Man this is getting crazy lately with all the wrestling deaths. Buddy was one of those guys I didn't appreciate how good he was until about 10 years ago. RIP

(24 SMOKIN HOT *MUST-SEE* Pics)!" - is like something from a 1996 "newz" site. Good God! Lol. No that isn't my site. I only go on there due to it being mobile friendly. They basically just post what Dave or Keller say anyway.

1983 World Class was pretty awesome. Solid matches,great angles and superior production compared to other promotions at the time.

Just got back from vacation to hear about this. Another great one gone too soon.

International Amphitheatre in Chicago.

I have to agree with Wade here. They just don't have the longevity despite being a great underrated team.

I'm pretty confident they'll be in my top ten.

Damn this sucks. 54 is way too young. It was cool to hear him on Austin's podcast last year. The Fantastics were truly one of the great tag teams.

First time for Chicago as well and ROH has had live shows here for quite a long time. This should be interesting.

The Road Warriors would be my favorite. I don't consider them the best or anything, just my favorite. From the first time I saw them in a magazine during their Georgia run they just looked so different and cool to a 10 year old kid. Once they came to the AWA and I was able to see them on TV they instantly became my favorites ( High Flyers were prior). The muscles, face paint, spiked collars, haircuts, being billed from Chicago were all reasons I loved them. Their interviews were also a thing of beauty. Nothing like a good Roadies squash either. Those were and still are a blast to watch.

Create a football team using 80's wrestlers. Maybe just use the JCP roster or the AWA. Since time might be an issue, try just the offense or the defense.

I feel the same way. Hopefully I will get a chance to give it a listen either today or tomorrow.

I compare it to a modern version of NFL bloopers. Just not my cup of tea, although I can see the appeal.

I agree. Why buy the Mid-South/UWF library and not showcase it? How would they know how many people don't subscribe due to the lack of old footage unless they add more? What does it hurt by adding more of it? Makes zero sense unless it really is a space issue.

It might of been Steamboat or Flair I can't remember, that mentioned Verne wanted 10% for their first five years in the business no matter the territory they went. I think they said only Brunzell complied. Verne certainly will be missed.

RIP to Verne Gagne. I grew up as an AWA fan and have many fond memories of Verne and the AWA. Sad to hear of this,but glad to see his struggles of Alzheimers is over for him and his family.

The Missing Link. What a difference from Dewey Robertson. The guy totally reinvented himself. He used his head as a battering ram 90% of the time and used very few other moves. He bought into it and so did I.

I always liked the Flair "Fire and Ice" video. The Kerry "Eye of the Tiger" was a favorite as a kid. When I watched it again about 15 years go with my wife it was embarrassing as hell with him riding a horse shirtless in slow motion. Foley had a good one to some Stain song about a decade ago.

The entire ECW Anarchy Rulz 99 show. Live this show was off the charts. It was my first ECW show and I went with a big group. Every match seemed great. Watching it a few days later it just didn't have the same vibe at all and the matches seemed average at best.

I regret not going to AWA Superclash 85. I was twelve and my dad wasn't to keen on bringing a twelve yr old into that neighborhood.

Tag team wrestling from the 80's and early 90's. Mid-South house show matches from the SHC. AWA studio interviews. Wrestling magazines from the 80's. WCCW opening drum beat. Podcasts.
