In the last week, Tod Gordon offered some interesting insights in his recent "Tod Is Pod" podcast episodes. Here are a few insights from the 2 videos in this post:
- How Gary Wolf (Pitbull #1) was able to use subtle moves to help the "Shane Douglas - Halo" angle get the crowd even more riled up that night
- The way he overcame his own disdain for "manager vs. manager" matches during the build up to his match against Bill Alfonso (Fonzie)
- His desire to have brought in Roddy Piper into the early Eastern Championship Wrestling days to go along with Jimmy Snuka & Don Muraco, who already were on the ECW roster
- Who brought TV announcer Jay Sulli into the company
- His perspective on what happened after ECW folded, and some ECW veterans appeared after the main event for CZW's Cage Of Death event later in 2001 when Sandman & John Zandig were standing on top of the cage
- His respect for Woman (Nancy Sullivan) and the respect she had from the ECW locker room
- His explanation of suggesting to talent not do more than they should in order to grow the crowd's appeal
- A prank/rib story about Rockin' Rebel in a battle royal
- His disdain for being B.S.-ed by wrestling promotions, so his building ECW to honor their promises to fans including the Bad Breed (Ian & Axl Rotten) splitting up as a tag team and never reuniting again in ECW
- The debacle of the Public Enemy / Badd Company "bomb" match in ECW
