You can see they were all having fun ribbing each other. I thought Nick Bockwinkle was going to burst out laughing. RIP Nick. We. Love and miss you. Be in God's care and love.

The High “Cryers” have been “young” since 1974. Bockwinkel was never over the hill and retired on top. Greg get your stuff together!!!

Jumpin Jimmy Brunzell !!! Loved these days !! Plus Bockwinkel was so fucking smooth on his promos !! a true pro

In 1979, a new pro wrestling publication hit newsstands and magazine racks across the nation. Greg Gagne & Jim Brunzell were ranked at #7 in the Tag Team category.

Darn it! I wanted to get my tickets early but I'm about 30 years too late.

What a physique on Gange!!! He should have been managing a Denny’s.

He actually played varsity football at the University of Wyoming, even with a neck that Jim Cornette described as looking like “a roll of dimes.” 😂

0:37 - LMAO look at Nick's reaction when Jumping Jim calls him a jackass. 😂😆

Nick was one of a kind!

A follow-up comment: In the same issue Greg Gagne was ranked at #3 in the now defunct American Wrestling Association (AWA). Jim Brunzell was ranked at #4 in the AWA. Nick Bockwinkel was the AWA World's Heavyweight Champion and was ranked at #6 in the Most Hated Wrestler category.The magazine, BTW, was Pro Wrestling Illustrated.

Chris Bryant The original issue is probably worth a lot. The cover photo has a picture of Dusty Rhodes and Mil Mascaras together on the cover.

mkl62 You can get that one for $30 - $50. There's also a replica of that same issue they came out with and you can grab that one for $5 on ebay.

Nick reminds me of Gene Hackman.🤔

Jim Brunzell: Mr. Pectacular

Taken out of context, this clip looks kind of strange. You have a guy with a tux, another with a warm-up jacket, then you have two guys with no shirts on and no evidence that they're wearing any kind of pants.

Bobby was his manager way back when.

Was this before or after the Winnipeg Arena caught fire like Ric Flair said?

This match was so hot it caused the fire!

I think Mr. Saito was sitting in jail with Ken Patera about this time.

Didn't Saito go to jail with Patera at that time?

But he was "very successful" there.

Only way to describe a tour of the orient is “highly successful”. Everyone knows that.

Greg Gagne looked liked he had to piss or something. Boring asf, even Eric Bischoff, a non-wrestler, clowned him.

Gagne sucked

God the AWA was boring!

The TV matches were usually shit, but the promos were fantastic. The AWA had Nick, Bobby Heenan, Da Crusher, The Baron, The Mad Dog, Ray Stevens, great promo guys all. I'd go to the kitchen or bathroom during a match, but I'd make sure to be back in my seat for the promos.
