The Sandman: "Did somebody say that eHw was headed for a Nightmare?! Cause I look around this arena, I look around this ring, and the only thing I see is dreams coming true. I'm in an arena, in a city full of sick ass mother fucking eHw fans. . ."

**The Sandman is interrupted by the cheers of the crowd. He lets them yell out for a few seconds, then signals for them to quite down as he continues to speak.**

The Sandman: "We're surrounded by hardcore eHw fans in this arena, and in this ring I am for the second time in my career one half of the eHw World Tag Team Champions. This time I'm not partner up with my two faced piece of shit cowardly rival Bret Hart. This time I am teaming with the complete opposite. This time I'm teamed up with the all go, all pride, one hundred percent tough, honest mother fucker, the Innovator of Violence, and my best friend in this business, Tommy Dreamer!"

**Sandman hands the microphone over to Dreamer while the crowd pops huge at the mention of Dreamer's name. Dreamer goes to speak but a "DREAMER! DREAMER! DREAMER!" chant begins throughout the arena and Dreamer gets choked up and is unable to speak for a few seconds as he listens to the fans chant his name. Dreamer lets the chant die down, then starts talking.**

Tommy Dreamer: "Thank you, thank you all very much. And I think it's safe to say, that we are in EHW COUNTRY!!!"

**The crowd again pops huge and goes into a rabid "EHW!!EHW!!EHW!!" chant. Dreamer and Sandman both chuckle in the ring and egg the crowd on in the chants for over a full minute. Then as the chant dies down Dreamer starts talking again.**

Tommy Dreamer: "This isn't my first time around here in eHw as many of you know. I have been here before, I've gone to the dance, I've seen how the strings are pulled. I've collected my share of title reigns, and lost my share of blood for this company. But like John Kerry would say, 'our best days are still ahead of us.' Because as long as The Hardcore Icon and the Innovator of Violence are here together, you know that we are going to make sure eHw stays at the level it is known for being at, and then some. We are going to raise hell, and we are going to raise the bar. No no Jim, not the local tavern. We are going to raise the expectation and achievement bar. Because this isn't a dog and pony show that we are runnin here in eHw. This is the real deal, this is where the boys come to become men, and where some men find out that they are only boys. The top tier wrestlers in this company, are the best in the world. And if you don't believe me, well just look at their resumes. They speak for themselves. As for mine, well I'm a former eHw Deathmatch, Intercontinental, and current eHw Tag Team Champion. Not to mention of Tag Team and World Title reigns in ECW. I take a look around eHw and I see that this company now, just like it did before, just like ECW always had, is that renegade style that produces the best wrestling, and most hard fought matches the world has ever seen. And the Innovators of Hardcore, your reigning World Tag Team Champions are gonna keep it that way. Because things do change, faces and people come and go. But the desire to be the best doesn't. The Sandman and myself both wanna be the best and both wanna make eHw the best wrestling federation on the planet. There have been times when eHw has proven exactly that, and times when eHw has shown anything but that. But as of now, because the Innovators of Hardcore say so, eHw is staying at the top level. We are going to be in the faces of everyone in the locker room, we are going to be throwing people in that ring and making them give it there all. We are going to make people step to us to prove if they are ready for the big time. What is the big time? The big time would be when you hold a title like myself and The Sandman do. The big time is when you are an eHw Champion. Because not just anyone can hold a title in eHw. Scott Steiner has held the Intercontinental Title for five and a half months. The Sandman and Al Snow have held the World Title for three out of the last five months. The Extreme Task Force held these belts for two months before we beat them. This is not the place to be if you want a fluke title reign, here you have to work for your meal. And that is exactly what we are going to do to Billy Kidman and Paul London."

**The Sandman walks over to the ropes and yells at the ring announcer to hand him his own microphone. The ring announce ablidges and The Sandman cuts in.**

The Sandman: "Billy Kidman and Paul who? I thought we were taking on Canada's Finest."

Tommy Dreamer: "Jim, you gotta lay off the booze during the morning meetings man. Canada's Finest is gone, The Rabid Lifers are disbanded, and Kidman, Paul London, and Chris Jericho are taking their places on the roster."

The Sandman: "They are."

Tommy Dreamer: "Yeah, they are."

The Sandman: "And you’re sure about this."

Tommy Dreamer: "One hundred percent sure, you can check the roster."

The Sandman: "When the fuck did this happen?."

Tommy Dreamer: "Over the weekend Jim, a lot of shufflings and happenings go on in the day to day operations of a company like eHw."

The Sandman: "Damn you've only been here a couple weeks and you already know more about what's going on in this company than I do."

Tommy Dreamer: "Well I'll gladly trade in my knowledge of the day to day operations for your title history any day of the week Mister King of the Extreme."

The Sandman: "Too true, so would a few other guys around here. But I do have another question for you."

Tommy Dreamer: "Yeah what is it?"

The Sandman: "Who the fuck is Paul London?!"

Tommy Dreamer: "I can't believe you don't know who Paul London is."

**The Sandman walks over to the near side of the ring facing the camera and looks out into the crowd.**

The Sandman: "Do any of you out there have the slightest clue about who the fuck Paul London is?"

**Complete silence consumes the arena and crickets can be heard in the background as The Sandman gives Dreamer a 'Told You So' look. A guilty smile comes over Dreamer's face.**

Tommy Dreamer: "Okay okay, so the kid is sort of an unknown. But he has done some things in this business I can tell you that much."

The Sandman: "Like what?"

Tommy Dreamer: "Well. . . uh. . .he. . .uh. . .he worked for Ring of Honor."

The Sandman: "Ring of what?"

Tommy Dreamer: "Ring of Honor. You know, that promotion that was founded by a man who was busted trying to by child pornography."

The Sandman: "Oh yeah, I thought I remembered hearing about that company some how. Was he world champion of that Indy fed or something?"

Tommy Dreamer: "No."

The Sandman: "Did he hold any titles there at all?"

Tommy Dreamer: "No."

The Sandman: "Has he wrestled anywhere else?"

Tommy Dreamer: "NWA TNA, Jarrett's promotion. He wrestled for them for almost six months. He was a top contender for the X Division title multiple times. In fact he challenged guys like Kid Kash, AJ Styles, and Jerry Lynn for the title."

The Sandman: "Okay, there ya go. I may have seen him there once or twice while I was busy winning the Hard Ten Tournament. How many times did he hold the X Division Title?"

Tommy Dreamer: "None."

The Sandman: "Okay. . . . Well has he done anything worth a droplet of shit in his career?"

Tommy Dreamer: "Yeah, him and Kidman are former WWE Tag Team Champions."

The Sandman: "Well why didn't you just say that in the first place. That is a major accomplishment. Winning a title in the WWE takes some work and a lot of ass kissing. I can respect the kid for that. Who'd they beat to win the titles?"

Tommy Dreamer: "The Dudley Boyz."

The Sandman: "The Dudleys? The most accomplished tag team of all time. These two kids have beaten the greatest tag team of all time for the WWE Tag Team Titles and you didn't think to mention that to me in the first place? C'mon Tommy we don't have all the time in the world out here."

Tommy Dreamer: "Well you asked me what Paul London has done individually. And individually he has done anything worth a damn in his career up until this point. He won one or two big time matches in a fed that drew two hundred people a show if they were lucky, he was the X Division jobber for six months, was the WWE Cruiserweight jobber for almost a year, and then road Billy Kidman's coattails to a tag title run and has continued to ride them into this company."

The Sandman: "Oh, okay, so we aren't going to have any problems with these two. We'll just walk right through them."

Tommy Dreamer: "Well they both know how to hit the Shooting Star Press really well."

**The Sandman coughs a couple of times, then wipes his nose.**

The Sandman: "Well talking about their careers has made this interview segment and my mouth feel really dry. Why don't you call Beulah, have her meet us at the bar down the street, and lets go paint this town red until Turmoil tomorrow night?!"

Tommy Dreamer: "Sounds like a plan to me. Kidman and London, get ready to get in the ring with the measuring stick of the tag division, and the measuring sticks of competition in eHw. Because tomorrow night, at Turmoil, you will learn what being in eHw, and what getting in the rings with the true Innovators of Hardcore is all about."

The Sandman: "AND YOU TWO BOYS CAN TAKE THAT TO THE BAR!!!!"

**"Man in a Box" by Alice Chains starts playing again and the crowd begins loudly cheering. The Sandman and Tommy Dreamer pay homage to the crowd as The Sandman holds up his Singapore Cain and Dreamer makes a crucifix pose with his arms and yells out to the audience. Dreamer and Sandman get out of the ring and head to the back high fiving all the fans along the entryway aisle.**
