Scary that 3 of the wrestlers in that clip are all dead. Henning, Brody and Blackwell.

[zisoul]

The faces sure did not try very hard to help BLACKWELL,they made it wores for

him.

[retawdee]

@zisoul True, They could've done a better job of protecting him.

They looked like fools out there.

[Rayla840]

Haha. Blackwell wins $100,000? As if anyone would believe Verne would pay anyone $100,000!!!!

[JonathanVonErich]

@Rayla840 Lol good point. I think the winner won 100$, not 100,000.

I think it was a great idea to turn Blackwell face.

[clstrat939]

@Rayla840 well said lol.

[OrigLanceR]

wow whose side was Rhodes on? LOL

[muta157]

1:21 Blackwell takes what appears to be legit surprise boot the face.

[Chuloloc]

Awesome. The way the old schoolers use to do it.

[VolumedMusicMan]

Jerry, Brody, Abby, Dusty, and Curt what talent in the ring!

Does anybody remember AWA battle royal were Andre broke al kasseys leg

[Kevinstar2009]

note to self: don't hire dusty rhodes,steve keirn or stanley lane as body guards

[jmb311972]

BRODY WAS THE BEST!!! The man could generate heat and that was the name of the game, he was a wrestlers, wrestler to the end!!!

[Lfdjake91]

This was a landmark angle in the history of the AWA. For years, Jerry Blackwell had been a hated heel, but after this angle he overnight became one of the biggest faces in the company.

[mryork95]

can you post the clip right after the match where ken resnick is trying to interview a bloody blackwell while he is laying on a table

[oldschoolbrad]

wow love this stuff keep it comming....the memorries are great!!!!!!!!!

[bigdenverguy]

I was at this battle royal - it was an event I remembered well. Jerry Blackwell was an asset to the AWA, babyface or bad guy. I never felt the same about Brody - he seemed to be a loose cannon out for his own attention, and had trouble allowing his opponents their moment. I might be wrong - after all, I really disliked Brody and that's IS the point of being the bad guy. Anyways, thank you for yet another fantastic AWA memory.

[amboy362]

I have to agree with you.  If you notice Dusty Rhodes did not help at all.

[parkviewdrive]

incredible to see Brody and Abdullah working together!
