In an exclusive for WrestlingNews.co, Steve Fall interviewed former WWE star Duke “The Dumpster” Droese on his WWE career. Droese has been retired from full-time wrestling since 2001 and he recently appeared on MLW TV earlier this year. Scroll down to watch the entire interview.
On getting heat with The Undertaker:
“I remember me and Pierre, the Quebecer Pierre, who’s now PCO, we would be on many house shows together in the first or second match of the night. We would go out there and just fly all over the place and beat the hell out of each other and I remember guys like the Undertaker and Shawn Michaels and them getting pissed off about what we were doing because they had to go out for the main event, and, you know, they’re like, ‘We can’t follow that.’ It’s like, ‘Well, maybe you got to step up your game.’ There’s a whole nother bunch of heat I put on myself, but I would say sh*t like that to them. I’d be like, ‘Look, man, I’m just trying to get over and make some money here and improve my position, so I’m gonna go out there and do everything I can’, and they didn’t like it. They didn’t like my answer many times. They didn’t like whatever answers I gave them for situations, but I really didn’t care. I just spoke the way I felt and sometimes that could get you in trouble in the wrestling business.”
On Pam Anderson and Jenny McCarthy backstage at WrestleMania XI
“She (Pam Anderson) didn’t mingle with the boys very much. Wherever her dressing room was, that’s where she kind of stayed. She was very nice. I think they kept us separated on purpose, but I’ll tell you who was really cool was Jenny McCarthy. Jenny McCarthy was so awesome. Such a nice person. She was so into it. But yeah, at that Royal Rumble, we didn’t really see much of Pam. I think she was with Tommy at the time, Tommy Lee. They just kind of, you know, rolled in there and rolled back out of there.”
