Granted, today\u2019s creative team probably had no idea that this had been done before, but scanning through the St. Louis results will demonstrate a few moments when Muchnick changed or made a match on TV to further an angle. Because it was not over done, it meant something when it happened and usually led to a big gate. In fact, some of the 90-minute programs and usage of mid-level talent against stars very much resembles what happened on WWE television at times in the 2000s.)<\/p>\n<p>11\/5\/65 \u2013 Kiel Auditorium (Attendance: 6989)<br \/>\nPat O\u2019Connor defeated Moose Cholak<br \/>\nDick the Bruiser won a handicap match from Dory Funk Sr. and Jr. 1-Bruiser beat Sr., whipping Sr. into Jr. when Jr. got on the apron to urge his father on. 2-Bruiser defeated Jr. via DQ when Jr. hit Bruiser over the head with a chair.<br \/>\nWilbur Snyder defeated Mongolian Stomper<br \/>\nGene Kiniski and Bobby \u201cHercules\u201d Graham defeated Joe Tangaro and Bobby Managoff. 1-Graham defeated Managoff. 2-Managoff defeated Graham. 3-Kiniski defeated Tangaro.<br \/>\nAs Wilbur Snyder entered ring for his bout with Stomper, Kiniski also attacked Snyder.<br \/>\nSonny Myers defeated Corsica Joe<br \/>\nAngelo Poffo defeated Francisco Rios<\/p>\n<p>11\/6\/65 &#8211; &#8220;Wrestling at the Chase&#8221;<br \/>\nMoose Cholak defeated Kenny Mack<br \/>\nBobby Managoff defeated Johnny Long<br \/>\nDick the Bruiser won two straight falls from Francisco Rios<br \/>\nGene Kiniski defeated Gus Kalas<br \/>\nHercules Graham defeated Paul Rica<\/p>\n<p>11\/13\/65 \u2013 &#8220;Wrestling at the Chase&#8221;<br \/>\nCowboy Bill Watts draw Hercules Graham<br \/>\nRita Cortez and Cora Combs defeated Kathy O\u2019Brien and Jessica Rogers. 1-Rogers beat Combs. 2-Combs defeated O\u2019Brien. 3-Cortez defeated Rogers.<br \/>\nFritz Von Erich defeated Angelo Poffo<br \/>\nJohnny Powers defeated Lee Henning<\/p>\n<p>11\/19\/65 \u2013 Kiel Auditorium (Attendance: 10,106)<br \/>\nPat O\u2019Connor defeated Dick the Bruiser<br \/>\nFritz Von Erich won a Texas Death Match by defeating Johnny Powers<br \/>\nGene Kiniski and Hercules Graham defeated Sonny Myers and Bobby Managoff. 1-Myers defeated Graham. 2-Kiniski defeated Managoff via DQ. 3-Kiniski defeated Myers.<br \/>\nCowboy Bill Watts defeated Johnny Long<br \/>\nAngelo Poffo draw Moose Cholak<br \/>\nThor Hagen defeated Joe Tomasso<\/p>\n<p>11\/20\/65 \u2013 &#8220;Wrestling at the Chase&#8221;<br \/>\nBob Brown defeated Chris Belkas<br \/>\nPat O\u2019Connor, Guy Mitchell and Thor Hagen defeated Joe Tomasso, Hercules Graham and Gene Kiniski. 1-O\u2019Connor defeated Graham. 2-Graham defeated Mitchell. 3-O\u2019Connor beat Tomasso.<br \/>\nJoe Tangaro draw Lee Henning<br \/>\nCowboy Bill Watts defeated Joe Tomasso<\/p>\n<p>11\/27\/65 \u2013 &#8220;Wrestling at the Chase&#8221;<br \/>\nLee Henning draw Gus Kalas<br \/>\nVictor Rivera defeated Danny Dusek<br \/>\nCowboy Bill Watts defeated Tor Kamata two straight falls when Kamata could not answer the bell for the second fall<br \/>\nHercules Graham defeated Dale Bennett<br \/>\nRay Gordon defeated Frank Altman<\/p>\n<p>12\/3\/65 \u2013 Kiel Auditorium (Attendance: 8698) (A \u201cSuper Spectacular\u201d to celebrate Sam Muchnick\u2019s 20 anniversary as promoter)<br \/>\nGene Kiniski defeated Pat O\u2019Connor<br \/>\nFritz Von Erich defeated Cowboy Bill Watts<br \/>\nJudy Grable, Cora Combs and Betty White defeated Mae Goodson, Jessica Rogers and Kathy O\u2019Brien. 1-O\u2019Brien defeated Combs. 2-Combs defeated Rogers. 3-Grable defeated Goodson.<br \/>\nDick the Bruiser and Bobby Managoff both counted out outside the ring<br \/>\nDory Funk Sr. and Dory Funk Jr. defeated Hercules Graham and Lee \u201cBulldog\u201d Henning. 1-Sr. won via DQ. 2-Jr. defeated Henning.<br \/>\nMoose Cholak defeated Gus Kalas<br \/>\nCorsica Joe defeated Chief Little Bear<\/p>\n<p>12\/4\/65 \u2013 &#8220;Wrestling at the Chase&#8221;<br \/>\nThe Viking defeated Gus Kalas<br \/>\nVictor Rivera defeated Bulldog Henning via DQ<br \/>\nJoe Tangaro draw Hercules Graham, each winning one fall within the 30-minute limit<br \/>\nCowboy Bill Watts defeated Corsica Joe<br \/>\nDale Bennett and Danny Dusek draw<\/p>\n<p>12\/11\/65 \u2013 &#8220;Wrestling at the Chase&#8221;<br \/>\nCowboy Bob Ellis defeated Johnny Long<br \/>\nDory Funk Jr. defeated Corsica Joe<br \/>\nThe Masked Marauders no contest against Guy Mitchell and Bobby Managoff. 1-Managoff defeated Marauder #1. 2-Marauder #2 defeated Mitchell.
