10 Wrestlers You Totally Forgot Worked For AEW

1. Tommy Dreamer

Glacier Gigi Dolin
AEW

Tommy Dreamer also appeared in the Casino Battle Royal.

As a reminder, the winner of the inaugural match went on to wrestle in the main event of All Out for the World Title. Imagine the marquee if certain wrestlers involved actually won the f*cking thing.

Chris Jericho Vs. Sunny Daze.

Chris Jericho Vs. Glacier.

Chris Jericho Vs. Tommy Dreamer.

Can you imagine the tearful victory speech?

"I'm so happy to have won this championship. Y'know, AEW reminds me of a certain wrestling promotion. A certain wrestling promotion in Philadelphia..."

Of course, Daze, Glacier nor Dreamer stood a chance of winning the match, which was another problem with it. The field itself made it feel fake before the various comedy spots did.

Given his drastically stupid comments on the Plane Ride from Hell Vice doc, it feels weird putting Dreamer over, but even if he showed ass thinking there was an office job in it, he showed ass. He did spots with Sonny Kiss and Orange Cassidy, as if to prove that he wasn't some old curmudgeon. He was willing to contribute.

And that was that.
