The Minnesota Boxing and Wrestling Club, otherwise known as Verne Gagne's American Wrestling Association, covered the Midwest region of the United States. Our good friend, the late Ron Dobratz, correctly pointed out the weakness of the promotion as a type of vanity tool for the Gagne family. One time Greg decided to get rough with Ron at a show in Rockford, but it still didn't stop both father and son from ruining what was once a major promotion. Regardless of these bizarre affiliates, for all intents and purposes, the AWA is....DEAD! Call the Chicago Center For Killing's Hardcore Hotline at (847)604-DEAD. Leave us a voice mail and use those free nights and weekend minutes.
