> "On October 24, 2015 Funk had his latest retirement match at USA Championship Wrestling in Jackson, Tennessee at Oman Arena against Jerry Lawler, Lawler went on to win by DQ."

> One guy is 71 years old (71!) and the other, rather spry at 66, had an on-air heart attack a few years ago after wrestling a match.

Meltzer had a hilarious line about how Funk telling you that you’re his last is like the girl who tells you that you’re her first.

They should have done the match at those Smackdown tapings on Tuesday. It could have been sold as a tribute to the Empty Arena match.
