In Funks' Corner: NWA World Championship In St. Louis/Dory Funk, Jr. vs. Baron Von Raschke
Posted: May 13th 2011 By: CMBurnham
Baron Von Raschke worked the ?Sly Foreigner? part claiming to be from Germany, wearing the Iron Cross, doing the Goose Step and using the Brain Claw for a finish. The real Jim Raschke may have been even more imposing. Jim Raschke was a two time All American Amateur Wrestler from University of Nebraska.
Baron Von Raschke began his charge for the NWA World Title Match with a victory over Dory Funk, Jr. in a six man elimination tag team match on KPLR?s Wrestling from the Chase on January 30th, 1970. Dory Funk, Jr., Jack Brisco and Tommy Martin vs Baron Von Raschke, Crimson Knight and Roger Kirby. Brisco beat Kirby, Knight beat Martin and Raschke beat Funk. The 20 minute time limit expired leaving Brisco against Raschke and Knight.
February 20th, 1970, Kiel Auditorium (att. 11,077 Sellout) NWA World Champion, Dory Funk, Jr. beat Baron Von Raschke 2/3 falls. Whipper Billy Watson was the Special Referee.
Outside the ring I remember in the mid '80s, Marti and I drinking Coors draft beer with Dick Murdoch and Jim Raschke. Raschke kept making a toast to Marti and I, then finishing off his beer and slamming his glass to the table each time breaking the slender pedestal off his glass then ordering another in a new glass. And another in a new glass And another in a new glass etc. etc.
