Only the January 24, 1988 episode so far, but f***ing awesome, main event is The Midnight Rockers vs. The Midnight Express.

The more that goes up, the more I am convinced they are trying to stop people from dropping the Network as they drop RAW.

Any chance that any AWA stuff other than the ESPN episodes go up?

Hopefully they have more from the glory days. The AWA was really what my Dad and his brother were into.

Just keep it up. This is pretty much what I wanted the Network for.

I want their 7 or 8 "Supercards" they held in the 80's. Youtube has a lot of them, so the WWE should!

The ESPN shows weren't great give me the syndicated show I grew up with.

They uploaded the Shawn Michaels match from early 86 before he got over where the fans cheer for a jobber named Abudda Dein or somesuch over him.

Jan. 88 AWA
Alan West is listed as the 5th most popular AWA star. WOW.
Wahoo claims he recently won a million dollars in a battle royal. Billy Jack Strong is teased to be his new protege.
Kevin Kelly/Kelly Kiniski in a squash match. Nothing wrong with the match but the announcers have nothing to build on storyline wise, which doesn't help the pair out since they are pretty bland.
Ustinov works a squash and no potential opponents are even mentioned to perhaps defend America. These matches taking place in vacuum really hurt the viewers investment in these matches. The Showboat seems fairly full, which makes the total collapse of the promotion over the next few months even more unsettling.
They finish with a lengthy and entertaining Rockers vs Midnight Express match.

Yikes. Not exactly from their glory years. Yeah. I hope everyone likes seeing the exciting action of Greg Gagne.

God these are terrible. But I grew up with them, so they're just plain adorable to me.

I really want to see more of the Larry Nelson AWA Superstars wrap arounds. It's a poor man's Prime time skit but I dig it.
