Sure is.  Have you been to Mid-Atlantic Gateway recently?  There is a pic of Paul Jones in a cowboy hat on the front page....he's posing with Nelson Royal, Destroyer and a snowman..... 8)

Okay, this was really bugging me:




The guy looking over Hogan's shoulder is AWA referee Gary DeRusha.
And, as for the bald guy standing behind Gene, I'll bet dollars to pesos that's Superstar.

And, I've confirmed that the guy between Adnan & Okerlund is, indeed, Kenny Resnick.

Even Dusty looks cool there.

Man I wish I could have followed Bockwinkle somewhere other than the magazines.

I agree on Superstar, that was my only guess, and I remember at one point he did the "sheik' thing as well.  Very unusual during this time period to see faces and heels in a pic like this.  Wish there were more.

I agree that it's unusual.
Makes me believe this may have been from Verne's personal collection rather than something published in a magazine.
Although, it does have a magazine look, doesn't it?

Hogan only worked for Verne from '81-'83, so we can narrow down the timeframe this pic was taken.

Possibly the Iron Sheik?

That's a good guess, but Sheik was gone from AWA by the time Hogan came in.

Great one.....and most people forget, he missed Backland.  I was watching the match where he nailed Muraco with it on TV.  Just insane.
