Lots of people worship at church on Sunday morning. In the early 1980s, I spent many Sunday mornings watching "AWA All-Star Wrestling," starring the likes of Nick Bockwinkel and Buck "Rock n' Roll" Zumhoff, shown here in this YouTube video.

Minnesota's Vern Gagne was a pioneer in the sport. Check out this 1979 clip from Japanese television. It's extra cool.

We've got a story about Verne Gagne from our "MN90: Minnesota History in 90 Seconds" unit.

Would you like to know more? If so, the Minnesota Historical Society has more here.

Enjoy. But don't hit your head on the turnbuckle. A guy can get hurt that way.
