Eh? How the fuck does a guy who most modern era fans have never heard of, rank above so many bigger names?
I dont doubt he was great in the 70s, but come on, was he really that much of a name in the modern era?
It is a tough one.
According to the list, the modern era began in the 80s!
There were 3 major companies - the AWA was a far third!
But, if like bsams and myself, you favoured the WCW over WWF, you also favoured the AWA over the WWF, at least until the late 80s!
As opposed to most fans of the WWF, who only saw th WWF!
The AWA was similar in a lot of aspects as the WCW! I think this could be to do with how the WWF concentrated on the family market and I was wanting more wrestling, then showboating - much like I am today!
You were more likely to get better matches in the WCW and AWA, than in the WWF! Ricky Steamboat & The British Bulldogs being the exception.
