09:05That was very nice.

37:23Terry's older brother, Dory Funk Jr., showed up at ringside to run off Francine.
37:31And then it took five consecutive belly-to-belly suplexes by the franchise Shane Douglas
37:40to pin the hardcore legend and once again crown the franchise Shane Douglas
37:48as the ECW World Heavyweight Champion.
38:01His name is Scott Charles Bam Bam Bigelow.
38:08Six foot three, 360 pounds, a member of the Triple Threat
38:16and known the world over as the Beast from the East.
38:22And last week on Extreme Championship Wrestling,
38:27he took Spike Dudley apart piece by piece
38:31as he demonstrated his awesome power
38:35only to let his guard down for one short moment.
38:41And it was in that moment that Spike Dudley capitalized on Bigelow's mistake
38:48and scored a shocking upset pinfall.
38:58We had heard reports that Bam Bam Bigelow watched that match over and over and over again
39:04in preparation for Hardcore Heaven 97 live on pay-per-view.
39:08And when the Beast from the East made it to Fort Lauderdale,
39:11Spike Dudley paid the price.
39:15Bam Bam Bigelow showed up at Hardcore Heaven 97
39:19to show the world that Spike Dudley's victory was a fluke.
39:23He tossed around Spike Dudley like a rag doll,
39:26even throwing him out into the crowd.
39:28And finally, put a period on his statement
39:33with a moonsault from the top
39:35and then mercifully pinned Spike Dudley.
39:44Hardcore Heaven 97 will be remembered for many things,
39:47but for me, it will always be the night
39:49that Extreme Championship Wrestling took on the World Wrestling Federation.
39:53For weeks, Jerry the King Lawler on the USA Network
39:59ran down ECW, calling us extremely crappy wrestling,
40:03challenging the entire organization, belittling us.
40:08And then he had the audacity to show up at our house,
40:11the ECW arena, and attack the innovator of violence, Tommy Dreamer.
40:15Going into Hardcore Heaven 97, Tommy Dreamer was carrying the flag
40:20for Extreme Championship Wrestling.
40:23The clown prince of the WWF, Jerry the King Lawler,
40:27continued to taunt Dreamer and run down everyone involved with ECW.
40:33Well, this past Saturday night in Fort Lauderdale, Florida,
40:37live on pay-per-view,
40:40it was time for Tommy Dreamer to shut the king up.
40:43The camion's busted open and big trouble early on in this matchup.
40:50Tommy shoulder blocked over the corner.
40:54Referee Jim Rollin' who got sandwiched in there.
40:57The tables are turning on the king.
41:00Again with the lights.
41:02He's got no lights.
41:08Rick through.
41:09We know who's been greasing the palms of Rick through, don't we?
41:15To all the suits over the tank town.
41:17Oh, it goes from the cover.
41:18This may be all two in.
41:21No!
41:26Idle driver coming up on the king.
41:30Now what?
41:34That's Jake the Snake Robert.
41:36Jake the Snake Robert just DDT Tommy Dreamer in the center of the ring.
42:00And the king is picking his shots.
42:21Tommy counters the slam.
42:24Go for DDT.
42:25And once again,
42:34that's Sonny.
42:37She just sprayed Tommy in the eyes with hairspray.
42:43No one's got Sonny.
42:47Can I play?
42:47Can I play?
42:51Tommy's got the disticular claw locked up.
42:53No one's got anything.
42:56Cover hooks the leg.
42:59He got him.
43:02So despite outside interference from Rick Rude,
43:06Jake the Snake Robert,
43:07and Sonny,
43:09Tommy Dreamer down Jerry the King Lawler,
43:12putting an end to the longest and hottest summer of his career.
43:16Tommy Dreamer down Jerry the King Lawler.
43:28Tommy Dreamer down Jerry the King Lawler.
43:33Tommy Dreamer down Jerry the King Lawler.
43:35His dream has come true.
43:37It's the greatest night of his life.
43:39Tommy Dreamer has beaten Raymond.
43:42He's got a pull the heads of a pair of flyers.
44:08Oh, my God.
44:09What do you say, Louie?
44:11Kids, don't try this at home.
44:12What do you say, Louie?
44:14He's on his way.
44:15What do you say?
44:18Louie gave it up, and Lola's going to get his right now.
44:37We're going to king the king.
44:39That's Jim Cornette!
44:47DDT!
44:57Wait a minute!
45:03Oh, man.
45:03It all started with Raven.
45:17A lifetime of hatred culminated into two and a half years of violence, and I finally took
45:25him out.
45:26Even Louie Spicoli tried to mock what I believe in, and I made him quit, and now he's gone.
45:32But you, Jerry Lawler, I knew you were different.
45:36No long feud.
45:38One time is all I needed to take you out and prove to the world that ECW is better than the
45:47WWF.
45:48And I did it.
45:49And the revolution goes stronger.
45:50And after two and a half years, I finally can put my pain to rest.
45:55I finally can put my pain to rest, because this, this is the end.
46:04You're right.
46:06...
46:12...
