Even Hogan blushes listening to Greg stretch the truth.
Love the idea of Greg Gange just sitting at home waiting for that call from RF Video.
"Mick Jagger said I'm gonna leave the Rolling Stones, but then me n my dad, good friends with Keith Richards, said hey don't do that. We'll put this concert together and it'll be great. Hulk Hogan, Dana White, and Rob Zombie will show up, and that's how Woodstock happened."
People bash Greg (most deserved)...but a lot of greats say he had great psychology and timing, can take a bump. Had he stayed a trainer and an agent, out of the ring and the booking room he would have a better reputation.
They bash his inability to be honest. He tell massive whoppers
100%
Thank you for posting this
That's pretty cool he mentioned the small nothing town of Moline,IL. I currently live here, and have lived here off n on my whole life.. That Mean Gene Interview would be a Good Interview to post.. And that Video Company he was trying too think of could it have been Coliseum Video Possibly.? Thanks for this interview...
Back in the day we were a regular stop for the awa they used to use modern wooden park for out door matches Palmer auditorium Wharton field house
@@johnramsey5551 im very familiar with the locations mentioned, two Davenport locations and two Moline locations.. Thanks for your response conforming this..
CCR mentioned it in their song "it came out of the sky"
Lol funny how he cant remember his idea about the challenge series when he admitted it was his idea in the documentary, but has a great memory on all the good ideas he allegedly came up with lmao. 😂
Bobby Heenan when asked if Verne gave his son too much of a push. "No he should have pushed him more. Should have pushed him right off a cliff."
Yet his recollections of Verne are the same as Greg’s …
Appreciate the interview. Thank you..
fantastic interview
Man ,Greg selling out high school gymnasiums …future superstar!
That's at least 175- 200 people. Big big money 💰
He was actually pretty popular
'They worked 366 days out of the year' Greg must've been in the same math class as Hogan.
Maybe it was the leap year...😂😂😂😂
I get what he was saying
I always liked Verne and Greg. Down to Earth, straight forward ,matter of fact, midwestern American guys.
greg was the start of the body guys 🤣
Greg "So I told Jack Nicklaus to work more on his golf swing" The rest is history.
Thanks 🙏
This is a very good interview. Greg is very interesting.
He’s a grade A liar but I guess that’s interesting in its own way.
If by interesting you mean liar, then I agree.
Billy Robinson is one of the toughest dudes ever. He was teaching catch wrestling before these jiu-jitsu guys came on the scene.
But he couldn’t handle bob reamus
I believe every word of the Hogan story
Great comments about him and Brodie .. he gets it ..
I love how everyone gets on Greg for stretching the stories he believes to be true, everyone always fails to consider how people all see a different reality, everyone.....take 100 people and make them all experience the same holiday, every single person will have his version of what the holiday was like, good or bad, great food, bad food. Great bed crap bed, even every conversation that takes place...
You make sure they all get exactly the same experience and ask them questions afterwards and every single person will have a different version of events, that's just the way we are, it cannot be helped.
What you do get from Greg is a sincere appearance, no hesitation, this is really the way he remembers it to be, don't forget his dad would've had his version too which was largely a part of Greg's upbringing so he would've gotten much of his opinion from what his dad had told him and what he saw through the eyes of a naive young man who was being kayfabed by many guys and played with because of the mistrust due to his dad...
I appreciate Greg's version, it gives another side of a coin that isn't just the same as what others say..most of which is second hand information whiles Greg's stories are at least his own experience and side of it. ❤
Great History
Top Notch.
It was me n Jim against the Rock and Jim Londos n nobody ever saw anything in them but my dad said "this kid Londos has something special" and the Rock was already extablished so dad, Tony Khan, and Jack Curley got together and created StarrCade.
Nobody would watch Greg and he only got a spot because of his Dad. He said Bockwinkle was OK?
It seems Greg inherited his father’s I walk on water attitude.
The water of Lake Minnetonka sank them.
Na na na na na na na na na! Na na na na na na na na na na! Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na!….. Well I'm no angel, now, I'll admit
I made a few bad moves….. hold on I started singing Eddie Money 🎶 🎸 😂
Well idk why they didn’t give him WCW in 2001… he would have singlehandedly saved it.
Greg is such a good b.s. story teller.
Im stopped by to hear some words of wisdom from Gregory Gagne🤣🤣
Greg
Hello
Great interview and there's something genuine w Greg too...tu for listing the year it took place...what is it w calling Alzheimer's...All Timers!!!! Pronounce the Z dopes..lol
Greg is a genuine liar
@@richardwang1739don’t think he really is .. in terms of pro wrestlers
Minnesota
Do u see the pattern where Greg lies and says they had the idea of Hulk Hogan vs Andre before Vince and that they were going to have wrestling on CBS before Vince did it with NBC?
Doesn’t sound like a lie to me
I believe that one. Lots of whoppers but...
Martel and Santana
The Nick Gulas of the AWA Daddy said sell
That would be George Gulas. Nick Gulas WAS Daddy...well George Gulas' anyhow.
That one is not fair. There are way too many actual Greg Gagne lies to cast this false denigration.
I remember watching AWA back then and thinking that 'Greg Gagne" was pure faker. That should have been his gimmick, instead of being a little talent son of the owner. LOL
Then you remember how he was over as the High Fliers
Verne was also just plain awful as well. Thank-you Hogan for saving Pro-Wrestlimg.
Extablished
Didn’t draw a dime
Guy died a horrible cte / dementia related death.
So many lies by Greg here. Ugh.
Steve Regal sucked ,what were you talking about Gerg
Greg Gagne>>>>Bankrupt Bischoff
Not pushing Hogan should always be known as Gagne's Folly. I understand why he didnt,. bein an old school amateur guy and Olympian, he felt Hogan didnt deserve it..esp from Bockwinkel. Hogans two largest traits are that hes egotistical and hes dumb, so Vince could have sold him a vacation spot in Antarctica, but Vern was way too honest, so I dont think he'd have ever gone national and monopolized it like Vince did, and he wasnt as cutthroat of a businessman, but he'd have made a LOT of money and gotten a LOT more attention brought to the business.
With all due respect you seem to be egotistical and dumb. One thing that you can NEVER accuse Hogan of being is dumb. A dumb guy doesn't make a ton of money selling merchandise at a time when that was rare. You just come across as one of those marks who thinks they Vince is this great genius.
This guy gives a great interview. But Feinstein is just so damn nervous he can barely register Gagnes answers. No answer ever gets developed upon because of this
"the movie did really well around the country except the distribution didn't let anyone see it. Jim Barnett was such a powerful guy but no one knew or cared about who Jim Barnett was. It's almost like I'm completely lying about all of this. Oh yeah, I am."
Greg “I told Eric Bischoff what to do to make WCW successful” Gagne.
But he ignored everything he said
@@calbaza19 Is that sarcasm?
As did Graham, Sullivan, Hogan, Jerry Jarrett
@@jrod7639 I know haha!!!! 😏
Honestly, I think the "I invented the NWO" bs was a good Idea Hogan AWA champ and Flair WCW champ.
