Final Resolution! We kick things off with an “Old School Rules” match!
Old School Rules: Tommy Dreamer vs. Larry D
A little trash talk leads to a lockup as the match begins. Both men shove each other before Larry D takes the lead with a shoulder tackle. Both men roll out of the ring. Tommy Dreamer smacks Larry D with an uppercut. He grabs a baking sheet and hits Larry D in the head with it before busting out a water bottle and throwing it in Larry’s direction. Larry D puts on the breaks and sends Dreamer face-first into the ring post. Next, he dumps a big cardboard box on top of Dreamer’s neck. Larry D finds himself in a whirl of trouble following a punch that accidentally goes through a trash can lid. Both men make their way back into the ring. Larry D knocks Dreamer off of his feet with another baking sheet to the head. Larry D gets a near-fall count.

When I left boarding school I tried to get into drama school but I was not ready and it took a few years to get accepted at the Gaiety school.
I spent some time drinking heavily in Donegal but in 2001 did an arts course in the Playhouse theatre in Derry which gave me a creative reboot.
I then did a cert and taught drama at the YMCA in Derry and at Belvedere school in Dublin – these were incredible experiences and the theatre games were so good for the children’s confidence.
