What if #1: Hogan stays in the AWA

**DLVH84** · 08-09-2010, 12:52 AM

I watched the AWA, when I started watching wrestling in 1988. They had some tremendous tag teams at the time (Midnight Rockers, Badd Company, Destruction Crew).

However, Verne Gagne refused to change with the times. His son Greg knew times were changing and wanted to make those changes, but his father just held him back and said no.

Another thing about Verne Gagne is he always wanted to push his family. First he tried to push Greg, with no luck (although Greg knew he couldn't be as great as his father was, and was content with his own success), so the next best thing was his son-in-law Larry Zbyszko, who ended up being champion.
