I was watching Dreamer/Funk/Beulah vs. Foley/Edge/Lita from One Night Stand 2006, and started thinking that it may be Dreamer's best match ever. Then the more I thought about it, I decided that it's not very different from most of his hardcore style matches, so there's a very high chance that he's had some better matches. I also thought that his I Quit match against CW Anderson at ECW Guilty As Charged 2001 was very good, but seems like too random of a choice for "best match".
What was his best match against Raven? I actually haven't seen many of their ECW matches, so currently I'd say that their Hardcore Justice match was my favorite.

His match with Raven that he won in ECW. (I'm really bad with ECW event names)
Gotta love Dreamer/Sandman vs. The Dudleys from the first One Night Stand as well.

Dreamer/Sandman vs. The Dudleys was very awesome. Again, nothing was really unique about the match, it just had so much emotion. Plus I'm a mark for flaming tables. Was the Dreamer/Raven match that Tommy actually won the one that was included on the Rise & Fall of ECW? I used to have that DVD and I remember really enjoying the Dreamer/Raven match that was on it. I'm gonna look it up and watch it right now either way. Any other suggestions? I'm on an ECW kick right now. |

He had some fun matches on new ECW. Look for his extreme rules matches with Johnny Nitro and the Extreme Tag match with him and Colin Delaney vs. Miz and Morrison.
I'm blank right now on good original ECW matches with him. The weapons match with Brian Lee was fun...his matches with Sandman had a lot of emotion as well.

Maybe Tommy Dreamer vs CW Anderson's "I Quit" match from the last real ECW PPV?
I also enjoyed Raven + Tommy Dreamer vs Rhino + Chris Candido from ECW on TNN. (Tammy Sytch's outfit also intensified my enjoyment of that match)

Some great ones listed.
Additionally the Originals vs New Breed Extreme Rules on ECW on SciFi.

Maybe they were afraid it would steal the show or something. I will also add Dreamer vs RVD in 2002 on RAW to unify the IC/Hardcore Titles. One of the best hardcore matches I've seen. |

I have a feeling they didn't because it had the potential to be an utter car crash and be awful. It just came together right on the night.

Tommy Dreamer has had so many crazy matches it's hard for me to say what I think is the best

Dreamer is one of those guys that just puts so much more effort into every match, he REALLY sells it. I love the guy, one of my all time favourites.

The Extreme Rules match he had with Christian.Just because it had a car door and hot dog cart.

Yea, I said the same thing about the Extreme Rules match when it happened. The Wrestlemania match was very disappointing, and the PPV as a whole would've been much better if we had gotten THAT match. I also agree with the Dreamer/RVD match. IIRC it happened the night after Summerslam '02, and I remember thinking if it wasn't for HBK/HHH the night before, it would've been match of the year at that point. |

Holy crap, did Dreamer and Sabu ever have a match in ECW? I spent a while looking on youtube and couldn't find one. There was one listed as being Dreamer vs. Sabu in ECW but it was actually Sabu vs. Sandman where Sabu took out Sandman before the match then brawled with Dreamer, RVD and Taz also got involved.
I saw a Dreamer vs. Sabu match from another indy. It just seems unimaginable that two of ECW's biggest stars never had a notable match.

To be honest I'm not sure they were compatible. Dreamer's matches were often a lot about emotion and/or comedy, whereas Sabu was all intensity and drive.

Of his recent matches, I have to say that my two favorites were probably the one with Christian (again for the car door and the hot dog cart with hot dogs still in it) and the hardcore match with AJ Styles, if only just for how damned well he sold that fork in the eye.

I love Tommy,I'd give his scaffold match with Brian Lee a nod just due to how awesome it was as a whole!.
His 6 man at ONS 06 is also a favorite,as is the match from ONS 05.

Tommy was a lot like The Sandman, only a bit better in the ring. Sandman and Sabu had some very good matches. The Stairway to Hell match is absolutely amazing. I think Tommy and Sabu would've worked well together. Even if they didn't, I find it odd that they weren't thrown together at some point just to see how it'd work. Hell, ECW gave us Mike Awesome vs. New Jack, which seems to be as incompatible as it gets. |

Dreamer,Sandman and Spike vs Buh Buh Ray, D-Von and Big Dick Dudley at heat wave 98 is still one of my favorite dreamer matches.

I never thought about it like that. Most people have mentioned my favorites, but I'd like to include Lawler vs. Dreamer from the second ECW PPV. I don't think Dreamer gets enough credit. I do remember Funk saying, in "Forever Hardcore," that what people forget is that Dreamer is a great worker. |
