AWA-Specific gimmicks? I don't think AWA did gimmicks. Verne Gagne like all the old school promoters at the time hated the character based wrestling that wwe was based on and perfered his wrestlers to be realistic and specialized in a technical substance over style type like early roh. The only time they tried anything gimmicky was the team challenge series and that failed miserably. And younger talent? Some of them Maybe but guys like Terry Gordy and Chris adams were around 10 year veterans at the time And were also mainstays of fritz von Erich's WCCW and Terry actually did some work in AWA for a few years with the freebirds like on the superclashes. And why have booker t on your roster without his brother Stevie ray? Harlem Heat/ebony experience would be big players in your tag division.
When I say young talent, I'm not talking about Gordy and Adams. There are younger talents on Roster. (Eddie, Taz, Mabel, Saturn, Booker T, Al Snow) Yes, I brought Booker T into the company without his brother. Because I ask, "How would something different be?" I don't want to do predictable things. Stevie Ray will join the roster of course. But I want to do this gradually and fit into the storyline that's going on right now. |

Except you have Gordy and adams performing under the names Terry mawashi and Dylan dowboy, it sounds like your trying to make them out as a Japanese and Texan wrestler specifically.

Reed briefly responded to the Black Panthers Rising's claim that "AWA violates human rights" last Monday and defended the company. “We gave Butch Reed and James Sandoval the special treatment we never gave to any wrestler.

He was extremely bored at the Championship Wrestling show in Canada this Monday. “To be honest, I don't understand why Canada is bragging about its wrestlers. I want to understand.

The audience was enthralled.

He made an open call from the ring and invited the person or peoples behind this formation to face it. It did not come as expected. “Hey over there, I know whoever you are watching this.

Lawler said that his partner is so obsessed with regaining the AWA World championship that if he continues like this, they will lose the tag team championship. “I don't want to say this, but Butch Reed and his rookie are right. We have to show them what it means to be a team.”
