Raven stomps Funk and tells him to get up as Raven holds the ECW Title. Raven grabs it and runs and slams it into Funk's head. Raven gets a chair and sets it up in the ring. He then whips Funk into the ropes and drops him onto the steel chair with a drop toehold. Raven grabs the chair and folds it up and whacks a prone Funk over the head with it. Funk is on the ground literally gushing blood from the head. Raven kicks him in the head once again. The referees and Dr. Mark Allen are seeing if Funk can even continue. Raven continues to goad Funk. Raven charges up and stomps him in the head again. The doctors come in again to check on Funk as Raven drops in the corner and the crowd wildly chants for Tommy Dreamer to come down and fight Raven. Tommy promised Funk he wouldn't, so Dreamer is at the announce position. Raven pulls himself up and continues to destroy Funk. Raven gets on his knees and punches Funk in the face repeatedly. Funk punches the air blindly like a lame duck, while Raven stands there smugly, his wrist tape caked in Funk's own blood.

Raven then goes outside and sets up a table at ringside. He pulls Funk out of the ring with Mark Allen in tow and slams Funk with the table. Raven then sets up another table at ringside. He picks Funk and lays him on the table, blood oozing out of his head.

"I put Funk through three tables! I'm gonna end his comeback, his career and its gonna be right in front of your feet!"

Dreamer then drops his headset and makes his way towards the ring, goading Raven to coem up the announce position and fight him. Raven does the sign of the Crucifix and then turns back to further destroy Funk. Big Dick Dudley comes up behind Tommy and smashes a trash can over his head. Raven then DDT's the referee down below to further dismantle Terry. Sick intends to chokeslam Dreamer off the balcony. Dreamer reverses it, going through 3 tables to the crowd floor. The crowd starts screaming ECW. Raven waits for Tommy to make his way into the ring to take him out as well as Funk. Raven hits an irish whip, Dreamer turns it into a hiptoss and DDT for a deep impact on Raven. Dreamer then runs out of the ring and urges Funk to cover Raven, but only gets a 2 count.

SEW: ECW World Heavyweight Championship: The Sandman vs. Raven: (04.07.97) - This is an indie fed called Southern Extreme Wrestling. The strains of The Offspring come through the speakers and the crowd pops big time as Raven comes to the ring. And, strangely, even though ECW has not been available in the area since Fox took over Sports South, most of the fans were quite familiar with Raven's gimmick -- cheering when he stretched his arms out to the side. But the loudest pop and first chant of the night were yet to come. As Raven climbed into the ring and his music faded, the Sandman's entrance music started up to a great reaction. Of course, his forehead was already scarred when he popped his first brew, poured about half of it down his throat and then smashed the can into his head several times. He repeated this twice more for two other areas of ringside, effectively blading himself, before stepping into the ring just as the song ended. All in all, an entrance that lasted well over five minutes and that did its job in hyping the crowd, who even started a "Sandman, Sandman" chant. The match as you might expect from these two veterans was very good. Both brawled all over the building and into the crowd. Raven retains the title when "Hot Chocolate" Kory Williams does a run in with a table and nails Sandman from behind.

WINNER and STILL ECW Champion: Raven via pinfall.

ECW: Raven Interference: Stevie Richards [w/ the Blue World Order] vs. Raven: (04.05.97) - As the match is about to start Raven comes out onto the stage, distracting Stevie just long enough for Lee to grab him and hit the Prime-Time Slam. Time of the match: roughly 5 seconds.

Raven [w/Lupus] & 'The Franchise' Shane Douglas vs. Tommy Dreamer [w/ Beulah McGillicutty] & Terry Funk - Raven comes out with a tall, gangly guy carrying a sex doll and picking his nose named Lupus; the obvious inference is that Raven can take any schmuck like he took Steve Richards and make the guy his flunky. Funk and Dreamer head out and immediately attack Raven and Douglas. They brawl for several minutes on the floor, then it settles into a regular tag match with Raven avoiding Funk at all costs. Dreamer gets beat on for a long heat segment; Funk tries to make the tag but JR Finnegan is suddenly a regular referee, stopping him from interfering as the heels keep a long chinlock on Dreamer. Funk finally gets the tag again, and the match reverts into a brawl. Funk gets dropped, but Shane and Raven start fighting over who makes the pin. Shane brings a chair into the ring and drops Dreamer's leg on it. He goes for it again as Raven turns his back to gloat, but Dreamer recovers and gets a rollup for the pin out of nowhere. Somewhere in the middle of this, Francine and Beulah get into another catfight. Dreamer and Funk corners Raven and slap a double spinning toehold on him. The unnamed woman that joined Raven at the last Arena show jumps onto Funk's back to stop him, and Dreamer responds by giving her the four-corner piledriver. Funk covers her for a three-count, and the show ends.

WINNERS: Terry Funk & Tommy Dreamer via pinfall.

ECW TV: Raven Promo: (04.01.97) - Comments from Raven next about Sandman and he talks about his other challengers for the belt, how he knows guys like Stevie from high school, that realization that no one really likes him, not being invited to parties, how he needed Raven to get him out of that mess, how he won't be a factor and won't make it through the three way dance. He talks about Terry Funk in saying that wrestling is sport for virile young men not sickly old fools. He says that he will carry Terry Funk in that match and make it one of the greatest matches in history and then take that away and realize that he can't defeat Raven and that all Raven's doing is tormenting him.

When he stops Terry's comeback he hurts his father, and as he forces Tod Gordon and Paul Heyman to show that he is the greatest wrestler in the world and show that to the world. Quote his father's son ... Nevermore.

Joey's back talking about Raven and saying how he's using these interviews to get some kind of psychological advantage and his problems dont give him the right to do what he did to Stevie to do what he did to Sandman and his family and also to almost hospitalize Terry Funk, the forefather of this company.
