Bockwinkel, Zbyszko, & Ray Stevens were like 4 horsemen of the AWA

What a fantastic video for so many reasons:

1) Tom Zenk in white trunks

2) Tom taking the brunt of the punishment

3) Double-teaming a jobber

4) Piledriver on cement...with added downward force by a heel holding Zenk's ankles.

5) Zenk quivering on the floor

6) Zenk getting counted out. LOL Love the ref for doing this.

7) Tom takes one for the team and loses the match for him and his partner,

AWA had some terrible matches, but also had greats like Zbyszko, Lawler, The Hennigs, The Gagnes, Freebirds, Heyman, Scott Hall etc

Matches like this make me glad that I never got the AWA in my area.

You must be a Zenkamaniac.

Good point. Add to that the fact that a by then heel Hennig defeated a by then face Bockwinkel to win the belt with outside help from none other then Larry Zbyszko.

LOL at 8:10 Bockwinkel gives Greg Gagne the "FU" sign.

[Lfdjake91]

I always thought the same thing.

Henning sure paid some up-and-comer dues in this match.
