In Funk's Corner: Still more history of the NWA World Championship in St. Louis, as Dory Funk returns to St. Louis

Posted: May 15th 2011 By: CMBurnham

Wrestling from the Chase Park Plaza Hotel in St. Louis originally came from the Dinning Room. For the wrestling fans it was first class dinner and professional wrestling. Later we moved to the KPLR studio still inside the Chase Park Plaza Hotel.

Sam Muchnick ran a tight ship with Pat O'Connor as his booker laying down the rules before the show started. (Make it a contest, fight to keep your shoulders off the mat. No gimmicks and foreign objects, No fighting outside the ring).

Now on !BANG! TV at http://www.dory-funk.com - July 4th 1982 there were fireworks at Wrestling from the Chase Park Plaza Hotel in St. Louis Dory Funk Jr. with Ken Patera vs Ric Flair with Crusher Blackwell. (Commentary by Larry Matysik) Can Ric Flair abide by the rules?
