peachchaos Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Terry Funk vs. Harley Race NWA World Heavyweight Championship - Toronto, ON February 6, 1977 Cut to a snapmare takedown by Race, who follows up with a knee drop. Race goes up top and Funk slams him down and then works the leg. Race escapes the spinning toe hold twice by raking the eyes. Race hits a huge suplex for a 2 count. Funk is up first and grabs a side headlock but works into a hammerlock and grabs the leg again. Harley again escapes the toehold and hits the kneebreaker followed by an Indian Deathlock. Funk is struggling but can't get out. Race clinches harder every time Funk tries to twist out. Eventually, Funk relents and submits the NWA World Championship to Harley Race. 4 minutes shown. Hard to say how good this whole match really is but these final few minutes are fantastic and the crowd is excited for a title change. I really like the idea that Funk going to for the toehold inspires Race to hit a kneebreaker and win with a leg lock of his own. *** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr JMML Posted May 13, 2023 Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 A very fun match from the feud of the year, Harley Race is the new NWA champion thanks to an Indian Deathlock. We only have 10 minutes but they aren't bad at all. GOOD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
