[2000-12-18-WCW-Nitro] Terry Funk vs Meng (Hardcore)

[GSR]

The returning Terry Funk is the new WCW Hardcore champion after defeating Crowbar last night at Starrcade.  After Meng makes his way down to the ring, accompanied by Paisley and Kwee Wee, ‘the Funker’ appears on the video screen and challenges Meng “and his banana nose” to come and meet the hardcore legend inside a cage if he’s got the guts.  Meng takes off backstage to find him, the camera in pursuit.  Eventually he does and the match primarily consists of them hitting each other over the head with a garbage can.  Funk pulls out some handcuffs at one point but Meng ends up getting hold of them and cuffs ‘the Funker’s’ hands together.  The chain on them is so long though that it makes no difference and he can still operate as if he wasn’t wearing them!  There is one funny moment when Funk is backing off and he’s pleading with Meng to take it easy on him, saying how he’s seeing double, is a grandfather, only to then start insulting him!  They make their way from the backstage area to the ring and it’s more of the same, Funk also getting busted open hard way somewhere in there.  ‘The Funker’ avoids the frog splash as Meng crashes through the table he’d just lay him but can’t take advantage of the situation.  ‘Tongan Death Grip’ when out runs Crowbar who wallops him in the back with a wrench and Funk falls on top to retain the title.  ‘The Manic Mechanic’ then informs the champion not to mistake what he did for loyalty or compassion, it was just his way of insuring that he’s 100% come Sin.
