Carlos Colón

wanted.

And Carlos Colon.

I was waiting for Juventud Guerrero.

There was Juventud and Super Crazy, I was hoping.

And just to keep it fair, Ruben Tuguril is from Mexico.

He's a Mexican wrestler from WCW and Diddy Cruiserweight star.

And then obviously Carlos Colon from Puerto Rico, Diddy Hall of Famer, one of the biggest wrestling stars in Puerto Rican history.

For that division, Hubetoot, which is not, though, a Latin American, but Ultimate Dragon were my two favorite of that division growing up in the 90s.

because you could literally list every wrestler in the world that appeared in the Carolinas, but on the heels of Johnny Valentine and Wahoo McDaniel, in those five years, Ric Flair, Ricky Steamboat, Jimmy Snuka, Black Jack Mulligan, Greg Valentine, Paul Orndorff, Ole and Gene Anderson, the NWA champions Jack Briscoe, Terry Funk, and Harley Race, Jay Youngblood, Dick Murdock, Dusty Rhodes, Andre the Giant, Mr. Wrestling Tim Woods, Roddy Piper, and that's just off the top of my head, and that's a short list, especially the big shows in Greensboro, tag team tournaments, Thanksgiving night, the big shows in Charlotte, you would literally see a who's who of everybody from the NWA and in some cases from around the world.

Carlos Colon worked preliminary matches at one point in time in the Carolinas.

With a talent roster like that, you and I could sit down and we would be wealthy people.

We would be farting through silk.

All right.

all right so uh let's start so tonight today whatever it is we are going to the awa and the world wrestling council yeah we're going to uh carlos colon's uh promotion so so as far as the awa we are going to watch a match from may 21st 1986 It is the future world champion of Mr.

Perfect, Kurt Hennig, taking on Larry Zbysko in a singles match.

So would you like to know what else was on this episode of AWA on ESPN? God, yes.

Pinned Dan Spivey.

World Wrestling Council Caribbean champion Buddy Landell beat TNT.

Carlos Colon submitted Hercules Aaliyah in a fire match.

Kamala pinned Jimmy Valiant.

I mean, there are so many veterans that I work with.

who helped Jerry Lawler, Carlos Colon, Jack Veneno, their own territories.

Then when I went over to Germany, worked with Tony Sinclair, and then you work in different territories, you get to learn and a veteran that I haven't worked with in the business.

But along the way, there have been many who have helped teach me and show me the way in the wrestling business.

They would sneak out the back door.

Carlos Colon was infamous for doing it.

The show is going to be, the boys will be looking for payment.

Where is he? Ah, he, he already left.

23, Earthquake.

24, Young Buck.

Carlos Colon.

25, Tito Santana.

26, Rick Martel.

J. Strombone's back there, right? All right, let's get him out there.

Like, there's plenty of hands.

We got Carlos Colon out here.

Yeah.

Uh, King Greg saying Carlito never got bigger than Carlos Colon, and Carlito has had a great career.

It's true.

Like, yeah, like I said, Charlotte Flair, Charlotte Flair is, like, easily a top three women's wrestler in WWE history, yet she's still not even remotely, even an, a portion bigger or as big as her father.
