[1997-12-19-FMW] Terry Funk vs The Sandman vs Buh Buh Ray Dudley

[Kronos]

Stumbled across this one on youtube. Not particularly good.

 

Perhaps the most fun is watching the tiny ref try to stay out of the way when Terry's doing his airplane-spin with the ladder. The crowd doesn't pop for much - I am guessing because they don't know Bubba and Sandman, and the guys don't put in a lot of effort to demonstrate character. The fans do get into the spirit when D-Von interferes late in the much, but it's all kind of ruined by what appears to be a botched finishing spot.

 

Also, The Sandman gives exactly zero fucks in this match. Dude's there to collect a paycheck and go home. He does have one kind of almost-cool and dangerous-looking spot where he falls off the ladder. A ladder that he had no business setting up and climbing in the middle of the ring.
