Wrestling Icon Backstage At Smackdown Tapings

[Heelish]

How many concussions does he have?

When on Storm Front's podcast in 2014:

Today was part 2 of Tommy Dreamer's interview on Steve Austin's podcast. A large part of the interview had to do with Tommy and his propensity to do lots of high spots in matches, including his past chair shots to the head with no hands up.

As the interview went on, you could tell Steve was getting perpetually pissed at Tommy for basically being a dumb ass because of the things he was saying and then continuing to do - Tommy was talking about short term memory loss, long periods of time where he blacked out, and other moments in his life that signify significant brain damage. He's only in his early 40's.

Tommy was laughing it off, but you could tell Steve was getting audibly annoyed, and was calling him out on it, and Tommy couldn't back himself up. In fact, he continued to push his style of wrestling at his wrestling school, the House of Hardcore.

It's got me worried that we have a serious case of brain damage here that is only going to get worse, and, heaven forbid, end up like Chris Benoit.

Yeah he's had 16 concussions and when he mentioned he forgets and spaces out a lot you could tell Steve was worried as hell but Tommy just shrugged it off

also Tommy still takes unprotected chair shots

I saw Tommy speak at an event a few months ago and he told a story (apologies if this is also in the podcast, I haven't listened to it) about wanting to get actually, legitimately shot with a sniper rifle for an angle. He thought it would really sell some ECW storyline if someone hired a sniper and shot him for real, but in the shoulder or arm or something, so he wouldn't actually die. Paul Heyman liked the idea, but was mostly worried about the shooter missing and hitting a fan, leading to a lawsuit.

Terry Funk eventually talked them out of it, but hilariously his reasoning was that if someone shoots you and you don't legitimately murder him in your next match, you'll lose credibility with the fans and kill the promotion. He cited a time his father had been legitimately shot in the ass during a match and the same thing happened.
