Say what you want about Verne Gagne, but the former AWA owner had a pretty good eye for talent. During the 1970s, he had a very special recruiting class of rookie wrestlers. He once had the Iron Sheik and Ric Flair together as trainees. The former went on to become WWE champion by defeating the legendary Bruno Sammartino, while the latter would become a legend in the NWA and WCW.
