Greg seems like a nice guy, but his great big idea for WCW… that AWA vs NWA angle… woulda absolutely been the shits. By the time Hogan got to WCW, AWA and NWA were completely passé, and were dead brands. I was a huge wrestling fan when I was a kid. Couldn’t get enough of it. I remember when AWA was syndicated on ESPN. As a kid who watched WCW & WWF, AWA was soooo boring. I really wanted to like it, but I just never could get into it. Maybe I woulda liked it better if I was older. But to a 7-10 yr old kid, it was very antiquated. Almost like having a kid these days try to watch an old black & white movie or tv show. There’s just too much of an age gap production-wise, for a kid to get emotionally invested in it. And then his other “ace in the hole” idea about that Russia vs USA angle, was so played out by the time he pitched that idea. I have a certain level of respect for Greg, just for his lineage and pedigree. But he never struck me as having any game changing ideas, behind the scenes.

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. ❤

Ladies & Gentlemen, Greg “I came up with every major angle in wrestling, AWA would still be around only if this one thing didn’t happen, I thought of bringing Hogan in to WCW but everyone else that says otherwise is lying, Bischoff stole my contract and all my ideas, everyone compliments me as the best worker they ever worked with and best babyface ever, in 93 I said Nash, Austin, and Triple H were the next big stars in the business (even though Triple H hadn’t even been to WCW yet)” Gagne.

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.
@CatsClaw44

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.

1:03:34 Greg I’d likable but here’s the thing, he’s still thinking of AWA in the 70’s. When Vince wanted to buy it, it was not the AWA of old. In fact the only thing old about it was the wrestlers. I love Bockwinkel but he was their top guy and over 50. The towns don’t matter if no one is going to them. These guys should’ve sold. I think Greg wanted to buy his dad was stubborn and thought he wouldn’t be run out of town by Vince. He could’ve set himself up as an Exec and gotten Greg in but that stubbornness cost him tons of money and his sons future.

1:07:16 again another story that makes no sense. If they can’t do the deal, then why would they still have your commercial spots? You just gave them to them without signing and when it didn’t go through you just said nah keep them? This sounds to me like it was a boneheaded business decision. Every story he has they were about to do something huge but something always happened to nix the thing in the end. I think he’s told these stories so much to people and himself that he believes it now. Isn’t it funny how there’s like 10-15 different things he mentions that would’ve happened but something else just happened at the last minute and it led to them going under. I just don’t buy it. They would have to have the worst luck in the history of the world.
