The Minnesota Wrecking Crew piss off the Mad Dog

[blackjackjohnson1976]

Go back and watch the video from 85 when Ole & Arn put a real real real serious beat down on Magnum T.A. He got caught up doing interview in the dressing room by his self next thing you know it was lights out for Magnum.

[MrKerwin79]

are both brother or cousin ?

[TBirdSCIL]

Oh man, NWA-JCP had a DEEP roster in 1985...Flair, Rhodes, Blanchard, Andersons, Sawyers, Warriors, RnR, Midnights, Wahoo, Fernandez, Garvin, the Russians, Haynes, Slater, Superstar Graham, Valiant, Taylor, Landell, Dundee, Barbarian, etc...

[CadillacL]

Classic wrestling. This doesn't get any better. Today's WISH they could get this excitement.

[rudymartinez]

this stuff is priceless!

[SmittyHeWasNumber1]

Arn sucks

[SashaNein]

@SmittyHeWasNumber1 Arn Anderson is one of the best of all-time, and now going into the WWE Hall of Fame where he belongs.

[natureboy1313]

Greatest era of Pro Wrestling

[Kubrickfilmfan73]

Yeah, those guys down at Hank's Hot Dog Stand always talk a good game--but they're just like everybody else.

[scumgod13]

WTF was sawyer a face during this time? Did I miss something? I always remember him as a heel.

[whycantihavemyownuse]

"dirty" dick slater

[jimpsyd]

face or heel, buzz sawyer was a awesome talent. if he didnt pass away at too early of an age, could u imagine how he would have done in ecw

[udderprojectz]

Loved how the fans always chanted "We don't want to hear it" at Ole.

[piercdbruh]

Ole Anderson promos seem freaking REAL. Dude used to make storylines look personal.

[starwars518]

I miss these days.

[39dogmeat]

80's wrestling rules macmahon's bullshit makes me sick

[Ninety2q]

So did they perform in front of only 75 people because this was supposed to be more for TV?

[mamacornettesmoney]

@Ninety2q Yeah, they were bringing thousands in to house shows nightly. They just did TV for TBS at Turner Studios because Turner liked it that way.

[deanw0rmer]

I loved it when Ole would break some jobbers arm.

[scumgod13]

Was Buzz a good guy for awhile?

[altohart]

@scumgod13 Yeah, he was so crazy he had a stretch where he got over as a good guy...I forget exactly how long because I was a kid, but he was cheered for a while.

[IanFidel]

The Minnesota Wrecking crew with Ole & Arn were the best technical tag team of that era

[MrFilmMakerNumber2]

i like'd buzz. he was crazy. look at the boots man.

[zybeco]

Buizz Sawyer was a piece of garbage. He couldnt have carried Ole or Arn's jock

[massiveham]

pretty stiff rights toward the end. looks like they were trying to bust sawyer open. and that leap with the knee to the side of the head from ole looks pretty damn ballsy to pull off. no re-takes on that one! great post. thanks.

[mtdinstrumentals]

i really miss this type of stuff!1 classic!!

[north5880]

After 4:28, you didn't see Mark Cooper in the ring again. I'd like to see more matches of Ole and Arn Anderson on YouTube soon, their matches against jobbers and inexperienced wrestlers in 1985, 1986 and 1987.

[mabood1212]

where did they get their opponents back in the day? Its like a van just pulled up to the unemployment line and asked if anybody wants to work for the day as a jobber.

[north5880]

There were several that shouldn't have been out there wrestling back in the '80s. Some looked out of shape. They should have put some hours in the the gym and muscle themselves up the way that the WWE wrestlers do now. But this was way before the interest got bigger in the mid-80s for the main events, massive TV contracts and pay per views for wrestling.

[scumgod13]

@mabood1212 Exactly! We always called the guys that got beat again and again the worms.

[mamacornettesmoney]

@scumgod13 We called them "wimps"

[Mojack420]

@mabood1212 jobbers usaly made more for the tv tapping then the stars . they are known as enhancment talent . their job is to get the star over

[JuliusC1973]

@mabood1212 There were more than 30 Professional Wrestling Promotions across the United States and Canada back then. If you wanted to become a Professional Wrestler, you had a lot of places you could work and learn to perform in front of a crowd, learn to do interviews and cut promos.

[ZenPimps]

@mabood1212 To be a "jobber" then meant you could look like you never touched a barbell in your life. Just have the ability to look like you have no ability.

[whycantihavemyownuse]

@mabood1212 you know they were standing at the 7-Eleven waiting for a quick buck lol

[kenpalmer1965]

I remember when this encounter occured. I was watching WCW one Saturday evening as it happened. This was when Dick Slater and Buzz Sawyer were feuding with Ole and Arn Anderson.

Ken Palmer

[hellbilly34a]

cocaine is a helluva drug

[thunderbare]

that is the truth

[linkmand]

The rumours are that Buzz was a legit toughass some guy put a gun to his or in his mouth, buzz smiled took the gun away and prceeded to whop that guys ass.

[1Lawman104]

MAD DOG WAS COOL..OLE SUCKED..

[Kjr0se]

You REALLY have to give those referees a LOT of credit as well, Like Tommy Young, Teddy Long, Randy Anderson, Steve Gregory, Mike Fever, Scrappy McGowan, and Nick Patrick, they were the best referees the NWA had in those days.

[cardog57]

David Crockett really sucked as an announcer. I mean he SUCKED!

[friway]

Mad Dog had the best powerslam in pro wresling.

[critikull]

Typical andersons. Work one body part the whole match, quick tags, 123 win. Love it.

[thunderbare]

do you think that any tag team or wrestler remember ole and to a lesser extent did that when they were solo wrestler compare this to the stuff they have the hutzpah to pas off as wrestling excuse me entertainment today

[HoseaThaGreat]

this is my first tiime seeing minnesota wrecking crew wrestle and im amazed

[1400deadwood]

Minnesota Wrecking Crew = the Pride of Minnesota!

[CoryByrd2006]

I love watching the Andersons wrestle.

[karamibryant]

Yeah man.The Refs Back then didn't look like in-ring timekeepers.They looked official, especially Tommy young.

[Upstatebound]

You'd have to be a fool to imagine that any tag team could stand in the fire with the Andersons. What you see right here makes it real clear that Sawyer, TA, Dusty Rhodes, you name it any day any era! The Minnesota Wrecking Crew were the all time WRESTLING TEAM. They prove it!!!

[Kjr0se]

THAT was REAL Wrestling. Sure miss those classic wrestling matches. I also miss the referees I knew, like Tommy Young, The late Randy Anderson, Nick Patrick, Steve Gregory, Mike fever, Scrappy McGowan, and Teddy Long.

[north5880]

The Andersons really roughed up Alan Martin's arm! Alan must have gotten a haircut--his hair was always longer. He looked like he was just starting out in wrestling.
