• Old School ECW Legend Celebrates His Birthday
Old School ECW Legend “The Innovator of Violence” Tommy Dreamer (Real name: Thomas Laughlin) celebrates his birthday today.
Literally no other Professional Wrestler is as synonymous with the 3 letters ECW, as “The Heart and Soul of ECW” Tommy Dreamer was and still is.
Tommy joined NWA Eastern Championship Wrestling in 1993 as a muscular pretty boy character, but soon after the promotion left the NWA in 1994 and became known as Extreme Championship Wrestling, he evolved into a Hardcore Wrestler.
He stayed with the legendary promotion till the very end in January 2001 and then joined the World Wrestling Federation a few months later.
Dreamer then wrestled for the WWF/WWE until 2010 and again for a few months in 2015 & 2016, but also worked for TNA/iMPACT Wrestling in 2010-2011, 2013-2015 and 2018-2019.
He also owns his own promotion ‘House of Hardcore’, that was named after ECW’s very own wrestling school, where Taz was the head-coach training all the students during the 90s.
Tommy is married to Old School ECW valet Beulah McGillicutty and together they have 2 daughters.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOMMY DREAMER!
