Title: Aske would appreciate it. Post by: MFAWG on June 23, 2008, 08:00:35 PM ESPN Classic has been showing AWA wrestling from the late 80's at 10:00PM Pacific, and I have to say the last week has been outstanding.
I RockandRoll Express, Midnight Rockers, Michael PS Hayes (of the Fabulous Freebirds) Wahoo McDaniel, Col. DeBeers, a very young Curt Hennig, Sheri Martel, Medusa Mecelli, the list goes on and on. It was the swan song independent promotion, the last stand of Kayfabe. Title: Re: Aske would appreciate it. Post by: Aske on June 23, 2008, 08:34:57 PM i record it almost nightly.
Title: Re: Aske would appreciate it. Post by: MFAWG on June 23, 2008, 08:38:35 PM I'll click over to see what's up. Usually it's some jobber putting over the talent, but the last week has had a couple of really good Manny Fernandez (who I saw 'Don The Crimson Mask live back in the old WCW days) Wahoo matchups, and a classic Ronny Garvin foreign object bit.
Good stuff! Oops, almost forgot: Always good to see 'Easy Ed Wisoski', aka Col. Debeers in action. Dutch Savages last championship tag team partner, IIRC. Title: Re: Aske would appreciate it. Post by: MFAWG on June 24, 2008, 10:35:42 PM MICK FOLEY TONIGHT!!!!
Title: Re: Aske would appreciate it. Post by: MFAWG on July 01, 2008, 09:35:10 PM LMAO, 'Adorable Adrian Adonis' did about 1.5 minutes tonight, from 1987 when he was as tall as Hobbit and outweighed Andre the giant.

Title: Re: Aske would appreciate it. Post by: MFAWG on July 01, 2008, 09:41:44 PM Dude, Bockwinkle was on last night with Larry Zybysko. Bockwinkle KOed Zybysko with a roll of dimes (infamous story line from the old AWA).
Now THAT was Wrassling! Title: Re: Aske would appreciate it. Post by: Fuzzy on July 01, 2008, 09:47:53 PM Dude, Bockwinkle was on last night with Larry Zybysko. Bockwinkle KOed Zybysko with a roll of dimes (infamous story line from the old AWA). Now THAT was Wrassling! [sm_thumbsup2] [sm_headbang] AWA rocked. I remember watching it as a kid. Bockwinkel, Zybysko, Ray "the Crippler" Stevens, Mad Dog Vachon, Baron Von Raschke, Jerry Blackwell, Sheik Adnan El Kassey, Buck Zumhofe.......Jesse "the Body" Ventura....and a young Hulk Hogan and .............. plus who could forget Mean Gene Okerlund at the mic. Classic classic stuff. Title: Re: Aske would appreciate it. Post by: gleek on July 01, 2008, 09:49:04 PM What was up with Adonis' feminine schtick? I remember when he was just a tub of lard, tag teaming with future Minnesota gubner Ventura. Then he became a lipstick-wearing, flower-toting, tub of lard, and it really freaked me out.
