RIP Ole Anderson. He was 81.
RIP one of my all time fav wrestling cranks
In the early 2000's, Ole used to come in pretty much daily to eat lunch at Ryan's Steakhouse in Seneca, SC. He stood out wearing those old coaches short shorts with a t shirt and it would be 20 degrees outside. A friend of mine and me spoke to him one day and from that day on if we came in to eat and he was there, he would wave us over to his table, or either come to our table on his way out and speak with us. He was always FIRST CLASS to us and others that recognized him.
That’s cool! Did you talk much wrestling with ole?
RIP Ole Anderson
This artwork is golden!
I think I once met Ole in a Wal-Mart. I was about 10 or 11, and I didn’t have much knowledge of Wrestling before 2002 because that’s when I was born. I knew who the 4 horsemen were though. Ole was in front of us in the checkout line, and I guess I must’ve thought he was ARN Anderson because I told him “Has anyone ever told you, you look like Arn Anderson?” He replies with a chuckle and said “ I could beat Arn Anderson’s Ass” and went about his day.
Definitely sounds like it was Ole
Epic
Who told you he was Ole Anderson?
@@RayRay-yg1cg what’s funny is, I watched a YT video a few years back, and it showed a picture of Ole, and I immediately was like “THATS THE DUDE FROM WALMART”
That’s pretty cool. I once sat across Bad News Allen/Brown in a restaurant and I kept staring at him but he would look at me or break character. I was so terrified because he looked scary and tough.
I got Ole's autograph when I was 15, in '86, at a Howard Johnson's after watching him and Arn wrestle the RnR Express earlier in the night. I remember being a little scared to ask him(he was eating alone)but he was perfectly nice.
He's Polish. We all look pretty scary despite our good natures.
That's cool
nice~
That was a great time in wrestling. A great time and a great year in the best decade.
Kind of sounds like my grandad. He treated most adults like shit, but was the nicest guy on the planet to kids.
I was there with pop, I remember that day. I was about 11 at the time. I remember because, going to Dairy Queen was a big deal! He used to take us out to Little Ceasars or the dollar movies once every couple months. He was always on the road. But going to Dairy Queen was unreal! He never approved of eating sweets. We all love our dad but he was the same person in life as he was on tv. Still though, a really great dad!!!!
It's amazing that you saw this video and remembered that moment from years ago. Ole has passed away now, and you lost a loving father and we all lost a legend. But we are so glad he did the things he did when he was with us, even if he was his uniquely grumpy self. Its what made him who he was and we needed someone like him. Best wishes to you and your family.
Making Ole Andersson smile... on purpose.
This is why Jim Cornette is a legend.
I tried to get Oly Anderson's autograph back in 1979 at the old Auditorium in Atlanta, when he was part of the Minnesota Wrecking Crew, and I'm going to quote what he said to me you're not supposed to ask us for autographs where the bad guys,☺ Oly I was always a big fan of you always will be,... now I'm older in my life and I feel like I'm the grumpy old man now
I got Orton’s autograph in 06’ when he was a heel. The most chill, laid back dude in the world. Swear to god.
@@585MBA yeah I met Orton at the airport he's a pretty nice guy
I like how Dusty Rhodes used to pronounce his name, Ole Andusan.
Anduthan*
@@Metallimark87 LOL. That's it.
Not as bad as Tony Atlas .... Oh-luh AH- nuh -suh
O-le Anduthan....Ahn Anduthan
hahaha
"IT WILL NEVA BE OVA"
I remember one time Ole showed up at the North Washington Ave.; downtown Mcdonald's directly across the street from (back then known as) Saginaw Civic Center's Wendler Arena. He stopped by about hour and a half prior to GCW house show. I believe that it was '85 and everyone was just surrounding the whole building. And he's just sitting there eating his dinner, undistracted and quiet. I'm sure that he was already booking and road agent working. He was a down to earth type of guy but you still didn't want to disturb him while enjoying his quarter pounder combo.✋😃🍟
I totally agree with Corny. I don't think Ole lost it in 1990 as much as we didn't care any more. He was essentially Herd's stooge.
Ole Anderson is my spirit animal.
Hope u ain't died like him
Whoever does these thumbnails is without a doubt a genius. As soon as I see it I could guess what the subject is going to be. A lot of times I'd be wrong cause these are classic.
yes! artwork is always impeccable
Having seen OLE ANDERSON since the mid seventies, I can't remember if I ever saw him smile or laugh once. He stuck to character more than anybody else.
Yes he did. He was kayfabe all the way on tv. But, did you ever see him out in public? I'm willing to bet he's just a regular guy outside the business.
@@maddogmarc in shoot interviews he occasionally laughs
No he's a legit mean guy ole is an asshole
@@drexlspivey5828 Yep. I've seen a few. I don't think I ever saw him laugh on any of the shows. Unless he was watching footage of himself breaking Dusty's arm or leg.
@@michaelallanrubin2376 So you know him personally? If not, you're just proving he was great at his job by thinking he was an asshole. That doesn't mean he's like that 24/7 though.
Owned a saw mill in Bruce Wisconsin and Saint Louis Missouri. He was always smart with money. I know cause he’s someone very important to me and know he’s not doing well so I’m going to tell anybody who’d like to know, what he was like growing up. Don’t bash him please
Ole is actually one of the funniest story tellers.
I saw Arn Anderson arrive at a house show at what was ended up being my high school in 1985 as a kid and he smiled the same as the kid described in this podcast. It was a cool experience as well.
Rip ole Anderson
I love Ole Anderson, so freakin underrated.
I still have a polaroid of him in a suit walking around the Columbus ( Ohio) fairgrounds were us fans walked around and at age 6 i recognized him. Yelled out to him, he was the nicest most honored wrestler i still have ever met. Nothing like the stories we hear about being a grump
Ole is the Ginger Baker of the wrestling business.
He's the drummer?
This is ON POINT! Baker was the Heart of every band he was in !
baker was mean and cantankerous and became more so after retiring...everyone in music knows about bakers temper...and talent...great analogy
Perfect Analogy!
@@coreysmorgan8488 he say undertaker wouldn’t draw money
Here after the news Ole passed 🙏🏻
Correct Mr. Jim! You know my pop better than anyone! Thank you for not bashing him. That is exactly what he was like and know cause he’s my dad. I’m the third oldest son, the bad , always getting in trouble son.
Condolences to you and your family 💔
I remember a story in road warrior animals book, where ole chewed the warriors out because hawk spit at a fan when he asked for a autograph..... ole may have been an old crab, but he loved his fans namely kids
Many great memories of Ole on tv Saturday mornings as a kid. I understand his health isn’t great . Can someone get ONE MORE interview with ole at his home?? Time is passing by so fast unfortunately
An extremely stressful and repeatedly unrewarding job will sour your mood and eventually, your work ethic. Happens to the best of us :/
Well said.
I envy no Booker of the 80s and 90s. Its a mark’s dream job but actually having to manage & deal with 100 200+ lbs,roided up,tired from traveling,barely paid talents and their egos,drama seems like a thankless and tiresome job.
@@TheeCoachg Basically, not to mention dealing with TV producers, merchandising, payroll and executives.
For those who love the art work..thank Travis Heckel.
Yeah it says so at the top of the description.
Jim and brian, keep up the great work!!!👍
I always wanted his shirt, "Damn I'm Good."
I wanted that "Evil Mean & Nasty" shirt.
RIP
I Always Liked Ole Because Of His I Don't Give A Shit Attitude.
I love Ole.. I dont care how he acted nor who he pissed off - he was a great talent, and an awesome booker for many years - his only fault - he didn't adapt to the times....4 Horsemen 4 Life
Great perspective!!
Adapt or refuse the shit?
Nice to hear a 'good' story about Ole! He always seemed like he may have been a gruff guy whether it be in or out of the ring. But, nice to hear that he made that 8 yr old kids day!
Any chance they'll ever invite Ole on the Jim Cornette Experience?
hes a racist prick what do you think
All you’re gonna hear Ole say is “Fuck McMahon, Flair, Bischoff and you!” And all you’ll hear is Corney laugh too much to talk.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Phoneybeetlemaniacxs dude like 7/10 of those old timers are racist. It is what it is.
Cult Of Malgus if you didn’t grow up in the 60’s what the hell do you know about racism? You little fuckn kids live in a dream world and pretend to have deal with racism. 🖕stfu
I'm like the Oley Anderson of my job! 😂
No you're not, you're more like Vince Russo, by which I mean you can't spell.
@@crashharty Thank you youtube spelling police. Your so smart. Yes I know I used your incorrectly. I know you're would be right. Does that trigger you?
@@jasoneffler9903 actually dumbass you spelled ole wrong but you're so damn smart, I guess you already knew that.🙃
I’ve always admired Ole has a wrestler and talker I remember in 1983 my wife and I were at the civic center in Marietta Ga.and my wife was always wanting autographs from wrestlers and she went up to Ronnie Garvin who was a face and ask him for his autograph and when she got back with it she said he was a jerk. She went back to get Ole’s and when she got back she said now he was nice I said can I have your autograph and Ole said you sure can.
The lumbermill was actually in Wisconsin. Small town called Bruce. When an outlaw promotion ran there in 2000 he actually was there visiting. but stayed in back row so as not to take away from the wrestlers. But shook several of the boys hands after the show.
I'd love to hear more about these human interest types of stories concerning the true 💓 of wrestling.
The lengths these men and women would go to to entertaine and show appreciation to the fans who loved them has always impressed me.
There's just something about Ole Anderson that radiated legitimate bad ass.
A FRIEND of mine met MR ANDERSON. ONCE on a plane ( When he was STILL WRESTLING ) and my friend said HE WAS A GREAT GUY !!!!!!!
The heels I met in person were almost always nicer than the baby faces.
People sometimes forget that wrestling is a job Ole,is a man that has his own personality!😀
Ole and Gene Anderson were one of the greatest tag teams of all time.
Ole was the only heel that still intimidated me after I started helping the ring crew. Even though the ring crew always told me they could say that I was his kid.
"Waiting to get fired for 6 fuckin' years" LOL
That thumbnail though 😂😂
😶😶😶😶😶😶🤣🤣
Controversial? Yes ..! Legend ? Totally! Ole Anderson made you believe in everything he did in the ring ! Great psychology, slowly breaking down an opponent...! Smart Booker as well ..!
Facts
He made you believe everything he did in front of the camera. Even as a booker/ commentary with Gordon Solie in Georgia as a babyface pre the turn on Dusty.
Love the art work. Ole should have been on "The Simpsons" in the 90's.Endless possibilities
Or south park
@@jaquesteddyruxpin932 Yup.lol
I met Ole Anderson at a Ace Hardware in Raleigh, NC, he was buying nails.
Then he ate them.
Didnt need use a hammer either.
Or Milk.
Okay. I really wish someone brought up something about Jim Cornette's Pink suit. Id love to know how he got it and where it came from.
Wow what a great wrestler Ole was one of the best minds for the wrestling business ever.
Ole was one of the great minds in the business
Damn that check story is great
Rest in peace, Ole!
Ole was an incredible heel. They don't make guys like Ole, Harley Race, Dick Murdoch or Wahoo McDaniels anymore, and were poorer for it.
No cause the wwf brand always sucked. It was the mecca of nobodies. Atlanta was the Jerusalem of pro wrestling. Charlotte was Roma. Ive iterated this in another comment, but it apparently got blocked or is under review by sjws because it contained some disparaging references to abnormal, perverse people.
Ole could always get that small television studio crowd riled up. The noise they made you would think there was a thousand people there.
He lives here in town, or did, I guess he still does? Everybody used to tell me they saw him. I always wondered why he lived here. People that tried to talk to him about wrestling all had the same story: he's a grumpy ole jerk...lol! One Sunday after church, about 10 years ago, I was eating at the Chinese restaurant, and my friend leans over, and says, "Hey, that's Ole Anderson behind you." I turned around and looked...I didn't even recognize him, he was so old. Of course, I didn't say anything to him. That's the only time I saw him here, other than a show they had at the high school back in '87. If I had known it was him; I would of given him an elbow in the buffet line!
RIP Ole.
I love in his book he called the wwf "wwwwwwwwwf", funniest thing ever!
I've seen him wrestle many times growing up in GA in the early 80s
Just came here from Ole's RF shoot. lmao! He is a cranky SOB but it was an awesome interview. Go watch it.
This artwork is amazing!!!
That thumbnail makes Jim look a little scared about Ole asking him if he wants some ice cream
"Its a sorry state of affairs. When a c u n t and a fat manager, make more money than me" - Ole Amderson
Ole was just happy someone thanked him. We need a book of Ole's wisdom illustrated by Mr Hickel.
What Ole actually called him in that quote was a "faggot manager" but Jim cleaned it up here.
and in 2021 came a skinny rapper to this list
I still remember my meeting with the big boss man at walmart great guy
Born and raised in Woodstock Ga❤
Ole was one of those old-timers that basically didn't give a $h!t about anything or anyone, one of the best heels to ever lace up a pair of boots and always gave it his best no matter who he was against whether it was tag or singles, as Jim has mentioned many times, Ole was one of the best promo guys of the 80's, and I saw the famous footage of July 1980 when Ole turned on Dusty in the cage against The Assassins, that crowd there went INSANE and pretty much caused a riot, probably the famous riot that lives on in people's minds in professional wrestling lore. Also, people have said that Ole wasn't the sweetest guy in the world, but the way Ole was described from the gentleman that met him I guess was one of those rare instances. Ole had the intimidation factor that he had just by the look in his eyes. One more thing, Ole had every right to be pissed when Vince bought out his territory, and Vince and Linda both asked him if he wanted a job, Ole told them "go f*ck yourself".
R.I.P the original rock, ole Anderson 😢😭
Do you think the matrix got that saying from watching an old olie promo?
You want a piece of me? You want a piece of Mr. Andersooooon? We’ll come get one ☝️
The thumbnail is fckin great!!😁😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ole was believable. I thought he broke jobbers arms every week. He scared me to death when I was a kid. 😂
That's was arn not ole who shook your hand as a kid lol
Ole could be an a hole but then turn around and be really funny. He was a little more complicated than most of the wrestlers.
He was born angry and passed of cause of his father. Bar owner and completely an old school child rearing dad, he showed me when I was 8 , just how much he hated his life as a professional wrestler. He grew up with no family that cared and he did the same. Ole cared for his family and did so by showing it. Believe me, I know . ❤
Love the Andersons
lmao at the drawing of Ole and that shirt hhahahahahaaaa
😈🌇
People can say what they want Ole Anderson had a great mind for wrestling business
Saw ole and gene team and wrestling over I guess 100 times and especially at the Asheville civic center in Asheville North Carolina
I live in Georgia and I have been to that very DQ many times in Woodstock.
Ole's grumpy old man routine is great...living the gimmick
Ole Anderson once gave my grandfather a blumpkin
Ole was great in the original 4 Horsemen.
Ole was the best heel ever
I just saw a interview where Anderson was saying Dusy couldn't book and he was just blowing smoke up everyones ass. He was being interviewed by Bobby
Ole booked to get heels heat, Dusty for as great as he was was going to push himself first.
RIP Ole Anderson.
long as you respect him, he should be nice and sign your autograph
ole was the voice of the black scorpion!
omar😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈
The Shockmaster
About ten years ago I went to a wrestling show that was featuring some legends at a meet and greet. I walked down the line getting my autographs and came to Ole.
I said hello, and he asked if we knew each other. I said no. He then offered me a seat and we sat and talked for a good 30 min. The thing with Ole that ppl misconstrue as mean is Ole is honest. If you aren't sure you wanna hear his answer then dont ask the question.
Damn ole you alright buddy
Oles shoots are awesome. He has a different view about some things Corny has mentioned.
Never thought about that. If a heel and face riding together exposes the business. Doesn't a heel acting nice Or a face being a asshole. Do so as well. On a admittedly smaller scale.
Since kayfabe died it doesn't really matter anymore. Everyone knows it's a work now. But, back in the 80s it would've been bad for the business. However, there was no internet so the it's not like a little kid in Woodstock, GA was going to create huge waves or destroy Ole's career. All he could do was tell his friends at school. The info probably wouldn't go much further than that.
Not really. I met a heal when I was 8 (he was the top of the card at the time)years old he was very nice never broke kayfabe, went out of his way to entertain me for almost an hour. That was what made me a fan not just the kid that went to the show with grandma.
A heel being “nice” to kid can actually help more than harm. Kayfabe was built on leaving an emotional impression on the naive. Those guys were always working,making a kid believe enough to buy was their only job.
Big Ole
The original , original "Rock" (Ragowski), even before Don "the rock" Morocco.
Ole is the Andy Reid of professional wrestling. 🤣
Would explain the Black Scorpio and Shockmaster,etc.
I think those were both dustys ideas
@@josereyes1148 Dusty was in WWF for the Black Scorpion.My point is..Ole participated in those disasters.
I remember how sad I was when I found out Ole is not related to Arn 😟
Yeah go Woodstock!!
Mr. Cornette let sum one thing up first by saying I was so pumped to see you on the power hour now I been keeping up trying to but I see that you're not on the show now I know that just wasn't a one time or a couple time appearance on the showwhen will you and are you going to make a return to the NWA power hour ,one of your loyal fans always
The screwd him because of a stupid joke that had been used before but now everyone is so sensitive. NWA had me excited but not now.
Rip Ole
