For you, the day Harley Race and Terry Funk graced your venue was the most important day of your life. But for them, it was Friday. Friday, July 1st, 1977 to be exact.
It's a two out of three falls contest which sees NWA World's Heavyweight Champion Harley Race defending against the Texas' own Terry Funk. It isn't the first time these two titans have squared off, and it won't be their last. Not by a long shot. In a fight like this, with both men so familiar with one another, it truly feels like no man has the upper hand.
Importantly, active wrestler Nick Kozak has been chosen by the NWA booking committee as tonight's official. With his unique brand of referee, we're sure to get a definitive conclusion to this highly anticipated matchup.
And of course, occupying the guest's chair this week and looking resplendent in his TIA lab coat is Matt Morris!
