Tommy Dreamer is one of the most respected figures in professional wrestling. One of the ECW originals, the legendary wrestling promotion that changed the industry introducing a “hardcore” style of wrestling in the late 90s wrestling boom, Dreamer went on to wrestle in the WWE for years wining two titles in the process.

Today, “The Innovator of Violence” is the married father of two twin girls and still actively wrestling, having started his own rapidly expanding wrestling promotional company, House of Hardcore, which has shows scheduled throughout the east coast this fall including stops in Philadelphia, New York and Cleveland.

Dreamer, alongside fellow wrestling royalty, Jake The Snake Roberts, Diamond Dallas Page and the late Roddy Piper, is in the new comedy film, The Bet, portraying the film’s confused softball umpire who has to navigate the movie’s wild final game of the season. It's a firing role as Dreamer is a walking baseball and football encyclopedia and can hands out fantasy baseball and football advice on several sports shows.
