      Thank you sir; as I stated in the interview I couldn’t get enough of the AWA on TSN back in the day and when I first went to Vegas was saddened to find The Showboat had been demolished.

    The reason Larry Nelson left had nothing to do with his career, the law was after him (DUI) and he got out of town.

    How could Greg forget Waylon Jennings. LOL. Being at WrestleRock, I always thought the connection was that the Dukes of Hazzard was on before AWA's weekly Sunday Show, here in the Twin Cities. Waylon, of course, is the singer of the theme song and the narrator. Great interview!!

    Just when I thought all my bitching would get Greg to stop saying DuPont (Network) instead of DuMont, he did it. He started to say DuPont and finally said it correctly, DuMont. As I take great satisfaction in his finally getting it correct after decades, ten seconds later he says DuPont. You can't win :)

      @@jimh.412 Greg says a lot of BS but on this he's right. Hulkamania started in the AWA. You only have to look at the footage to see the reactions when he was with Bockwinkel. IIRC Hogan just arrived in the AWA when they had a group of wrestlers appear on the Phil Donahue Show. Did Hulk get over with the crowd, nope, but guess who was over like Rover with the female audience, Greg Gagne.

    We gonna hear Greg talk about bringing hogan to wcw, coming up with the idea of Monday nitro, firing Vader, coming up with the nwo idea, coming up with dx, creating the brood, discovering Goldberg, creating the shield, signing curt angle, driving Brody to the hospital in Puerto Rico, convincing cena not to turn heel, convincing stone cold to come back to wrestlemania for one more match with Kevin Owens, making peace between cm punk and triple h, sending bischoff home in 99, and bischoff making him sign a contract with a gun to his head???
