That's because AJPW does not air hear and we can't watch it in order to judge it.

Post by: The Showstoppa on May 21, 2009, 12:15:17 PM: I think a very underrated promotion was Georgia Championship Wrestling around 84-85. Warriors, Spoiler, Sawyer, Rich, Piper, etc.... plus the top guys from Mid-Atlantic/NWA and Florida always coming in for promotions....Flair, Rhodes, Hansen, Brody, Abdullah, etc.... And I'm sure I'm forgetting a ton of guys.

Plus Gordan doing the commentary.

I think the "Minnesota Wrecking Crew" (pre-Horseman Andersons) was on the scene at that time as well.

Ole was for sure...I can't remember if Gene was, although he was managing quite a bit at the time.

Post by: Andy Griffin on May 22, 2009, 06:28:35 PM: Gene was more or less managing at the time. "Lars" was still wrestling, and their "cousin" Arn had just come on the scene. I can't believe I actually thought Arn was from Minnesota. hahahahahaha

look at the roster at the time:

Hogan
Savage
Warrior
Dibiase
Jake
Boss Man/Akeem
Demolition
Andre/Haku
Rude
Mr. Perfect
Hart Foundation
Tully and Arn
Shawn and Janetty

I mean, it was cool when they actually had a tag team division..
