Greg Gagne discusses how Vince McMahon stole Hulk Hogan from his father's company AWA. Stream New Shoot Interviews 📺 TitleMatchNetwo...
Former AWA star/promoter and WCW agent/WWE trainer Greg Gagne talks about the talent raid of the American Wrestling Alliance.
Back in the 1980s, Vince McMahon purchased the WWF from his father. It was during this time that McMahon would start buying out regional wrestling promotions or signing away their top talent.
Vince would also buy out TV time from different wrestling markets. One of McMahon's biggest targets was the AWA ran by Verne Gagne. Hulk Hogan was the top star of the AWA before Vince signed to an exclusive contract, making him miss his last 6 scheduled AWA dates.
Aside from Hulk Hogan, Vince also signed away Jesse Ventura, Bobby Heenan, Mean Gene Okerlund, David Schultz, Ken Patera, Adrian Adonis, Tito Santana, Jim Brunzell and Wendi Richter from the AWA.
Greg describes that it was his father Verne who was ready to tour the country with Hulk Hogan vs Andre the Giant, years before Wrestlemania 3!
