Hosts Jack E. Jones and One Inch Biceps welcomed surprise guest Tony Mamaluke of Extreme Rising to IYH Wrestling Radio. Highlights of this interview included the following:
What were/are his thoughts on Extreme Reunion/Extreme Rising?
“I think people got the misunderstanding of what Extreme Reunion really was about and what Extreme Rising is about. Extreme Reunion was about trying to remember some great moments. Extreme Rising is about creating some new ones. I think a lot of people might from the outskirts of it looking at it subjectively might think it’s about a bunch of old has-beens or never-weres that are trying to get a payday, but for me personally I can tell you it’s because for one, I’m not one of the older guys in the group; I still have some years left under me and I’m just trying to be a part of capturing that magic that made what ECW was great and then making something new out of that inspiration. That’s really what Extreme Rising is. It’s not like the Eagles coming back around for the umpteenth reunion tour just so that they can get a payday and charge too much for a ticket. It’s not about that type of thing. It’s about trying to recapture what was brilliant about ECW, which was the organic nature of things; which was capturing the energy from the crowd and then manifesting that into entertaining matches.”
