"Hello, i'll be losing this evening."

Dick Assman vs Bret "Hitman" Hart in an arm wrestling contest

You couldn't make this up if you tried.

Terry Funk vs Bruce Walkup

COMMENT FROM YOUTUBE: "Terry Funk V Bruce Walkup in Texas Bunkhouse Empty Arena Cage Match from Championship Wrestling from Florida"

COMMENT FROM YOURS TRULY: Terry Funk is awesome.

"Mr Wonderful" Paul Orndorff vs The Mohawk Kid

DESCRIPTION FROM YOUTUBE: "Paul "Mr Wonderful" Orndorff Vs The Mohawk Kid"

COMMENT FROM YOURS TRULY: Minutes of thought (at most) went into the creation of the Mohawk Kid. It took less time than that to destroy it.

Bruiser Brody vs. Nacho Berrera

DESCRIPTION FROM YOUTUBE: "AWA All Star Wrestling, May 1984"

COMMENT FROM YOURS TRULY: If you combined Elvis during his last days with Tattoo from Fantasy Island, you perhaps would come close to creating Nacho Berrera. Just look at the man. The jacket. The hair. The sideburns (it was 1984!). The physique. The winning attitude he displays. This man is ready to lose. At anything. Just as long as you pay him something for it.

Clearly, "Nacho Libre 2: Nacho Berrera" as a straight to DVD title is a missed opportunity.

Larry Cameron vs. Jake "the Milkman" Milliman

DESCRIPTION FROM YOUTUBE: "AWA Larry Cameron vs Jake 'Milkman' Milliman August11,1990"

COMMENT FROM YOURS TRULY: What a treat these two served up for my eleventh birthday. The Milkman is one of the greatest job guys ever, he looks like an unusually energetic trucker, has a haircut beyond the bounds of all common sense, and has approximately no chance of winning whatsoever, but keeps trying. Just the best. I think he needed a milk cart or even a bottle of milk to drink before the match, so that he had milk all through his ginger beard.

And it seems the AWA gave Larry Cameron "the Butcher" nickname - because he used to be a butcher. Wow. What a key for certain success amongst children. Why didn't DC call Superman "Reporterman" instead?

Crusher Blackwell vs "Sodbuster" Kenny Jay

DESCRIPTION FROM YOUTUBE: "AWA All Star Wrestling April 4 1982"

COMMENT FROM YOURS TRULY: You might think that Kenny was known as the "Sodbuster" due to some sort of football folklore, but it was actually because he dug up people's lawns. His other nickname was "The Very Capable Kenny Jay".

He once fought Muhammad Ali, and also gave the world this excellent quote after being honoured by the Cauliflower Alley Club:

" Being the first jabroni to be honored by the Cauliflower Alley Club is real exciting. It’s nice to be recognized by the boys. ”

— Kenny Jay

Crusher Blackwell also could throw a better dropkick than Hot Fist Hernahan.

Bret(t) Hart vs. Van Van Horne

DESCRIPTION FROM YOUTUBE: "Bret Hart Vs Van Van Horne from 1988"

COMMENT FROM YOURS TRULY: Mr Horne must have seen his name next to Bret's backstage and thought, "Man, that guy has a cool name, "The Hitman". But I think of one cooler! I'll add an extra Van on my name! Top that!" He then proceeded to get no offense in whatsoever.

Maybe he got confused with Van Van Car?




Ah, great game that.
