Tommy Dreamer wrestled in Puerto Rico for the first time in 2001 for the International Wrestling Association in a Christmas special event. In a recent interview with Lucha Libre Online, Dreamer recalls what it was like wrestling in Puerto Rico, commenting on the wrestling fans there.
However, that wasn’t the only time Tommy Dreamer visited Puerto Rico. In 2007, WWE did a tour in Puerto Rico, holding various house shows accross the territory. Dreamer worked three matches there during a feud with Elijah Burke and Matt Striker. He noted the atmosphere during this visit to the country.
Tommy Dreamer’s hardcore style clicked with the wrestling fans in Puerto Rico and they were all for watching the more brutal style of wrestling, which Dreamer was a master of.
Tommy Dreamer is still going strong in Impact at the age of 49
Even at the age of 49, Tommy Dreamer hasn’t yet hit the brakes. He is an active part of the Impact Wrestling roster since returning to the Impact Zone in 2018.
It has been almost three years since, and Tommy Dreamer has somehow been able to remain one of the main attractions of Impact continuously. Dreamer is also a part of Impact’s creative team since 2019.
Dreamer is set to face the Impact World Champion Rich Swann for the title at the upcoming Impact event No Surrender on February 13.
The date of No Surrender is the same as Tommy Dreamer’s birthday and the hardcore legend will be turning fifty next week. It is surprising that he’s still going strong given that his body suffered so much early in his wrestling career. But he continues to defy the odds.
