NWA Champion Jack Brisco defending the coveted gold against Dick Slater.
Jack Brisco was one of the greatest champions EVER in the NWA and came out of Oklahoma State University early to get in to the pros after posting a undefeated, national championship season for the Cowboys. Not only was Jack silky smooth but no one screwed around with the tough as nails competitor at least if they had any brains. Jack and brother Jerry Brisco were also one of the greatest teams I ever saw…ever. At one time Dick Slater was as good as any one in the business before a serious car accident slowed down Dirty Dick. I assume this match was in Florida.

God, what memory (or perhaps lack thereof) will do to you. I saw this photo first without the caption. I recognized Dick Slater right off the bat, but my first guess at who his opponent was turned out to be Tully Blanchard, even though I didn't feel quite right about that.
