AWA The Brawl in St. Paul

About This Movie

AWAA The Brawl in St. Paul has this chaotic energy, it’s all about that raw atmosphere of the wrestling scene in the mid-'80s. The film mixes action and drama with a distinctively festive backdrop, which is just a curious choice for such a brawl-heavy flick. You see wrestlers like The Crusher and The Bruiser, and the performances have that old-school charisma that feels almost larger than life. The pacing is a bit uneven, but that just adds to the charm—like a live event where anything can happen. Practical effects aren’t heavily emphasized, but the crowd reactions give you that visceral, live feel. Definitely a unique piece of wrestling history with a holiday twist.

This film has seen a few different formats over the years, but finding a good quality copy can be a challenge, especially on VHS and DVD. Collectors often discuss its scarcity and the distinct flavor it adds to any wrestling or action collection. The combination of wrestling and a Christmas theme gives it a unique niche appeal, drawing interest from both wrestling fans and those who appreciate oddities in cinema.
