I have been watching ESPN Classic latley an watching Vern Gange AWA wrestlig a lot an was wondering they had a masked tag team called The Texas Hangman which were very impressive,does anyone have any information on who these guys were, also who was theTrooper ,don't believe I have seen him anywhere else after AWA.It brings back memories of the good old days of wrestling,see a lot of guys who were coming up an become stars,an also a lot of ledgends.

The Hangmen were Mike Moran (a/k/a Mean Mike) and Rick Gantner (a/k/a Bull Pain), who also wrestled as Disorderly Conduct for WCW.
The Trooper was Del Wilkes, most notable for the Patriot gimmick.

my friendly cable company has new moved ESPN Classics to a new tier of programming that we have to pay extra for!
My addiction to those old AWA shows has not been fed in weeks.
Loved to make my son watch those with me to understand what pro-wrestling was like before large doses of "entertainment" was added.
