#thursday #ThrowbackThursday Back to 1973 with NWA World Heavyweight champion Jack Brisco. Brisco defeated Harley Race for the title on July 20, 1973 in Houston, TX. However the man Harley beat for the title, Dory Funk Jr., claims he should either be declared the rightfully champion or be first in line for a title opportunity with new champion Jack Brisco. Brisco is here to set the record straight that he's open for Funk's challenge. Brisco and Funk would have some fantastic bouts for the title
