1/2/78 - US Heavyweight Title Change

Notes by Sam Finley

Blackjack Mulligan d Ricky Steamboat* - US Hvywt Title - (Will & Duncan's Title Histories list this change as taking place in 2/78 in Greensboro, but as you can see, Mulligan is listed as US Champ in the following weeks ad.)

Mr Wrestling d Baron Von Raschke* - NWA TV Title - Texas Death Match - Mr Wrestling defeated the Baron, but it was not in the first 15 minutes of the match, thus the title didn't change hands.
