More power to him.


Absolutely. When I think of Dreamer, I don't think of those "WWE Confidential" versions of Cribs where they have a large pools, five cars, a bed that's the size of my apartment, and whatever else. I could see Tommy and his family in a sensible four bedroom house in Suburbia, with Tommy being the type to mow his own lawn, or whatever else. Pretty tame for the Innovator of Violence.

For some weird reason, I'd love to see the houses of the WWE stars.

    Seconded. I can't believe he's still around. Haven't ever seen one quality match with him that I didn't think was quality because of the other person involved.
My issue with the Undertaker is that the entire schtick is getting old: he comes back with all the theatrical SFX nonsense, wins a few matches and perhaps a title, and disappears for a number of months. Rinse and repeat.

However, Tommy's program with Christian was really, really good - and that's something I can't say about his current storyline with Batista, or Rey Mysterio or whomever.

Well, it was nice that they let him say goodbye. But, his last match was an abortion to watch, and putting Zach Ryder over isn't going to do him any good.

And the worst part, seeing a now middle age Beullah in the stands.

It was nice to let him have a special sendoff and I am glad they didnt cut him off mid speech. It was nice to see Beulah there for her man. It would of been better if she went into the ring and they did the ECW pose. It was cool to see Tommy with his kids and Beulah. I am glad it ended the way it did. I still hope he goes to TNA. It would be nice to see him versus Raven again

Putting anybody over wouldn't do them any good. He's Tommy Dreamer. He's lost every match he's been in.

I mean, it was really nice and so unlike WWE that it weirded me out. I assume when Dreamer got behind the curtain he was kicked in the balls or sumtin.

She is 40 and a mom. The nerve.

I can't imagine WWE would give him such a nice goodbye if he was actually just showing up on the competition in six days, right?

Tommy hit the nail on the head with calling Ryder, a catchphrase with nice hair. If Ryder is with this company in three years, I will be shocked. Tommy was ECW champion a few months ago, so the idea that he loses every match is silly. The problem is Ryder is not a credible opponent, he screams a slim Andrain Adonis. I am disappointed this wasn't an extreme rules match. My DVR cut out after the three count, so thanks to jwrestle for the youtube post. I'd still bang Buellah and really so would most of you.

This is true, Tommy was ECW champ. He lost every match for about seven years, then he won about 5 matches in a row, then he lost every match for six months.

That said, in terms of being allowed to leave with some dignity and class, this pretty much ranks only behind Flair and Trish Stratus.

Also, I expect Tommy will have one of those 90-day no-compete clauses in his release. Sure he likely eventually will end up in TNA, but I can't imagine it happening on Monday night.

Also, I don't think my wife would approve of me having relations with Beulah. Nor would Tommy Dreamer. Beulah probably would be against it as well. I don't think this plan is going to work at all.

Tommy's send off was a real treat to watch. Everybody deserves to be able to ride off into the sunset like that, but of course very few get to. Considering that Tommy wasn't a guy like Foley or Flair, or even as big a money maker as Trish Stratus, letting him say his goodbyes was unexpected, and well, sweet. Go home Tommy, raise your girls, and have a good life.

Ryder has a great catchphrase and terrible hair. He is awesome. He and Tommy are both from New York so Dreamer has passed the torch to a bro from L.I. Ryder and Rosa are the new Tommy and Beulah. Who else could he have lost to? Abraham Washington? The Ripper doesn't even work for ECW.

He could have lost to Yoshi, Christian, Hurricane, Ezekiel and others. Ryder is doing so well that JR ripped him in his Christmas list. There are more people on ECW then just him plus his catchphrase sucks.

This needs to be the next Out-of-Context Quote of the Week.

Fare thee well, Tommy Dreamer. Throwing-vomit-on-me-at The Rave-in-2000-during-an-"ECW-on-TNN"-taping aside, you were an (ECW) original.

Thanks for the memories.

Unwilling to wait until Saturday, I viewed the show through a popular online video site. Very good show. This may be my new tradition, since Hulu hates Canada.

And yes, I know it's not that; it's complicated, but that's my story.

Great send-off...I was touched by the segment. He has a beautiful family.

They were feuding on TV for the last month! It's not exactly choosing the guy to end the Undertaker's streak. woo woo woo

That's Savannah (Angela Fong).

Lena Yada was released over a year ago.
