For the second straight year the American Wrestling Association was well represented in the WWE Hall of fame. Having seen the inductions of AWA alumni Verne Gagne, Gene Okerlund and Sherri Martel the previous year, 2007 saw the inductions of AWA World Champions Nick Bockwinkel, Jerry Lawler and Curt Hennig. When writing my tribute piece to this men I wanted to do more than pay respect to the wrestler so I presented the AWA's Dominance of the WWE HOF as throwback to the great inter promotional wars of the 1980s which to many is still the greatest era in the history of professional wrestling.

Author: Sean BossmanFrom 2005 to 2008 I was a columnist for the Minneapolis based American Wrestling Association (under the moniker of "Sean Bush" claiming to be a spoiled relative of then U.S. President George W. Bush lol) both for the official AWA webite as well as their short lived printed magazine. In order to differentiate myself from other columnists, I avoided writing straight ahead pieces about the here and now and instead wrote everything from a historical perspective always referencing the AWA's grand legacy in correspondence to where the company was going. Mr. Gagne appreciated my unique style so much that he assigned me to write the opening article for the first issue of the newly launched AWA magazine. Archives
