Meeting Location: St. Louis, Missouri (Chase-Park Plaza Hotel) Meeting Dates: August 22-24, 1969 Officers: President: Sam Muchnick (reelected) 1st Vice President: Paul Jones (reelected) 2nd Vice President: Junzo Hasegawa (Yoshino Sato) Membership Roster: In publicity about the 1969 NWA Convention, Junzo Hasegawa was billed as "Yoshino Sato," where the proper spelling is "Yoshinosato." He was the President of the Japan Pro Wrestling association (JWA). During the convention, an NWA-wide resolution was adopted that disqualified any wrestler who deliberately threw his opponent over the top rope. NWA "agents" were going to be in attendance in various territories to make sure this new rule was enforced. Muchnick notified members that if they weren't enforced, "someone will be fined."
