"The Franchise" CHA CHA CHARLIE goes one-on-one with "The Original Bro" former WWE Superstar MATT RIDDLE at The Tank Brewing Company in Miami, FL
He was AWA World Champion. But the promotion was already burning.
This is the untold story of the Last Champion of a Dead Empire.
In December 1989, Larry Zbyszko defeated Masa Saito to win the AWA World
Heavyweight Championship — the most prestigious title in North American
wrestling outside the NWA. But by 1989, the AWA was a company in freefall.
Hulk Hogan had already left. Verne Gagne had already refused every buyout
offer. The crowds had already gone.
What followed was one of the most tragic title reigns in wrestling history.
Zbyszko defended the belt in armories, in Guam, and at events the wrestling
world had already forgotten. Not because he wasn't worthy. But because the
empire beneath him was already dust.
This is the story of Verne Gagne's pride, Vince McMahon's expansion, and one
man left holding a belt that had nowhere left to go. Larry Zbyszko didn't
just win a championship. He inherited a dying empire's last symbol.
After a confrontation last week, Tessa Blanchard takes on Harley Hudson.
This week on Ground Zero, Axel Tischer and Donovan Dijak step into the ring after the insane turn of events last week, with Tischer revealing himself as the mystery masked attacker, attacking Dijak, and aligning with Big Damo. The Maharaja wants another shot at the opportunity to be crowned as WXM’s first-ever Heavyweight Champion, as he puts his career on the line against Sha Samuels for the spot in the 4-way at BreakPoint. With a spectacular women’s match featuring Suzu and Kanji and a mega tag match featuring Kevin Malik, Zack Sabre Jr., Robbie X and Jack Morris, the episode is absolutely stacked from top to bottom.
So gear up for action, drama and a whole lot of XTREME!!! Check out Ground Zero EP 23 NOW and follow our socials, to never miss an update!
WXM is more than a wrestling promotion – it is a movement built on grit, ambition, and the belief that Indian pro-wrestling deserves its own spotlight on the global sports entertainment stage.
