Curt Hennig was one of the BEST pro wrestlers of his

generation. It's nice to see what he was like before

his Mr Perfect gimmick.

Thanks for posting.

@81carlos ...didnt know that. Thanks for the info. Nice to hear that the legacy of the AWA is still continuing, somewhat...

@flipgood89 The AWA World title is now part of a company in Japan called Zero-One.They changed the name of the title to the Zero-One World heavyweight championship.

@devanahluwalia No, watch Inoki vs. Backlund,Ricky Steamboat vs Tiger Mask,Sting vs Great Muta,Flair vs Fujinami just to name a few...

@bighustle89 ...As a matter of fact the Japanese press called this the worst AWA title match ever...While I think thats harsh, both Misawa and Hennig spent and inordinate amount of time working rest holds and weak submissions that went nowhere. The last 4 minutes were pretty damn good, tho. This tour was the last time the AWA belt was held in any regard in Japan. The territory was going downhill fast, in terms of credibility and talent, and Baba was left unimpressed with Hennig.

@devanahluwalia ....no, this was basically All Japans way of saying that they didnt think much of Hennig, or the AWA for that matter.

[devanahluwalia]

Do all Japanese matches with established western wrestlers end in count outs?...
