RIP VERNE GAGNE 1926-2015

A true legend of pro wrestling has passed away.

A pioneer of pro wrestling in the golden years of the sport. Gagne was the biggest attraction the American Wrestling Association ever had, and he eventually bought the company, then began promoting some of the biggest stars in the industry.

During the 70's he had AWA Wrestling on several major stations including KWGN from Denver and has such great stars as Hulk Hogan, Nick Bokwinkle, Bobby Heenan and many more.

his legacy will live on forever in the business, and for people like me who grew up watching him, he will never be forgotten. Gagne was 89.
