AWA Thread for 05/14/08

[Gertner]

After last nights amazing episode, many questions are left unanswered

How many times will Verne Gagne call a ddt a piledriver?

Will we see another classic Larry Nelson flipout and can it possibly top his flipout over Soldat Ustinov breaking a board? (you HAVE to see this shit on youtube, funniest thing ever)

Will the Infamous Dennis Stamp be booked once again?

Find out as another God awful edition of AWA airs 1am eastern on ESPN Classic

[Gertner]

Haven't gotten my Col DeBeers squash match in quite some time. Hopefully the racist Colonol makes an appearence.

[Gertner]

I watched the history of the AWA DVD last night, Was pretty good. Just wish there were some matches on it.

[Gertner]

lol most of the AWA matches are god awful. I mostly watch AWA for the commentary which makes mike adamle sound like gordon solie

[redoneja]

lol COLONEL DeBEERS!

I was watching an interview with Raven and told a DeBeers story about a match he worked with a young Brian Adams. He said that DeBeers brought a book to the ring that had the words "Job Book" on the cover. During the match DeBeers went outside the ring and started flipping through the book until he came to a certain page and then he began to study it. He then began making hand motions like he was practicing how to do a full nelson. Afterwards, he got into the ring and went right for a full nelson on Brian Adams, who immediately powered out. DeBeers quickly rolled out of the ring and went back to the book and began making hand motions like he was applying a full nelson in an attempt to see what went wrong. I would LOVE to find a clip of this, if one even exists.

[Gertner]

[Gertner]

[Gertner]

Tag Titles on the line tonight: The Rockers v Bad Company


Gonna be an AWESOME match

[redoneja]

Why do most Russian wrestlers use a backbreaker as their finish? I guess the same could be asked about Arab wrestlers and the camel clutch.

[redoneja]

LOOK OUT BARON VON RASCHKE

[Gertner]

lol i never get tired of seeing larry nelson flip out

[Gertner]

lol the louisville sleeper. lol omg baron von raschke singing take me out to the ballgame

[redoneja]

This is almost as bad as Herb Adam's UWF

[Gertner]

haha seriously, you people who aren't watching this are missing out on some awful greatness

[Gertner]

YESSSSSS!!!! DENNIS STAMP!

[redoneja]

DENNIS FUCKING STAMP

[redoneja]

I hope he's been jumping on that trampoline extra hard for this match.

[Gertner]

lol Robert Gibson missed his plane connection a.k.a did way too much coke and is too fucked up to wrestle

[redoneja]

Robert Gibson*

[redoneja]

DENNIS STAMP WITH THE JUDO CHOP

[Gertner]

Stamp jobs again :(. At least he was booked

[redoneja]

....but it's not enough for Stamp to pull out the victory

[Gertner]

lol look at the shades hennig is sporting

[redoneja]

lol Curt Hennig with the Stevie Wonder sunglasses

[Gertner]

ugh, a Greg Gagne match. So many flavours of bland.

[Gertner]

[Gertner]

btw I love how Verne Gagne created a title for his son to hold

[Gertner]

hahahahahahahaha botch pincount by Nickle

[Gertner]

lol friggen Ricky Morton looks higher than a kite

[Gertner]

I hate when they shows these classic matches because they never show the damn finish

[Vastardikai]

Gotta go see my Chiropractor!

[redoneja]

What blows my mind the most is that the live crowd ate train wrecks like this up and gave these matches tons of heat.

[Gertner]

lol the Baron is hulking up

[Vastardikai]

Double Claw!

[Gertner]

wow, they actually showed the finish. hoe the hell did the ref not see this.

oh god, the Big K

[Gertner]

lol which federation would Greg Gagne be a champion. Nice shoot on Greg and Verne btw.

[Vastardikai]

Well, Randy Orton is a Three Time WWE Champion. And he's cut from the same mold as Greggles.

[Gertner]

This should be AWESOME Bad Company vs Midnight Rockers.

[redoneja]

Did I just here NON-TITLE?

[Gertner]

lol why didn't that little kid have a shirt on

[Gertner]

This better not be the match they showed two days ago.

[Vastardikai]

Bad Company aka the Orient Express Mark 2.

Shawn Michaels and Marty Janetty coming out to "Living after Midnight." Adds a bit to the HBGay lines.

[redoneja]

It'll be interesting to contrast this match to the one they had at Royal Rumble 1991.

[Vastardikai]

Stagger Lee on commentary!

[redoneja]

Not gonna lie, I always liked Pat Tanaka.

[redoneja]

YOU COULD COUNT TO 100!

[Gertner]

This is a great match except THEY JUST SHOWED THIS FUCKING MATCH TWO DAYS AGO!!!!!!! stupid AWA.

Larry Nelson has a great flip out post match.

[Vastardikai]

the announcers don't even call the weapon shot...

[redoneja]

WTF Bad Company pins the champs but are still only the #3 Contenders?

[Gertner]

didn't get my amazing Verne Gagne commentary or Col DeBeers squash. Ah well.

[Gertner]

WTF Bad Company pins the champs but are still only the #3 Contenders?

......yea, but if Greg Gagne were in any other promotion, he'd be their world champion. Even if Savage was champ in WWF at the time and Flair was (probably) champ in the NWA at the time.....I'm sure Greg Gagne could've squashed them. :shifty:

[Loose Cannon]

I wish I had classic.
