Red Bastien Larry Hennig Road Warriors Larry Zbyszko Playboy Buddy Rose Jim Brunzell Johnny Valiant Diamond Dallas Page Jimmy Snuka Bruiser Brody Don Muraco Curt Hennig Sherri Martel The Vachons The Crusher Ray Stevens Nick Bockwinkel Bobby Heenan Iron Sheik Angelo Mosca
Could someone please look over that list to verify I'm correct that all those people I listed were once in the AWA?
Also, please list any LOW wrestlers who once wrestled in the AWA that I didn't include in the list up above. I think King Kong Bundy, Giant Baba, Jimmy Valiant, and Masked Superstar were some of the others who were once in the AWA, but I wasn't sure so I didn't list them.
I'm trying to figure all this out because I'm planning an upcoming AWA-related angle in my LOW fed. Thank you!

Other than Muraco and Mosca, I definitely recall all of those in the AWA. I think Sheik went under another name though...Hussein Arab IIRC.

Mosca was, not sure about Muraco.
Bundy, Dennis Condrey & Harley Race were there. Jimmy Valiant too
Johnny V. was a manager in the AWA
according to wikipedia's AWA alumni Ox Baker & Bobo Brazil were also there

Muraco worked there as a face in the early 70s. He teamed up with either Billy Robinson or Red Bastein, I don't recall which one.
I remember that he was supposed to come in towards the end of the promotion when Larry Zybszko was champ, but I don't recall if he actually ever wrestled.

Iron Sheik did go by the name of The Great Hossein Arab in Maple Leaf Wrestling.

I've recently discovered the AWA through youtube and took a renewed interest in Larry Zbyszko, Nick Bockwinkel and Ray Stevens.

I remember a match between the Roadies and Bundy and Blackwell......Bundy looked a bit different as I recall.
