My second writing for the AWA was actually per request from Mr. Gagne himself. The AWA owner enjoyed my Hulk Hogan piece so much (both the writing and the attention that it generated) that he actually reached out and offered me my own column for the official website. Wanting to incorporate more of pro wrestling's past (specifically the AWA) he wanted to take advantage of the many wrestling greats of the 1980s who were still competing on the independent scene in 2005. Per his request, I wrote a piece introducing the AWA Legends Championship. Former AWA World Heavyweight Champion "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko became the inaugural (and to my knowledge the only) AWA Legends champion. The title was later abandoned as Larry was awarded the AWA World Heavyweight Championship on February 5th 2008. LEGENDS NEVER DIE You can read my column as it was originally posted on awastars which has been archived here. https://web.archive.org/web/20071013144116/http://awastars.com/col_legends.html TNTMF,

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
