  vs The Fantastics (WCW 4/29/1995) This is interesting because Eaton has a real history with The Fantastics, having gone up against them with Stan Lane in 1988 in a feud that pretty much defines that year of JCP TV.

The second fall is a DQ, but that's a simple formality because that cause everything to fall apart, and the teams are brawling on the outside. That's all we get because ...
