The AWA wanted to start a new TV program to kickstart a new era for the company, and created a pilot episode for this new program to shop around TV networks. The show was named the "AWA Team Challenge Series", and it was a total disaster. The "Team Challenge Series" pilot show turned out to be a hilarious disaster featuring GREEN SCREEN entrances, foxy boxing, wrestling matches with no audience, and "cutting edge technology" such as slow motion replays. You really need to see it to believe it.
