Okay, so I wanted to dig into some old-school wrestling, specifically Bill Watts in the AWA. I’ve heard stories, seen some clips, but I wanted the full experience. So here’s how I went about it, and what I found.
Firing Up the ‘Time Machine’
First, I needed to find the footage. I started by Searching. A lot of it is scattered across different, I had to piece things together.
Tracking Down the Matches
I made a list of what I wanted to see. Key matches, promos, anything that screamed “Bill Watts in the AWA.”
- I looked for his feuds.
- I searched for specific years, like “Bill Watts AWA 1975” to narrow it down.
- I even tried variations like “Cowboy Bill Watts AWA.”
Watching and Taking Notes
Then came the fun part – watching! As I watched, I made notes. I did’t just want to passively view; I wanted to understand.
- His Style: What was his in-ring style like? Tough, brawling, technical? I wanted to be specific.
- His Promos: How did he talk on the mic? Was he a fiery, loudmouth, or more of a calculated speaker?
- The Crowd: How did the AWA crowds react to him? Were they cheering, booing, or somewhere in between?
- The Opponents: Who were his big rivals? What made those feuds work?
Putting It All Together
After all the watching, it was time to piece together my thoughts. It’s one thing to see the matches; it’s another to understand the context and why Watts was such a big deal.
For me, seeing Watts in the AWA was about seeing a different era of wrestling. It wasn’t just about the moves in the ring; it was about the whole presentation, the way he carried himself, and the way he made the fans feel.
It wasn’t a quick process, more like a little research project. But totally worth it to get a better handle on a wrestling legend.
