In the main event after Sabu and Dory Funk Jr. took each other to the mat in a wrestling competition for over 20 minutes Sabu brought a chair into the ring and threw it at Funk. Dory got the chair in mid air and started bashing Sabu with the chair multiple times followed by Funk applying the spinning toe hold to Sabu, turning twice then cinching up on the hold. Funk had Sabu on the way to a tap out when a ball of fire came from Sabu's hands rising to Funk's face, EXPLODING in a HUGE ball of Fire scorching Dory's Face with a raw open burn and  turning the center of the ring to a firestorm.

The show was being video tapped for replay on Funk's online !BANG! TV show.  Dory Funk was treated at a local hospital for severe burns around the face and remains under a doctor's care out of concern of a damaged retina in his right eye.

Japanese press, in attendance at the show will release photos of the complete show, "Support Your Troops" in Japan including photos of the Torching of Funk by Sabu. 

 

After the match, Funk was helped out of the ring by Johnny Magnum. Blain Rage confronted Sabu on behalf of Funk but was slammed upside down against a ladder by the Homicidal Genocidal Sabu, also causing concern medicaly for the apparent damage to the back side of Blaine Rage from the aggressive bahavior of Sabu during the Ladder exchange between them.

 

In other matches on the show, Funking Conservatory World Champion, Johnny Magnum successfully defended against Denver's Lonnie Valdez winning with a rolling cradle. In a Hard Core championship match Blain Rage defeated Jon Davis to become the Funking Conservatory Hard Core Champion. Richard Alexander (The Great) became new European Champion with a victory over Sage Hilton. Sage had the advantage for most of the match however, Richard Alexander (The Great), caught Sage with a surprise DDT for the victory.  Lonnie Valdez won a controversial decision over Freddie "Freight Train" Neal. Upset over the decision, Freight Train had words with the referee "The Claw" Claudia Reiff. When The Claw refused to re-start the match, the 300 pound Freight Train body slammed the 120 pound Claw leaving doubt as to whether she could continue. After a brief respite "The Claw" continued as the official referee. Bubba Myers won a hard fought match against D. D. Davis. After the match was over, D. D. Davis slammed Bubba Myers and climbed to the top rope and hit a five star frog splash on Bubba.
