Tommy Dreamer is synonymous with ECW. ECW is synonymous for some of its more violent elements. As such, The Innovator Of Violence is a nickname that puts you in no doubt: Tommy Dreamer is somebody who will go to new heights in terms of bringing a big bowl of brutality to the table. The former ECW World Champion has been known to use chairs, tables, ladders, stop signs, cheese graters, shovels, guitars, a Godzilla toy, and even an actual kitchen sink in matches. Dreamer made his reputation in ECW on the beatings that he could withstand and the violent places of his psyche that he would go to in order to defeat an opponent. The Innovator Of Violence nickname is one that lets you know that this is an extreme man who will go to extreme measures to make himself stand out in the extreme landscape of what was then ECW and is now the general professional wrestling world. Even to this day Dreamer can still be found making odd appearances for TNA, on the independent circuit, or in the ring for his own House of Hardcore promotion. And wherever he turns up, The Innovator Of Violence usually brings along his weapons of choice.
