As reported earlier, Tommy Dreamer, who re-signed with World Wrestling Entertainment over the summer, asked for his release over the weekend. Regarding his future prospects in the wrestling industry, the former ECW champion “will almost certainly be heading to TNA” according to a reliable source.
As a matter of fact, one WWE source said they expected him to debut on live episode of iMPACT! on January 4, 2010 — although logic would suggest he’d have some sort of no-compete since he asked out of his contract.
Dreamer, whose real name is Thomas James Laughlin, will go down as the last old-school ECW performer to be affiliated with the WWE version of the brand.
