Joey Styles is in the ring, hyping the show, when Terry Funk emerges from the top of the arena, walks through the crowd, gets in the ring and calls Joey an asshole, taking the mic. Funk cuts a promo on not being invited, “Funk U,” calls Tommy Dreamer a “filthy, steaming pile of shit,” he then gets personal on Dreamer, who eventually comes to the ring. Funk says Dreamer told him he would call in a time of need and has been practicing a “double flip for your fans,” he said he would slap Tommy like he own daughter or wife, throws the microphone at him and leaves in a rage.
