You know I watched most of the show last night, did not catch "Dixies explanation" but most of the wrestling was pretty good
Impact: Tommy Dreamer speaks out
NoDQ.com > Features > Impact: Tommy Dreamer speaks out this is whaty dixie said satjay.....Dixie made the backstage, about to go to commercial, walk... It’s main event…uh…promo time, and here comes Dixie Carter, complete with entrance music. She starts by kissing the fans’ butts by saying TNA has the best fans, and she’s always said this company is going to be for the fans. She’s loved meeting everyone and hearing what they have to say, and puts over her Twitter. There’s been one common theme brought up time after time, and that’s the fans’ love for extreme, hardcore wrestling. At this time, she’d like to introduce some men who made hardcore wrestling popular, and out come Tommy Dreamer, Rhino, Stevie Richards, Mick Foley, and Raven. She says she wants the ECW guys to tell the fans what they meant to this industry. Foley says this is the first time he remembers Dixie cutting a promo, and Dixie says it’s not a promo it’s her being real, and says that what Hogan meant to the 80s, ECW meant to the 90s. She pauses as the crowd starts an ECW chant. Dixie says it’s not about being hardcore, it’s about honor, dedication and respect, and not doing it for fat paychecks, but doing it because they love the business, their fellow wrestlers, and the fans, and they always gave the fans what they asked for and the fans will never forget that. Dixie has a history with four of the guys up here and she has a lot of respect for them and thanks them for setting the bar high. Foley says it should be them thanking her because last time he was here, he got fired, and he wants to thank her for giving them another chance. Foley points out Tommy Dreamer and says he’s as good an ambassador as there’s ever been in this business, and hands the mic off to Tommy. Tommy says he’s watched TNA since the beginning when they were in Nashville, and watched TNA grow. His friends kept telling him to quit his job and come to TNA, but he has a wife and kids and was scared to leave the security of his job. He saw many similarities between ECW and TNA: where unknowns became legends, where legends came to reinvent their career, and before Samoa Joe was dumping people on their heads, there was Taz, the Human Suplex Machine, doing it in the 90s. What Ric Flair did for Jay Lethal, Terry Funk did for him and Mick Foley. There was Francine and Beulah, and he when Dixie invited him to Slammiversary, he got to see what TNA did for passion, for the love of the business, and what they do for each and every one of the fans. Tommy has to thank Dixie for reigniting his passion, because at One Night Stand, he got his closure…and then they brought it back, and he had to witness his friends get fired, get destroyed, and all for what…(silence from the crowd)…Tommy says exactly. It bothered him so much that he had to quit his job at 38 years old because he couldn’t stomach watching what they did with that company. Everyone else in the ring would talk to him, and Foley showed him all the similarities between what happened and they put this plan together, and only one person could make it happen: Dixie Carter. It’s not about an ECW invasion or them taking over, it’s about men and women who lost their jobs, it’s for the fans who chant it and the friends who lived it, so their legacy is not destroyed, and he begs Dixie for one night to show what they can do so their legacy is not destroyed forever. Dixie says that if everyone wants to do this, then we’ll do it…with one stipulation: Tommy and his people plan it and do it the right way, it’s got to be real and nothing that has to do with TNA. Sabu chant starts as Tommy tells the Impact Zone that we’re going EXTREME. He hugged Dixie and the show went off the air...
Twill's Two Cents: Dreamer is still getting teary-eyed about the old ECW and frankly, it still makes for good television. I am officially on board with seeing this for one night. Admittedly, I highly doubt it can match ONS 2005, but it will be cool to see these guys again, if only for a night.
