Agree 100%...and I was at that Lawler match in S.A. TX as well...to me Mr. Bockwinkel will always be the ultimate Villian...even Flair gave him props. No screaming reality TV/WWE mentality here. Almost seemed real for a sec...

Tricky Nick Bockwinkel, one of the greatest mic generals and performers of all time bar none. I remember seeing him defend the AWA title against Lawler in San Antonio, Tx. and against Verne Gagne in Denver, Colo. and to make it simple, the wrestling world never truly gave this man his due.
With Bobby Heenan at his side, Nick had it all and was greater than the AWA could have ever been. He would have exemplified a true undisputed heavyweight champion.

i think this video is in 1080p

The original suit wearing,big word using heel! Jericho reinvented himself as Bockwinkel and did well,miz tried and failed!

Memphis could've had a legendary match if they'd booked AWA vs NWA with Flair vs Bockwinkle.. Crowd turnout would've been massive..

bockwinkel. He was everything in wrestling, great mic work, a wrestler that could really wrestle. Tactician one of the best ever.
-
@Buckeyecat2002 You got that right. He even made Hulk Hogan look like Lou Thesz.

Bockwinkel is 47 here. Wow, what an athlete this guy was.

@deblobwii That's great to hear. I did grow up watching the AWA and Nick Bockwinkel (lived just a couple miles from where they taped the TV shows), and it's fun watching people discover him here. He really deserves it!
"So that yes, the poor cretinous humanoids here, no, I acquiesce not to them, but only to myself." This man's extensive lexicon, and acute abiltiy to manipulate poly-syllabic semantics was of a different magnitude. Ha, ha, ha! Man I used to love Bockwinkel and Heenan and their promos their interviews were better than the 'faces' interviews! Man if I could only go back 25 years or so I'd videotape everything that pro wrestling once was for my own video vault. "It takes a man of my magnitude ..."
