Haha I wish I could have interviewed him about it back in the day. Me: Why don’t you just sell tapes? Alperstein: It’s because we’re a new company and with us we bring new, innovative ideas. Me: Why don’t you just sell tapes? Alperstein: Before long the big companies will be asking why they don’t sell floppy disks. Me: Why don’t you just sell tapes? Add more bullshit and repeat. Anyway, whatever happened to Alperstein. Didn’t the company go broke because they paid a ridiculous amount of money for TV time in major markets? Hopefully Alperstein at least isn’t destitute or something. Were the wrestlers at least taken care of well for those 11 shows he ran? I’d probably watch the heck out of an AWF documentary if they could get a good angle on it. I’d also love a Herb Abrams documentary, but neither are going to happen any time soon. I'd be inclined to think that maybe he just got a good deal on floppies or knew where to get them on the cheap, but given the major market stupidity, I'm less keen on that theory. It probably was just for the sake of doing something different. He thought they wouldn't be pirated after watching the "Don't Copy That Floppy" video.

I remember staying up late every Saturday night to watch this. It was weird since they were all wwf midcarders and then you had Chris Adam's who I used to read about in PWI.

There was one match between Michael PS Hayes and some jobber. Hayes finisher was to moonwalk then drop an elbow on the jobber. Makes me wonder if a young Rock was watching this and got the idea for the People's Elbow from this match.
