DAVE MELTZER ON THE LIFE AND TIMES OF HARLEY RACE

"While Harley Race was a main event star for a quarter-century, and one of the most respected wrestlers of his era, the key period of his career was from 1977 to 1981, as NWA world heavyweight champion. Race, because of the great job he had done in the seven week run in 1973, when he won the title for the most unusual of reasons, came one vote shy from getting the title when Jack Brisco wanted out at the end of 1975."
