And don't forget, "The Claw."
I'd see him in the checkout at a grocery store in Prior Lake occasionally.

When I was a kid (1950’s) Verne was one of the designated “good guy” wrestlers.

He has combative dementia. Basically, they will medicate him to a vegetative state now.

Nearly 30 years ago I was at the Sheraton West Palm Beach, at the airport to change the combination on the safe.
As I came around a corner the Iron Sheik and Sargent Slaughter were laughing and talking while going in to the bar.
The next night they were the headliners at the old West palm civic ctr. doing battle against each other, their hated rivals.

So in reading more about this story...the guy that died was kicked out of the home not to long ago for violent outbursts...and had attacked and brawled with verne not to long ago.
It’s sound to me like the both men were extremely ill and this was a outcome of having them together.

The ref was distracted and did not see what happened, so there is no violation!

What is it with Minnesota and wrestling?
Hulk Hogan, Ventura, Flair was born there, Curt Henning, Rick Rude.

I'd stay up so late to watch wrestling with Verne Gagne. I also loved the Crusher and then the masked man appeared.

I may be a bad person, but I read this and started hearing Ric Flair saying “In order to be the man...you’ve got to beat the man!”
