Tommy Dreamer is perhaps one of the most well known hardcore wrestlers of all time. A legend of the ECW promotion, Dreamer is a legend of the industry and known as “The Innovator Of Violence”. However, Dreamer has a more important battle to have outside of the ring, as he gears up to battle skin cancer for the third time.
Tommy Dreamer Announces He’s Got Skin Cancer For Third Time
During a recent House of Hardcore show, Dreamer would address the crowd and give the following announcement.
“I know you’re all looking at this and saying, ‘What the hell is so shiny on your head? Are you going to town? Are you having barbed wire matches? No. Guess what? Ladies and gentlemen, I had skin cancer. That’s right. Being a guido all these years has caught up to me. This is the third time I’ve had skin cancer. Of course, it’s on my head, but I’m not a pretty boy. I am hardcore. It’s scary when they tell you you have cancer. It’s the best form of cancer, but you have to get it removed. For this, they’re able to cut it out. It’s called Moles surgery.
I’ve had it before. I’ve had it here on my chest, I’ve had it on my head, and now I have a bigger one on my head. What you’re looking at is the grossness of 42 stitches. I had 23 outside and 19 inside. You don’t feel it when they’re cutting you. The weirdness of it is they have to cauterize your stuff, so you can smell your skin burning. Then the part that I didn’t like, you can hear the scalpel cutting open your head. The worst part is, you can hear them putting in the stitches, and it’s a long task to get that many stitches, but it’s in your head. They can numb it, you’re not feeling it. But you can hear it. You can hear it going into your skin and the tightening of the thread. It’s gross,”
We here at TheOvertimer wish Dreamer the best in his latest battle, and hope to be back with the great news of yet another victory against cancer as soon as we can.
