Referee Mike Mazurki ruled that Nomellini won the National Wrestling Alliance title while lying flat of his back out of the ring, but Thesz howled, "I'm standing up, so how can I lose my title?" Thesz took the first fall of the match in 28:59 when he re versed an arm lock by the 250 pound Nomellini, but the chal lenger bounced back to take the second fall with a series of fly ing tackles, the last of which knocked the 222-pound cham pion from the ring. Nomellini won the final fall when he hit Thesz with a flying tackle that carried both men out of the ring. Thesz returned to the canvas first and twice kicked Nomellini off the ring apron as the challenger at tempted to return. Mazurki dis qualified Thesz for his action. Thesz and his manager, Ed (Strangler) Lewis disputed N'om ellini's new claim to the cham pionship and claimed that under National Wrestling alliance rules a championship cannot change hands by disqualification.
