10 Things You Didn’t Know About Tommy Dreamer
9. He’s Suffered Numerous Injuries, Including A Broken Neck & A Broken Back…Oh, And The Testicle Thing, Of Course…
Long-time fans can vividly keep in mind ECW’s notorious ‘Singapore cane match’, once gremlin beat the ever adoring sh*t out of Dreamer with a cane, whereas the masochistic Dreamer begged, “please sir, am i able to have another?”
Well, any career speech act a highlight reel as brutal and bloody as Dreamer’s is sure to be injury troubled. His list of wrestling-related injuries may be a long one, and will most likely be easier summed up with the subsequent statement,
‘If it may be hurt, Tommy Dreamer has most likely hurt it at some purpose in his career’.
He’s broken his nose 3 times; suffered thirteen snapped fingers and even cracked his heel. He’s additionally suffered (at least) sixteen serious concussions.
Dreamer endured each a broken neck and a broken back while within the original ECW and, following the WWE’s 1st ECW One Night Stand Pay Per View; he genuinely thought he would possibly lose AN ear.
As Dreamer aforementioned on ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin’s podcast, “Bubba caned Pine Tree State in my ear therefore onerous that the doctor aforementioned my ear might fall off, that’s however severe trauma I had. I wished my ear to fall off whereas i used to be sitting therein workplace (…) I wished to indicate that Vince (McMahon), even supposing my ear might fall off, if my ear falls off at this table, i would like you to understand that my ear fell off for you”.
Incredibly, Dreamer claims that he has ne'er had surgery, even once he poor his neck and back. He had no insurance at the time, and, quite honestly, couldn’t afford to not be operating, therefore he merely well up as quickly as he might and arrived within the ring. currently that’s hardcore!
Perhaps the foremost wince-inducing injury Dreamer ever received, however, was once Kraut ‘The King’ Lawler caned him within the ballock, nearly rupturing it within the method. Following the incident, doctors had to get rid of 20CC’s of blood from his swollen nutsack. With needles. Ouch.
Obviously, Dreamer regards the broken back because the worst injury that he’s received while wrestling (although in person, my cash is firmly on the ballock thing), however he’s additionally been assault hearth, thrown into jagged spools of wire (and razor wire) and has, in his own words “bled buckets” in some matches.
On experiencing pain, Dreamer is comparatively casual. As in ‘meh, its a part of the job’, to him its like managing that pain-in-the-@$ client, or burning yourself on the low machine…
“When I’m reception and I’ll stub my toe, I’ll frisk screaming sort of a female. however the energy and therefore the epinephrin i buy playacting before of individuals, most of the days I feel no pain. That’s however i am going out there and have it away. once the match, I’ll sometimes collapse and cry within the back, however out there, I’m pretty smart.”
