HIDDEN GEM: Two Of The Great Ones

I guess this will do if you’re in for a dream match for the NWA World Title.

NWA World Title: Harley Race vs. Jack Brisco
Date: August 12, 1978
Location: Bayfront Center, St. Petersburg, Florida

Well if you insist. Race is defending and this is from Championship Wrestling From Florida. We’re going to have a lot of clipping here and don’t actually hear the opening bell. Race bails into the corner but Brisco hammers away and throws him over the top, which is usually a DQ in the NWA but doesn’t seem to be the case here. The ring announcer reminds us that this is No DQ so there’s your answer.

Back in and Race hits a headbutt to set up a front facelock to slow things down. We’re clipped to Brisco fighting up but Race drives him down again. We’re clipped again to Race still working on the same hold and even hanging on as Brisco grabs a fireman’s carry. The camera stays on the referee for some reason until Brisco punches the leg to escape.

Race is down and we’re clipped to Brisco yelling at the referee and hammering away at Race in the corner. The Figure Four goes on and we get the four minute call (it’s a 60 minute time limit and we’ve barely seen six minutes so that is some serious clipping) but Race turns it over. Brisco turns over (with Race still facing down) and kicks him in the ribs with three minutes left.

A belly to back suplex drops Race for a second, followed by a collision for a double knockdown (with Race doing the slow motion fall). Race goes up top with two minutes left but gets slammed down. Brisco hits a dropkick and grabs the Figure Four with a minute left but Race is in the ropes in a hurry. A backbreaker gives Brisco two and he grabs a rollup as time expires at about 10:00 shown of 60:00. Way too much clipping to rate but there is a reason that these people are as revered as they are. You could see the great match in there and the ending had some drama. Watch as much of these two as you can find.
