I was Flair's limo driver in 1993 (coming off Starrcade), and after he beat Vader, I told him he and Hogan could do a great program. Flair said, "WOOO! Let's give him a call!" I got the Hulkster on the phone - he was in the middle of boffing Heather Clem - and he asked, "Whatcha gonna do to get the Hulkster to work for YOU, brutha?" I told him $600K and 25% of the PPV and minimal work. Hogan stroked his porn stache and said, "That's not gonna work for me, brutha, talk to my agent." I did, and the rest is history.

It’s absolutely ridiculous. I don’t think either one of them (I know for sure Greg hasn’t, not sure about Verne) ever admitted that it was a MASSIVE mistake not pulling the trigger on Hulk Hogan and having him win the AWA title in April 1983. That was the time for him to win it because he was absolutely white hot, but they did that stupid Dusty finish and those fans in St. Paul nearly rioted. And I think that’s what sped up Hogan’s decision to go to WWF, that along with Verne wanting a percentage of the money Hulk was making in Japan. But if you listen to Greg, he’d have you believe they had all these big plans for Hogan yet they got screwed over by Hogan, Vince, and to some extent Andre

It’s always enlightening how many guys you hear came up with every successful thing WCW ever did but Bischoff stole their idea and got the credit for what they did but ironically they never had any part in anything that failed because that was entirely Bischoff. Always nice to see how genius they all were considering the times they had their own territories where they could carry out any idea they may have had it was entirely a failure. Odd how that seems to work. They have the ability to do what they want - no good ideas. But when they were in roles where they didn’t have that authority suddenly every idea was a home run that everybody took from them and got credit for. But somehow that genius didn’t continue after they left WCW either. So fascinating how the genius ideas were so condensed into certain time periods considering just how amazing their minds were.

I think Gagné is projecting when he says stuff like that lol

Greg Gagne has always been a storyteller.

Interesting note, in Hogan's first book, there is no mention of Greg Gagne being the man behind the Hulkster moving to WCW. Not at I recall.

Greg Gagne invented wrestling.

The story of who got Hogan into WCW is very simple, both Flair and Bischoff have said that Bischoff asked Flair to contact Hogan and set up a meeting. Chances are that's what happend. Though that being said, according to Jim Ross, Hogan had tried to get into WCW in 1993 when Bill Watts was still in charge, but, Hogan didn't like Watts so it didn't happen.

Hogan, Flair, and Bischoff all tell the same exact story in 3 different books in various shoots. Flair and Bischoff didn't bury the hatchet until years after these books so it's not like Bischoff or Flair didn't have reason to lie. But Hogan's book was first and he tells the same story.

When Flair couldn't get Hulk he immediately called Mike Graham and Greg Gagne.

Greg Gagne was so heavy on lies here but still this was funny

Eric "long pause" Bischoff. Priceless!!

If only Greg had a wrestling company with TV back then. With all his ideas, he coulda ran an awesome territory

Exactly and the awa wouldn't have sunk like a Boulder in the ocean

Everyone else was coasting. Vince was building. That's why Vince won.

So Greg got Hogan into WCW, went behind Bischoff's back with Hogan to try and do a big money deal, and then was going to murder Bischoff.....

Everyone loves taking credit for making the call and getting Hogan to WCW. Yet none of them mention that by this point Hogan had been in multiple films and has an agent. So getting Hogan “committed to sit down and talk,” would be as easy as calling his agent and setting up a meeting. Fucking carnies.

I know dude!! This doesn't get enough attention. There was another interview with Greg where he talks more indepth about Karelin. From what it sounds like, Karelin was more interested in signing with WCW than WWF. My dream though would have been to see Karelin compete in MMA. Real MMA, not that Rings fight lol.

Greg Gagne was the main advisor during the writing of the Bible.

And he told me he didn't like the weather in Atlanta, then he said can you call God, and I said I've got his number I can get God but I want a deal.

That entire story is bullshit anyway and has been debunked by many people. It was Flair who got Hogan to come to WCW. Had it been Greg who contacted Hulk about coming in, Hogan would’ve never agreed to it. He still hated the Gagnes for how he was treated in AWA

Never drew a dime! Both of them!

Some of these Greg stories have changed over the years. He used to say that he didn't read the contract before he signed it. Now he says there was no contract to sign because the deal was done. As Jim Brunzell said, Greg is fos like Verne but only Verne could get away with it. In the end not even Verne got away with it.

I told Tony Khan " book wembley, you'll get at least 80,000"

It’s 2am and I’m listening to Greg Gagne

Greg Gagne's not throwing anyone out of a window...let alone the 14th floor. Christ, that's like a guy from Human Resources saying " Next time I see Johnson, I'm gonna horsecollar him and run him into the wall".

Greg ,definitely lives in a fantasy world .

"So I told Vince,ya gotta go national and expand!"

He needs to come back to earth!! Man!!

I told Eric go to WCW hire away Hall and Nash call them the Outsiders and create the NWO turning Hulk heel. It will get over - Greg Gagne

Did the interveiwer not listen to anything Greg said?

At 10:52 Greg states that Eric some how got Hulks number. Actully it was Hogan who contacted Eric right after Greg called him, because Hulk really never trusted Greg or Vern. Thats why Hulk wanted to make the deal with Eric and not Greg. Thats what Eric says. Im no fan of Eric Bischoff, but I beleive his take on this one. Then Eric and Ric visited the Hulk on the set of Thunder in Paradise to close the deal.

No, Flair contacted Hogan for Bischoff. All three have verified this. Gagne had nothing to do with it.
