-Cactus Jack VS Terry Funk (No Holds Barred - Falls Count
Anywhere)
-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.
