Mick Foley: Nobody embodies the ECW lifestyle more than this man.
Ring announcer: From Philadelphia, weighing in tonight at 244 pounds, he is the Hardcore Icon... this is The Sandman!
Tazz: There he is!
Joey Styles: The bar is open!
(Sandman stands in the midst of the ECW mutants, pops open a beer can and starts drinking down)
Tazz: Look at those fans!
Foley: They believe, because he believes— (Sandman finishes the beer and repeatedly smashes the can into his forehead)
Styles: He's already busted open and the match hasn't even begun yet!
Foley: —And now I believe! You know Sandman and I have a long history and it's not always pleasant, some personal animosity maybe, but I never doubted the guy's love for the business, and the love for what it meant to be an ECW wrestler.
