ole was the booker in gcw & when it folded he lost his power & only had a job with the crockett's if he still wanted to earn a paycheck the horsemen was formed & he only stayed a little while longer then left for good because he wanted to spend time with his family & didn't want to wrestle that much anymore the reason why he fucked thunder bolt was because he had to turn heel before jumping to the crockett's & thunder blot was already out of the picture only he didn't know it yet
Ole is brilliant here and he was always good on the mic. Quite frankly i believe he was embarrased with T-Bolts commentary. "trinkets before" what the hell was that? That was one of the reasons they broke them up because of T-bolt constantly embarrassing Oles superstar status.
Others gave flashier interviews, but no wrester ever gave a more realistic interview than Ole Anderson.
I wish video existed of the promos he used to cut on Wahoo McDaniel and Paul Jones. Those were just classic. But at least we have the great "It'll Never Be Over" promo on Dusty Rhodes.
This was one of the greatest heel turn/ angle/ promos ever (no thanks to T-Bolt). Ole was absolutely fantastic & chilling here. This was actually the first step towards the formation of the 4 Horsemen, the greatest heel faction in wrestling history.
Say what you want about Ole Anderson, but the guy was great on the mic & had one of the best minds for the buisness ever. I just love Ole on color commentary here, the way that he is able to draw paralles between wrestling & other pro sports in order to make wrestling seem realistic is brilliant. Bill Watts was great at this too.
I've got to say that watching this whole series of GCW was fantastic. Growing up in Philly w/o cable, didn't get to see this. Followed it through the magazines at the time though, so was nice to finally see these guys in action. Fantastic!
He was trying to say.. they are just giving you a trinket; nothing has changed. He was saying Ole you said you would give me a real chance in Georgia and now, you're lying to me too? As far as his comment about the people.. the people were telling him not to trust Ole. People can say what they want about wrestling fans back then, but they knew one thing, "NEVER trust Ole Anderson."
Gene Ligon was one of the best jobbers on Mid-Atlantic Wrestling and later on WCW. I don't recall him ever winning a match. In fact, he ofter was whipped by other jobbers. I would like to see more of his matches if anyone has them.
I don't care for Ole after some nasty comments he mad about Ric Flair, however, this is one of the most REAL compelling interviews in the history of pro wrestling. I remember watching this when it aired originally.

@Lfdjake91 Every Heel Turn and every baby Face Turn that Ole Anderson did throughout his career were great. Ole was a real talent.

The Gordbuster was a great finisher. The Spinebuster was a great move too.
