On a recent episode of the Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling Podcast, CW Anderson made comments about how Heyman was in Los Angeles filming the movie “Rollerball,” instead of trying to save ECW back in 2000. Naturally, this didn’t sit well with the advocate for Brock Lesnar, and he responded as follows on Twitter:
“It’s absurd that people have done nothing to talk about in 17 years so they are constrained to address their heartbreak about 2000/01. Of course, that makes me an even bigger schmuck to feel compelled to ANSWER these moronic comments, but the food is cooking, so … (1) Rollerball was never filmed in LA. It was filmed in Montreal and then in Yonkers, NY. (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 bankrupt trying to save #ECW, and have never regretted my investment and never will. (6) So when someone repeats a blatant lie about my commitment 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.”
Editor’s Note:
Who knows if this is true or not, but the way that Heyman talks, I could believe every word that came out of his mouth.
