Gordon: “Quite. A most diverse slate of action — each promotion advancing its own narrative threads, yet all showcasing remarkable athleticism and intensity.”

Quoth the Raven 'Nevermore': Raven vs. Dreamer

Party 1: Tommy Dreamer, Luna Vachon, Terry Funk, Beulah
Party 2: Raven, Stevie Richards, Johnny Hot Body, Tony Stetson, Cactus Jack, Blue Meanie, Kimona Wanalaya, Don Harris, Ron Harris, Brian Lee, Louie Spicolli
Timeframe: January 1995 – June 1997
Promotion: Extreme Championship Wrestling

PROMO:

Worker(s): Cactus Jack
Date: 19.09.1995
Promotion: Extreme Championship Wrestling
Event: ECW Hardcore TV #126

Cactus Jack: “More than anyone else in that ECW dressing room, Tommy Dreamer, maybe more than anyone else in the wrestling industry you are willing to pay the price. To sweat, to bleed, to suffer. You’re willing to bear that cross. And I say Tommy, DON’T DO IT! Because in order to sacrifice and bear that cross for them… it means that I’ve got to suffer too. And I’m telling you from a voice of experience that they’re not worth it, Tommy. THEY’RE NOT WORTH IT! You see you got the choice – NOT ME! I made my bed of nails and now I got no other choice but to be powerbombed on it. But you see Tommy, the world is smiling at you. The wrestling business is smiling at you. AND DON’T YOU FROWN BACK ON IT!

I’m going to take you back to a very deciding point in my life – a time when I believed in something. A time when I thought that my face and my name made a difference. Do you remember the night, Tommy Dreamer, because it’s embedded in my skull, it’s embedded in my heart, and it’s embedded in every NIGHTMARE that I will ever have. As Terry Funk took a broken bottle and began slicing and dicing Cactus Jack, the pain was so much that I’ll be honest with you Tommy. The pain was so much that I wanted to say I quit, Terry Funk, I give, I wave the flag, and I’m a coward – please don’t cut me anymore.

Then I saw my saving grace. You see, Tommy, I looked out in that audience, my adoring crowd, and I saw two simple words that changed my life. ‘Cane Dewey.’ Somebody had taken the time and the effort and the thought to make a sign that said, ‘Cane Dewey’ and I saw other people around, as every moment in my life stopped and focused in on that sign and the pain that shot through my body became a distant memory- replaced by the pain that will be embedded in my skull ‘TIL MY DYING DAY! ‘Cane Dewey.’ ‘Cane Dewey.’ Dewey Foley is a three-year-old boy, YOU SICK SONS OF BITCHES!

You ripped out my heart, you took everything I believed in and you flushed it down the damn toilet. You flushed my heart, you flushed my soul, and now it sickens me to sit back and see other people making the same mistake. You see, Tommy Dreamer I’ve gotta to listen to my little boy say every day of my life ‘Daddy, I miss Atlanta,’ and I say, ‘That’s too bad son, because your dad traded in the victorian house for a sweatbox in Long Island. Your Dad traded in a hundred… thousand dollar contract, guaranteed money, insurance, respect and the name on the dotted line of the greatest man in the world – to work for a scumbag who operates out of a little pissant pawn shop in Philadelphia.’

You don’t expect me to be bitter? Tommy, when you open your heart, when you open your soul, AND IT GETS SHIT ON, it tends to make Jack a very mean boy. And so, I’m saying to you – before I take these aggressions out on you – to look at your future and realize that the hardcore life IS A LIE, that these letters behind me are a blatant lie, that those fans who sit there and say ‘He’s Hardcore He’s Hardcore He’s Hardcore’, wouldn’t piss on you if you were on fire, you selfish son of a bitch!

But, I want you to understand Tommy though he’s hurt you time and time again, deep in his heart, Raven wants you to understand that the hatred I have in here is not for you. No, no – far removed. You see, Tommy, I’m not doing this because I hate you – I love you, man! I only want the best for you, but when I hear that WCW called up your number and you said, ‘No thank you’ – well, it makes my blood run cold. As cold as that night in the ECW arena.

And so I have got a moral obligation – you see Tommy, I’m on the path of the righteousness and righteous men wield a lot of power. So if I’ve got to drag you BY YOUR FACE to that telephone call and dial collect and say, ‘Hello Eric, it’s me, Cactus, and though I know I’ve burned my bridge, and I’ll never be taken back with open arms – I’ve got a wrestler who would glady trade in his ECW shirt for a pair of green suspenders.’ And Tommy, just think of that sound in your ear when Uncle Eric says, ‘Welcome home, Tommy Dreamer, welcome home.’ I love being right.”

Context and Background

The promo was part of a feud between Cactus Jack and Tommy Dreamer, with Foley warning Dreamer against enduring the same kind of brutal treatment he had suffered. The emotional core of the rant was triggered by a fan-made sign in the ECW arena that read “Cane Dewey” — a cruel reference to Foley’s then-three-year-old son. The sign was made in the wake of a brutal attack by Terry Funk, during which Foley was caned multiple times. The sight of the sign in the crowd, combined with the pain of the attack, became the catalyst for the rant.

🎙️ DESK OUTRO

Ed: “Fans, that’s five promotions firing on all cylinders — from deathmatches to idol magic, from high‑speed trios to heavyweight wars!”

Gordon: “Indeed. A most dynamic week across the global landscape, with summer promising even greater developments.”
