Vince is still standing in the ring when we return and welcomes to Championship Wrestling the World Heavyweight Champion Terry Funk. Funk at first acts cordial to Vince and the fans, but then starts to insult the fans and berate Vince when Vince mentions WWWF Champion Superstar Billy Graham and how Graham pinned Funk to win a tag team match in Rochester. Funk calls it a lucky break and that Graham couldn't beat him on his best day.  Funk  says Graham is a coward or else he would be out challenging Funk right now! The crowd begins to stir and cheer, at first Funk thinks they are cheering for him, until he turns and sees WWWF Champion Superstar Graham coming down the aisle and into the ring!! Vince asks both men to restrain themselves and Graham promises not to throw the first punch. Graham and Funk debate back and forth, finally Graham tricks Funk into agreeing to put the NWA World Title on the line against him at Madison Square Garden on August 13!!!!  Graham tells Funk when he leaves The Garden he will do so with two titles! Funk says they should shake on it and put his hand out, Graham goes to shake him hand, and Funk swings with his other fist, but Graham blocks the punch and unloads on the World Champion with punches of his own!!!!!! Graham rocks Funk backward and then blast with a solid punch that sends Funk over the top rope and two the floor!!! Funk is dazed on the outside of the ring and Graham holds both the NWA and WWWF Titles up in the air.
