The show used to be a weekly listen for me and by far the greatest AWA podcast ever. I am a major AWA fan even in that lean years. I relive as much as I can through ESPN Classic shows and good old tape trading. However the absolute looney left politics of these Minnesota goof balls turned me off something fierce. These idiots support men in women’s sports.

I grew up in the Chicago land until 80’s. Loved watching AWA every weekend, all the characters were great. Da Crusher, Bobby Hennan, Bockwinkle & Stevens. What a great time in my let and so many great emerging stars.. Thanks Jim in Tuscaloosa AL

Having Jannetty on was a mistake. He’s been erratic and unbelievable for years. That decision resulted in 90 minutes of rambling, pitiful trash. Your production value is always marginal, but you’ve had great shows in spite of it. Brunzell was the high point. But having Jannetty on despite his recent lunatic ramblings and clear impairment was a total waste. Should have made like Verne and taped over that episode.

Enjoy this a whole lot. Thanks for doing it. Love the banter, the stories, and the memories.

We never hear anything about Mitsu Arakawa and Dr Moto. They were AWA tag team champs.

This is the best podcast ! A trip back to my childhood with three funny, talented and amazing hosts !!!!

I love how you tell the story of the AWA with out ether bias or favoritism they stories are not just about the good days there about every part of the AWA & i love that you don’t take it super serious just guy’s telling there’s stories.

What a great podcast series. Really enjoy hearing the stories and interviews thank you guys for doing this. I am from Tennessee but really loved the AWA. Being a minister I appreciate you keeping this podcast cleaner than most of the ones out there. Just recently found out about you and have enjoyed binge watching and listening. Keep it up!!

All of your guests so far have been great but Mike is a stellar guy who stood out. Absolutely a tremendous guest. His personality and story telling ability is second to none. I worked security in Milwaukee with a very young baby faced Mike in the mid 80’s when he was just breaking in to the business. His dedication to training and his drive to succeed was undeniable. Well liked by all, it was a pleasure being associated with him. With his wealth of knowledge and experience If he’s willing to I think he would make a great permanent addition to the Unleashed team. I hope you’ll consider this to make an entertaining and informative podcast even better. 👍

I’ve been searching for AWA content all over the podcast world. Searching for the more well known guys talk about the AWA, there just isn’t a lot of content until now! This is so great. I attended my first live wrestling event in the 1980s as a kid in Jamestown ND I remember it to this day. It was my introduction to pro wrestling. This is what I’ve been looking for it’s just awesome. Great job and this is at the top of my weekly listening from here out.

Thank you, Mick Karch George Schire Chris Tubbs, for coming together to do the AWA Unleashed Podcast. I’m subscribed to AWA Unleashed Podcast on Apple Podcast/iTunes. I plan on watching AWA Unleashed Podcast on Chris Tubbs’ YouTube channel. I enjoyed AWA Unleashed Podcast a lot. I look forward to coming along with you guys for the ride AWA Unleashed Podcast.

The memories discussed were part of my childhood and growing up years. Having met Verne and also having the chance to talk wrestling, hunting, and other things with him, I know he would love this podcast too. Keep up the good work!

Better than a Conrad Thomson podcast. Enjoy

What a great podcast. It is so good to see the AWA finally getting it’s own show. The AWA was one of the greatest wrestling organizations in history with a talent roster second to none. And a huge shout out to Chris Stubbs, George Schire and Mick Karch. Thank you for putting it all together guys. Can’t wait for the next episode!

Thanks to the three of you for hosting this show. It is very entertaining and I look forward to each episode. Please let us know if there was a real person named Stanley Blackburn. I recall telegrams and references by Wally Carbo, but don’t recall ever seeing Mr Blackburn on television. Thanks

George Schire and crew do an excellent job talking about the glory days of the AWA!

I have loved The American Wrestling Association since I was a kid. I always dreamed of having my own AWA podcast, the good news is I don’t have to now! Finally here is a pod covering everything AWA and with Mick Karch and George Schire here , I know I’m getting the straight juice right from the horse’s mouth! I love it already and cannot wait for what the future holds , the stories, the guests…. Wow. If you love professional wrestling this is the podcast to try!

The podcast was excellent. If you were an awa fan this podcast is a must! I can’t wait for the next one!!

Great idea for a podcast and with George’s historical insight this should be a great listen! I can’t wait for future episodes!

Listening to Mick & George is fascinatingly entertaining AND educational! I was a fan, turned cameraman for the local scene & this is history for me! Loving every minute of it! Great job, gentlemen!

A must listen to for all historians and fans of old school pro wrestling. Great job Chris, Mick & George!
