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.)
