TSC Evaluation #14: Tommy Dreamer

[El Poyo Loco]

I gave him a 5 only because he decided to continually get his ass kicked for almost 3 years to keep a story line going and it wasn't just Raven involved. It was Stevie Richards, Brian Lee, Louie Spicoli.

What damaged him to me was Mick Foleys truthful anti hardcore promos which where at times directed at Dreamer. How many times are you going to do this crazy shyt for people who just wanna see you bleed and not get paid. Before Dreamer decided to go full hardcore he was a decent worker he had a good look but the Philly fans would just shyt on him.

Dreamer should've left like Foley did if you wanna do hardcore fine but get that WWF check. Dreamer in the Attitude era could've been something good for him.

4.

Not even going to bother doing the regular format with this guy. Bad promo and sloppy looking guy that got famous by getting beat up night after night and taking Ls from Raven. I agree that he's a legend within the realm of ECW, but he means nothing anywhere else. He never did anything without the booking of Heyman to stand out on his own, and even when Heyman finally HAD to put him on top in ECW (because everyone else left), he was a failure.

I'm very much enjoying reading these Dreamer evaluations

6. I give him that for obviously being on the lower tier of ecw talent (sabu rvd raven taz dudleys mick foley etc etc) yet still being pretty over. He needs to five it up tho before hes dead.

I cant believe taz got a 5.6. Least dreamer will be lower.

I gave him a 6

he had a memorable run in ECW and was used as a jobber/lower carder in WWE. I think he was a pretty good brawler, talker, and could run the behind the scenes aspects of a company. so he is valuable but he's not a transcendent star like Dusty, isn't as charismatic as Scott Stiner, and he won't blow you away with his work like Guerrero or Jericho so he gets an average score.

@Bonefan32 Aren't you the big time Dreamer fan? I'd like to hear the positives about Dreamer.

tommy dreamer - owes his career to Paul E...big time...at best he could work and could talk..i remember when he used to come out and wrestle in suspenders and the ecw fans would let him have it..without ECW its not the same..i also feel he will be the subject of a pro wrestling/CTE documentary in the next 10-15 years...but he entertained me more than jeff jarrett ..5 i guess

 

[Heelish]

I'll give him a 3. Only because he and RVD were the reasons I checked out old school ECW, which was the gateway into discovering the 2000s independent scene. Yes, I was a Dreamer mark, but I was 13 and pointless blading/chairshots were cool.

On second thought, I'm gonna give him a 1 for continuing to wrestle after all the concussions he's had and for his matches I downloaded which probably gave my Compaq Presario so many viruses.

Along with his wife's... solo act.

 

[BodeineBrazy]

met him at my boy's indy show last year, pure dikk... gave him a 4 based off that alone.

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

Hot garbage.

The fact that he was ECW champ, but RVD and jerry Lynn wasn't is appalling.

Marks love to see cheer the most trash wrestlers.

He gets a 1 and that's being a saint right now.

Hot garbage.

The fact that he was ECW champ, but RVD and jerry Lynn wasn't is appalling.

Wasn't he champion for like a few hours?

 

[Kunty McPhuck]

Terry Funk and Mick Foley's retarded little b*stard son.

 

[Heelish]

Wasn't he champion for like a few hours?

I forget who he defeated for it, but he lost it later that night to Justin Credible.

 

[The Rainmaker]

I never understood the "Innovator of violence" moniker he got. How can you be the innovator of violence when you are generally on the receiving end of said violence?

I give him a 4 only because he has hustled the wrestling business enough to buy him as a sympathetic babyface for years without any remarkable talent.
