Karras weighs options after wrestling return and ban
Detroit Lions tackle Alex Karras, suspended indefinitely by Pete Rozelle for betting on NFL games, wrestled Dick the Bruiser in Detroit.

The match ended when referee Vern Clark halted the count as Karras fought off the Bruiser, who pinned him at 11 minutes 21 seconds.
