Date Of Production
January 26 1951
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. This is part two of a championship match between Nature Boy Buddy Rogers and NWA champion Lou Thesz (first half is on 2008-04-0197). This brutal and drawn out match ends unsatisfactorily in a draw as neither wrestler is able to win a second hold.
