Oh wow! That's so crazy that you got to interview Greg Gagne on your channel! Also crazy to see how much your room has changed from two years ago until now. Impressive!
It has me emotional to see that you are expanding to add in the shoot interviews now with these legends! Been going through some stuff so haven't been able to keep up with some of the recent uploads but I am excited to go back and check out this interview and the one with The Magnum TA...And if there was one thing I would want to know brother from the Magnum it would be if he's STILL HOT....Over the night he had the car wrecked!
Great interview with Greg Gagne! I still remember walking into Quality Farm & Fleet with my Dad in either 1985 or early 1986 and seeing the AWA Remco figures for the first time. I walked out with Martel and Baron and Flair and Zbyszko. The Remcos were my favorite wrestling figures of the 1980s.
This is brilliant Jason!!! Greg's memories are fantastic and as an old school fan, I was totally enthralled and just found myself smiling at the stories. thank you mate for bringing this to us 👌👍😊😎
Great interview. Love hearing the stories and backstories of the 70’s and 80’s how talent was acquired, trained and how they left. Hearing about the tv markets and different parts of the country good stuff.
Jason, kudos to you mate. Your knowledge of this period of wrestling allowed this interview to flow naturally. Intriguing and insightful! Well done Jason 👍👍👍
Wow, been following the channel for awhile now and just watched this. What a great interview and great job by Jason. Jason is really good at asking the questions and follow ups. Hope there's more interviews buddy!
OMG I remember watching the AWA at the showboat in Atlantic City NJ since that's my home state anyway but I was real young that's when I start watching the AWA and then I started watching wrestling it used to be AWA wrestling pro that used to come on on Saturdays after championship wrestling WWF, yeah but I remember those days coming home and watching AWA on ESPN 4:00 p.m. Eastern standard Time, those were some good days you appreciated the product, and I've been wanting to wrestling since 1977 when Bob backlund was the world wide wrestling federation champion, and then that's when I started watching NWA back in 1985 my first match with the NWA was when Magnum TA beat Wahoo McDaniels for the United States heavyweight championship in the steel cage, but the AWA always had a piece of my heart, can't believe I've been watching wrestling for 45 years well not now it's garbage now there's no kind of wrestling and what it is now yes you have your moments, but it was nothing like the Crockett promotion the AWA and WWWF WWF and yes some of WWE, and I love those interviews and a empty arena when wrestlers actually looked inside the camera instead of putting on a big facade act like they had drama class SMH
I'm gonna give Greg a pass on that CM Punk thing. He does that and maybe it's a byproduct of being erased by the wrestling business. But take this for what it's worth. At one time in the AWA, we had the Road Warriors both from Minnesota, not Chicago. We had Flair Hogan and Shawn Michaels. And we had Bobby Heenan and Mean Gene in support roles. Had McMahon not raided talent who could have beaten the AWA? And the two men to challenge Vince and the WWF were Paul and Eric both of who worked for the AWA. Granted Verne may not have been able to do it, but even Hogan thought Greg could have and Hogan gives credit to Greg for saving his career in his book.
@@gopherstate777 not taking anything from Verne Gagne he train many hall of fame talent but Greg contentedly trying to credit form other people is starting to get bad I know he has beef with Eric but I don't remember Paul Hayman doing anything to him 🤔
Great interview. Greg comes off as a really great Legend. Looking forward to more of these perhaps!

Love these interviews. Greg still looks fighting fit.
Always great hearing from Greg Gagne! In previous interviews with other hosts, he had some very interesting things to say about Eric Bischoff!

I've been waiting decades for a Dick the bruiser action figure
I got a dick the bruiser toy that you can play with
Great interview. But it was to short for me.
Thanks. We had some Zoom issues which cut it short. There is a Magnum TA interview also
I accidentally deleted your last comment. I didn’t pay them. I had a contact who set me up with the two interviews
The AWA should have had contracts from day 1. They didn't even have contracts with tv studios.
Different time I guess
4:32 he's actually taking credit from Paul Haymen

"See when I first met Andre he was 6'2 and starving. After my dad and I worked with him, we got him to 7'4 and he started drawing money" -Greg Gagne
Was Greg ever more than 195 pounds?
165 pounds probably
