AWA Arena Show

This video features an AWA arena show from December 25, 1987, showcasing the American Wrestling Association, one of professional wrestling's most storied promotions. Founded by Verne Gagne and Wally Karbo in 1960, the AWA was based in Minneapolis, Minnesota and operated as an independent territory until 1991. Originally rooted in the Minneapolis Boxing & Wrestling Club, the promotion broke away from the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) to forge its own legacy in professional wrestling.
