Since Meents and Koberna are not listed in the round one pairings, it's safe to assume that Meents defeated Koberna in round one, and that Porter defeated a third fastest loser in round two.

Yeah, that wing was crushed. I remember being in my seat watching Meents flip the '95 Chevy and exclaiming, "Awesome!" My mom was scared and said, "Oh my God, he might be hurt." But right after she said that, Tom emerged from the shackled Chevy and raised his arms in the air, reassurring the Irving crowd that he was okay. (I had bought the video Grave Digger: Domination a few weeks earlier and saw the safety segment, so I knew that M/Ts had a lot of safety gear inside, but I never informed her about it until she watched it with me a week after the show.)
As for the winner, Dan Runte and 'FOOT. I cheered him on from round one all the way up to the finals. Grave Digger impressed me, but I'd been a Bigfoot fan since I was a little boy. That wheelie he did across the stadium floor was the bomb!
