Round 7
Ernie Ladd
Dory Funk Jr.
Olympic Auditorium In Los Angeles
Funk and Ladd start cautiously. Ladd starts
with a headlock. Dory Funk Jr. reverses the headlock and Big Ernie throws
Funk into the ropes. As Funk comes off, Ladd drops flat, Funk goes over
to the other side and charges back, Ladd leapfrogs right over the top of
Funk and as Funk comes off the other side, Ladd catches Funk with a size
18 foot right to the face. Ladd is up quick and jabs Funk into the neck
with his thumb. Funk is having trouble breathing. Ladd brings Funk up in
a headlock and goes for the thumb again but from within the headlock, Funk
raises Ladd high in the air and drops Ladd's shin across Funk's knee. This
shatters Ladd's weak knee from football injuries and makes him easy prey
for Dory Funk Jr.'s famous spinning toe hold. Winner of the match, Dory
Funk Jr.
Terry Funk
Walter Palmer (Battle of Spinning Toe Holds)
Bull Barn in Hereford, Texas
Before the match is under way, Terry is going
through the crowd. He chases some kid from his chair and smashes the chair
to bits. Terry comes into the ring with the leg of a chair in the back
of his tights. The referee rings the bell and Terry hits Palmer over the
head with the leg of the chair. Palmer crumbles and Terry applies the Spinning
Toe Hold. The winner of the match, Terry Funk.

Slam and Lewis never raises his shoulders. The winner with the Olympic
slam, Kurt Angle.

slams Windsor three times and dives across the prone body of Adam Windsor.

knocked out and Windsor covers for the pin. Winner Adam Windsor.

Antonio Inoki

turnbuckle and hits him with chop after chop and the fans are going crazy
yelling Whooooooooo with every chop. Flair throws Inoki across the ring
but Inoki reverses it and throws Flair into the corner. Flair goes up and
over the turnbuckle landing on the apron. Flair runs to the opposite turnbuckle
and climbs to the top rope. 20,000 people yell in unison, "Body slam him
from the top rope." Inoki obligingly slams Flair from the top rope. Flair
