NWA World Championship
Bruno Sammartino vs. Terry Funk (Champion) 
This is a “Clash of the Titans”. Bruno Sammartino is a former WWWF Champion. He would love to add the NWA Title to his trophy case. Terry Funk, despite predictions, has held the World Title since the inception of NWA Classics. The crowd here at Kezar Stadium is on the edge of their seats. The introductions are made and the tension is thick. Both men circle one another wearily. They lock up and Bruno grabs a side headlock. Funk tries to shoot him into the ropes, but Bruno holds on. Funk tries everything, but Bruno is sharp and his strength is too much for Funk. Terry tries another route and goes to the roughhouse tactics. This works for a time, but Bruno matches him blow for blow. It looks like the World Title will change hands. Bruno whips Funk into the corner. Terry hits the turnbuckles hard and staggers out. Bruno slaps on the bearhug. This be will it! Funk fights it as Bruno tightens his grip. Terry is almost out. Funk summons enough energy to rake the eyes and Sammartino releases the hold. The World Champion is still in trouble. There is a commotion in the aisle. Ben Justice comes to ringside. He watches for a few minutes. Bruno continues to dominate the action. Justice jumps up on the ring apron and yells at Sammartino. Bruno turns to yell back. This allows Funk to roll him up from behind. The referee counts three. Funk and Justice high-tail it to the back. The crowd and Bruno are livid.
Winner-Terry Funk (26:31)
