In a hardcore match between Jaida Parker and Lola Vice, Dawn Marie took on the role of special guest referee, adding to the ECW flavor of the evening.
Another standout moment featured Robert Stone venting his frustrations to the fans, only to be interrupted by ECW legend Rhyno, who stormed out to deliver a crowd-pleasing Gore. The former ECW Champion’s appearance brought a huge pop from the diehard fans in attendance.
In a backstage segment, ECW veterans Tony Mamaluke and Nunzio expressed their displeasure over recent disrespect from The Family.
