We go back to the WWWF to see that Bruno Sammartino is now holding the belt and in his way is Killer Kowalski. This match is joined in progress, though it's not as bad as the Kininski/Funk Jr. match. The pace of this match is awfully slow. It made it really hard to get into this match at all for me. Both men, for the most part, seemed to be going at half speed.
These two mostly brawl, with Kowalski having the advantage throughout most of the match that is shown. Sammartino does get cut open after repeated biting and punches from Kowalski. This does fire up Sammartino as he finally brings the fight back to the challenger, but for some reason the match is thrown out and declared a draw. No reason given as to why it was a draw, the time of the match was something like 24:35, so I am certain it wasn't a time limit draw. More than likely it was thrown out due to the referee not being able to gain control of the bout after Sammartino made his come back. Bruno does hang onto the WWWF Championship though.
My Grade: C
Slow pacing and weird ending.
