[1975-03-15-AWA-Chicago, IL] Verne Gagne vs Nick Bockwinkel

[paul sosnowski]

Ok this is weird. We get a few minutes of slow motion clips of a recent match from Chicago, narrated by NIck and Bobby Heenan. We see Bockwinkel dropping Gagne throat first over the top rope, next it cuts to Bockwinkel giving Gagne a piledriver for a two count. We see Gagne hit a backslide and he appears to get the pin, but Bockwinkel's foot was in the ropes. Heenan immediately jumps in the ring to protest, he kicks Young Greg Gagne at ringside. Verne attacks him and throws him into the post. Young Greg has a full head of hair!!! He gets in the ring, brawling with Nick and Heenan, father and son fight together. Heenan takes some huge bumps. Greg tosses Heenan out, Verne throws Bock over the top rope. "There is question about the outcome of the match".

 

Nothing special about this footage....not really worth seeing....oh well.

**** Ok...the footage says 2/22, but Bockwinkel fought Art Thomas in Chicago on that day.   I am almost 100% certain that this is from 3/13/75****
