[edit] Birthdate and first match

I was obvious vandalism by 152.163.100.198, however, I noticed that the previous user, 70.224.166.40, had changed some details of Gagne:His birthday and first match location (see [1]). Does anyone know the real story here? --Hansnesse 04:05, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

According to the book, Top 100 Pro Wrestlers of All-Time, which was edited by Dave Meltzer, Gagne's first match was in Texas. There is some dispute as to when Gagne was born, I've seen as many sources list his birthday being 1926 as I have 1923.

In the new AWA DVD, Verne stated he was born in 1926.--DrRisk13 02:21, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Date of birth?

A discrepancy exists between Verne Gagne's date of birth. Yahoo Search shows May 10, 1923 and Wikipedia shows February 26, 1926. Somebody ought to make a clarification. Musicwriter 02:05, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
