In the Foley's book he talks about how the end of the match was supposed to be much more climactic. Terry gets up and pushes the ladder over sending Cactus into the barbwire then collapses, Cactus crawls over and covers the Terry for the win.

The crowd was confused. It wasn't supposed to happen that way.

But, I think it was actually the best finish that Foley and Funk ever had with eachother. Terry Funk's last offense turned out to be his own finisher. This match was sort of Terry Funk passing the torch to one of his best friends.

In reality though, both men were so exhausted from the entire day of wrestling and unhealthy amount of blood loss that this was the only way they could end the match.
