The WWE Vault has uploaded another interesting find, this time it’s ECW’s 50 Years of Funk event from 1997. The show was also promoted as Terry Funk’s Wrestlefest and happened in Amarillo, Texas. At the time, Funk was planning to wrestle his match at the event, which was against Bret Hart. Obviously, Funk would end up wrestling (and retiring) several times after that. It was also notable for being featured in the documentary Beyond the Mat. The lineup included:

* No Disqualification: Terry Funk vs. Bret Hart
* ECW World Heavyweight Championship: Shane Douglas (c) vs. Tommy Dreamer
* No Disqualification: Balls Mahoney vs. Buh Buh Ray Dudley
* ECW World Television Championship: Taz (c) vs. Chris Candido
