01/08/66 Chicago, IL International Amphitheatre
Gene Kiniski beat Dick the Bruiser- Kiniski had won the NWA title from Lou Thesz the night before in St Louis, Missouri. Bruiser had defeated Kiniski for the WWA title on 12/25/65 in Indianapolis, Indiana. So in essence this was the NWA champion defeating the WWA champion. Kiniski and Bruiser had been feuding over the WWA title throughout the second half of 1965. This was Kiniski's last Chicago appearance as Chicago became an AWA city later in 1966 and Kiniski was on the road defending the NWA belt in NWA cities.
