Video Archive: WrestleRock ’86
On April 20, 1986, the American Wrestling Association held what may have been its largest show, WrestleRock, at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in Minneapolis. More than anything that happened on the mat, the event is most remembered for the gloriously cheesy promo video, “WrestleRock Rumble,” which blatantly stole from the Chicago Bears’ “The Super Bowl Schuffle.”
Duluth WrestleRock connection: Central High School graduates Scott and Bill Irwin, wrestling as the Long Ryders, lost an AWA World Tag Team Championship match to Curt Hennig and “Big” Scott Hall. It would be the Long Ryders’ final match. Scott Irwin died from a brain tumor on Sept. 5, 1987. (more…)

This is one long clip of this game, which contains many different acts and little dramas, on the shore of Lake Superior.
