Brisco adds a major ME Face for us, and brings a real aura around him. The man is a NCAA Wrestling Legend having won an NCAA title his Junior Year in 1965 without being taken down once. Obviously his amateur credentials are very large, its his pro-wrestling credentials that matter most. He came to be one of the Main men for the NWA in the 70s with some massive feuds that drew money in both North America and Japan. In fact, in having Brisco, we have a massive built in feud with Terry Funk, as Brisco dropped the title to Funk in 1975. Brisco held the NWA World Heavyweight title on 2 occasions totaling up to 867 days
