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.

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

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

[Rayla840]
