Hoss (Dory Jr.) Funk looks like he's had enough, and at one point he completely no-sells a JYD headbutt. It's insane to think he still wrestles the occasional match nowadays, even more so when you considered how washed-up and miserable he looked to be wrestling in 1986. Terry Funk is the MVP for his great brawling and bumping. He takes multiple bumps on the concrete surrounding the ringside area. The teaming of Hogan and JYD don't mesh well together. JYD does most the work, with Hogan only having a brief stint as the legal man and he gets involved with the brawling at ringside. The main reason to watch this is Bobby Heenen's brilliant commentary, completely ragging on the JYD & The Haiti Kid, JYD & Hogan's dwarf manager. The Funks and Jimmy Hart cheat to gain the advantage, but they never look too strong as all it takes to put Dory away is an Axe Bomber and Leg Drop from a freshly tagged Hogan.

This is exactly what you can expect from a Hogan match from this time period. The crowd's molten hot, he's in there with a superior worker(s) and it's not very heavy on workrate.

★★½
