St. Paul Civic Center

Uh, Tim Harmston, first concert you ever saw.

Aerosmith, uh, St. Paul Civic Center.

Oh, really?

With, with Dokken.

Yeah.

Like, and, and-

I'm still, I'm still hung up on the St. Paul Civic Center.

[laughs]

I mean, come on.

You're talking about the sellouts, Joe, at the St. Paul Civic Center, against the High Flyers in particular.

Adonis was the wrestler.

jesse was the mouthpiece and this of course is adrian way before he was the 400 pound adrian this is the guy that beat up people uh frankie the fish on the day on the docks in new york um tremendous tag team individually they had their own pluses and uh it gelled it was magic

The heat that Jerry brought to the ring, the only thing that dwarfed it was his ability to cut a promo.

For a big man, his work... inside the ring and his believability i mean jerry just take a look at his work now by the way no jerry was not 600 and 468 pounds or 472 pounds i think i used that weight for both graphics at certain times but jerry was up there you know what would you say mick high 300s

Oh, had to be because, again, the night at the St. Paul Civic Center when Al Darusha asked Jerry what his weight was.

So you may be underestimating, and Jerry said to him, and I heard him, 460 plus the jack-up.

Now to ringside for all the great action.

So, AWA Super Sunday took place Sunday, April 24th from the St. Paul Civic Center in St. Paul, Minnesota.

There were eight matches on this card.

Ben, which thing is this show? This is your very first AWA show.

That dude didn't want nothing to do with that.

Verne wanted nothing to do with me until he knew that I could sell programs at the St. Paul Coliseum, St. Paul Civic Center at the Armory.

Yep.

That's when Verne liked me, 'cause I was a salesman.

I still get chills.

I still tear up when I when I think of the St. Paul Civic Center, July 17th, July 19th, 17th or 13th, July 13th.

1996.

We're in the front row.

There are certain people who are just supposed to be in front of you holding a guitar; he's one of them.

We dig into the just discovered Bruce Springsteen video for Dancing in the Dark, and St. Paul Civic Center, you made him look like a great dancer.

Plus, it's Double or Nothing Wisconsin style.

See just how much you know about cheese.

And it was also

filmed at the St. Paul Civic Center, if you didn't know.

Yeah, I knew

that, yeah.

We're jumping over to the AWA.

We're heading to St. Paul, Minnesota at the St. Paul Civic Center.

It is May 13th, 1984, and we are gonna be watching Jumbo Tsuruta, the current reigning and defending AWA World Champion defend his title against Rick Martel.

Should be a very, very interesting match.

They ran the Met Center in Minneapolis, put 15,000 in the building, for Paul Orndorff versus Roddy Piper and Hulk Hogan versus Randy Savage and a lot of other big-time names on there.

And AWA, they ran at the St. Paul Civic Center the same night.

Now, they claim $14,300 for that.

I don't know.
