[edit] Dreamer

Where did he get that name from? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Motaros (talk • contribs) 18:34, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

When he went to Wrestlemania II he dreamed of going to Wrestlemania. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.105.53.39 (talk) 05:02, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

Is this wrestler the same person as the actor who was in the Billy Jack movie series? Smerdis of Tlön 19:16, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)

No, obviously not. Didn't see the birthdate. Smerdis of Tlön 22:06, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

Laughlin has performed under the name "Tommy Dreamer" consistently since 1993, and it is the name he is best known by. Moving this page will allow for increased direct linking and will limit the need for redirects. McPhail 20:20, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

Add any additional comments

Support Avoids disambiguation and Dreamer is not going to change names any time soon.--Darren Jowalsen 02:34, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Moved. —Nightstallion (?) 15:23, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Twin Girls

Does anyone know when the girls were born, i mean the date? All I know is they were born in 2004. (MgTurtle 18:26, 8 July 2007 (UTC)).

[edit] Comedy at Club 54

I was wondering where this information came from as I can't find anything to support it nor can I remember ever seeing him on the show.--Dezza2001 00:27, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Entrance Music

Tommy Dreamer actually used the song "Even Flow" by Pearl Jam for the begining stages of his ECW career when he came out using the suspenders. "Man in the Box" by Alice In Chains came a little bit after.

[edit] Tommy Dreamer's adult film appearance

Within the next 30 minutes, screenshots will be posted right here from Tommy Dreamer's appearance in "Whack Attack 5" to correspond to the source included in the article (of which I am independent).

Not acceptable as a reliable source, see WP:RS. One Night In Hackney 07:44, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rydeen Bomb

when the editing lock comes off cn someone add the Rydeen Bomb to his list of signature moves. I hve seen him do it as few times and in the video telling where ECw will be he uses it

[edit] ECW World Title

Dreamer stated in the Rise and Fall of ECW DVD that he was pissed off at the time he won the the title because he wanted to go through ECW without winning the ECW World Title. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.54.154.25 (talk) 03:38, 26 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] A Signature Move

I feel that Dreamer's "Tree of Woe Dropkick" should be added. I don't see it as unsourced. (Rollinman 05:20, 16 July 2007 (UTC))

Yes, it should be added. It should also be added that he normally uses a weapon with it. (trash can, steel chair, etc.)

[edit] Lead links - third opinion.

Over the last couple of days there's been an edit war between myself and Endlessdan over creating wiktionary links in the article lead to the words heart and soul. The only comment he's made is "Tommy Dreamer is not the physical 'heart' or soul of ECW. It's a metaphor." but he has not replied to a comment on his talk page, so I'm seeking a third opinion.«»bd(^talk _stalk) 15:48, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Obviously he, a person, is not the "physical heart" of a company, but the wiktionary article has the metaphor definition of both words. Were there a way to link directly to a specific definition, I'd do that, but there isn't. That doesn't make the links bad links.«»bd(^talk _stalk) 15:48, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

• I'm happy to offer a third opinion, I just want to clarify the issue. You are of the opinion that these words should be linked to at wiktionary, and another user wants them as simple text with no links? Jmfangio| ►Chat  16:09, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Exactly.«»bd(^talk _stalk) 16:27, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

• Per WP:CONTEXT, it would seem that these should remain as plain text. That article will help. Jmfangio| ►Chat  16:33, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Alright then, thanks for the help.«»bd(^talk _stalk) 17:07, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

• No problem. I definitely sympathize with your frustration though. Jmfangio| ►Chat  17:12, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

• Thank you.--Endlessdan 17:16, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] shrit

y does he always have a shrit on ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.1.250.99 (talk) 03:52, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

If by "shrit" you mean "shirt", I believe he started wearing one after being caned repeatedly by The Sandman, which resulted in scars. --Smart Mark Greene (talk) 02:48, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Colin Delaney

Should be mentioned? I'll do my best... 3pointswish (talk) 02:49, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
