TOMMY DREAMER Real Name: Tom Laughlin Also Known As: T.D. Madison, The Innovator of Violence Date of Birth: ... From: Yonkers, New York Height: 6'3" Weight: 245 pounds Finishing Move: The Death Valley Driver Famous Quote: "E - C - F'N W!" "The Innovator of Violence", Tommy Dreamer has been with ECW since its inception in 1993. He is a true flag-bearer of "Hardcore Wrestling", and some would say the standard-setter of ECW's level of extreme. This life has not been easy for Dreamer, however, as he has been placed in incredible situations, but he has always somehow prevailed in the end, running the likes of Jerry "The King" Lawler out of ECW despite insurmountable odds. After an early stint in IWCCW, Dreamer arrived at ECW where he quickly won the respect of the fans who admired his sheer desire to compete. Eventually his strong work ethic and fierce determination caught the attention of Terry Funk, who became his personal mentor. After learning the ropes (no doubt wrapped in barbed wire) from Funk, Tommy went on to some of the most violent, bloody, and memorable matches in wrestling history. During classic feuds against Raven, the Sandman, and a host of others, Dreamer has been put through hundreds of tables, has been Singapore-Caned repeatedly, and has faced a variety of savage attacks. And he keeps coming back for more. In mid-1999, Dreamer was struggling with a pair of herniated discs in his back. Many predicted a retirement announcement. Then, when it couldn't seem to get any worse, Tommy Dreamer's most hated foe, Raven, returned to Extreme Championship Wrestling. Trapped into a World Tag Team championship with his worst enemy, Dreamer found himself again within the shadows of the man he had struggled to defeat and escape the clutches of several years back. Pushed mentally and physically to the breaking point, it will only be a matter of time until the "Innovator of Violence" strikes back at his adversaries...but how does one do that when your adversary is your own partner?
