A fun brawl.
Dreamer took the mic and said that the crowd had no idea the bullsh** he had to put up with today. He said that between the fans and the people in the back, they are a team. Dreamer said he doesn't want to compete with WWE, TNA and ROH, he just wants to give the fans something different. He says that when wrestlers tell him they didn't like their matches and try to give him their pay back or when the fans react in a way that inspires him, it means the world. He tells the fans they are awesome. He said there are so many times he sees things repeat themselves. He said Terry Funk was the elder statesmen for ECW and he's the elder statemen for HOH. He said he's doing what he can to build this and he told everyone there will be a hell of a main event. He said that he wanted to apologize to Beulah McGuillicuty for all he puts her through with running the shows but he does it because he loves her, their daughters and their dogs and he wants to create something special. Dreamer got pretty choked up. A fan yelled that Dreamer didn't owe them anything. Dreamer responded that the fans paid their money, so he owes them a lot. A nice moment.
