Amarillo, Texas:  Thursday, October 2, 1958
(Sports Arena) … Dory Funk Sr. b. Dick Hutton to capture the NWA World Heavyweight
Title (2/3) (Funk forced Hutton to submit to his spinning toehold) (Hutton claimed that he
threw Funk over the top rope before submitting, and should have been disqualified)
(Doug Donovan knocked out referee “Big Train” Clements during the match) … World
Tag Team Champions Mike DiBiase and Art Nelson b. Larry Chene and Ricky Romero
(2/3) … Kathy Starr b. Helen Hild (10:30) … Ali Bey b. Al Kashey (11:15) … Doug
Donovan b. Bad Boy Hines (15-seconds) … (promoter:  Karl Sarpolis)
Note:  According to the Amarillo Daily News, the Texas State Athletic Commission was
going to meet “early next week in Dallas” to determine whether Funk was the new
champion or not.

*On Tuesday, October 7, 1958, members of the Texas State Wrestling Commission met in
Dallas and refused to rule on the dispute between Funk and Hutton, and because of that,
Hutton was still recognized as World Champion.  Officials stated that Funk needed to take
up the issue with the National Wrestling Alliance Grievance Committee, if he wanted to
appeal.
