Abstract
An episode of a syndicated wrestling show shot at Chicago’s International Amphitheatre. Shot live on film with three-camera coverage, it features a witty and entertaining narration from announcer Russ Davis. Goelz defeats Hernandez with a spinning armlock in this match that is mostly played out in twister holds on the mat. Davis’ commentary ventures into some stereotypical impersonation of Hernandez.
