He then climbs to the second rope and comes off with a double axe handle chop to Funk's head again and covers him hooking both legs....1.....2.....3!!!! Wahoo has done it again. He has pinned Terry Funk!! Will Funk give up? Will he get another shot? Only time will tell!
Winner: Chief Wahoo McDaniel @28:56

Fantabulous card (Fantastic just didn't do it justice).  Jones with a great win.  Gibson & Kernodle stepped it up several notches.  The Anderson clan holds the gold by hook or by crook.  Giant still can't quite handle Mammoth.  Big Chief still looking great as champ.  Great, great job!
