Tommy Dreamer Discusses Family Situation That Forced Him To Take Away From Impact
He has always been loved by the world of professional wrestling because of his hardcore wrestling style. After his ECW career ended in 2001, he worked in different promotions including some big ones and on the independent circuit as well, but he is always remembered for his ECW days.
In 2001 he joined WWE for the first time in his career after ECW was purchased by WWE on the same year. At first he was involved in the WWE vs Alliance storyline in 2001 and after that he started working on the Hardcore Division of WWE and he won the WWE Hardcore championship for a total number of 14 Times. In 2005 he was released from WWE and he worked on different promotions including some independent circuit promotion as well.
His finisher Dreamer Driver is somewhere between the Death Valley Driver of Perry Saturn and the Attitude Adjustment of John Cena. It has a lot of similarities with the AA so it is very much possible that John Cena might have asked for permission from him so that he could use his finisher by modifying it a little.
Tommy Dreamer who is the former two times ECW World Champion and a former 14 times WWE Hardcore Champion recently spoke with a camera man after the Hardcore War match where he revealed the family situation that forced him to take away from Impact. He said;
“Tonight was a pure example of what I love about professional wrestling. It’s an escape, it’s an escape for me. There’s no other place I wanted to be than in the middle of that ring tonight. I have received so much love from the professional wrestling community… I just gotta say thank you. I’m gonna go away for a while, because, mentally, I’m not here, and I gotta get better. Somebody else needs my love.
“It’s a beautiful world I’ve lived in, and it’s going to be the hardest one I have to leave. Again, for tonight, I just want to say, thank you, for everything you’ve ever done for me, I’ve literally wrestled in front of billions of people. Thank you for today, and thank you for everything. I love you guys.”
