I remember going to a Pro Wrestling USA card in New Haven in 1985. I think it was the first of two or three that were held there before the venue reverted to WWF only. Don't remember anything about the card, but the line at the box office was full of knowledgeable wrestling fans talking excitedly about getting to see NWA and AWA talent.

They really put together some loaded cards. It didn't matter though.
