ECW legend D-Von Dudley has publicly urged AEW to sign Tommy Dreamer following his recent departure from TNA. Speaking on the Duke Loves Rasslin podcast, the tag team specialist praised Dreamer’s sharp wrestling mind and suggested he could be a valuable backstage asset, similar to Michael Hayes or Pat Patterson. D-Von encouraged Tony Khan to bring in Dreamer for his proven creative expertise, believing the veteran’s deep knowledge of the business would be a major asset to AEW.
“I think, you know, if Tony Khan is listening, Tommy Dreamer is definitely somebody that can be used in that aspect. He could be your Michael Hayes or your Pat Patterson, things like that, because Tommy’s very, very good. Again, I’m telling you, he has a great mind for this business.” – D-Von Dudley
