Ole Anderson & Thunderbolt Patterson split up

[DoktorSick]

This is what pro wrestling is all about !! who would want to turn in week after to see what happens. Fuck that sports entertainment bullshit.

[sammys70]

Listening to Ole Anderson talk he made wrestling seem so much more believable back then when it was worth watching.Even though i knew it was still scripted it was so much better back then.I miss old school wrestling.

[oldschool6804]

@sammys70 it wasn't scripted perse alot of what ole said was real him and t bolt didn't always get along backstage!

[sammys70]

@oldschool6804 Thanks!I didn't know that,but i'm also not surprised as from i've heard Ole had alot of heat with many of the boys while in Georgia Championship Wrestling including Roddy Piper,and a few others.Ole it seems was very gruff and abrasive on the camera and off,and had a few enemies i'm sure since he was the booker for quite a while.

[chrisz31974]

God I miss these days. I wish I still thought wrestling was real, I'd enjoy it much more

[oldschool6804]

@chrisz31974 sometimes it is real you're misinformed there are many real things that happened savage and hogan didn't always get along. flair and dusty have a love hate relationship.

[chrisz31974]

@oldschool6804 Oh believe me I know, I'm well aware of all the real-life feuds. Just harder to suspend disbelief sometimes

[VincheBoi2]

I craped a brick when I found out that arn and olle wasnt brothers

[eslubin]

Gee, let's change Gordon Solie with Tony Schiavone and a space age studio set. Good look.

[TheLeroyMoon]

FER-NAN-DOE : (n) the faux martial art in which Manny Fernandez oversells his open-fisted, curled-finger chops and backhands. It was almost better than

STEAM-BO-TE: (n) the faux form of Karate in which Ricky Steamboat oversold his knife-hand chops and finger-tip thrusts.

[1EPowerUp]

ole anderson was a joke

[allstarjeff1]

@1EPowerUp I don't think you know very much about the wrestling business.Ole used to get so much heat from the fans.....it even got him stabbed.Ole was one guy....who was able to make what he was doing seem real.Those days sadly,are gone forever,and we are left with watching this BS "entertainment crap"today.Ole had a very long and successful career in pro wresting.....and was not only,a great worker in the ring and one the mic....we was a booker as well,for several promotions.

[1EPowerUp]

@allstarjeff1 no doubt wrestling is crap today id agree with you there. he was a boring wrestler, his interviews were crap, they werent good at all, and he was an AWFUL booker as well.

[oldschool6804]

@allstarjeff1 seem real? sometimes it was real whether you believe it or not! jerry stubbs even said so on a recent radio show!

[DTA550]

This is what a WRESTLING promo is.Wrestling N.W.A style not sports entertainment crap. PS.......Is it just me but watching WWE promos feel like taking the needle shits. Painful but your glad its over when its over. SWOOOOOOO...LAWD HAVE MERCY!

[JuliusC1973]

Great Storyline and Great Booking.

[piercdbruh]

Ole made that feel REAL!

[reefinit]

blood is deeper than water awesome but how

[BrightWave]

This is a classic!

[melbz1266]

i hated those damn hats arn anderson wore.

[dwya1072]

OLE WAS GREAT 2 BAD HE HAS GROWN SO BITTER OVER THE YEARS. HE WAS ONE GUY I TRULY BELIEVED COULD WHIP YOUR ASS IN A REAL FIGHT.

[usacyrano]

Hated that T-bold had to get a beatdown but this started the legend and legacy of the Minnesota Wrecking Crew. Ah, the way wrestling use to be.

[scumgod13]

Ole always wore that blue cotton shirt!

[guitarsrmine]

Wasnt David Crockett the worst announcer in wrestling? TERRIBLE!!

[danteras23]

Understated. Dramatic. Just great storytelling. You don't get anything close to it in wrestling today. It's a shame.

[bladestormviking]

i agree, it's part shoot, but that's why it went over so well. same as jake roberts/ric rude, mcmahon/austin, brett/HBK, etc.

[bacardilvr]

T-Bolt actually did a great job here showing the betrayal one would feel if your partner turned on you. Besides that, Bolt could talk, so it made the interview even more powerful when even HE couldn't put his feelings into words. If you could curse on TV, T-Bolt woulda said, man WTF are you doing Ole?

[bacardilvr]

You people commenting do not understand the subtext in this interview. This confrontation was part shoot; Ole was speaking about Black Saturday, his mother dying I think, and trying to keep Championship Wrestling from Georgia alive. Ole was under great strain at this time. T-Bolt was playing up the fact that he felt he had not been respected and treated as he should have been. T-Bolt at one time, was ELECTRIC in his interviews!

[eslubin]

good points. bolt was the best on the mic

[ljfkjgfkjgv]

One of the best promos ever. Ole always sounded scary when he was cool and calm.

[dooktango]

arn can pass for big bubba.

[dooktango]

will someone please tell what the hell is that gibberish t-bolt is flubbering?

[dinglegonzo]

The "Gayging Bull"!!!

[furycross]

the raging bull!

[RPenta]

Ole Anderson always gave cred to the business by his promos and the way he wrestled.

Could somebody please put subtitles so I can understand what the hell Thunderbolt Patterson is saying--did Dusty Rhodes steal his promo steal his accent?

[cbass222]

Wrecking Crew!

[mrhollister09]

WTF??? This was his music? wow!!!

[dinobam]

That is one typical negro.

[satchelmcqueenvideo]

very real sounding interview. scary stuff.

[Lfdjake91]

@ 3:12 "Oh, don't worry I'm not gonna touch you...not yet." sends chills down your spine.

[86lenny]

Kinda sounds like the speach that Ole gave to Sting in 1990 when the Horsemen(Ole,Arn, and Flair) kicked Sting out of the group

[smoothpants]

@86lenny - I gave you a thumbs up, because that's EXACTLY what I thought while watching this.

[Lfdjake91]

This is one of the greatest promos in wrestling history. The sense of menace & realism that Ole creates here is off the charts. You really believe that he means what he says.

[Taylorslade123]

@Lfdjake91 That's because he does believe what he says. Ole wasn't a fan of the blacks. He doesn't mind admitting it either.

[Lfdjake91]

I remember this like it was yesterday. Shortly after this Ole & Arn re-formed the Minnesota Wrecking Crew and that formed the basis for the begining of the 4 Horsemen, the greatest faction in wrestling history.

[Ironman26]

I know damn while he didn't use Michael Jackson's Beat It for his theme song? LMAO!!!

[mkl62]

A classic moment in wrestling, IMO. The wrestler who was injured by Arn was Lee Ramsey. It was on Mid-Atlantic. Arn said that the Anderson name had been dormant for too long. "Bob Caudle, you say this is television's most exciting hour? Well,...DON'T TOUCH THAT DIAL!!!" After the match, Manny came down to help with Lee and Arn jumped him. Is there any post of that anywhere?

[wolfsblood07]

Isn't there still a market for this kind of wrestling? It's been so long.

[OrigLanceR]

don't I wish...you'd think there would be. All the posts on youtube begging for this kind of stuff.

[rg8376]

i love this stuff. Nothing beats old NWA.

and nothing is tougher than coming to the ring to Michael Jackson's Beat it, lol.

Seriously though I love the wrestling, underline wrestling

[thegreatpampero]

I love Thunderbolt but he was way past it at this time and had lost a ton of weight and just didn't not look like a main event guy. In his prime he was a bad motherfucker.

[thefriendsociety]

yeah he looks like about 50 years old

[TheLizardKing1967]

Ole kicked that "Thug" to the curb!! LOL

[DTA550]

a a a a a a arrrrre yoooooooou. lol

[luvindogadis411]

Never forget when Dusty Rhodes said to Jim Cornette "We know where yo mama live!" and he called Jim Cornette "wide load". Never forget when The Road Warriors gave Sting the "Doomsday Device" and when Nikita Koloff gave David Crockett the "Russian Sickle" on tv. Never forget when The Barbarian blocked the axe handle blow from the Boogie Woogie Man and when Jim Cornette fell off the scaffold and when Ricky Steamboat ripped off a steel cage door and when Dusty was in Lex's "Human Torture Rack".

[luvindogadis411]

The beginning of the Four Horsemen. AWESOME STUFF! When wrestling was wrestling: The War Games: The Match Beyond, Jim Crockett Sr. Memorial Cup, The Great American Bash, Starrcade, Clash of the Champions. Texas Bullrope matches, taped fist matches, Russian Chain matches, Scaffold matches, Bunkhouse matches, The Garvin Stomp, The Midnight Rider (Dusty Rhodes), The James Boys (Dusty & Magnum), The Risky Business Boys (Dusty & Magnum), The Boogie Woogie Man (completely over the top) & "In Puhlic"

[rosario508]

There was nothing more thrilling in wrestling than a HEEL turn!!!!

[wolfsblood07]

This was about a million times more exciting than today's WWE.

[54spiritedwill54]

"Are youuuuuuuuu gonna be a liar "?

[looknkali4nia]

Great stuff the interview with Bolt and Anderson.

[JWade29]

For those of you who don't know it,this was the begining of the four horsemen.

[johnlewisbrooks]

Ahhh...back when even microphones had afro's.lol

[Lovelygal71]

@johnlewisbrooks now they're bald, right? lol

[johnlewisbrooks]

@Lovelygal71 Pretty close!LOL

[lrbfan82]

First of all, the only human on this planet who could ever fill Gordon Solie's shoes is Tony Schiavone! Tony...COME BACK! Second of all, are..are..are..you-u-u-u-u-u- gonna be a liar? If you look real close, you can almost see Tony and Ole start to crack up when Thunderbolt Patterson said that!

[BOX5]

ole liked this angle with his racist ass.

[thefriendsociety]

wait a minute how is this angle racist?

[Upstatebound]

As any one can see from this video, in a fair, man to man fight, Arn beat both Manny and T Bolt. Notice Manny had four men in the ring with him at the end. Is that fair? Thanks to Ole, the fight was fair. Arn won...twice!

[GDCTT]

@Upstatebound what i saw was both arn and ole attack t-bolt from behind. and i saw ole and arn attack manny from behind. is that fair?

[Upstatebound]

I was so glad Ole woke up. T Bolt was holding him back. Ole always played by the rules. Bolt and his sneakey friends should have learned from the Crew. They were far too good for any of them. Bolt needed a beating and he found the men to give it to him. The Minnesota Wrecking Crew.

[dreid44]

Rocky Johnson is Rock's father. Back in the very early 80s, Rocky wrestled in the NWA wearing a mask. His name then was Sweet Ebony Diamond. He had a great fued with Greg Valentine

[Clean49]

Not the Rock's dad..it was Pistol Pez whatley

[ShinoShaw]

was that the Rock's daddy's who jumped in at the end?

[fjccommish]

This was a great promo in that it was two guys talking to eachother rather than shouting at the camera or the audience.

[um6xr]

i rember that i was about 13

[imdagr8st]

if i recall this was the first week of gordon solie not being in georgia anymore

[dp100eboggan]

I remember this!!! I was 14!

[gentjack02]

Those were the days -- and the Horsemen ride!

[Sargebri]

This was definitely the beginning of the Horsemen.  Of course, it was just a few months later that the Andersons and Flair jumped Dusty in the Omni in one of the greatest angles in professional wrestling history and after that they began teaming with Tully Blanchard and the rest, as they say, is history.

[JuliusC1973]

Ah, the beginnings of the 4 Horsemen!

[aloae]

The Minnesota Wrecking Crew rules! Check out The Enforcer on German TV at youtube com/watch?v=_AfbC7sstwU . Rare footage WCW 90's.

[ddvdave]

Hey Arn... nice hat!

[Koolazzmike]

Manny Fernandez was using "Beat It" for his theme song?! I remember when him and Rick Rude used "We Will Rock You" by Queen.

[mkl62]

Manny also used "Only the Lucky Ones," by Loverboy as his entrance music for a while.

[DTBfrom251]

Thunderbolt sounds so damn country......Ole did da right thing! 4 Horsemen 4 Life!

[MAYDAYES]

I agree! He went into the ministry.

[Freebird79]

no i didnt understand what t-bolt was saying

[Julius121081]

To the user of this video: Can you post the whole match if you have it?

[jasonptp]

"Are youuuuuuuuu gonna be a liar  "?

[Freebird79]

yeah t-bolt stuck around but not for much longer

[scareykatt]

i remembered watching this on saturday morning in Dallas.

i believed this was my first time to watch Championship Wrestling from Georgia.

[JuliusC1973]

The early beginnings of the 4 Horsemen! Great Vidoe, thanks for posting this footage.

[HemiVic]

Thunderbolt Patterson's career was pretty much over after his split from Ole Anderson. His last appearance on WTBS was in June 1985. This also was one of Ole Anderson's best interviews. Finally, does anyone understand what Thunderbolt Patterson was saying?

[roknrol4ever1]

Was there ever a worse announcer than David Crockett?

[Julius121081]

Vince McMahon was bad too.

[aginghipster]

Did T-Bolt stick around a little bit and team with Manny Fernandez before leaving JCP?

[bull705]

Just long enough to get the MN Wrecking Crew over as heels.

[30framessec]

omg that was good
