Piper was an extremely intelligent, quick-witted guy who is one of the all-time great talkers in pro-wrestling...but...just my opinion...the cocaine took his interviews to another level![video=youtube_share;-Ot46WmL9hY]http://youtu.be/-Ot46WmL9hY[/video]
I grew up in Minneapolis and have been to a couple AWA matches, way back in the day. A lot ofHahaha Missing Link was awesome! That's how I rock my hair same as the Link! Jk bro jk...
They got AWA and UWF on Espn Classics right now and there ain't much "classic" in either of them! Don't get me wrong, AWA had their glory days but it sure as fuck wasn't in 1990 right before they went outta business!
Yup, Vince Jr. raided all the territories of their top talent when he devised his plan to take over the entire wrestling world...don't forget the biggest score, Hulk Hogan. Hulkamania started in the AWA. Verne Gagne trained more future stars than almost anyone.I grew up in Minneapolis and have been to a couple AWA matches, way back in the day. A lot of
the guys who made it big in the WWF came from the AWA. Mean Gene Okerlund came from the AWA, also.
Kamala was one of Jerry Lawler's gimmicks that he came up with in his Memphis territory and it was one of his better ones.kamala the ugandan giant. remember him? lol
I was a hulkamaniac at one time. eating my vitamins and saying my prayers lmao
Jesse was pretty cool in the AWA days when he teamed up with Adrian Adonis as the East-West Connection. But then, anybody who beat up Verne's son Greg Gagne was pretty cool in my books!I remember a time when I thought Jesse Ventura was pretty cool. LOL!
after that it was all about the facepaint and tassles on the biceps huh, lolKamala was one of Jerry Lawler's gimmicks that he came up with in his Memphis territory and it was one of his better ones.
I remember my grandpa bought me n' my bro and my cuz some Hulkamania weights and headbands for us for christmas when we were like 5 and 6...we were Hulkamaniacs...till Warrior showed up haha...
And all their imitators, Warlord and Barbarian the Powers of Pain and the worst rip-offs of all Ax and Smash of Demolition.after that it was all about the facepaint and tassles on the biceps huh, lol
speaking of face paint, how can we forget to leave out the road warriors, hawk and animal.
I hated Greg and The High Flyers.Jesse was pretty cool in the AWA days when he teamed up with Adrian Adonis as the East-West Connection. But then, anybody who beat up Verne's son Greg Gagne was pretty cool in my books!
Greg Gagne was a horrible wrestler! You think he would have tried harder considering his legendary father.
I have no beefs with "Jumpin" Jim Brunzell, he went on to be one of the "Killer Bees" in WWF, but, Greg Gagne was absolutely horrible! Did he have some kinda allergy to lifting weights? Even a straight-up "white meat babyface" needs to have a little bit of edge to him like he could kick some ass when needed... Who's ass was Greg ever gonna kick?I hated Greg and The High Flyers.
