The Blue Meanie — ECW's Extreme Legacy, Comedy In Wrestling, The Influence of Paul Heyman

Brian Heffron, The Blue Meanie, joins Wrestling Life with Ben Veal to reflect back on being one of the most beloved characters from the land of Extreme’s golden era. A proud Philadelphia native and ECW original, The Blue Meanie went on to have two runs with the WWE, first during the Attitude Era and later when ECW was reprised for One Night Stand.  The founding bWo member joins the show to talk about sitting under the learning trees of Al Snow and Scott 'Raven' Levy, the influence that Paul Heyman had on his career, the joy of helping to kickstart the careers of current talents such as Matt Riddle, Steve Maclin and Damian Priest, and why comic relief is so vital to the pro wrestling product.Subscribe: ⁠⁠   / @wrestlinglifeonline  ⁠⁠Subscribe to our channel: ⁠⁠   / @wrestlinglifeonline  ⁠⁠Prefer to listen to your wrestling conversations?
