Final Round Match of the WWC Universal Title Tournament

This was a bit disappointing in terms of action, but it told a good story and it was the culmination of the invader heel Funk against the ace Colon, in the tournament final. Good crowd, even though Porto Rico has been more vocal on other occasions. Funk made this a blast with his dirty heel stuff, they had to base everything on crowd support and slow pacing, as Colon couldn't bump like Barry Windham or Rick Martel of course. My only big issue is that it felt a bit lazy for a A show, even Dory didn't really do anything impactful on his run in, which made all of them look older than they actually were. Good babyface finish and, at the end of the day, this was a good 15 minutes exhibition
