Imagine giving a dude a pirate gimmick and then firing him because he wasn’t a good enough pirate. At least his next run was an incest gimmick. Vince the genius.
Greg Gagne was a very good wrestler (CONTRARILY) to what some haters and nobody's in all these comment sections say. I'll wager over 95% of these people never saw him actually wrestle. Only knock on him was he was thin and not heavy.. He would fit in perfectly today with all these guy's in the WE who are all 190 lbs.

Funny aside. When the Midnight Rockers were in the AWA they’d usually drop in some pop culture reference. Usually a music group like Bon Jovi or something. And after Verne would see the promos he’d tell them to stop mentioning “their friends” on TV.
How come is it that only people from exotic destinations get to have their own "Death Match"? Algerian death match, Mongolian Death match, Singapore Death match, etc....

I think the story behind that is Vince never saw Pirates of the Caribbean so he scrapped it. I'm not sure who came up with the idea, but it was good, especially his entrance.

Nah Vince likes humiliating pretty women. And they love it... until the checks stop. Then suddenly it is sex trafficking... yeah sex trafficing will pop off the affidavit he'll have to settle.
Verne never had a match that was referred to as the drizzling shits. Only Vince did and I'm sure it was rated as 5 stars, especially considering how much protein he ate.
To Paul Birchill's credit, he got the damn gimmick over, cuz they wanted a pirate cuz it was the 2000s, Jack Sparrow was Johnny Depp's biggest role at the time but story has it Vince took one look at it and said "what the fucknis that?!" And axed it along with Paul for some reason, which is weird cuz PCO when he was a pirate was okay but not Paul Burchill who got it over and was actually fantastic in the ring like wtf? Shame, Paul's one of those "what if's" from that era.
Since Greg has retired from his illustrious Pro Wrestling career as a good guy, the most remarkable thing has happened. He has apparently become one of the most popular Heel attractions on the internet, with legions of internet stalkers, following his every appearance on the web and attempting to mock him. Much like I tried to mock Bobby Heenan when I was a 10 year old kid, by chanting "Weasel! Weasel!" at him. Bobby would tell us to shut up, then go over to Rodger Kent's table and tell him to make us brats shut up, and then act flustered that we were calling him names. It was great fun as a kid, and *Bobby was the best.* A little acknowledged fact is Bobby thought highly of Greg's in ring abilities, saying decades later that his weasel suit matches with Greg were great, and The High Flyers were amongst his favorite people to work with. When the GOAT praises you, you gotta be pretty dang good at your job. And the fact that Greg can get 30+ year old men, figuratively shrieking via keyboard at his video clips, when they don't even get a reaction out of Greg (like we did from Bobby), speaks volumes to his continued ability to be a personality and draw attention. Or, maybe it says something about grown ass men, acting like children. I dunno. 🤷♂ Anyway, have a wonderful day and God bless ya. 👍
It's as ridiculous as having a pro wrestler pitch up with no experience of TV show writting to start writting scripts for those TV shows. Then everybody around says its ridiculous but the boss says to just do it because they are similar genres so why not! Then they winder why the shows start to suck and hardly anyone watches it anymore compared to when they had TV show script writters who had worked previously on TV shows or acted in them. It's why when people used to say Vince was a "genius" i would say no he's not as only an idiot would do that sort of obvious ridiculousness or else somebody with such a massive sense of shame & inferiority that he wants to hire more "respected" people to try to legitimise his product as being up there with such shows as Seinfeld etcm even at the detriment of his product instead of being balls out & having a who gives a F what others think about my genre of entertainment and sticking to a sucessful formula. Thr fact he did that makes u lose respect for him even before any the exposures were known. Not sure why the ringboy scandal has just been swept unser the rug for the last 30 years. A worse scandal that this adult woman, these were minors.
His dad went out of business because he would rather shortchange the wrestlers and go on ski trips on the wrestlers dime. They had mean gene, Jesse Ventura Hogan. Just to name a few.Hogan probobly made Vince a billion dollars. Vince didn’t put these guys out of business. They put themselves out of business. ZERO sympathy for any of the promoters that flopped. They did it to themselves.
His father literally turned a lot of those guy's into millionaires because they were taught to actually wrestle. You can undermine Verne Gagne all you want but there isn't a man in history who turned out more Superstars than Verne. A who's who list of all time greats

Why on earth wasn't Greg asked about his push in AWA. He certainly didn't look the part but was Verne's son. Nobody bought him as a main eventer.
Greg Gagne: the cause of, and solution to, all of life’s problems.

Greg is a good man. Have always thought that. His dad was the same. Honest astheday is long.
Respect that Greg was pissed for Paul that he was fired from what he worked hard at and wanted to be because "They" thought he made a poor pirate.
