September 11, 20187 yr Author comment_5866127 This is a title win, so the last one is probably the right one. I'll update with that info unless we're given a correction by someone.
September 11, 20187 yr comment_5866128 It's not a title win. Barend retains via countout. Listen to the commentary at 2:55 Also, the commentary refers to Barend winning the title recently in Cleveland. According to wrestling title histories, that was on 6/5/63 Cleveland. So this match is three days later.
