Revolution returns from a commercial break, and almost at once the fans erupt as “Reise, Reise” by Rammstein powers through the speakers. Walking out onto the stage side by side, Eric Donavan and Lyra LeVeux-Donavan make their way to the top of the ramp, their newly-won World Tag Team Titles over their shoulders.Ring Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the NEW World Tag Team Champions… the DRAGON CLAN! The pounding, foreboding notes of “Reise, Reise” pound through the arena as the couple hold their belts up high to the delight of the fans in attendance. Striding down the ramp together, Eric ascends the steps first, turning after moving along the apron and holding the ropes open for Lyra, who enters first. The Irish Dragon enters after her and the pair make their way to the center of the ring as spotlights follow. After a few moments more, Eric gestures for a pair of microphones, handing one to Lyra as their theme fades.”Welcome back! Welcome back! Welcome back!” Lyra looks back and forth at the mass of cheering humanity before turning to Eric with a grin.Lyra LeVeux-Donavan: I think they missed us! The reaction clearly rings in the affirmative. Eric, sliding off his silver-framed sunglasses, tucks them into the pocket of his suit jacket, nods in agreement.Eric Donavan: That’s only fair, mo gra. The feeling is mutual. Another burst of cheers that the Clan soaks in for a moment.Eric Donavan: But there’s time enough for reminiscing about the good ol’ days and raising several pints to the future later on at the nearest pub after Revolution is off the air- Clearly, some fans are already Googling the nearest spots…Eric Donavan: -but right now, Lyra and I are here to talk about something a little different. And it has everything to do with what we’ve been hearing back there in the locker room since All or Nothing. Up on the big screen over the stage, some pre-recorded comments are played out for the benefit of those fans in attendance and those watching at home. Several ECWF stars and stalwarts are asked their opinions about the return of the Dragon Clan and their win over Age of the Fall for the tag titles. And while there are positive responses, there are many who aren’t happy that the veterans are back… and even less happy that they walked into a title shot.
By the time the recording is finished, the fans are booing, Eric is smirking and Lyra has a comically-bored expression on her pretty face. Clearly, the Donavans aren’t terribly miffed by the negativity of their fellow wrestlers.Eric Donavan: It’s enough to hurt a man’s feelings. Lyra LeVeux-Donavan: What, the whining from that bunch of ungrateful potlickers? Never shy about saying what she feels, Lyra steps up front-and-center with the stick while Eric gives her space, smirking all the way.Lyra LeVeux-Donavan: I say to you lot backstage the same thing I say every time someone tries to give us grief about showing up and running the place within a week: if you don’t like it, do something about it. We said our piece about exactly why we were offered a title opportunity and the fact that my husband is willing to put his Long Walk on hold to run with these titles as long as we might. What pisses you lot off most is that you can’t refute us. What makes it worse is that even after so long off a steady schedule of matches and title runs, we did exactly what we said we would do. Walking up behind his wife, his hand on her bare shoulder, Eric stares at the hard camera. Any trace of mirth is gone now.Eric Donavan: We came. We fought. We won. And everything burned. The fans are all riled up again now…”Burn! Burn! BURN!” ...and the Clan is loving every minute of it.Eric Donavan: The Age of the Fall gave us a fight, but they weren’t ready. They were warned. They were told exactly what needed to happen to keep their titles. And they did not, or could not, make it happen. Take your pick. Now, here stands the Dragon Clan… back, claiming gold and putting our names back on the marquee. Nothing has changed. Lyra LeVeux-Donavan: Not the chilly reception from our so-called peers, not the bad attitude lingering whenever we’re around… and why is that? That’s the part I’ve never understood. Same as it was years ago, we want to see this place grow and succeed. We want to take it to new heights. And so far, we’re doing just that. Social media, podcasts and wrestling magazines alike are all abuzz. And what about, you ask? Why, the ECWF. And the Dragon Clan, of course, but predominantly the ECWF. You’re welcome, by the way! As she says this, she gestures sharply at the entrance to the locker room area.Eric Donavan: The same has always held true with us: if you don’t like us, come down here and do something about it. If you want a shot at us, we won’t turn you away. Think you have what it takes to be champs? Call your shot and take a swing. But if all you’re gonna do is snipe behind our backs while smiling in our faces? Well… it isn’t gonna end well for you. Hate us if you want. But disrespect us at your own peril. Lyra takes the belt off her shoulder, holding it up high while Eric does the same.Lyra LeVeux-Donavan: We’re back. Come make something of it, if you’ve got a set. Eric Donavan: The strong will rise. Everyone and everything else? ”...BURNS!” The fans finish it for them. Eric holds the ropes for Lyra to leave the ring, then follows as “Reise, Reise” starts up again, pausing at the top of the ramp to hold the gold up high one more time.
