Tommy Dreamer Talks Trying to Bring Kimbo Slice to WWE Years Ago

WWE.com has published a new interview with Tommy Dreamer, during which Dreamer talks about working in WWE Talent Relations in the mid-2000’s and attempting to bring MMA fighter Kimbo Slice to WWE. The following is an interview quote from Dreamer:

“His manager sent me a very impressive demo reel. Back then, it was on a VHS tape and I was totally in awe of what I was seeing. It was all street fighting and him cutting promos. I had no clue who he was and I was captivated once I saw him.”

“I was told, “We’re not going in that direction,” and “How long would it take to develop a talent like that?” I don’t know if he would have went to developmental system at the time or if he [Kimbo] was thinking, “Hey, I’m gonna get signed and go to the main roster,” but it was kind of shot down quickly.”
