This is Mike Buda with Top Rope Radio (every Tuesday 3-5pm CT) on SportstownChicago.com. We recently interviewed former ECW/WWE
manager/promoter Lou D'Angeli and he talked about his reaction to
CM Punk's fan altercation, Devon's surprise return at BFG, his relationship with
Paul Heyman, and his dislike of Billy Corgan and Resistance Pro
Wrestling. Here are the highlights of the interview:
On CM Punk’s altercation with a
fan on Raw:
“He’s the top heel, he’s
probably one of the most visible guys in that company and he has legit heat on
him. People don’t like him and you can't send a guy like that into the crowd
unprotected…If somebody’s punching me, I’m punching back. It sucks that it
happened like that, but he shouldn’t have been in that situation to begin
with.”
On Billy Corgan’s Resistance Pro
Wrestling:
“This is no different than some
random guy with a lot of money that comes off the street and buys his way into a
wrestling promotion.. It’s really annoying to be quite honest with you because
there are a lot of people that are really passionate and they just don’t have
deep pockets.”
On Devon’s appearance at Bound
For Glory:
“There’s an element of surprise. I think there are
very few people that are able to do this that can work the dirt sheets and
everyone around you to believe one thing’s happening and then swerve them and
realistically surprise them; I think that’s awesome. It’s kind of cool because
to my knowledge everyone thought Devon was gone and quite frankly, I think he
still is, but I have no idea. I don’t ask him.”
