I never watched the AWA when it was active, so most of my knowledge comes from reruns on ESPN Classic and this here site. And what Wrestlecrap introduced me to was the wonder and magic of the Team Challenge Series and The Great American Turkey Hunt. It’s one thing to read about it. It’s another to actually see it.
Colonel DeBeers vs Jake “The Milkman” Milliman. Fighting over a turkey. On a pole. In a pink room. With no crowd. Just a couple of bored security guards standing around the ring.
AWA went out of business only 2 years later, you say? Shocking!
The worst part? We never got the natural follow-up of someone getting a pumpkin pie in the face.
