As he spiraled into depression, Dreamer intended to take advantage of Texas’ lax gun laws to jump the rail at that WrestleMania in Houston, kill Heyman, who was announcing the show, and then kill himself.

“I remember I did a show there, and I saw a sign that said, ‘Guns Welcome,’ and I was in Houston,” Dreamer said, according to Uproxx. “I did an indie show, and I said, ‘What is this?’ I’m from New York, what do you mean, ‘Guns Welcome’? And they said, ‘Oh, you are allowed to bring a firearm into the venue.’ I was across the street from the Astrodome. When I tell you it resonated in my head so, so much.

“That I’ll tell you what I wanted to do. It’s sick that I think this. At WrestleMania, I was gonna hop the rail and I was gonna whack Paul E. in the back of the head right at the announce table, then I was gonna whack myself. The ultimate martyr, I was gonna hit my pose crack, boom, pull the trigger. Because I was that insane. Don’t know if I would have went through with it, but that’s what I was thinking about every day. I was like, ‘I will go down in history.’ Pop, boom. First they’d think it was an angle until I shot him. I was so severely depressed and so mental with rage, I needed help.”

Oh yeah, I totally forgot until now that Heyman owed so many of his wrestlers a bunch of money back then when ECW went under. I bet Dreamer wasn’t the only one who thought of murdering him.

But I’m glad Dreamer was able to have a change of heart and get his life together long enough so he could finally achieve his dream of eating gross things on WWE television.

I've got another Dreamer wanting to get shot story.

In around 95, Dreamer wanted a sniper to shoot him in the leg in the ECW Arena. Terry Funk had to talk Dreamer out of it by making up some b.s story about his dad running an angle like it but it killed the town.

Yes he was insane. The podcast story really grabed me me. So glad it was just in his head.

This was when the Fiend was possessing Tommy.
