Tommy Dreamer was recently a guest on Under The Mat Radio and he talked about his wrestling career, filming the “Authentic Untold Story of ECW” for the WWE Network and more.
During the interview Dreamer talked about drinking the Undertaker’s tobacco spit cup, and he revealed how much he got paid to do it. You can check out the full episode here along with a quote below.
“Yeah it was gross, it was real. I got $7,000 to do it and I got to wrestle the Undertaker three to four times. So I think anyone might do the same. Yeah that was rough and it was LIVE. The scaffold match back in the day was pretty crazy for one. Sandman made it two. I’m scared of heights, three. Brian Lee choked me with the electrical power from the entire building and after the match the guy told his that he is not sure how we were not electrocuted to death on the top of that scaffold. The scaffold swayed, I don’t know I’ve done a lot of crazy things.”
Last week on WWE SmackDown Live Zack Ryder suffered a knee injury during the tag team battle royal, and now he’s out of action. Ryder recently had surgery on his knee, and he posted an update regarding his recovery on Twitter.

It doesn’t look like we’ll be seeing Zack Ryder back in the ring anytime soon, as he was told that his recovery could take 4-6 months, or possibly ever 6-9 months.
I was told 4-6 months. I was also told 6-9 months. Time will tell. https://t.co/ziy4t8DPte
