The Month of May was a very special month in the career of Verne Gagne. George Schire and Glen Braget discuss some of those significant highlights including Verne’s “Retirement Match” May 10, 1981 against Nick Bockwinkel as well as his very first professional match. We’ll clear up the confusion about when Verne’s first match happened and touch on his top opponents and feuds in the 60’s, 70’s and early 80’s.
