The company from the early 90's where Tito Santana was their champion. I was looking at an old wrestling magazine & didn't realize these two wrestled there individually not against each other. Was it the original Doink? Did their matches make it on TV?

Took a glance at AWFs CageMatch page and neither were listed as roster members from any of the three years the promotion was around, and neither seemed to have worked a single match there to begin with.

Matt Osbourne is listed in the Alumni on Wikipedia as portraying Doink, but not sure how reliable it is. He was there in 1995 according to the source.

Sabu did wrestle there because I remember the opening video for AWF they showed Sabu in the ring wrestling but not once did I ever see a match with Sabu.
My guess is that he was on the first card for AWF, they filmed all the guys that night to use for the opening video and that was it, because Sabu never did wrestle on any one episode and I watched them all since I had the DVD set of the AWF.
By the way, Tito Santana vs. Bob Orton for the AWF Title is one of the greatest matches I have ever seen. It went well over 30 minutes and was just a technical masterpiece.

Any other recommendations from the DVD? |

None that I can remember.
I remember watching AWF on TV too when it aired so I remember watching the Orton vs. Santana match then and I remembered it was good, and when I watched it again on DVD like 15 years later, it was still as good if not better than I remember.
Tito Santana owned and ran the AWF thus why he was the AWF Champion for that company. Greg Valentine and Tommy Rich were the AWF Tag Champions and the Road Warriors were the main team to go after them but the company closed down before they won the belts. Then they ended up in the WWF in 1997 anyhow.
