Did you know the AWA is back in business?

Apparently Dale Gagne decided to reopen the AWA in 1996, and they seem to be carving out a niche in the old AWA stomping grounds. I heard that the Gagnes wanted to revive the AWA name, nice to see they managed to get something going.

 

Hell they're probably doing better business now than the last couple years of the old AWA.

Actually, according to the AWA website ZERO-ONE MAX is an AWA affiliate.

Heh, I saw the news from the main page on Inside Pulse the other day. I was greatly amused by the fact that they considered their title "prestigious" when it had been given to Evan Karagias of all people.

 

It's also hilarious, but nice as far as (really old) continuity goes, that Zbysko is still laying claim to it.

Yeah, I knew they were around. They seem to have an NWA-style affiliation of indys going right now. I've never seen them running any shows around here though (I'm in Southern Wisconsin). They're just another indy at this point, but it is nice to see a promotion with some heritage running in the US again (not discounting WWE and NWA).

What the fuck did I just say.

You said they were recognizing the titles. he said they're an affilliate. Technically two different things though they're both accurate.

Yeah they really did wonders for the crediblity of the AWA name when they claimed to have the ability to book a Hogan vs. Austin match.

In theory, they could if someone had the $$$. It wouldn't matter to the parties involved what wrestling company it was for.
