Had the pleasure of talking to Greg and Jim and Vern and a few others from AWA in 75 , 76 , Greg and Jim and Vern all down to earth guys treated us really nice never would the not take time to talk and hang around the dugout that they came out of . Now Billy Robinson was a snob . Thank you Greg .

"I knew it was over the moment I saw Bischoff trying to be talent sitting on a motorcycle doing a 20 minute promo." -King Kong Bundy.

Now you know why nobody legit wants anything to do with these people. They are bad bets. Always. Though that may be turning the corner soon enough.

Greg is a great storyteller but he or his dad always came up with everything under his version of events. So Greg gave WCW all these incredible ideas to beat to the WWF and he hadn't even signed a contract with them yet? Then when he finally signed a contract he doesnt even read what he signs? Greg takes credit for Bischoff going to WCW, Hogan going to WCW, the AWA Vs NWA.angle which turned into NWO Vs WCW, among other things. Still fun to listen to his interviews though lol

I hope Greg Gagne reads these comments. I grew up in Minnesota and there was nothing, absolutely nothing better than the AWA and All-Star Wrestling. It meant so much to everyone, my dad, my uncles, all my family we would never miss it. We saw matches in Long Prairie, Alexandria, and St. Cloud. The Crusher was amazing. Mad Dog Vuchon. We loved Nick Bockwinkle, Super Destroyer, Baron Von Rascke, and the women enjoyed Renee Goulet. Pro-Wrestling was more popular than the Twins or the Vikings all because of Verne Gagne and of course Greg. Your product was far superior to anything coming out of any other city. The WWF, WEF or whatever...They were all the minor leagues. AWA was absolutely the best, and provided wonderful memories for an entire generation. The AWA was a national treasure.

Greg has and is a Class Act!

I remember the magazine covers when he and Jim Brunzell were very popular in Wrestling

He still wanted that Hogan merch.

This sums up the Pro Wrestling Industry in a nutshell. What a shame that this industry is so full of 💩 backstabbing people. This bygone era of the business was the most fun to watch when you had territories.NWA,AWA,UWF,WCCW,RIP🙏

The guy was brilliant especially if the humbling story about him being a salesman selling ninja costumes for children before breaking into the wrestling business is true. I assumed Eric was well spoken...which is rather helpful in any sales related business and even more so the main spokesman for the most popular faction during that wrestling era. I'd say he found his niche, because it worked.

People have reputations for reasons, I have NO love for Bischoff, but stories of Gagne’s arrogance and self involvement abound throughout the industry. It’s like when Dusty Rhodes was managing; he’s such a beloved figure in wrestling that no one likes to talk about how he was a booker who routinely screwed wrestlers out of pay. Elevating our heroes to a place where they are infallible and beyond reproach is a mistake, and one I won’t be making. Greg had a great career and seems to be a decent person. He can be all of those things and still make a few mistakes along the way. It’s called “being human”.

This does not make any sense. Gagne says that he agreed to work for WCW but ONLY for the incentives. As he said, if the ratings don't go up, "I don't get paid" (2:35). But then he STAYS--for no money--until he later gets fired by Bischoff?! Something's missing here.
