Professional wrestling history was made on April 24th 1983.
More than 30,000 fans jammed into two sold-out arenas to witness the first ever
mega-event promoted by the American Wrestling Association.
The Civic Center in St. Paul, Minnesota played host to 20,000 fans while an additional 10,000
fans were watching via closed circuit television next door in the St. Paul Auditorium.
The event sold out in three days. Promotors called it Super Sunday.
Ad in Media presents the classic wrestling documentary called
"Super Sunday: Running Wild"
This two hour Pay-Per-View special was hosted by the legendary wrestling announcer,
"Mean Gene" Okerlund and Roger Tronguard
SO LET'S GIVE PROPER CREDIT TO VERNE GAGNE
as he was the original creator of the first and greatest wrestling event!
