Verne had some characters in the AWA territory my home territorty. I remember Mad Dog, The Baron, The Crusher and Bruiser, the High Flyers, and visting celebs like Dusty, the BlackJacks, Andre. Good matches!

One of the saddest stories in wrestling is how Verne Gagne was not born into wealth but worked hard decade after decade to build first a successful amateur career and then a successful business, and then lost his home and property to a land grab under eminent domain laws. He may have lost the wrestling wars to VKM, but died a much more honorable man than Vince will (even taking into account that accidental death Gagne caused while suffering from dementia).

Verne was a wrestling machine. He really was incredible.

I used watch every show and my dad bought every ppv i grew up in the attitude era but i dont watch any new stuff i always watch old one and his dad will be a legend in the art of wrestling long after he will pass

It was the Dumont network but a lot of folks think it was the DuPont Network.

"I told Verne in 83', let me be me out there...Ill wear black trunks, black vest, drink beers, swear and give everyone the finger...Dad told me it'll never work.."

My dad and I invented MMA, Eric Biscoff, Hulk Hogan, Professional Wrestling, NWO and the internet. Mike Graham helped some.

I had the VHS that’s in the thumbnail.

"Verne trained Farmer Burns" - Greg Gagne

“So basically I told God sure your son might be a superstar one day but right now Verne is better and should get a better push!”

Verne and Greg have all the charisma of a school bus fire.

UFC 1 happened in 1993 Greg lol

I like Vern and Greg Gange but Gene Tunney and Jack Dempsey made millions before Vern was even born.

My dad, Verne Gagne,...gosh what didn't he do??? Verne told Steve Jobs to keep going with that Apple thing kid...Verne also didn't get credit for inventing the air fryer and his initial work on the original lunar module.

5:34 yeah, Verne "stretched" his 8 year old son. I'm sure he cinched it in on the boy to make him respect the business.. 😂👍

Gotta love how Greg twists some things….instead of just saying Verne was the second athlete to ever make $100k a year, he had to say he was the first after babe Ruth to make $100k a year…ok Greg, whatever makes u sleep better at night, bud.

"Verne was the first major star in wrestling" Ummm....Hodge. Thesz. Londas. Hackenschmidt. Rogers. Orville Brown....

You ask this guy a question about a topic he tells ya about cousin & aunt emma 🙉

I have a science based question. Lets say a racist Gagne hired two black wrestlers to wrestle in the AWA in the 1960's, and they headbutt each other at the same time. What is the most likely result from the power of a double black headbutt? A) Both wrestlers are instantly killed, resulting in a double count out. B) Neither black wrestler is affected but the all white members of the studio audience are killed by the shock waves. C) Nothing would happen because Verne would never hire more than 1 token black wrestler at the same time in the AWA.

Soon to be the newest inductee of the Lou Thesz Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame, Greg Gagne. The haters gotta be fuming.🤣 Since Greg has retired from his illustrious Pro Wrestling career as a good guy, the most remarkable thing has happened. He has apparently become one of the most popular Heel attractions on the internet, with legions of internet stalkers, following his every appearance on the web and attempting to mock him, much like I tried to mock Bobby Heenan when I was a 10 year old kid, by chanting "Weasel! Weasel!" at him. Bobby would tell us to shut up, then go over to Rodger Kent's table and tell him to make us brats shut up, and then act flustered that we were calling him names. It was great fun as a kid, and *Bobby was the best.* A little acknowledged fact is Bobby thought highly of Greg's in ring abilities, saying decades later that his weasel suit matches with Greg were great, and The High Flyers were amongst his favorite people to work with. When the GOAT praises you, you gotta be pretty dang good at your job. And the fact that Greg can get 30+ year old men, figuratively shrieking via keyboard at his video clips, when they don't even get a reaction out of Greg (like we did from Bobby), speaks volumes to his continued ability to be a personality and draw attention. Or, maybe it says something about grown ass men, acting like children. I dunno. 🤷‍♂ Anyway, have a wonderful day and God bless ya. 👍

Greg Gagne invented RU-vid.

Now we all know where Hogan learned from. Gagne is so full of it.

His first memory was watching his dad wrestle at less than 1 year old? His lying is pathological at this point

Same old stories.

Greg is insufferable, damn is he delusional…..

You would think that Verne would have made Greg AWA champ at least once. Then again, I'd rather watch paint dry than watch a Greg gagne match.
