November 29, 201311 yr comment_5574578 Funk is about to interview who I think is Hunter Q. Robbins III when he's clobbered by Eddie Gilbert with a chair. Funk returns the favor during a Gilbert interview later. Things would get crazier than this, but the hardcore element to ECW was pretty much pushed from the start.
December 24, 201410 yr comment_5646812 Gilbert blindsides Funk with a chair shot. Gilbert's then in a match where he was bloody and Funk comes and lays him out with a chair. Funk then with a promo wanting to go at Gilbert. Solid set up for that feud.

July 12, 20169 yr comment_5759157 Actually, the Funk-Gilbert feud had been going on for a while in Philly; we have examples of their matches on the '92 set. There wasn't much here except the chair shots and Terry's promo, which is an excellent example of the crazy old man character that he'd play throughout the nineties. I liked the chaotic feel to this brought about by the less-than-perfect production values, suh as the audio acting up and the announcers screaming about getting control. I can't wait to see where this goes next; I have a feeling that it'll be straight to hell (in a good way).
