From the Desk of Mr. Saint Laurent:
Just wanted to draw some attention to a fairly significant event for those of us who are wrestling historians. February 4 in Orlando, FL at a show being held after the Zero1 training camp, Larry Zbyszko, who never lost the AWA World Heavyweight title will be putting up his belt against The Almighty Sheik, who will be putting up the NWA World Heavyweight title he never lost.
Both men claim to be the "real" World Heavyweight Champion and they have agreed to unify their titles to create one real world champion. For whatever that is worth in this day and age.
It will not be some double DQ screwjob or some lame countout. Someone will be walking out with both the NWA and AWA world title belts. Larry still has his original title belt and The Sheik still has the NWA title belt. The NWA has been using a $200 replica belt since stripping the Sheik.
The show is being held at the Team Vision Dojo, as is the Zero1 camp. More information is available at: www.ibelieveinwrestling.com
I've worked long and hard to put this match together for no reason other than my own personal interest in the history of the business and the history of the Heavyweight world championship of wrestling. I consider it worthy of mention as I'm not sure there's been a match like this in quite some time.
