House of Hardcore (HOH) is an American wrestling promotion founded by professional wrestler Tommy Dreamer. Its slogan is "No Politics, No BS, Just Wrestling." In its history, HOH has run events in twelve states and three countries.
On June 21, 2012, professional wrestler Tommy Dreamer began promoting House of Hardcore on his Twitter account. In the weeks afterward, HOH would be revealed to be a wrestling school run by Dreamer, Hale Collins and Vik Dalishus based out of the Mid-Hudson Civic Center in Poughkeepsie, New York that would also run an event on October 6, 2012. Dreamer wanted a promotion with the spirit of ECW, a former promotion where Dreamer worked and House of Hardcore being the name of the ECW training school. With the success of the first show, the promotion has continued to run events, though the wrestling school would cease in 2016 after building issues.
In its history, HOH has worked with Family Wrestling Entertainment, Combat Zone Wrestling, Impact Wrestling, Outback Championship Wrestling, Reality of Wrestling, International Wrestling Cartel, MCW Pro Wrestling, Aussie All Pro, National Wrestling Alliance, Ring of Honor, Overdrive Wrestling and Chinlock Wrestling. At the first event, the FWE Heavyweight Championship, held by Dreamer, was defended against Carlito Colon and Mike Knox. On November 9, 2013, the TNA wrestler Bully Ray made his debut in the company to attack Dreamer and to promote the TNA PPV One Night Only: Old School. Also, for the first time, during House of Hardcore III, two Italian wrestlers competed on the show: King Danza and D3. The only roster members to appear on all HOH shows are Dreamer and announcer Vic Travagliante until January 2017 when Travagliante joined WWE.
Following the events of House of Hardcore IV where Bully Ray was pulled from the show by Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, Dreamer representing HOH would join with Bully Ray and Devon in their feud with Dixie Carter, Ethan Carter III and associates. The feud ended on the August 7, 2014 episode of Impact Wrestling when Bully Ray put Dixie through a table. After this feud Dreamer would continue to represent HOH in TNA in matches with Bobby Lashley, Team 3D, Magnus, Bram and Eric Young.
On August 7, 2014, the promotion appeared on the TruTV series Impractical Jokers episode "The Lost Boy." Q's punishment for losing was under the speculation he was joining a musical, dressing as Peter Pan and fighting Dreamer in front of a crowd that hated him for insulting them. The appearance was taped on June 6, 2014 at House of Hardcore IV.
On April 13, 2015, HOH announced it would run its first international show to be held in Toronto, Ontario on July 18. Three days later, House of Hardcore announced a global television deal with Fight Network. Starting on May 12, HOH will televise ten one-hour shows featuring highlights from all the House of Hardcore events to date. House of Hardcore on Fight Network will air on Cablevision’s Optimum TV, Grande Communications, Shentel Cable and Armstrong Cable in the U.S., nationwide in Canada, Roku devices across North America, and globally in over 30 countries across Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
The November 30, 2015 episode of WWE Raw would feature the surprise of Dreamer, in HOH attire, returning to WWE to help The Dudley Boyz and Rhyno against The Wyatt Family. Dreamer's brief time with WWE ended in January 2016 since a longer commitment would have forced HOH to close.
