Rating:  - An Absolute Must For A Pro Wrestling Fan
With 13 matches spanning nearly 20 years, along with interviews with many of the stars - Verne Gagne and his son, Greg, Hulk Hogan, Baron Von Raschke, Bobby Heenan, "Mean" Gene Okerlund and Nick Bockwinkel - the two-DVD set is an important addition to the video library of any wrestling fan.

Rating: - AWA: The Early Innovators Of Pro Wrestling
Admittedly, I was quite ignorant of the AWA prior to purchasing it. What I knew of it was from about the mid-80's onto its end. I wasn't impressed by it as a young man but now that I've seen a good portion of its history thanks to this release, I have a new appreciation of what that league meant to this industry.
My eyes widened at all the stars that were grown there. I knew of Verne Gange, Greg Gange, Curt Hennig, Larry "The Ax" Hennig, Nick Bockwinkle, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, the ... Read More
Rating:  - A great documentary on the AWA
Those who aren't too familiar with the history on older wrestling organizations should check this out if your a fan. It doesn't matter if your a fan of "wrestling" or "sports entertainment".

The AWA is responsible for some of the most legenadary figures to ever step into the business. Its a whos who list of the performers who got there start and ... Read More
Rating: - Great retrospective look at AWA
To my knowledge, this is the only authorized look at the AWA's history. The documentary included on disc one is pretty thorough and interesting.
It's a bonus that they included matches as well on disc two (as well as the bonus material, of course).
I remember watching many AWA events when I was a child here in the San Francisco bay area at the Cow Palace, etc.
Here's hoping that in the future they release more AWA material with more matches, etc.
Definitely ... Read More
Rating: - A Real Eye Opener
I watch them in Wrestlemania, Summer Slam, Survivor series and the Royal rumble. However, where did these wrestlers come from and how did they get started? Just like any other profession, before you make it to the big leagues you have to pay your dues somewhere. The AWA Wrestling association so you how the wrestlers got there start and the dues that they had to paid to before making it big in the WWF. Sergeant Slaughter and Jerry Blackwell take on the Road Warriors Hawk and Animal for the AWA Tag Team Championship. ... Read More
