Posted December 24, 20186 yr comment_5873805 Curt Hennig defends the AWA World Title against Greg Gagne in this never before seen match. Verne Gagne and Larry Hennig are strapped to each other at ringside!!! Available on the Network, Vault, Hidden Gems, 1987. "AWA Christmas Night 1987". Talk about it here
December 27, 20186 yr comment_5874019 Verne and the Ax are strapped to each other. We have 3 refs plus the 2nd's. This screams shenanigans. Gagne on fire early. Hennig bumping big. Gagne has Curt's number early on. Hennig working the leg. Hennig with a toe hold. Gagne with a nasty bump, and Hennig locks on the Indian Death Lock. Gagne reverses. Hennig with kicks and knees, and dead kneeing the leg. A big miss by Hennig. Gagne starts to work the arm. I'm digging Gagne's arm work. Hennig turns the tide and is after the leg. Double noggin knocker. Punch exchange and a huge knee lift by Gagne. Big miss drop kick by Gagne. The seconds have a moment over Greg Gagne. Gagne trying to shake it off on the outside. Gagne fires up. Gagne sleeper. The seconds fight. Curt gets DQ'd in a shit finish. 3* Ring fills up post match. Hopefully their building to a cage match, or a tag team match.
