  • I dont think verne was ever known as a great "worker" but he was legit and put fannies in the seats in his day. For promoters thats what its all about.

  • @cbass222 A lot of the wrestlers who got into the ring with Verne would disagree with that. Verne wasn't just known in the business as being just a great worker but he was also known as a shooter, someone who could take care of himself in the ring if his opponent wanted to fight him for real. The problem is that most of the footage of Verne wrestling is from the 70s or 80s when he was passed his prime, it's his matches from the 50s that are worth watching.

  • God. Wrestling back then was TERRIBLE and SLOW. I know it sounds disrespectful, but who the hell could sit through this fake shit?

  • Back then they didn't admit it was fake. We all believed it was a legitimate sporting event or we all wanted to believe and it was good enough for us, the arenas were always full.

  • @DotDotkins And Sgt. Slaughter,Steamboat,Buddy Rose and the Iron Sheik.

  • @MrCoolbat Which one?

  • OMG this is my releative so ha ha and ha

  • I'd wish the sheik committed Danny Davis antics turn on Verne, put "scrap iron" over and get a shot at the belt. I could see it now, "Verne gagne I wanna let y kneu..,"

  • Now I see why Ric Flair is still wrestling

  • Funny how Vernes son Gregg has a much bigger package !

  • @cbass222 he was a great worker.

  • Wow a thunderous ovation for Gagne and Crapiron.

  • @TheBronzeSkull it's not "wrestling" anymore, at least in the WWE, it's "entertainment"

  • @MrManfly Yes I heard the Rock in a real interview say that once. I really think they should drop the word "wrestling". Maybe substitute the word "brawling" or something. I think that's the thing that's held it up is they aren't sure what else to call it.
