AWA rematch 1of2 Greg Gagne(c) vs Adrian Adonis wOrton 1988

[meekrob]

I remember watching this match when it first aired, and since I didn't understand how a bodyslam worked back then, I was really impressed when Adonis went up for Gagne. Adonis was a really good worker, even with all the extra weight later on.

Greg was a good tag team wrestler. But not main event material

[alexoborin1]

All FAKE

augh,,,, when orton starts massaging the luscious one.. augh.... i shot a huge load... augh.. both of them adored each other.... big hot ring homos..... aughyeah

[blazerr]

Hey, my friend bought a car from the auto dealership that Greg Gagne now manages

I met Greg Gagne several times because my brother played baseball with his son Pete Gagne. His son is awesome, full of piss and vinegar just like his dad was. Did anybody hear about Gagne's dad, Vern Gagne. At an old folks home some 97 yr old man was "mouthing off", so Vern got into an altercation with him and killed the old man by body slamming him or something. The police aren't sure whether to charge him because Vern Gagne has altzeimers. Anyways, I just think its cool, I met Greg many times

This was a pretty good match, even though Greg Gagne being pushed as a main eventer was pretty silly because he was so skinny. Seemed to be a pretty solid worker though, when you're the son of the guy who trained Ric Flair and Ricky Steamboat, you better be able to work a match! I know the AWA was in its decline by this time, but I miss wrestling like this so much compared to the garbage today. When kayfabe died, wrestling died IMO

[jmac350]

totally agree with you ! even tho the AWA was heading down hill this is still better than most of the junk floating around todays wrestling rings

[space37man]

as big as he got, he was still suprisingly agile. I used to enjoy his upside down flip when he was thrown into the turnbucle.

[mr10tomidnight]

Sorry but the last 4yrs of his life he went from a tough respected brawler in reasonable shape to that "Adorable one" I often wondered what caused him to just let himself go like that. and people always talk about Andre's decline.I think he could have made the WWE Hall of Fame he was a decent wrestler in his prime NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.

[mr10tomidnight]

My eyes almost fell out of my head and my mouth dropped to the floor seeing Adrain after his post WWF career.Well at least you didn't see his weiner sticking out of his trunks like with his Wrestlemania3 match with Roddy Piper because his gut completely over hung his front end.

[mrplayboy2u]

@mr10tomidnight wow... grow up and quit staring at the man's package maybe

[boomshakla]

Adrian looks a lot like Artie Lange

[darkhorse1280]

LMAO...he does too!

[CamboL]

Adonis is even fatter than he was at Wrestlemania 3 which was bad enough. It is a shame as I always found him entertaining and enjoyed his work. It must be hard to maintain your standards and motivation when you have had a run in something like the WWF and go back to the AWA which at this point was on a massive slide to bush league status.

[toohotscorpio]

Interesting to see Adonis, Orton and Muraco all go to the AWA after the WWF, I always wanted Piper to go there too and rekindle the feud

[darkhorse1280]

R.I.P. Adrian.

The funny thing is that how Adrian is wrestling in this match, is in stark contrast as to how he perform from the late 70's to even a year before this (1987) in which he was agile as a cat, and took the best bumps out of anyone from that era.

He really ballooned after he left the WWF. So sad. I hope ppl who watch this match and haven't seen Adonis wrestle before don't judge him for this performance; he was a very good wrestler even a yr prior to this match.

[RoderickStrong]

So true, he must have gotten diet tips from Playboy Buddy Rose

[RoderickStrong]

That's because I was being serious

[bdmpd]

@RoderickStrong this coming from a roderick strong fan lmfao

[RoderickStrong]

Actually, Roderick is not even my favorite wrestler, I chose this name because BryanDanielson, and AmericanDragon were already taken, ha
