Old School AWA Veteran Greg Gagne celebrates his 73rd birthday today.
He’s the son of the late, great Wrestler & AWA Promoter Verne Gagne and most Old School fans will remember him as one half of the Tag Team ‘The High Flyers’ with his team partner Jim Brunzell.
Greg Gagne wrestled for his fathers promotion, the American Wrestling Association, from 1972 until the promotion closed in the spring of 1991.
After retiring from active professional wrestling, he became a road agent for Ted Turner’s World Championship Wrestling.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GREG GAGNE!
