291. Greg Gagne

The son of legendary wrestler, Verne Gagne, Greg Gagne has an intriguing WWE Hall of Fame Case.

Gagne had a very unimposing physique and his lack of size hindered his marketability, but he was legit tough and an underappreciated worker.  As many sons of promoters did at the time, Gagne stayed in Minnesota, but was an upper card wrestlers for years and was a glue guy in the organization who could work with anybody.
