I might be wrong, but this might be the only time they ever faced and I am glad this exists. This was such a rugged and snug bout, they quickly established their roles and Funk was so effective in his dirty heel portrait, despite him still being able to wrestle in the 'All Japan way'. Great selling by Windham, who was determined to get revenge after being beaten down and spat on. The spot of the match was Funk piledriving Windham on the concrete, only for Windham to give it back to him twice when he started his comeback. Funk did wonders with his drunk and anger selling, even though he outsmarted his opponent at the end
