Wow. Where did you get this? I remember seeing this particular episode when we lived in Minneapolis. I was 16. Awesome memories. Thanks for posting this. I can't believe all the good old AWA stuff on youtube.

@DotDotkins Thanks for the videos DotDotkins. It brings back some memories and fills in some gaps.

What's odd is that this scene begins as if it's going to be a good-guy turn for Mark 2, but it eventually results in a good-guy turn for Hayes. It's also odd in that Mark 2 mentions Bravo as someone with "no reputation," though wrestling fans will have easily recognized the name from outside the AWA - apparently, Hayes didn't do his research? And finally, if I were the jobber in the ring right now, I'd claim victory over Mark 2 and demand a title shot!!
