ECW World Tag Team Champion
Tommy Dreamer & Francine come to the ring and Dreamer cuts a promo on TNN
not wanting to do a TV Taping in Philadelphia, going as far to say that “the
office” said New York fans were better! “Fuck New York” chants break out,
Dreamer says he was born in NY and lives in NY, but made is career in
Philadelphia and says they should have a TV Taping at the ECW Fucking ARENA!
Dreamer says this is not a retirement angle and talks about making his mind up,
only for Steve Corino & Rhyno to come out and interrupt.
Corino cuts a promo on Dreamer risking his
life by attempting to defend his half of the ECW Word Tag Team Titles, but
gives him and option of laying down for Corino to take his Title and allow
Dreamer to go off and rehab his injuries. Dreamer starts to answer, only for
Corino & Rhyno to attack, followed by Corino laying out Francine with a Lariat
and then Jack Victory got into the ring and, with Rhyno, held Dreamer, as
Corino blasted him with a Garbage Can shot over the head! Corino then retrieved
a strand of Barbed Wire and wrapped it around Dreamer’s mid-section, before
setting up for an exposed chair shot to Dreamer’s injured back, just as Raven slid
in the ring.
