Minnesota Wrecking Crew: Week 5

[T74G]

got the belts nice and shined up....

[shootbinary]

YES!!!! I've been looking for this promo or any one of them where he delivers that CLASSIC line..."I don't want to toot my own horn, but TOOT TOOT!"

[palmettoparrots]

Pre-Horsemen too.

[palmettoparrots]

Toot Toot!!!

[teddsmith]

arn andersons real name is martin lunde. They brought him in cause he looked like Ole a little bit and they needed some one to replace Gene Anderson

[michaeldavis678]

man i miss promos like this

[malfoy2]

I love how Ole emphasizes 'wrestling'

[bigc1966]

It makes me sick to see the WWE symbol on these promo's. NWA back then was the best. I looked forward to watch this every weekend. WWE ruined wrestling today IMO.

[T74G]

@bigc1966

yeah really!! turned it into a whole bunch of glammed up/ glitzed out BS with horrible storylines, nothing believable, no one putting over anyone, and a whole lot of horrible shoot and attempted kayfabe....

NWA WAS THE BEST EVER!! 1977-1990.....the era....

[curtisjones400]

the andersons were  good actors-they were reading a script

[miggy25]

i thought Arn and Ole Anderson were cousins

[malfoy2]

Not in real life. Gene Anderson was the only one actually named Anderson. Ole's real name is Alan Robert Rogowski took the name Anderson. Arn (Martin Lunde) looked like Ole so he took the Anderson name and came as a cousin.

[mkl62]

@malfoy2 Arn was also potrayed as Ole's nephew. There was also Lars (Larry Heimeni). And Ric Flair was portrayed as their cousin.

[JonathanVonErich]

@malfoy2 Well i think Arn had the Anderson name before being in a team with Ole...

[malfoy2]

@JonathanVonErich no he didnt

[Houseofthe7gayboys]

@malfoy2 Luv it...Rogowski has a more pollock look whereas gene is just straight up good ol southern Redneck, beatty eyes and all, kinda chubby but strong as an ox, always angry with a chip on his shoulda and best of all don't mind a good lynching every now and then, be it black then or now spics or a good viet lurking in the jungle somewhere.

[shootbinary]

@Houseofthe7gayboys Reporting you for violating the TOS.

[Houseofthe7gayboys]

@shootbinary what's your objection boi?

[philblunt420]

nice porn mustache schiavone

[DerrickB6924]

Those belt was bling-bling.

[CadillacL]

if u go to wikipedia it tells arn is his son-in-law

[critikull]

Damn those belts were shining!

[screamingdean5]

@critikull I'll say!

[CoryByrd2006]

2 bad ass motherfuckers

[widwag]

was it true that ole and arn weren't related ?

[timg138]

Correct. I always thought Georgia and Minnesota accents gave it away.

[T74G]

@timg138

LOL...classic!!!

[shootbinary]

@timg138 No; the Andersons are NOT related.. Arn is from Rome, Georgia not Minnesota...Arn even admitted in his book, which was pretty remarkable since Anderson is/was notorious for his fanatical dedication to kayfabe. Even in his shoot interviews (RF Video), The 4 Horsemen DVD and hisbook he evades or embellishes lots of stories. He's just an old school guy who on "protecting the business" but we all know his attacks on Dusty Rhodes (in the cage & parking lot) were staged & Ole isn't family...

[CadillacL]

Arn is actuall Ole's son-in-law (least guessing he still is)

[JohnACorp782]

No. They aren't related in any actual way. They just resemble each other.

[JuliusC1973]

@widwag I thought Arn married Ole's sister, so Ole was his Brother-In-Law. I thought I read that several years ago.

[Upstatebound]

This video just goes to show, Double A ought to toot his own horn! These guys made fools of the likes of Magnum TA, that goofball Manny, and how about that dope T Bolt? The Minnesota Wrecking Crew has not been equaled in twenty year. This team would destroy any Road Warrior or Ultimate Warrior combo, Hulk Hogan would have begged like a baby bird wantin' a worm. Ole was easily the smartest, toughest, and best skilled grappler of this or any decade! And you can make book on that!

[moonlitphantasm]

Easily one of, if not THE best tag team of all time!

[BerlinFan82]

Tony was sporting a nice feathered do and cheesey stach.

[blaknyte08]

man,the belts actually meant something back then.they were actually prestigious and important.i remember ric flair on a promo held the nwa belt and said"you gotta have one of these to be cool". classic shit.

[reh629]

are you kidding me?!! the nwa had like 83 titles. i think at one point in time, everyone on the jcp/nwa roster had a belt. however that doesnt take away from the greatness of the MWC.
