This week from When It Was Cool Wrestling, host Karl Stern visits the pages of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter to look at the life and career of AWA owner and multi-time World Champion Verne Gagne.
Gagne was a contemporary of Lou Thesz and a major rival. He was one of the biggest stars on television during TV’s earliest days. However, his reluctance to change with the times resulted in the catastrophic downfall of one of the three largest pro wrestling companies of the era.
