Paul Heyman Responds to CW Anderson’s Criticisms From the Final Days of ECW
– As previously reported, former ECW star CW Anderson recently appeared on The Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling podcast, and he had some criticisms against Paul Heyman in the final days of ECW. For one, he accused Paul Heyman of not showing up to a lot of the final events, and Tommy Dreamer handling and running a lot of the events instead. He also claimed that Paul Heyman was out in LA filming the movie Rollerball in 2000 instead of trying to save the company.
Paul Heyman has now responded to Anderson’s criticisms on Twitter, and you can read his tweets below. Heyman claimed Anderson’s timetable of events is wrong, and he only filmed his scenes for Rollerball after ECW had already gone out of business.
I saw an interview in which #CWAnderson claims I was in LA shooting #Rollerball instead of trying to save #ECW back in 2000 ….

(2) My scenes in Rollerball were shot in June and July, 2001. Not when #ECW was in business. I was actually booked for the movie thru @WWE

(3) The insinuation that I was shooting movie(s) in LA instead of trying to save what was my life (at the time) (#ECW) is just ignorant.

(4) Not only did I desperately try every angle 2 save the company, I put in every last dime I personally had, even when the ship was sinking

(5) I have zero regrets over any of this. I went bankruipt trying to save #ECW, and have never regretted my investment and never will.

(6) So when someone repeats a blatant lie about my comitment at the time to the product to which I devoted seven years of my life, it's …

… nothing short of ignorance on full display for the entire world to see. It's a shame I waited this long to correct the record on this

… BS that has lingered for all these years, but I remember sitting on the @WWE plane with @VinceMcMahon and someone had said something …

I also sit there every week and see @BrockLesnar laugh at every rumor, every innuendo, every claim made about him ….
— Paul Heyman (@HeymanHustle) February 26, 2017
And when I say "so, Brock … is there a retort?" He laughs out loud and says "not a chance!"

So today, I decided to lower myself and answer a claim that people w/ nothing to do seem to repeat with no regard for accuracy.
— Paul Heyman (@HeymanHustle) February 26, 2017
I accept all criticism 4 this diatribe, and confess I should have been above it all, and offer no excuses as to why I decided to address it.

Oh I almost forgot. To answer #CW's nagging self-question as to why he was paid $75 a night when others had more (at least on paper) …

That was the going rate for a lower level stooge who reported on the locker room to Dreamer. But admittedly, he was a damn good one. PROPS!
