AWA Wrestlerock '86

[Redbeard's Ghost]

Out of boredom, I've been really scouring the Network for unique shows to watch. Found AWA Wrestlerock 86 last night, a show I completely forgot ever happened. It was held in the Metrodome and looked to have drawn a fairly large crowd. Interesting matches -

Windham & Rotundo vs. The Fabulous Ones (working as heels) in a GREAT tag match
Harley Race vs. Rick Martel
Scott "Porn Star Look" Hall & Hennig vs. The Irwins
Greg Gagne & Snuka vs. Brody & Nord the Barbarian
Road Warriors vs The Freebirds in a cage

One match not included on the Network version is the Midnight Rockers vs. Rose & Somers. Anyone know why this match was cut?

Don't know why it was cut but I too didn't know about this. I'll have to check it out later tonight.

Where are the AWA Supercards like Wrestlerock 86 on the Network anyway?

I watched them all back on the last version of the Network when they were all found in the AWA section but ever since the update, the Territories section only has the AWA TV shows.

Here's a link to a hidden page of AWA content.

The Rockers match was missing on the Classics On Demand airing of the show, and they probably just put that on the Network.  They may have cut it because of the Doug Somers lawsuit in 2011-12 against WWE over AWA footage that included him.  WWE definitely have the match because it's on the 2010 "Shawn Michaels: My Journey" set.

You may not remember the show, but maybe something used to promote it.
