-Cactus comes out announced as Mick Foley. Pat Patterson is the special referee. This is a complete ECW-style brawl with a moonsault off the second level of the coliseum by Funk onto Cactus. Cactus also nailed a piledriver through a table in the concession area. It was absolute mayhem for 20-25 minutes but it ended with Cactus getting
the pin after nailing a piledriver on top of a steel chair.

After the match, Cactus continued beating up Funk until Austin came face to face with Cactus. This was a set up though since Pat Patterson was ready to nail Austin with a chair, but Austin realized this and nailed Patterson with the stunner. As Cactus went to the back, Dude Love's music began playing and Vince McMahon came out with Dude's
two bikini babes, dancing and celebrating. He then hugged Cactus and congratulated him as Austin stood in the ring, looking in disbelief and flipping all of them the bird.
