Watching this Ali/Frazier doc on HBO Go and I'm wondering... What is the AWA's biggest dream match? Do we have one? What's the one match that you think would be an instant SuperClash headliner? |

Royalty vs. The Unholy Alliance would be pretty epic, but even then it doesn't include some key main players. I think you already had it in Vasquez/Scott. As far as something current that would be awesome that would be Dufresne vs. Langseth. |

1. Dufresne vs Langseth II, both titles/both streaks on the line at SuperClash. 2. Juan Vasquez vs Stevie Scott. Never gets old. 3. Alex Martinez vs Ryan Martinez |

I don't! That would a fascinating match to build, to write, and to read. |

Honestly, I don't buy Langseth as a draw in the AWA and I don't think I ever will. He's a fascinating macguffin, though. Vasquez vs Scott is an obvious one, as it headlined SuperClash twice already, but it's still a "fresh" match-up considering they haven't faced each other since. There's also a bunch of ways a third match could develop between the two. Alex Martinez vs Stevie Scott was something that was teased leading up to SC2, but never ended up being a match. I think it would be huge if given a proper build. |

My head hurts just trying to conceive of how I'd write the promos. Though "from the outside" it would be interesting. I could almost see how it would happen. |

This is somewhat fascinating to me. When you couple this comment with Andy's comment about a month ago about Adam Rogers being the only former E guy to really work in the AWA, I'm a bit curious... 1) Why do these former E characters not work in the AWA? 2) Which former E characters MIGHT work in the AWA that we haven't seen yet? |

1) Basically...Langseth never wrestled! His "streak" is meaningless to me, since he wrestled about once every nine years and I never felt he was presented as a threat to the National title(nor was he really in the National title picture) until he was actually handed the national title in Westwego. His most memorable win in the AWA(Before Westwego) was over Shane Destiny, who you could probably count as another failed EMWC guy. In the AWA universe, I can easily imagine every little kid believing that Langseth stood zero chance of defeating the Scotts, Vasquezes and Monossos of the world. He's like the AWA's Honky Tonk Man or "Chosen One" Drew McIntyre. As for why former E characters don't work in the AWA...I just think it's a struggle to adapt them to a more toned down old school style where cursing is frowned upon and things are a lot more "PG". Adam Rogers could work well in the AWA because lets face it...he was an old school type of wrestler to begin with. Something that made him a bit of an odd duck in EMWC for what it's worth(Exploder off the cage not withstanding). 2. I always thought Steve Spector could have made a good underdog face in AWA if you stripped away the light tube hardcore stuff away from him. Jeff Matthews has accounted pretty well for himself in the few appearances he's had, which leads me to think he'd fair well if he was full time. And if you could get Buse to not drop a million f-bombs...Courtade probably could've made a very good crazed cowboy heel in the mold of Terry Funk or Stan Hansen. |

Ya know, I never really did get closure with Spector's career, but a) Blue didn't think Spector would fit all that well in the AWA, and b) He's doing well outside of wrestling now anyway! |

I don't remember saying that but I might have so I didn't have to go back to figuring out new ways to torment his back. |

We could have had Spector save his back through the power of our Diamond Dallas Page homage's yoga! |

Even though I gave Novy a cup of coffee in AWA, I think it's better that there AREN'T major E guys here. Because they keep getting referenced as such. I way more appreciate that there are AWA guys. I also agree with Terry on the Langseth bit. Again, he was only a name because he was an E guy, not because of anything he actually did in the AWA. Even Vasquez had to "work his way up". I do with people kinda got over the movez stuff a bit. Guys in the AWA are doing stuff done in the E all the time minus the hardcore stuff. There are some pretty high rate movesets in the AWA (all of Terry's guys for instance, Novy, etc). It's really just character/attitude/language that makes this old school and that's fne. You aren't actually gonna draw big TV working old school in ring style. |
