Glad to see they took a step back to 1987 last few shows

He wasn't HBK at the time, he was typical 80s pretty boy tag specialist. They rarely made new stars, just about everybody was already estiablished or wasn't over True but even now looking at the reruns you can see HBK and Jannetty did things in the ring that other guys didnt or couldnt do. I know hindsight is 20-20 but they really should have done something with him. And the AWAs problem in a nutshell was that they didnt give guys a title run unless you were a Gagne...married to a Gagne or Nick Bockwinkel. (curt Henning was 2nd generation AWA) Hansen and Lawler were last ditch efforts. On a side note though I have a fun idea if you guys want to play along.... How would you book the Heavyweight title picture for 87-88 ? I would have used Henning as champ for a long title run first Heel then face till he beat pretty much everyone and built up HBK on a Heel turn on Marty till Curt and HBK was the hot ticket You Guys ?

You can push almost anyone with the right program HBK would have gotten over as a HUGE heel if he turned on Jannetty in 1988. I would have booked Henning to hold the World Title Fight off Lawler...Stan Hansen...Bruiser Brody..Kerry Von Erich...Scott Hall.... Then Gave the HBK -vs- Henning program a go

If the AWA held thier roster even post Road Warriors they could have made it....I would have loved to see micheals get the AWA title run Bruiser Brody -vs HBK for the AWA title or a long Henning -vs- HBK fued
