      He did. Curt was brought up by him to be a wrestler and a damn good one at that. He was Mr.Perfect. ALL of these phenomenal athletes/wrestlers are gone now. Too many died way too young! Illness and sickness is brutal as I myself have been told I probably won't make 60. It's sad that they are gone but their legacy thankfully lives on! Thank you for sharing these iconic moments in pro wrestling! ❤ God Bless you! And thanks again!

    I was at the same match-up in Chicago, my first live wrestling event. My father was confused that the fans popped for the Road Warriors, since the Hennigs were the baby faces. The heels as the "fan favorite" was not a common occurrence. The Warriors were just that over.

      Back in those days Heavy Metal was peaking. The Road Warriors came out to Iron-Man and that gave the kids, the rebellious teens, and the younger fans a new look. Hogan was still the cutesy boy, but the badasses were making their mark. Between the Road Warriors and later on a faint copy Demolition, the leather the spikes, the face paint made them icons for the younger fans and that grew into the attitude era eventually where a "bad" guy was actually cool and not a Heel.

    I used to have this on a VHS tape that I bought as a kid from the Chehalis K-Mart. A couple years later while AWA Champion Curt Hennig was in the Portland Area and I met him at a monday night show in Longview! I was amazed how big he actually was. I guess seeing him in the ring with these can skew things. A short time later he showed up as Mr Perfect in the WWF.

I remember looking up his photo to make sure it was him and I couldn’t stop looking at him lol. Wonder if he noticed, but I kind of regret not going up to him all these years later.

    Was'nt this the only wrestling event that had representatives from all the major wrestling organazations at that time the AWA, NWA and WWF as it was known at that ime? I know for a fact they had representitives from the NWA and AWA.

    • @TestosteroneOverload
      @TestosteroneOverload  6 років тому +1

      Correct! All three major promotions were represented PLUS Portland Wrestling!! Truly an epic show. Unfortunately, WWE has usurped the Piper vs Rose match as their own, striking me with a copyright infringement despite them not owning this footage.

    where did they get this commentator and ring announcer???

    • @TestosteroneOverload
      @TestosteroneOverload  9 років тому +9

      +blaknyte08 The commentator is the 2nd legendary voice of Portland Wrestling, Don Coss. The announcer is beloved Portland Wrestling promoter Don Owen, who ran the longest-running NWA territory in history!! No one out here really knew who the Road Warriors were back then. You have to remember that cable television hadn't even made it's way out here yet in 1985.

      Yes, but AWA wasn't broadcast out here. We had cable, but not the modern cable people think of that came to fruition in the 1980's. The Road Warriors would have been best known through the Apter Mags at that moment in time.

      I read a book a few years ago wrote by one of the Road Warriors, (I can't remember which) in which he lead the readers to believe that everyone but Rick Rude was scared of them. I suspect that to be an exaggeration. For starters I don't think Larry Henning looks like he needs to or would be scared by much of anybody. And theirs a few others that I believe didn't need to be scared of them.Now they were a very marketable team.And a few bricks shy a load in their personal life.
