It goes to the titantron, where it shows Mr Perfect’s with Mean Gene interview earlier –
Mr Perfect (Reyes) said:
What's my name?
*"Mr.Perfect" states Mean Gene (appearing for the first time ever in ECW)*
You said that perfectly. Have you ever seen confidence and perfection like this, Mean Gene? Of course, you haven't, I AM perfection.
I'm not only the perfect wrestler - i'm the perfect athlete. Not only do I play golf, basketball, billiards, chess, cricket AND croquet - I can play all those sports, and more. But more importantly, I play them perfectly.
You see Hogan, you're now a shadow of your former self. You've lost your determination, you've lost your confidence, you've lost your courage, and most importantly, you've lost all your 'Hulkamaniacs'...but don't worry Hulk Hogan, when you finally get the chance to step in the ring with me, you'll show the whole world, your only perfect quality - you'll lose, perfectly.
Joey Styles: Well, it seems as Mr Perfect has completely forgot about the other competitor Rob Van Dam. I would say it is a tad disrespectful. But I am joined here again with Tazz and Tazz, you have nothing to be ashamed about, you gave it your all.
Tazz: Well Joey, like you said I gave it my all, but the Hart Foundation are one of the best tag teams ever, so maybe me and Carlito had to try more than our bests. Anyway, let’s get the main event on!
Justin Roberts: The following contest is a Number One Contenders match scheduled for one fall and it is held under Extreme rules!
