Grew up watching "all star wrestling " Once WWF now WWE took over it went to hell.... those were the good old days sigh.
 
Heard when he was in a nursing home he killed a guy with a wrestling move but was not charged because he had deminta.

Yup, sorta true. Had an altercation with another resident (really old and really small guy) in the nursing home. Both had dementia. Guy died a few weeks after Gagne tossed him to the ground. Broken hip or something like that. Verne was probably more in shape than anyone his age. Guy was still wrestling and doing flying drop kicks into his 60's if I have my timeline right.
 
Legend indeed. Lots of good "all star " wrestling history out there and he sure was an integral part of that history. RIP Verne.
