Tommy Dreamer has been everywhere, ECW, TNA, WWE, you name it.
While working, Tommy used the Dreamer Driver as a finisher, which is a version of the Death Valley Driver, or what we know today as the Attitude Adjustment, used by John Cena. On this week’s Busted Open Radio, Dreamer spoke about his interactions with John Cena. He called it a blessed opportunity to have been able to work with him and how Cena asked Tommy to use his finish.
I was blessed to work with John. It kind of was my deal when I worked with WWE. I worked with everyone when they first started on the road. John was always a professional. I’ll tell you what stood out because this business is all about respect. It really is. Early on when they (WWE) first wanted to push John, he came to me and said, ‘They suggested in the meeting to use your finish as my finish. I wanted to come to you. If you don’t want me to do it, I won’t do it.’ I was like, ‘I appreciate you so much for coming to me. I’m not winning with it and obviously they want you to do it, so run with it.’ Just to come to another person and say that, was super cool because he cared when he didn’t have to care.
