Abstract
An episode of a syndicated wrestling show shot at Chicago’s International Amphitheatre. Shot live on film with three-camera coverage, it features a witty and entertaining narration from announcer Russ Davis. The two wrestlers, both in their first time at the International Amphitheatre, are almost totally evenly matched making for a drawn out match without a lot of flair focusing on holds and not theatrics. Beitelman finally prevails with a shoulder stand hold on Hatcher.
