I like the Indian death lock. Once its locked on in the middle of the ring, there's no where to run. You can't reverse it like the figure 4. I wish it was used more today.
Legend has it that Harley Race said that Terry Funk was his toughest opponent. Somehow I believe it because he was a tough man. Dusty Rhodes and Ric Flair knew it too. The only person at that time ranked up to Terry Funk was Blackjack Mulligan.
Actually, don't forget that Flair has admitted to stealing the chopping routine from Funk. Also, I'm guessing that Whipper Billy Watson was one of the announcers. He was a legend in Toronto, so it hardly mattered if he sucked as an announcer.
If I recall, footage of this match was sent around to numerous other territories at the time to air on their television shows, which is why this is such good quality in spite of its age. Even the WWE has it in their present-day library.

Harley Race is great! He kicks his own ass, making his opponent look great. Shoulda been Harley vs. Hulk in WrestleMania I!

I have to agree, this is some horrible officiating.

@msmith42001 I think that Harley Race was the toughest NWA world champion ever!

Worst ref counting ever. Commentary is garbage too. Match is good though. It's strange to see a chop with no Whooooooo.
