Yeah, so ESPN has stopped airing those horrible UWF shows and are now airing some much better AWA shows. I've been meaning to ask if anyone has been able to watch it.

Not only is there some good wrestling, but its cool to see the likes of Scott Hall (And his porn stache) and Curt Henning working together as well as saying an incredibly young Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannety. Shawn in particular looked comfortable even back then and you could tell that he had the potential to be great.

And of course, we get the likes of Nick Bockwinkle, Bruiser Brody, Jimmy Snuka and Stan Hansen.

If you've seen the show, discuss! If you haven't and you have any question, feel free to ask them.

I watch it. Some matches are good some aren't. I do agree with SP that Shawn Michaels looked good even back then.

As a side question, Classic has aired UWF and AWA. What do you guys think will be next? What other wrestling shows has ESPN aired in the 80's?

I'm pretty sure WWF was on ESPN once upon a time, but I doubt they will be allowed to air those episodes.
