Coming out Nov 21st

"Spectacular Legacy of the AWA" DVD has been completed. There is a one hour 45 minute documentary focusing on Verne Gagne. It's more about the later years, talking about Hulk Hogan, the Superclash shows. Featured on interviews are Jim Brunzell, Michael Hayes, Baron Von Raschke, Greg Gagne, Eric Bischoff and Nick Bockwinkel. The match listing is:

I havn't seen too much of the AWA, so I might pick this up, just so I can see what it was all about.

Does anybody know if this was the same match that was put on Shawn Michaels: From the Vault DVD? If it was I thought it was a pretty good tag team match.
