"I fell down a lot, but you made me get up"

Tommy Dreamer: "My first time in this building--I sat in section 231, row 22, seats 12, 13 and 14. [deutet in die entsprechende Richtung] I was with my best friend and my father. And that was my second ever time seeing a WWE match. I saw Rowdy Roddy Piper do a live Piper's Pit. And he called in a woman from Yonkers. And I remember 'I'm from Yonkers.' Man. There are so many people I wanna thank. And I don't wanna leave out anybody. And I know my time is short. But thank you to everyone from the original ECW. To the new ECW. Man, this is hard. This is been my dream since I was nine years old. And I think it totally proves that if you have passion for what you do, you can make it anywhere. And I made it in ECW and I made in the WWE.

There are so many great people in this organization that I'm gonna miss so much. Man, I promised myself I wouldn't cry, but this is so hard. [ringt um Fassung] You know--Hang on one second. You know what these three letters mean to me. In WWE we're supposed to address you all as the WWE Universe. But for my entire career I've always considered you my family.

My daughters go to kindergarten. And they had that where they say 'What does your father and mother do for a living?'. And my daughter Kimberly said 'My daddy falls down a lot'. And my daughter Brianna says 'But my daddy always gets up'. I thought about that and Tommy Dreamer fell down a lot. But because of each and everyone of you and the millions at home watching--You made me get up. And I thought about life. Life is hard. And I know--Man, we try--It's so hard. [wischt weitere Tränen aus dem Gesicht] But we gotta keep trying. And fighting. Because that's what life is all about. Be good to others. And I will miss each and every one of you. Thank you so much. I love you all so much.

[Dreamer zieht sein typisches ECW-Shirt aus, legt dieses in die Mitte des Ringes. Dann geht er aus diesem und umarmt seine Familie, um dann seine Kinder mit die Rampe nach oben zu nehmen, als seine Musik ein letztes Mal spielt. An der Rampe verabschiedet er sich mit einem letzten seiner bekannten Schreie und verschwindet dann zum Ende der Show nach hinten.]"

- Unmittelbar zuvor verlor Tommy Dreamer ein Match gegen Zack Ryder. Aufgrund einer selbst auferlegten Stipulation musste Dreamer nach dieser Niederlage seine Karriere in der WWE beenden.
