Amen to that,one of the all time great real life characters in wrestling history.

Pretty sad to read all this about Gagne. An AWA history DVD was released only a year or two ago and Verne is interviewed on it and he comes across well and seemed to be living at his large estate at the time so its sad just how fast things in life can take a turn for the worst.

I always wonder just how wrestling history would have changed had Verne not been stuck in his old ways ,refusing to make Hulk Hogan his champion,thus allowing Vince and the WWF to sweep him away ,make him the biggest star in the sports history and see the WWF kill off all the territories piece by piece,state by state.
