Toronto Ad: Funk vs. Race

This is the newspaper ad for the February 6, 1977 match where Harley Race defeated Terry Funk for the NWA world heavyweight championship at Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens.

Although former NWA champion Pat O'Conner is billed as special referee, he was not the referee in that match.

It is part of a great collection of clippings on the excellent Maple Leaf Wrestling Pictorial website spotlighting NWA title defenses in Toronto from 1950 - 1984.
