Talk about it here.

Cactus talks about the King of the Death Matches tournament, and how Funk rolling around in flames was payback for branding him earlier in the year in ECW Arena. He starts talking politics, and this was probably really good, but I stopped paying attention because it was so long and ECW promos are so hard to hear because of their production values.

Cactus shows off the cast on his arm resulting from the King of the Death Match, before shitting on the idea of being the King of the Hardcores. Cactus regales us with the story of his Uncle Willy--a WW2 veteran who was a casualty of the sinking of the USS Indianapolis. Cactus considered Willy a hero before walking through a memorial at Hiroshima, and ends up cutting a scorched-earth promo on him and other, armchair patriots--"I HOPE THEY SWALLOWED HIS SPINE, IF THEY EVEN HAD ONE." This is unbelievably heavy stuff for a wrestling promo, probably too heavy, and it's a little forced how Cactus ties all this back into his turn on Dreamer. Nonetheless, it's still a good promo that pretty much no one else in wrestling could possibly have attempted, maybe ever.

Comparing DDTing Tommy Dreamer in ECW Arena to the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagaski is some pretty crazy shit. He goes after George Washington for holding slaves. It is kinda amazing how little things have changed since 1995. Dreamer's response to all this, "We are Politically Incorrect and damn proud of it.". Tommy Dreamer, you are such a dweeb. It is amazing people have been railing against Political Correctness for at least 25 years what may be 30-35 years? Here's what Politically Correct means being a considerate, empathetic human being you obsequious prick. I dont know why Raven & Cactus wasted their time trying save that asshole.
