2007 saw Larry Zbyszko claiming to be the true AWA World champion having never been defeated for the belt in 1991. The angle would end with Larry reclaiming the AWA World championship.

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.

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
