The Rise and Fall of the AMERICAN WRESTLING ASSOCIATION
DAVE KNOWS that the AWA, the American Wrestling Association is one of the best wrestling organizations that there ever was, it was even the most successful at one point in time. However, a lot of modern wrestling fans are not quite as familiar with Verne Gagne and the AWA promotion as they ought to be. And while the AWA had its ups and downs, it serves as great example of what makes wrestling good and also some common mistakes that bring wrestling companies to a close. So let's revisit Verne Gagne and the American Wrestling Association. www.patreon.com/daveknowswrestling
