13 MAY 2024 · Series 2 - Episode 27 - The Death of the AWA In the early 80s, the AWA was the place to be. A talented roster that featured the future hall of famers of wrestling like Hogan, Hennig, Heenan and Bockwinkle, the promotion wasn't prepared for the aggressive expansion of Vince McMahon and the WWF. By the end of the decade, anyone with any star power had been snapped up by McMahon and taken to all new heights, and the AWA were left on the verge of bankruptcy and with a thin roster loyal to the Gagne's or of castaways unwanted by the WWF. In desperate efforts to fight their demise, the AWA tried a few different things, a new Team Challenge Series in front of green screen fans, as well as a show solely to put over Kellogg's in their fight with the General Mills! A bad corperate away to say the least but we can not let the AWA die without enjoying their demise and reviewing some of the strangest wrestling shows you are ever likely to see! We are Mad as hell and we are not gonna take it anymore, SOMEBODY HAS TO CALL CREATIVE!!
