How different is the atmosphere backstage in WWE/ECW than the old ECW days?

The Sandman: Raven, Rhyno, The Dudleys, Bam Bam Bigelow.

Andy Steven: If were given the opportunity to bring a WWE RAW or SmackDown superstar over to ECW, who would it be and why?

The Sandman: Rey Mysterio because he was one of the originals and his style matches ECWs style.

Andy Steven: What is your thoughts on ECW One Night Stand and the debut of ECW on Sci Fi? Is there anything you would have improved if you could? Would you off taken anything off?

The Sandman: I enjoyed my segment with the Zombie at first it was going to be a Martian but Sci-Fi didnt like our idea of a Martian then it was going to be a cook to spoof the food network then they went with the Zombie. As far as the rest of the show I really dont know I didnt get to see it.

Andy Steven: Is The Sandman going to hunt for the ECW Championship? When will we see the ECW Championship belt on you?

The Sandman: I have no idea at this point I am fine right now with my position on the roster and what the have in mind for me.

Andy Steven: How much WWE creative impact is going into ECW? Are the wrestlers getting their say?

The Sandman: I dont know how much input the WWE is having or Paul or anything like that. We are getting to put in our ideas and things yes.

The Sandman: I dont know where he is and I think maybe he will be coming I really dont know.

Andy Steven: How are the WWE superstars treating the ECW wrestlers?

The Sandman: They are treating us with respect and I havent seen any egos. Actually The Big Show has been a big help to me back stage and Kurt has taught me so much that I will never be able to pay him back for all he has done for me.
