Match #2 Feb. 11, 1969 Championship Wrestling from Florida, Gene Kininski vs Dory Funk Jr., NWA World Heavyweight Championship

This was disappointing. Not the match, but the fact that the match was clipped very badly, which I was unaware of. The total match time is 3:57. And feature about three moves, body slam, sunset flip, and the Funk spinning toe hold. Kininski would submit to the Funk spinning toe hold to lose the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. On the documentary of the dvd, Kininski blamed a mental lapse, thinking that the match was two out of three falls. I really wish this was a whole match, but I guess they could only do with the footage they had.

My Grade: N/A
Not enough footage to give an effective grade here.
