Who would have known that kid Shawn Michaels would one day become bigger than legendary status. Who would have known he'd become the greatest wrestler of all time.

Rockers in WWF = Official death of the AWA.

[infernityzero2011]

@TheCastellan marty had real life problems thats why he never got the push like shawn did

[dylanrocks83]

@JonathanVonErich So true..

@JonathanVonErich shawn and marty destroy AWA, ;)

[JonathanVonErich]

@Krallify Uh !? Back in 1988 yes, the AWA was still there, they closed in 1991. In my opinion Shawn and Marty were the only good wrestlers in the AWA at this moment, and when they left for WWF in July the AWA had nobody to showcase, Curt Hennig left 1 or 2 weeks before the Rockers did, but even so the AWA was showing Hennig's matches on TV and pretended like he was still part of the company. Sad.

@JonathanVonErich AWA is steal ''working''??

@DannyCashMoney7295

Pity Marty got the short end of the stick.

Though I think Shawn was more interesting to watch in his tag team days, with all the stuff they did, but that's just me.

@shawndx100 That I agree with.
