Watching from their classic section. Starting at the beginning of Wrestling From The Chase.
Classic St. Louis Wrestling Vol 1
Starts with a few matches with King Kong Brody aka Bruiser Brody. I think his semi kitty routine (licking his paw post match) would have been a hit with the young generation these days. Then it was a dick fight as Dick the Bruiser defended his title against Dick Murdoch. Followed by a match between Murdoch and Pat O'Connor. Then a bunch of clips involving guys like Harley Race and Terry Funk. Most matches are stars against enhancement talent as common during late 70s.
Of interest they pronounce Ted DiBiase with a silent E. In his last name not the first.
EDIT: I forgot to mention Ric Flair had a match but don't remember against who as I was distracted by the time traveler in the crowd. Not sure what she was doing but it looked like she was talking on a cell phone.
Ted had a tag match with someone who at first I thought was an Owen Hart clone. He didn't get in for awhile and I thought they called him Lawn Dart. I finally realized it was Paul Orndorff.
