12/21/18: ECW Hardcore Happening #20

Interview:
Ken Kennedy interview

("Ghost of the Navigator" by Iron Maiden played as Ken Kennedy came to the ring
to boos from the crowd.)

Ken Kennedy: ECW November To Remember is history and so are the ECW careers of
Tommy Dreamer and Cactus Jack. Both men fell victim to the future of extreme!
Dreamer can take his fat ass back to the deli in the Bronx and have another
meatball sub whereas Cactus can go back to mutilating himself to somehow
validate his existence somewhere else. ECW has a new mouthpiece and you're
looking at him!

(The fans booed Kennedy.)

Ken Kennedy: My agenda now is a very simple matter for an athlete of my
caliber: championship gold. I see that Bryan Danielson finally took down Steve
Corino and won himself the ECW World Television Championship for the second
time. Danielson, you like to call yourself "The Best in the World." Well, Mr.
Danielson, Mr. Kennedy is flat out challenging you for your ECW World
Television Championship in front of the entire ECW commune!

("The Final Countdown" by Europe played as ECW World Television Champion Bryan
Danielson came to the ring to cheers from the crowd. Danielson laid the ECW
World Television Championship belt between Kennedy and himself.)

Bryan Danielson: There it is, Kennedy. The thing is, this is as close as you'll
ever come to holding my ECW World Television Championship, because quite
frankly, I'm better than you.

Ken Kennedy: Big words from a little man. Danielson, it's not a wise move to
insult a man like me, because when a man like me gets insulted he tends to
exhibit anger and that anger comes out toward the insulter.

(Necro Butcher hopped the guard rail and assaulted Danielson. Butcher commenced
pummeling Danielson with headbutts and fists. Kennedy picked up the ECW World
Television Championship belt and laid it across the now limp body of
Danielson.)

Ken Kennedy: Danielson, you're the ECW World Television Champion until I decide
it's my title and I just decided that it is my title. Danielson, shine that
thing up nice, because soon it will make its home around my waist!

(Kennedy stomped on Danielson's head and left the ring with Butcher to boos
from the crowd.)

Interview:
MVP interview

("Thug Mansion" by Tupac played as Montel Vontavious Porter and his agent
Theodore Long came to the ring to boos from the crowd.)

Theodore Long: Let me holla' at ya playa! Montel Vontavious Porter has rid ECW
of all the dead weight and like I said before, he ain't just wrestling anybody.
He's only gonna wrestle best of the rest and so far, the offers haven't been
good enough for "The Franchise Player." MVP doesn't need to be here in ECW. He
has chosen to be here because he wants to be here. If all those honkys in the
back don't have respect for "The Extreme Show," then MVP will pack up and go
elsewhere and watch ECW crumble as he exits.

("The Time is Now" by John Cena played as John Cena came to the ring to cheers
from the crowd.)

Theodore Long: Cena, MVP didn't invite you out here and this ain't your place,
playa. What do you think you're doing out here in MVP's ring?

John Cena: Montel, I thought you had a daytime talk show, what are you doing
inside an ECW ring?

(MVP threw his hands in the air in anger and had to be restrained by Long.)
Theodore Long: Cena, you're out here in MVP's ring and you insult the man that
runs this joint. We'll ask you again, what do you think you're doing out here?

John Cena: Teddy, I'm out here to offer MVP a match against the real MVP of
ECW, the ass kickin', checking cashin', chain gang soldier, yours truly, John
Cena!

Montel Vontavious Porter: Cena, why you come out here and insult me like that?
That's not called for me. You don't see me knockin' you and runnin' ya down.
You ain't got no etiquette, you damn whigger.

John Cena: MVP, you ignorant, ingenious, illiterate, incredible asshole, you
want to play up to me and throw digs at me, bring it, I'm standing right in
front of you.

(MVP squared off with Cena.)

Montel Vontavious Porter: Cena, know why'd you have to go and do that, because
now I gotta kick your ass in front of everyone and that ain't gonna be too good
for ya.

(MVP and Cena jawed with one another face to face. Cena began throwing fists
MVP's way and rocked him backwards. Cena whipped MVP off the ropes and caught
him with a flying shoulder block. MVP slid out of the ring and was escorted
backstage by Long. Cena saluted the crowd as MVP and Long collected themselves
on their way backstage.)

12/7/18: ECW Hardcore Happening #19

Interview:
CM Punk interview

("Miseria Cantare - The Beginning" by AFI played as ECW World Heavyweight
Champion CM Punk came to the ring to boos from the crowd.)

CM Punk: I stand here before the fans of ECW as THE Heavyweight Champion of the
World! I'm sure nobody expected me to walk out of November To Remember
retaining my title, but I did. Taz was pinned and sent packing. I stand alone,
now that Raven is gone and his Nest no longer exists. I am the flame that burns
inside ECW and I am the man who will lead this company. The old guard is gone
and it it's place will live CM Punk!

(Punk made an X with his arms to boos from the crowd. "The Champ is Here" by
Jadakiss played as Samoa Joe came to the ring to cheers from the crowd.)

Samoa Joe: Punk, it's funny how after eight months we end up standing face to
face again. Punk, we have unfinished business and that business is strapped
around your waist. There's only me and you in the ring now and it's about time
I got what is mine.

(Don Callis returned to ECW and entered the ring with a microphone.)

Don Callis: Gentlemen, gentlemen. Let's calm down and understand that nothing
here belongs to either one of you. I have returned to ECW and I intend upon
making an impact.

Samoa Joe: Callis, what the fuck do you think you're doing out here?

Don Callis: Samoa Joe, what I'm doing out here is changing the landscape of ECW
for you, CM Punk and everybody in the back.

CM Punk: Callis, it doesn't happen often, but in this case, I think Samoa Joe
will agree with me when I say, get out of the ring before you get hurt.

Don Callis: Mr. Champion, I am in no danger and I assure you, I will not be the
one who's going to be getting hurt.

(Punk grabbed Callis by the collar as Takeshi Morishima hit the ring. Morishima
executed a Backdrop Driver on Joe and proceeded to lay Punk out with a Yakuza
Kick. Naomichi Marufuji and KENTA came to the ring and stood by the side of
Morishima.)

Don Callis: CM Punk, Samoa Joe, you two never had a chance. Kamikaze is a
Japanese word, usually translated as divine wind, believed to be a gift from
the gods. The term is first known to have been used as the name of a pair or
series of typhoons that are said to have saved Japan. And that is very similar
to what has taken place right now. My trio of Kamikazes are indeed a gift from the Gods here like a group of raging typhoons sent to save ECW from the likes
of CM Punk and Samoa Joe. Takeshi Morishima! Naomichi Marufuji! KENTA! Kamikaze
is in ECW and Kamikaze is going to make sure ECW is saved!

("Attack on the Shuttle" by Vince DiCola played as Callis led his Kamikaze
stable out of the ring to boos from the crowd.)

Interview:
Briscoe Brothers interview

("Gimme Back My Bullets" by Lynyrd Skynyrd played as ECW World Tag Team
Champions The Briscoe Brothers: Jay & Mark Briscoe came to the ring to cheers
from the crowd.)

Jay Briscoe: Yeah, we're new to ECW, but now it's all about us! For all those
wannabes out there, you best realize that we ain't just going dance around with
ya, we're going put in the ground!

(Jay & Mark played to the crowd.)

Mark Briscoe: You heard my bro! Y'all step in the ring with us; you're gettin'
your ass kicked courtesy of some Delaware ass kickers!

("Attack on the Shuttle" by Vince DiCola played as Don Callis led Kamikaze
stable members Naomichi Marufuji and KENTA to the ring to a throng of boos from
the crowd.)

Don Callis: You two boys are so damn hard to understand, I don't know if you
laid down a challenge or your told me you suck! If you two fellas want a fight
inside ECW, well, I can help you out! Standing next to me is the new wave of
ECW and it's prepared to knock your damn heads off!

(Marufuji and KENTA squared off with The Briscoe Brothers as "2Extreme" by Zack Tempest played and The Hardy Boyz: Jeff & Matt Hardy debuted in ECW to huge
cheers from the crowd.)

Matt Hardy: Guys, we just got here in ECW and I'm not one to start a fight for
no reason, but if we're talking tag team gold and the best team on the planet,
we're talking The Hardy Boyz.

Jeff Hardy: My brother is right. I can't take nothing away from The Briscoe
Brothers or Naomichi Marufuji & KENTA, but not a team on this planet can take a
thing away from us!

(The Hardy Boyz commenced trading fists with Marufuji and KENTA and The Briscoe
Brothers. Jeff Hardy whipped Jay Briscoe off the ropes and back body dropped
him to the mat where Matt Hardy instantanesley hit a springboard legdrop on Jay
Briscoe while Naomichi Marufuji caught Mark Briscoe with a superkick into the
Go To Sleep from KENTA. Jeff and Matt executed stereo dropkicks on Marufuji and
KENTA, sending them over the top rope to the ringside floor. Matt got on his
hands and knees as Jeff springboarded off his brother's back onto Marufuji,
only to be caught in mid-air and laid out with a spinning powerbomb. Matt Hardy
executed a springboard dive from the top rope to the ringside floor, catching
Marufuji and KENTA in the process, sending both men and a total of all three
teams total down to the ground as the fans rose from their seats and cheered for their respective teams.)

11/16/18: ECW Hardcore Happening #18

Interview:
MVP interview

("Thug Mansion" by Tupac played as Montel Vontavious Porter came to the ring
with his agent, Theodore Long to boos from the crowd.)

Theodore Long: Let me holla at ya playa! Montel Vontavious Porter now holds
claims to pinfall victories over three ECW legends. Sabu, Tommy Dreamer and
most recently, Rob Van Dam. I know ya feel that and I know ya feel me. The
problem that MVP reaches now is that he has little to no competition and
refuses to simply go out and wrestle just anybody. MVP is "Mr. Prime Time," and
Mr. Prime Time don't wrestle just anybody. Matter of fact, unless MVP is
presented with a man in ECW who has something for him, he isn't wrestling
anybody. MVP doesn't need to be here, he chooses to be here. If the offers
aren't good enough, MVP will take himself elsewhere and he'll get what we
wants. Now, MVP is looking for an opponent for November To Remember. Now,
somebody who actually matters, get your ass out here and state your case to
"The Franchise Player."

("Walk" by Pantera played as Rob Van Dam came to the ring to cheers from the
crowd.)

Theodore Long: Hold up, hold up. Van Dam, MVP has already kicked your honky ass
and has nothing left to prove to you. You are not good enough to wrestle MVP
and that was proven at Ultimate Jeopardy.

Rob Van Dam: Teddy Long, shut your mouth before I shove MVP's head up your ass.

(MVP approached RVD as Long held MVP back.)

Theodore Long: Van Dam, it ain't right comin' down here and acting like your
some kind of special attraction. You ain't nothing and you'll never be nothing.
Get to steppin'!

(RVD shoved Long as MVP squared off with RVD. MVP jawed and taunted RVD and
proceeded to slap him across the face. RVD locked up with MVP and threw him off
the ropes, connecting with a spinning side kick as MVP came back at him. Long
pulled MVP out of the ring and led him backstage as RVD played to the crowd by
pointing to himself with his thumbs.)

("Miseria Cantare - The Beginning" by AFI played as ECW World Heavyweight
Champion CM Punk came to the ring to boos from the crowd.)

CM Punk: Raven and his Nest are not required as I state my piece here. As a
matter of fact, I don't require any assistance from Raven and his Nest during
any matches of mine, as I am the better of all that wrestle inside ECW. Right
now, I'm out here to issue a challenge to one, Taz. Yeah, that's right, Taz,
you heard me correct. You see, I kicked your ass at Anarchy Rulz and I kicked
your ass at Ultimate Jeopardy. You're anger, hostility and never-ending
challenges will come to an end at November To Remember. Taz, I don't need to
wait for you as I am the champion. I don't need to accept a challenge made by
you. I'm issuing my own challenge and placing my ECW World Heavyweight
Championship on the line against you at ECW November To Remember.

(Punk made an X with his arms as "War Machine" by KISS played and Taz came to
the ring to cheers from the crowd.)

Taz: Punk, you think you're the fucking the man, don't you? Well, Punk, you
just signed your own fucking death wish. You want to challenge me? You got it!
November To Remember, I'm going to wrap my forearms around your fucking neck
and choke you the fuck out! You're not a big shot until I let you be a big
shot, you stupid motherfucker!

Punk smirked with arrogance.)

("Come Out and Play" by The Offspring played as Raven and Nest members Umaga,
Christopher Daniels and Scotty Anton came to the ring to boos from the crowd.)

Raven: November, a month of a triumph or failure inside ECW. November, a month
where you either change or stay the same. November, the month to remember. This
November is no different than ever. It's a simple a matter of the strong
surviving and the weak being destroyed. It's a time for those who want to step
out of the shadow of someone else to rise up and take it all. November will be
a month to remember, because this November To Remember is Samoa Joe being
tossed aside like a rake full of autumn leaves by yours truly. November To
Remember: Raven vs. Samoa Joe.

(The fans cheered the announcement.)

Raven: Samoa Joe has grown a great deal from when he first started out in ECW.
Samoa Joe has become a stronger, more focused and more calculating individual.
It's a shame that I have to destroy a man willing to change, while the rest who
resist will live on after him. Samoa Joe, it's a simple matter of nature,
nothing more, nothing less. I can't help it if the strong survive and the weak
falter. Samoa Joe, your November will truly be worth remembering as I finish
this story I have been writing and your fate comes to pass. Quote the
Raven...nevermore.

(Raven led his Nest out of the ring to boos from the crowd.)

Theodore Long came to the ring to boos from the crowd.)

Theodore Long: Let me fell all of you for a minute. MVP wants to know how
everybody is feeling tonight.

(The fans booed MVP and Long.)

Theodore Long: Looks like we've got our answer and I suspect that reaction is
based on the fact that MVP has rid ECW of one of its heroes; that being Sabu.
That's no big surprise, I mean, Sabu was a member of ECW for longer than I can
even recall, but Sabu was never the franchise player that MVP is. Not to
mention, Sabu's choice of a tag team partner leaves a lot to be desired, playa.
Rob Van Dam is the worst you can get when we're discussing franchise players.
RVD and his little kicks and flips, don't impress MVP and they never have. RVD
isn't Mr. Primetime. RVD isn't the Franchise Player and RVD isn't the Ballin'
Superstar; Montel Vontavious Porter is.

(MVP mocked a homerun swing and stood staring into the sky, tracking the flight
of his swing.)

Theodore Long: I know you all feel me and I know you all feel the MVP, because
MVP is the real fucking show, not some fake, honky like Rob Van Dam.

(MVP and Long left the ring to boos from the crowd.)

Interview:
Raven's Nest interview

("Come Out and Play" by The Offspring played as Raven's Nest: ECW World
Heavyweight Champion CM Punk, Raven, Christopher Daniels, Scotty Anton and
Umaga came to the ring to boos from the crowd. Raven slumped into the corner
and was handed a microphone by Anton.)

Raven: When a man losses his effectiveness to complete a task, he is useless to
me and my plans. Abyss lacked the explosive, destructive nature that exists
inside Umaga and thus, my Nest now houses the only Samoan I'd trust inside a
wrestling ring. Samoa Joe is the obvious seg-way and thus we shall discuss
Samoa Joe. Joe, I'll give you credit; you've come a long way from when you
started out in ECW. All of a sudden, you've begun using your brain and actually
listening to my warnings. In ECW, you must be prepared for anything that may
arise and since you've enlisted the help of John Cena and Frankie Kazarian,
you're prepared to at least put up a fight. All of this means our lesson is
coming to an end; Samoa Joe, I can only teach you for so long before you're
going to have to go your own way. Joe, another chapter has concluded and your
story is coming to pass. Quote the Raven...nevermore.

(Raven led his Nest out of the ring.)

Interview:
Ken Kennedy and The Necro Butcher interview

("Ghost of the Navigator" by Iron Maiden as Ken Kennedy and Necro Butcher came
to the ring to boos from the crowd.)

Ken Kennedy: Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to formally introduce to all of
you, the most violent, sadistic and deadly force ever to step bare-foot into
ECW. He's not Cactus Jack. He's not Terry Funk. He's not even Sabu. He is much
more than any of those men could ever be. He is THE NECRO BUTCHER!

(Butcher looked out amongst the crowd and attempted to go after fans that were
booing him, but was restrained by Kennedy.)

Ken Kennedy: It's funny that after being beaten down and embarrassed by Cactus
Jack, Tommy Dreamer now calls Cactus Jack his partner. It's amazing how quickly
people forgive and forget, but not me! I think it's fitting that two assholes
like Dreamer and Foley are now joined together as a unit to try and put up a
fight against yours truly and the Necro Butcher. You see, Cactus, Dreamer, you
two are the old and we are the young. You are the battered and we are the
strong. You are the weary and we are coming of age. ECW doesn't belong to
Cactus Jack. ECW doesn't belong to Tommy Dreamer. ECW belongs to
MISTERRRRRR...KENNNEEEDDDYYY! KENNEDY!

(Kennedy and Butcher left the ring to boos from the crowd.)

ECW Anarchy Rulz
September 30, 2018
Event #32
-During the Ken Kennedy vs. Cactus Jack match, Kennedy and Cactus fought in and
around the ring up and through the stands. While in the stands, Cactus whipped
Kennedy back over the guard rail. As Cactus began to climb over the guard rail,
he was attacked by the debuting Necro Butcher. Butcher proceeded to bludgeon
and batter Cactus as Kennedy got to his feet. Butcher broke Cactus' nose and
proceeded to kick him in the face. Butcher smashed Cactus' head off the guard
rail multiple times and then tossed him over to Kennedy. Kennedy rolled Cactus
into the ring and executed the trademark Cactus Elbow onto the bloodied Cactus
Jack for the victory. Butcher made his way over the guard rail, knocking down
fans in the process. Butcher commenced pounding away on Cactus Jack as Tommy
Dreamer hit the ring. Dreamer pulled Butcher off of Cactus, but was met with a
low blow from Kennedy. Kennedy broke a steel chair over the head of Dreamer as
Butcher executed a somersault splash onto Dreamer. Kennedy led Butcher out of
the ring and backstage as Cactus Jack and Tommy Dreamer laid on the mat.
-During the Raven's Nest (Raven, Christopher Daniels and Scotty Anton) vs.
Samoa Joe, John Cena and Frankie Kazarian match, Raven's Nest member Abyss
stood in the corner of Raven, Daniels and Anton. As the match progressed, Raven
worked over Cena in his team's side of the ring. Raven brought Cena to his feet
and attempted a bulldog, but Cena held Raven in the air and threw him into
Daniels and Anton, sending both men to the ringside floor. Cena made the tag to
Joe, who entered the ring as the returning Umaga hopped the guard rail and
instantly laid out Joe with a running lariat. Umaga sidekicked Kazarian off the
ring apron into the guard rail and proceeded to execute the Samoan Spike on
Joe. Raven got to his feet and covered Joe for the pinfall victory. Daniels,
Anton and Abyss entered the ring and stood with Raven and Umaga as Raven
glanced at Umaga. Umaga immediately assaulted Abyss with forearms and kicks.
Umaga executed the Samoa Spike to Abyss and tossed him out of the ring. Raven
and his Nest left the ring.
-Following the event, The Sandman, The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray & D-Von Dudley), Sabu and Abyss left ECW.

Theodore Long: This man isn't another one of your heroes; he's much more than
that. He is Mr. Prime Time. He is the Ballin' Superstar. He is The Franchise
Player. He is M-V-P! (MVP pointed to himself with his thumbs as Long said each
letter).

Theodore Long: MVP is putting everybody on notice and he expects that all of

Kazarian came to the ring to cheers from the crowd.)

Samoa Joe: "In ECW, you need to be prepared for anything that may take place."
These are the words spoken by that asshole Raven. Well, Raven, how do you like
me now?

(Joe, Cena and Kazarian played to the crowd.)

Samoa Joe: Not only am I not running solo anymore, I'm running with two men who
aren't flunkies of mine, but friends. Raven, your Nest won't mean a damn thing
as far as protecting you anymore. John Cena and Frankie Kazarian will gladly
kick the ass of any member of your little troop, not to mention your's. Raven,
you claim my story is being written...I'd recommend you get the latest edit and
understand that your story of me has been thrown away, while I write my own
story of a punk asshole getting his ass kicked by a big Samoan ass-kicker;
quote the Samoan Submission Machine...you piece of shit.

Cactus Jack: Kennedy, my young lad, you are truly on your way to the top of
ECW. Together, we have beaten down and broken Tommy Dreamer. Together, we have
turned your attitude to make it ooze extreme. Together, we are becoming quite
the combination.

(Kennedy blindsided Cactus and began stomping on his face. Kennedy got a steel
chair from ringside and commenced pummeling Cactus Jack with it. Kennedy threw
the chair down, spit on Cactus and kicked him out of the ring.)

Ken Kennedy: The student finally rises past the teacher. Cactus Jack, this
association between us is finished and so are you. You are no longer necessary.
Cactus, you may have done some amazing things in the past, but that was many
moons ago. ECW is now my outlet to far and away surpass any accomplishment you
could have ever come up with. The day of Kennedy is upon ECW and whether it's
Cactus Jack, Tommy Dreamer or even CM Punk, you all must understand that it's
not about any of you; it's about MISTERRRRRRR KENNNNNEEEDDYY...KENNEDY!

(Kennedy left the ring, kicking Cactus Jack in the face prior to leaving as the
crowd booed him.)

("Fire" by Scooter played as the Extreme Horsemen: ECW World Television
Champion Steve Corino, Rhino, Jerry Lynn, C.W. Anderson and Jack Victory came
to the ring to boos from the crowd.)

Steve Corino: Those boos you hiss should be cheers of fans of an organization
as we stand up for ECW against the PWF. Jim Cornette, the Extreme Horsemen
accept the PWF's invitation for WarGames. We will be seeing you as you watch
from the outside of the steel cage. You will be witness to the Extreme Horsemen
and more so, ECW's destruction of your company and your best. ECW will not be
intimidated and will not be denied. Cornette, we are the men who are going to
tear your company down and plant our flag in the debris. Cornette, it doesn't
matter if you get Bret Hart to join your team at WarGames. It doesn't matter
that you've got Chris Hero, Brent Albright and Mike Quackenbush. Inside a
locked steel cage, we are the law and what we say goes. What's going to be more
distressing for you, Jim, than anything else is that ECW is going to march into
a PWF event and walk out as the victors. Getting bitch slapped during your own
show is going to be just what the doctor ordered for an asshole like you.

(The Extreme Horsemen left the ring.)

against the guard rail. Raven's Nest members Scotty Anton and Abyss came to
ringside. Abyss held Joe while Anton slapped and punched Joe in the face.
The debuting John Cena and Frankie Kazarian hopped the guard rail and pulled
Anton and Abyss off of Joe. Cena and Kazarian beat down Anton and Abyss around
ringside as Daniels tossed Joe back into the ring. Daniels executed an STO on
Joe and went for the Best Moonsault Ever. Joe quickly got to his feet and
caught Daniels in the air. Joe executed the Island Driver on Daniels and
covered him for the victory. Cena and Kazarian climbed into the ring and
celebrated with Joe as Anton pulled Daniels out of the ring and left the
ringside area with Abyss.

-During the Raven's Nest (Raven & CM Punk) vs. The Sandman and Taz match, The
Sandman and Taz once again refused to cooperate and work as a team. The
Sandman got his Singapore cane from ringside and began smashing Taz over the
head. Taz staggered and then regained his balance and executed the Capture
Tazplex on The Sandman. Taz slid out of the ring and stood at ringside as Punk
executed the Shining Wizard on The Sandman. Punk covered The Sandman for the
victory as Taz slid back into the ring and applied the Tazmission to Punk.
Raven began throwing fists at Taz from behind. Taz executed a suplex on Punk
with the Tazmission applied and went after Raven. Taz executed a running big
boot on Raven and sent him out of the ring. Taz picked up Punk's ECW World
Heavyweight Championship belt and held it in the air to cheers from the crowd.

Tommy Dreamer interview

(Backstage, Tommy Dreamer stood at the interview area with Joey Styles.)

Tommy Dreamer: Joey, Cactus Jack and Ken Kennedy seem to feel they can beat me
down together time and time again before I fight back. That seems to be the
reigning theory amongst everybody who has ever stepped into ECW; The Sandman,
Raven, The Impact Players, the list goes on. Cactus, Kennedy, I went to the
boss man himself and I got us all booked in a match for ECW WrestlePalooza.
It's going to Cactus Jack returning to the ring in a tag team match with Ken
Kennedy against Tommy Dreamer and Yoshihiro Tajiri. Paul E., as usual had no
idea who was booked and in what match, so slotted me with Tajiri. For me, he's
simply a tag team partner for one match. I checked with Tajiri and he's got no
plans for the show and figures, why not beat the shit out of two guys who don't
seem to understand that this isn't their company. Kennedy, you want to make a
difference, go out and prove yourself, don't hide behind Mick Foley and his
bullshit.

(Dreamer left the area.)
