In Funk's Corner: NWA World Championship in St. Louis Dory Funk Jr. vs. Dick The Bruiser
Posted: May 12th 2011 By: mikeiles
On December 5th 1969, Dick The Bruiser was a huge babyface as He won a Texas Death Match over Black Jack Lanza with Bobby Heenan in Lanza?s corner.
January 9, 1970 Kiel Auditorium, (att. 11,434 Sellout) Dory Funk, Jr, NWA World Champion won over Dick The Bruiser. Bruiser took the first fall and appeared to have a three count on Funk for a second straight fall before referee Joe Schoenberger saw Bruiser using the ropes. The referee reversed the decision and disqualified Bruiser for the second fall. Bruiser went berserk, punched Shoengerger, hit Funk with a chair and was then disqualified for the third fall and the match. Afterward, Athletic Commissioner Eddie Davidson suspended Bruiser indefinitely.
(Larry Matysik?s thoughts ? Fans in 2007 and 2008 talk about the mixed reaction to John Cena, but this one was completely unique. Dory Funk, Jr. was a favorite, and The Bruiser definitely was the ?People?s Choice,? especially after his fued against Lanza and Heenan. The crowd was totally split, in a constant uproar, and completely beside themselves when Dick?s outburst led to his disqualification).
