AWA Hands Zbyszko the AWA World title.....again.
As a follow up to Brian Logan announcing that a number of AWA promotions were breaking away from Dale Gagne (real name:Dale Gagner) and making their own claim to the AWA "World" Title that he won from Larry Zbyszko in West Virginia after Larry Z was awarded the title after being stripped of it in 1990. According to Gagner's AWA website they have now ONCE AGAIN given the title back to Larry Zbyszko and have removed all references on their their site to Brian Logan ever winning the title even deleting it from the title history as if it never happened.
I suppose this is news, it's certainly amusing if nothing else. The fact of the matter is neither belt mean much anymore. I could just as easily order an AWA title belt from highspots and declare myself AWA World Champion and it would mean about as much as either of these. I suppose this will probably lead to even more drama over the AWA name and more lawsuits from Dale "Gagne". This isn't a knock on Logan, he's a good worker and a nice guy but it would probably be less trouble to pick out another three letters and call it something else. Well we'll see what happens.
