As officially proxied by Cross Face Chicken Wing, the AWA drafts Jeff Van Camp.

Is anyone going to take over All Japan?

The AWA has 2 big cards coming up for the holiday weekends in both Canada and the USA and have some great matches already lined up for them already. On Friday, July 1, from the Winnipeg Arena, an AWA Canada Celebration with 3 big main events : The Wild Bills (Wild Bill Irwin and Billy Jack) will take on Southwestern Wrestling favorites, The Fabulous Ones (Stan Lane and Steve Keirn) Da Crusher will team up with visiting ICW superstar, Canada's own Ronnie Garvin, to face Prof. Toru Tanaka and the One Man Gang And "The Incredible" Hulk Hogan and Mr. Olympia will square off with Ken Patera and Boris Zukhov And on Monday, July 4th, a big Independence Day Special at the Met Center in Bloomington, Minnesota : The Road Warriors (Hawk and Animal) vs. The Wild Bills (Wild Bill Irwin and Billy Jack) Javier Cruz vs. Col. Buck Robley "The Big 747", The One Man Gang vs. "The Flying Samoan" Samu "The Man Who Made Milwaukee Famous", Da Crusher vs. "The Oriental Assassin" Prof. Toru Tanaka And a big 8 man tournament for the vacant AWA World Heavyweight Title including : Iceman "King" Parsons! "Gorgeous" Jimmy Garvin! Courtesy of the World Wrestling Council, Jay Youngblood! "The Polish Prince" Ed Wiskowski! "The World's Strongest Man" Ken Patera! Mr. Olympia! "The Russian Menace" Boris Zukhov! And "The Incredible" Hulk Hogan!

Pardee is coming up a few times on the AWA footage I am watching. Competent but unspectacular, the generic Create A Wrestler. "An empty cab pulled up, and Steve Pardee got out of it."

Wasn't Rick Patterson Super Leather?

Just a reminder that Jay Youngblood will not be available on July 4th itself, as he will be involved in the AWA World Title tournament in Minneapolis.

Is it self serving of me to say I am particularly psyched for my own roster?

Just want to say, I think the AWA currently has one of the most ethnically diverse rosters in North America right now. You can be black, white, Asian, Samoan, Arab, Polish, orange, Commie or Masked, there is a place for you in Minnesota!

Give us Barrabas!

Curt Hennig has already been taken.

If anyone wants to tap out of the draft, the AWA would be more than happy to take their picks. We are considerate that way

You are up, fire away.

Exactly. I have some pretty weird choices I am hyping to CFCW. They might not be as good wrestlers as more obvious picks, but I have ideas for them.

Edit : Actually, I will take my name out of the alternate pool for now. I may change my mind later, but I am enjoying myself too much now with the AWA.

Oh, and I guess the Road Warrior will have to make their own damned travel arrangements

Plus, Patti comes on the scene in a few months.

Don't worry about Sunshine with me, goc. If she is a big puzzle piece for you, I will make other plans.

I cared about the person you picked, goc, but was trying to keep it quiet.

Hey, we scored a Cold War era Communist to send up against Hulk Hogan on the 4th of July. Works for me.

I confess I was wondering who Eddie Hogan was. I was thinking of him as Dizzy Boulder.

Wow , that went quick. Edit : not sure why I am having all of these problems with my font size.

Can he still ask people why did they betray him and his Sports Club?

Sports Club comes to Toronto!
