Tommy Dreamer news

[noumenon]

As noted earlier, numerous sources within World Wrestling Entertainment have confirmed that Tommy Dreamer is parting ways with the company. The word going around among talent at last night's SmackDown/ECW taping in Miami was that Dreamer had requested his release from the company. As noted earlier, "The ECW Original" has been with WWE since July 2001, working both as a wrestler and also holding other responsibilities within the company. He did work last night's ECW taping, facing Zack Ryder. I obviously can't confirm this just yet but it's very possible he'll wind up in TNA at some point. I reported several months ago that there was a reason that Dreamer wasn't appearing on ECW. He was said to have been very frustrated for quite some time now.

As noted last week here on the website, there are said to be other releases coming at the start of the new year. WWE usually does a yearly 'spring cleaning' where numerous talents lose their jobs. It's safe to say that many talent, especially those on the ECW brand, are worried about their futures.

No great loss. Aside from his feud with Raven in ECW Dreamer never did anything of value.

Having Ryder "retire" him would be the smart move. They set up for it a few weeks back, give Ryder a nice little rub and some heat to run off of.

I never understood how Dreamer got all the love he did. He is a mediocre wrestler, an average promo at best and not at all intimidating in the least.

TNA! TNA! TNA! TNA!

Rhyno...Raven...Taz...Team 3D...maybe RVD? Then Dreamer? You know there used to be a company with all those guys at one time...what was that called again?

I think it was just his undying loyalty to the original spirit of ECW. Most of the ECW couldn't adapt to WWE's style but somehow he was able to find just the right balance between the two and manage to stick around for 9 years.
Hey, he got his reign with the ECW title this year, I think that's all he really wanted.

^^ Cosign that. Dreamer was easy to please, and didn't get the credit he deserved. Oh well, the company could care less I bet, but there goes another ECW Original. The last one I believe.

Don't show up in TNA. Just don't.

There is still Chris Jericho and Rey Mysterio

 

[noumenon]

Yeah, but as far as ECW buyout era, he's the last left.

They have never been presented as ECW Originals.

I never saw what was so great about his wrestling either??

 

[noumenon]

Nothing, he was just an old school guy who was good at putting over younger talent and a good go to guy whenever they wanted a nice Extreme Rules match.

 

[He who knows more than Nation]

Yup.^^^

Dreamer BLOWS. Always has. The only time he was great was under Paul E's book, but it speaks volumes of Heyman to make people believe guys like Sandman, Shane Douglas, Sabu and Tazz were decent to good workers. All of them blew fat cock outside ECW because Heyman's booking style could make anyone look like a million bucks, plus it isn't hard to look good in hardcore matches. Tommy can hitch the next ride to TNA and catch up with his busted, near useless former ECW cohorts.
