• ON THIS DAY IN WWF HISTORY (February 11, 1984) – WWF Wrestling At The Chase

On this day in 1984, the World Wrestling Federation aired another episode of their weekly TV show ‘WWF Wrestling At The Chase’.

The ‘Wrestling at the Chase’ TV show was originally associated with the ‘St. Louis Wrestling Club’ NWA territory, so they featured the NWA Wrestling Superstars, but in the fall of 1983, the TV station KPLR-TV (Channel 11) ended the relationship with the National Wrestling Alliance and started to negotiate a deal with the World Wrestling Federation, the promotion that ended up taking over the famous TV show.

This episode was pre-taped in St. Louis, Missouri and featured the 1984 WWF Superstars.

You can find the card below:

– Ivan Putski vs. Jerry Valiant

– Adrian Adonis & Dick Murdoch vs. James Burke & Craig Carson

– Big John Studd vs. Gilbert Guerrero

– Jimmy Snuka vs. Israel Matia

– Andre The Giant vs. Mr. Fuji

• Working With WWE In The Future Is Inevitable, Says UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones

During a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones (who has never been knocked out or submitted) was asked about the possibility of working with WWE in the future.

Below is what Jones said:

“I think it’s inevitable. I’ve always respected WWE, and I feel like the sports can be so similar.

I have the size and athleticism and the following to transition over really well. To get the opportunity to just show up, even as a special guest, would be a dream come true.”

For those who don’t know, Jones is the fighter who called out Brock Lesnar for a fight back in 2017.
