His name is really Verne Gagne, born LaVerne Gagne. I remember him, but never did follow that wrestling circus. I guess there are a lot of people that like the rehearsed acrobatics.

I worked for a short time at a Minneapolis TV station that had wrestling every Saturday night. I remember seeing the wrestlers backstage between matches joking it up like best buddies.
Almost got body-slammed by a little grandmotherly type one night when I was walking past the audience during a commercial break and just shook my head and chuckled at the wrestler's antics.Bob

Not only do I remember Verne Gagne, but I'm related to a bunch of Gagnes. I always wondered if I was related to him.
It was fun to watch wrestling before it became such a rehearsed spectacle.
