  1. This is what I have for Gordy in 1985. 60 5(全) 85激震 60 8(全) 85決戦 60 10(全) ワールド・チャンピオン・カーニバル、 60 11(ジ) ニューウェーブ・イン・ジャパン(残留)
  2. There were shows if not every year almost every year that they wouldn't show. All MSG shows were carried live I think.
  3. Gordy was touring All-Japan a good bit in 1985 as well so there was that. Yeah I always got the feeling from watching AWA back then that the East Coast reacted better to the Birds than the AWA traditional cities then. Butch Reed left AWA due to drug issues from what I've heard and the fact that Verne wasn't the friendliest to black wrestlers. Why not go with Zbyszko for a run with Martel, Larry had good heat then.
  4. Why not give Gordy & Hayes the titles, they were one of the best teams in the world in the fans eyes at that point and at least transition the belts over to a babyface team they could get ready. AWA's booking killed them just as much as Hogan & WWF did that's for sure but Greg Gagne sure won't admit that.
  5. Great numbers jdw, AWA was still very strong at their homebase until it started falling in late 85 and into 86 where it would nosedive later in the year. It also makes a case for Hansen's drawing power as champion as well as Martel was a stronger draw.
  6. Yeah I would think so.
  7. I'm going to revisit this one as Crockett entered the fray soon afterwards.

  15. Maybe you can chalk that up to Savage being a hot wrestler at that time. I remember everyone being in awe of Savage at that time because there was no one in the WWF working like him plus he had Elizabeth who there wasn't anyone who looked like that in that company either. Hogan/Savage did big business everywhere it went and it makes you wonder why they didn't go harder nationwide with it.
  16. Well look at what the AWA was offering up on their Thanksgiving competition show with Blackwell vs. Hayes and the annual battle royal on top. Hogan vs. Savage will smoke that one everytime.
  17. God it is hilarious listening to Dave & Chico get so angry at the RAW show last night.
  18. Yeah he was going to Ventura but he got hurt so he ended up with Studd.
  19. Poor Okerlund and Meltz.

  24. Too bad it wasn't a UFC DVD.
  25. On some tape I have I remember there being spanish language advertisements for a New York Outlaw group that was running with Backlund v (I want to say) Graham as co -main with Colon v Tully and there may have been an Abby match too. do you have any idea who ran that and if it was before or after this experiment? PWUSA doesn't use Colon again till the December show and their in a match placed low on the card. They don't use Invader again either. -Oh yeah early twenties Maeda v 50+ Candians amuses me. That was part of the paid shows with Crockett & WWC talent w/Backlund in high schools and old WWF small buildings from 84-85.
