00:04Chris, the American dream Dusty Rhodes, being the first man introduced here, the biggest
00:11main event, King of Carnage, Fatal 4-Way, hardcore legend, call it whatever you will,
00:18but it is time.
00:20It is time, and we've been waiting on life to listen to Bobby Rogers, what a great card
00:24we've had, and to be topped off with the King of Carnage, the Fatal 4-Way, like you
00:28said, call it whatever you want, four of the biggest names in wrestling ever, right
00:33here, F-O-W, Davey Arena, right here in Fort Lauderdale, the biggest main event, the biggest
00:39hardcore main event that I've ever seen, that you've ever seen, Bobby Rogers, that's ever
00:44been done.
00:45Chris Nelson, four of the biggest names in the history of our industry, and there is one
00:51of them right there, former N-W-A heavyweight champion of the world, the American dream Dusty
00:58Rhodes, which is a 4-Way, King of Carnage, Fatal 4-Way match, first pinfall is the winner,
01:04pinfall is not valid, until all four men have been busted and ripped wide open.
01:13I'll tell you what, the blood is going to fall in this, and we are talking about it, Dusty
01:19Rhodes.
01:19I mean, look at it, three-time N-W-A world heavyweight champion, right there.
01:24The man is synonymous with Texas death matches, anything involving blood and guts, and the
01:31people getting behind me, Dusty Rhodes right there, number one in my heart.
01:39Dusty, your first man in the ring.
01:41Dusty with a nice little gesture there.
01:43Dusty Rhodes, your first man in the ring, and the ECW world champion, ladies and gentlemen,
02:05Here is Terry Funk.
02:11There's the word.
02:12Terry Funk, the second man introduced here, Chris.
02:16Former NWA champion as well.
02:18Former ECW heavyweight champion, WWF tag team champion with Mick Foley.
02:24Chris, is that Auld Lang Syne playing?
02:28That sounds like Auld Lang Syne, and I don't think Terry's too happy about it.
02:32And as you can tell, that's definitely not Terry's usual ring music.
02:35I see a few sports words by Terry Funk there.
02:38I'm not a lip reader, but I can pretty much get the picture of what he's saying not happy with
02:45that music choice.
02:47I don't know he chose that one.
02:48I don't think Mr. Funk is too happy.
02:54He's got that double-cross brand right there.
02:57I wouldn't be surprised if he sticks that somewhere where the sun doesn't shine on somewhere.
03:02The history between these two men, the history between all four of these men, the history with Dusty Rhodes and
03:08all three of these men.
03:09There's tremendous Dusty Rhodes in the ring.
03:11Terry Funk about to enter the ring.
03:15It's just tremendous.
03:16The excitement, the electricity in the air is tremendous.
03:19Chris, you've got over 60 years of wrestling right here.
03:24Terry's got something to say, apparently.
03:25I don't know who's idea was to play all night long for me.
03:38Do you realize that I am the living legend in the wrestling in the year 2000, 2001, and 2002?
03:54Now I know that you're a silly son, Phil, that decided to play that music for me.
04:04But I want to say one thing, though.
04:07You won't be playing.
04:10You won't be playing.
04:14You won't be playing.
04:17You won't be playing.
04:20You won't be playing.
04:22You won't be playing.
04:30You won't be playing.
04:50I see a dual ringside Kevin Sullivan sneaking in Terry Funk offering an alliance here with
04:57Dusty Rhodes he's not going to get that I've never seen a Rhodes and Funk alliance right
05:02here but it looks like Terry's offering his hand to Dusty Rhodes I think I'd be there's
05:06no there's no way he could buy this
05:10you've got Kevin Sullivan and Abdul the Bush are both up and working on the outside this
05:15doesn't look good for Dusty right now
05:25what taking the hand Dusty Rhodes Harry Funk I don't believe it I didn't believe it Chris
05:32there it goes there's the double cross by the Funkster Chris it is officially underway in the ring
05:37the American Green Dusty Rhodes Terry Funk Abdul the Butcher and the Master of Darkness the Prince of Darkness Kevin
05:45Sullivan
05:46his manager at booted in at ringside Dusty firing back
05:49bionic elbow bionic elbow to the Butcher bionic elbow setting it up to Sullivan
05:57tell you what we never thought this match would happen a match of this magnitude
06:00look at that Dusty Rhodes firing back on Sullivan firing back on Abdullah
06:04firing back on Funk right there after the double cross this is just pandemonium already
06:08absolutely there's going to be no control no order the history like I said Dusty Rhodes
06:14shooting with all three of these men throughout his career all three of the men shooting with each
06:18other throughout their career and now Kevin Sullivan hammering away with a staff of darkness
06:23on Terry Funk Abdul Butcher has gone to the fork already he's gone to the fork on Dusty Rhodes you
06:28have to
06:29think back at all the the classic battles between Abdullah and Rhodes Funk and Rhodes Sullivan and Rhodes like
06:36you're saying all four of these men being all over the place battering look at a cherry thrown in there
06:40by Funk just
06:40globbers
06:41Abdullah the Butcher he's staggered him right there
06:44that's right Funk a little crazy on the outside Funk and Sullivan on the outside
06:49Dusty Abdullah on the inside Abdullah with the fork
06:52arriving digging that fork into the head Sullivan across the table thanks to Terry Funk
06:58referee Bruce Michaels all the referees in there just look at them
07:01they're just utter pandemonium around here this one's going to be hard to call it's just
07:05all over the place already it's just crazy you're going to see this is not a wrestling
07:09traditional wrestling match this is a brawl this is a fight a brawl for it all who is the king
07:14of
07:14hardcore who is the king of legends who is the king of carnage right now Terry Funk with some left
07:20hands to the head of Abdul the Butcher followed up with some short right jabs there goes famous
07:25Terry Funk jabs followed by a big left to the head right there I tell you what I don't this
07:32is just
07:32absolutely crazy look at that Sullivan throwing a chair at Rhodes there's the big boots to the head
07:37this is already just breaking this is exactly what we were waiting on Bobby no regards for
07:41Dusty Rhodes now Terry Funk with the fork turning the tables on Abdul the Butcher and uh it appears
07:48that Abdul the Butcher has already been busted open one down three to go I can't confirm if anyone
07:54else has been busted open the fish pinfalls are not valid until all four men are busted open and I
07:59definitely see some blood flowing out of Abdul the Butcher right there Funk has busted him open with
08:04that Denny special fork there absolutely Dusty Rhodes firing back on Funk and Sullivan
08:10Dusty's busted open I can see that Dusty's open too I can confirm that possibly also from the fork at
08:17the
08:17hands of Abdul the Butcher bionic elbow on Sullivan right hand onto Abdullah another bionic elbow
08:23Dusty Rhodes firing away at those elbows like Sullivan going for it oh that's Funk going for a table he's
08:29got Sullivan on the outside so it's Funk and Sullivan on the outside he's going for a table right there
08:34and we're bummed thrown into it whips him right into the world wrestling network table at ringside
08:40where Sullivan's got his ever trusty a Buddha Dean out there the snake master
