Original Toronto Star caption: More than 16;000 Toronto wrestling fans crowded into Maple Leaf Gardens yesterday to cheer on their favorites in the 22-man Battle Royal tag-team match. As the top photo shows; the action was hot and heavy and when the dust settled; Ricky (The Dragon) Steamboat - at left putting a headlock on Mr. Fuji - was crowned the champion. Steamboat earlier teamed up with King Tonga to defeat world tag-team champs Greg Valentine and Brutus Beefcake.
