Shawn Michaels 1st World title shot?

[TankAbbott]

I was surprised to stumble upon this card. Shawn and Marty were only in their 4th or 5th month in the AWA and not yet headlining, but here Shawn is fighting the World champ. Any details how this came about?

 

[Prime Shane Douglas]

Stacked card.

 

[Pliny Pete]

Stacked card.

Not everyday you get to see such stars like King Kong Brady and Monty Jannetty

 

[Mr. Perfect]

Scott Hall/Curt Hennig/Leon White... GOAT 6 man tag team AINEC.

I wonder if Cheri Martel was censational in her role as manager...

What's funny, is I'm pretty sure those are typos. Bruiser Brody was "King Kong Brody", and Marty Jannetty has never been known as Monty, as far as I know.

Mr. Perfect, Razor Ramon and Vader was a powerful team.

 

[Pliny Pete]

All those spelling errors but somehow they managed to get Zybysko right lol

 

[RollSonnenRoll]

The Boyhood Dream had to start somewhere

He fought Bruno in a cage at Shea!!!!!

Stan would knock Shawn's eye straight now with a lariat..

 

[The Diplomat]

As is Cheri Martel

True, but atleast they were close with hers.

It's like the Fire Pro Wrestling games where they slightly changed everyone's names to avoid trademark issues.

 

[Pliny Pete]

As is Cheri Martel

And several others

Coloniel Debeers
Brand Rheingans
Boris Zhokon
Curt Henning
The Barberian

All misspelled

 

[Sycho Sid]

Is the Barberian some kind of barbarian barber? Sounds like a tag team between The Barbarian and Brutus Beefcake.

 

[HomerThompson]

Well, he is the Living Legend.

 

[GSPSAKU]

[It's a heck of a card especially with all the misspelled names. This must be 1986 but I have no clue why Shawn was wrestling Stan Hansen. I have never heard of Shawn wrestling Stan so I wonder if it ever went through? I believe Steve Austin had Shawn on his show and Hansen's name came up along with Brody and they both talked about what tough guys they were and what it would've been like to wrestle those guys or have those guys in the business today. I could be mistaken though.

Zbyszko was about as boring as you get
