## Resource

On this episode of Hands of Z, the boys look at Ronnie Garvin and Larry Z in late 80s/early 90's AWA matches with up and comers who would go on to brighter lights and stage, It's Garvin vs. Scott Steiner for the AWA International TV Title from 9/18/1988 and Larry Z faces The Trooper (who would go on to be former GWF North American Champion, Former WCW Tag Team Champion and former WWF star, The Patriot) in a match for the AWA World Title on 4/19/1990. Some good nuggets in this one!
