WWE sources noted that Tommy Dreamer was at WWE HQ in Stamford, CT yesterday. I don't know whether to read into that or not as he lives in the area and has been a regular visitor there since he left the company, but he was just on Raw as well. So, stay tuned. Dreamer has said he has planned for three House of Hardcore events this year. If you haven't seen the first show, it's worth checking out at www.HouseofHardcore.net, especially the Tony Nese vs. Alex Reynolds bout.
Dreamer discussed his WWE return, HOH and more with PWInsiderTV earlier this week:
