20 ECW Easter Eggs, References And In-Jokes You Never Noticed

18. That Time Jerry Lawler Invaded ECW And Tommy Dreamer Had Testicle Surgery In The Same Night

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1dzqe_jerry-lawler-debuts-in-ecw_sport "He's hardcore." Yes, that's what ECW fans screamed at Tommy Dreamer for years. However, the most hardcore Dreamer story ever that proves his true doesn't involve being lit on fire, tossed through tables or making out with two valets at the same time. Rather, the most hardcore Dreamer story ever involves the OTHER "ECW Invasion," that being in February 1997 when Jerry "The King" Lawler showed up at the ECW Arena after Tommy Dreamer's defeat of Raven, and promptly set about beating up Dreamer. After a brief comeback, Lawler subdued Dreamer with a cane shot to the testicles which actually ruptured one of Dreamer's testicles, sending the "innovator of Violence" to a local Philadelphia hospital where he had fluid removed from his testes. Of all of the ECW/WWF "invasions," it's amazingly easily the most violent.
