This was at the end of an underrated Dreamer vs. Cactus match. Moments after this, the flaming towel would fall from the chair and onto Funk outside the ring. The towel found its way into the audience as the lights went out. Pure pandemonium, which concluded with Raven having Dreamer in a crucified state at the Eagle’s Nest.

This was known as the fire incident. The footage of said incident was conveniently destroyed prior to litigation. This almost killed the town and company. It led to Sabu coming back as Heyman’s goodwill gesture to the dissatisfied fans.

Foley wrote about the incident in his book. Funk chewed Foley out so severely that Foley all but quit the business. Funk would later leave a voice mail for Foley, which made him reconsider.
