Decent enough garbage brawl. Dreamer has an apparent pin on Raven but Richards breaks it up. Dreamer levels Richards with a DDT in a cool reversal spot, then the referee. Then he piledrives Beulah--not only is that intensely uncomfortable to watch days after the Ray Rice story exploded again, it's kind of dumb booking to pay off Dreamer's revenge on Beulah a full two weeks after her debut.

This was an OK match but was an awesome segment. We get a ton of feel good shit and a lot of interesting nuance and character work here from everyone. This is a great example of what made ECW different even from FMW in Japan. It's counter culture attitude has been lost or watered down as time has passed. Hell, the Raven grunge character is the obvious thing to point to. Then you have the anti-hero to the anti hero in Tommy Dreamer. Essentially a dork loser (even to the fans early on) who is the everyman trying to make it and be true to himself. Tommy Dreamer reminds me of a character in a Springsteen song. Mix this with iconic Eddie vs Dean match and this must have been a sick show for the fans.
