Cleveland Riot
Well since WepnerInoki went over so well...
Ox Baker turned a beat down into a riot in Clevelnd in 1974. Ox had the heart punch and Ernie Ladd was his victim. Not sure who the third guy in the
ring is.
A few things to watch:
The ring announcer trying to deflect flying chairs
how Ladd lays out in the ring until a chair hits his outstretched arm.
Then third dude taking a wicked punch before running down an aisle
Finally the guy in the hat holding the chair in the ring looking for a shot at Ox.
Just don't see this kind of heat any more...

I'll take a shot that the third guy is Johnny Powers, a Canadian tough guy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Powers_%28wrestler%29

I read something where Ox Baker basically blamed Ernie Ladd for selling it in such a way that it induced panic in the crowd. He said people were
chasing him through the stairwells with knives pulled.
I only signed up so I can read the forum.
