Around the Ring with Gabby Laspisa
This week’s guest on Around the Ring is Tommy Dreamer. Gabby Laspisa introduces Dreamer as a huge star and asks about the hoodie he’s wearing. Dreamer is not looking tan enough, so he’s keeping his hood up. Dreamer goes through his pockets and takes out a charger, hotel toothpaste and a pen. Dreamer doesn’t want to talk about anything but wrestling, but that’s not the point of the show. Dreamer decides to brush his teeth as Laspisa asks him about sports. Dreamer swallows the toothpaste and talks about going to all professional sports stadiums and arenas in American sports. He’s only one of twenty-seven people to accomplish that. Dreamer gives Laspisa his toothbrush as he talks about his favorite stadiums. For baseball, Dreamer picks San Francisco, Citi Field, and Pittsburgh. For football, Dreamer picks Minnesota. Dreamer goes back to brushing his teeth and thanks Chris Benoit for chipping one of his teeth. Laspisa was excited to have Dreamer on because he’s never been on Around the Ring before. Dreamer says that he has learned more about people from Around the Ring than he has from talking to them. Dreamer finally takes off his hood and says that the white balance is all off now. Laspisa and Dreamer then talk about food and how much they love to eat. Laspisa recently lost a bunch of weight and Dreamer always checks in on her to see if she got fat again. Laspisa asks Dreamer the 100 men or 1 gorilla question. Dreamer thinks that five ECW guys would beat the gorilla. Dreamer picks Rob Van Dam, Bubba Dudley, D-Von Dudley, Rhino, and himself as the ECW wrestlers. Dreamer packs up his pocket things and leaves as Laspisa signs off.
