Jim Cornette & Stan Hansen ~ AWA Battles & Destroying The AWA Belt 

The sight of Stan Hansen doing the “YOUTH” chant while quitting the AWA and walking out of Verne’s office is a hilarious visual.

Hard to believe he has such a gentle demeanor in retirement. Back in his day, he was scarier than Brock Lesnar in his prime.

Stan had the absolute meanest closeline/lariat ever! And yet, he's just a down home good ol' boy at heart.

One of the greatest ever. One of my favorites. Seems like such a nice guy. Mick Foley, Terry Funk, Stan Hansen , Bruiser Brody. Four great wrestlers.

With Stan Hansen's eye sight, I can believe he went over the AWA belt repeatedly without realising...

I can imagine Stan giving the AWA title a lariat just to get Verne back

Stan is my all time favorite heel man when he hit you with that clothesline damn it made a crash sound huge guy in person but very nice

I was not a Stan Hansen fan at the time but I knew his reputation and knew that something should happen with his run . Timng was bad though . Hansen was a throwback , old school rough tough SOB while the business was moving toward longhairs with muscles . Verne was typically late to the draw

Dude was a God in NJPR big giant heel in Japan they made him huge

Stan Hansen that one way to get one over on way out! CM Punk couldn’t even do that!

Stan would have flattened bald headed Verne

Stan Hanson wow one of my favorite wrestler s bar none I just loved to see Stan just beat the crap out of whoever gets disqualified spits tobbaco juice all over whoever happened to be in the way great wrestler great person great interviews

That AWA belt was more torn up than the old WWF Hardcore title already.

You know I try to defend Verne on some subjects but this is the one ,even more than putting the belt on dumbass Hogan that I can’t . I thought Martel and Hansen were a way to break out of the Bockwinkle rut the AWA had been in ( and I thought Nick was great j) . Those two and Sgt Slaughter might have helped keep them relevant a bit longer but who knows.

Stan looking good in his old age.👍
