AWA ESPN Championship Wrestling (March 4, 1986)

The redankulous AWA Team Challenge Series pilot filled me with such joy that I’ve decided to watch the other limited AWA offerings the WWE Network has available. This is a review of an episode of AWA ESPN Championship Wrestling that’s clearly only on the WWE Network because it’s got rookie of the year edition of Shawn Michaels debuting on it. So let’s check it out!

AWA Team Challenge Series Pilot (October 23, 1989)

Some of my fondest wrestling memories are of watching late 80s AWA on ESPN with my dad (because the AWA was the preferred wrestling promotion of dads across America) so when the WWE Network added the unaired pilot for the AWA Team Challenge Series, I was all over that shit, and oh what shit it was!
