Future of AWA in Question?

When was the last time you saw anything big coming out of the AWA in the last 3 months? Apparently, not many people have, including Wrestling Midwest management. Sault St. Marie, one of the biggest proponents of the AWA wonders how much longer the group will even survive.

“WMW Burn, in September, was the last time we saw any real life in the AWA, said WMW General Manager Sault St. Marie. “We respect what [JC Barr and] the AWA [have] done since we first entered into the contract with them but, we can’t keep sitting around and hoping that things will straighten up. We’ve got to do something about it.”

St. Marie said that he sees a lot of the groups that invested into the AWA pulling out or just waiting until thier contracts expire.

On whether or not WMW is doing that, he said, “We probably could be doing more, ourselves. But that’s a generic statement that could be applied to everyone. Everyone could be doing more, but the people who should be doing something, haven’t been. And that’s why we’re in the situation we are now.”

All though St. Marie would talk about specifics, he did say that their contract with the AWA goes up in December, and that when that happens, they’ll keep all of their options in consideration.

One silver lining is a potential supercard, featuring an AWA Championship match. Current proposed ideas include all remaining groups holding tournaments to select their 1 representative, and the supercard being a 4-corners match to crown the very first AWA Champion. Nothing official has been announced.
