Loss Posted September 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 This is a title win, so the last one is probably the right one. I'll update with that info unless we're given a correction by someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul sosnowski Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 It's not a title win. Barend retains via countout. Listen to the commentary at 2:55 Also, the commentary refers to Barend winning the title recently in Cleveland. According to wrestling title histories, that was on 6/5/63 Cleveland. So this match is three days later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
