I just finished listening to an interview he did with the guys from Monday Night Mayhem. I was expecting an intellegent conversation regarding wrestling. Instead I listened to the biggest dirtbag in wrestling. Not answering questions, cursing like a 14 year old boy, and rambling incoherently. I know he is the "great" Tod Gordon but man was came off as a douche. Anyone else hear it?

Tod Gordon hasn't been relevant in wrestling ever since he was ran out of town in ECW. As such, I'm not surprised he's been stewing over his misfortune for the past decade.

It sounded like he was on drugs. Very strange. I just expected something totally different. It could have been a great interview.

I think I might be a little behind here....what exactly happened to him? There are two different very different sides to this story. Heyman and his goons thought of Gordon as a "mole" because Gordon helped those that were close to him in ECW get in contact with WCW. Technically, this wasn't illegal, because they didn't have written contratcts in ECW, just a verbal agreement. Those that side with Gordon on this issues feel that he was just helping out those that got ECW off of the ground (like Public Enemy) to get a better paying gig.

I heard that whole "mole" thing was a work just so Gordon could leave. Of course everything could be seen as a work if you look hard enough so who knows?

On Forever Hardcore, everyone says the Mole thing was a work and that Tod and Paul were laughing at it the entire time.
Tod actually sued WWE a while back to get the footage of NWA-ECW claiming it was his and that WWE got it by defualt, but it was thrown out.
I believe he still owns and operates the same pawn shop he did back when NWA-ECW started.

See, I found this funny considering Hayman was the mole for WWE(F) and yet he's worshipped like a god cause he couldn't pay people money he owed them

Everyone and their mother knew Heyman and McMahon worked out a partnership of sorts to combat WCW looting their wrestlers back then. Heyman didn't steal wrestlers' pay and buy a Rolls Royce and a mansion with it either. He just sucked with handling the economic aspect of a business, and didn't have anyone else available to handle the company's finances. Also, who "worships him like a god" because he couldn't pay his wrestlers? Last I checked, Heyman is legendary for his booking.
