@TheBronzeSkull Gagne's majority ownership of AWA certainly allowed him to keep the belt for too long but it wasn't just ego. McMahon wasn't the first person to be afraid that one of his stars might win the belt and then leave for another organization. If you're the owner and the champion, you know you can trust yourself not to jump ship with the belt. Besides, Gagne was a superb wrestler, wonderful to watch, not some boring punching and kicking contest.

It's boring to some "wrestling" fans because any semblance of actual wrestling is boring to them but this was a great match between two fantastic technical wrestlers who were still amazing for their ages. I did laugh at the idea that pro wrestling was a respected sport back then. It wasn't. I laughed at Baba's chicken arms and legs. He was no Andre. Gagne was probably as strong as him.

Old good times.
Verne Gagne was NOT so small for the times.
Perhaps he was not a "flashy guy" , but he's still one of the most respected pro wrestlers of all times.
Great tecnical wrestler.
Also Baba is great.
Pro wrestling deserved a great respect.
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...
Wrestling was a respected sport...

Verne Gagne is a jedi? Only a jedi should walk down to the ring with a star wars disco theme! Otherwise it would just be dumb...
