September 20, 1984. Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Nick Bockwinkel challenges AWA World Heavyweight Champion Rick Martel. Mr. Saito interferes in the match.
Great match. Nick and Rick were truly the two best workers of the promotion at the time, by far.

22:55 to 23:09...If you listen closely, you can hear Martel's scream, and Nick's cocky-feelin response...I love the position Bock has Martel in here...TOTAL crushing control...The alpha-feelin expression on Nick's face is so telling of how superior he feels, watch the arm of Martel's that's "flopping/struggling" back between Bock's thighs, "thumpin" against Bock's crotch inconspicuously... THAT'S when Bock "grabs" a handful of Martel through his trunks, and YANKS up on Martel's , ummm, "trunks" (this is where you want to really listen closely to what Bock is saying) while obviously feeling that cocky, superior bully-like sensation from the struggling friction in these ending moments of the match.... I'd say Nick felt like He timed it perfectly!

Heenan was suspended. = Heenan went to the WWF? I so miss this kind of wrestling, and I wish I could have seen the AWA.

Yep, Bobby started with WWF a few weeks previously. The suspension was a clever way to "write him off".

Rick won. Nick put up a good match. Poor Kenny took flack from all of those sour apples. Nick did get shafted in Japan by AWA officials. He got stung by Hurty Kurty Henning. Jerry Lawler then stung the Hurty Kurty Man. War Between The Heels. Sour to the core!

No pop for Martel whatsoever...IDK why. He had it all but couldn't win the fans over in the AWA. He was a WWWF crowd favorite in the early 70's teaming up with Tony Garea.

@@libra42ful ya, it's pro wrestling, not porn. i've read a bunch of your "comments". you hyper-sexualize something, fine, but to share it with the world & then feign ignorance is laughable. what the heck is bothering me is exactly what you intended. you put a spin on your comment like it's innocuous, bock likes "hurting" rick. bullshit, all your comments suggest, imply or damn near state that these athletes are all horny while wrestling. another thing that is "pretty easy, dude", especially if you're 54, is NOT leaving entirely inappropriate comments. the way you "perceive" it is always sexual, & you know it. if your fantasies were accurate, that would include some non-consensual acts. nick bockwinkel, total gent, was never your partner in any way, so spare the rest of us your horniness. it's not just this comment here, you're everywhere & have been for a long time, always with the "wrestling is my porn & their foreplay" comments. i don't go watch moolah vs wendi richter & say stuff like, "moolah just loves being in a head-scissors from wendi, the higher up the better", while sporting an almost explicit thumbnail pic of myself. idiot.

When Wally Carbo becomes just as important in the match as the wrestlers because of constant involvement, there’s something seriously wrong with the promotion’s ability to tell a story properly within the format of the match. Come up with a better ending for crying out loud . The Wally Carbo show was overdone in the AWA. Other than that, the talent of the performers was there. The inability of Verne Gagne to evolve with the times ultimately killed everything for the promotion.
