Well not the full match like they said. 18.51 was shown. Also this match is pretty famous for the piledriver on the blackjack table except they don’t show it which leads me to believe that the piledriver is a bunch of BS (I actually just confirmed from someone that worked for the company that the piledriver did happen). Good match though. Jack and Sabu hug after the match. Sabu moonsaults through a table after the match.

Jack cuts a promo on Sabu. He says he is going to take the belt and put Sabu out of wrestling but he won’t put him out of a job as he can be his chauffeur.

Terry Funk vs. Virgil ref Jesse Hernandez Branding Iron Match
Funk chases Lorenz and Martin around with a flaming branding iron. The commentary is dubbed in post production and instead of pretending that it’’s live they just talk it like it’s not happening. I hate when commentary is done in post and they don’t pretend like it’s done live and completely ignore when they are on the screen or in the fucking ring doing the ring intros while doing commentary. The match starts and they brawl on the floor. Lorenz and Martin show back up on screen and this time they pretend that it’s live as they run away “good thing we have portable microphones.” Funk with a piledriver on the floor. Funk nails Lorenz. Funk slams Virgil on a table. Pandemonium breaks loose! Finally into the ring and Funk chops Virgil down and then throws him right back out of the ring. Funk with a DDT on the floor.

Virgil calls for another one. Funk nailed with a third DDT in the match. Funk goes to the floor attacks some fans. Virgil nails Funk with a chair and piece of table. Funk goes low and throws the ring bell into the ring. Funk brings the branding iron into the ring and takes a swing but Virgil ducks and nails Funk with a right and inverted atomic drop. Virgil locks in the million dollar dream. Funk grabs the ref and nails him as Funk goes out. Virgil lets go and covers but there is no ref. Virgil has a clear win. He goes to get the ref and Funk picks up the branding iron and nails Virgil. Ref gets up and counts the 3 for Funk in 15.17. Apparently they cut a bunch of the outside brawling from the TV episode. Funk nails the ref with the iron rips off his shirt and brands him. Funk goes to brand Virgil but Junkyard Dog makes the save. Why didn’t the ref DQ Funk for hitting him?

The rest is taken from the 09-24 Slammin’ review.

My thoughts on the show
This tape was awesome. All four matches were exciting. Add the Lil Haystacks Silver Wings match and you have the best matches from the company.
