Georgia Wrestling - Ole & Gene Anderson on Superstar and II

[blovedbrownsfan77]

WOW!  Does that bring back some memories!

[JonathanVonErich]

Gene was a silent assassin who did his talking in the ring. Sometimes I think Ole spoke too much.

[MagicKirin]

@JonathanVonErich

Gene's facial expression looked like duh

Ole was an incredibly overated wrestler.

Best move was dumping him and getting it right the 2nd time adding Windham to the Horseman

[grynder66]

No body was a meaner tag team than the Minnesota Wrecking Crew...

[RSXemperor]

The HHH/Ole comparisons are not too far off. Its well known HHH is a huge fan of old school NWA. In one of his DVD's, he said unlike the other kids his age, he didn't watch the WWWF growing up in the northeast. He preferred Georgia Championship Wrestling and Mid-Atlantic's syndicated stuff.

[danteras23]

Ole was a tough sob. One of the best heels ever.

[MikeJ6129]

The Minnesota Wrecking Crew

[saholben]

that...folks...is called SELLING TICKETS!!

[aimsuxdoggydills]

HHH and Ole? Both good assholes with no charisma.

[BourgeoisBuffoon]

This was before/after Gene had to report to ABC's 'Wide World of Sports' with Jim McKay. God bless both Gene and Jim. :-)

[bcushing]

I always wondered what was up with Gene's "tick". They were the greatest tag team of all time bar NONE!

[TheManiacOnWheelsUSA]

@bcushing I wonder if he had Tourettes Syndrome?

[geniemaster100]

They wrote the book on tag team wrestling.

[mrwrestlingII]

The Anderson's were so cool when I was a kid...my best friend started doing gene's twitch and it soon became something he did without thinking about it. Remember my mom say she didn't think he'd be able to stop doing it later in life.

[lnsc4life08]

Genes my Grandpa. I was only 2 months when he died. so its crazy  to see him on here lol i wish i could of had the privillage to see him in action. but yeah my mom told me jonny weaver put him in the sleeper and it messed up his vertebrae preety bad so thats where the twitch came from

[RogPnn]

No one and I mean no one could deliver a forearm blow to the back like Ole.

[CadillacL]

Some of my earliest memories was Olie & Gene. Then I remember Olie & Ivan Koloff feuiding (for a short time i think) w/Tommy Rich & Rick Martel. How did Gene get that twitch? Was it an accident in the ring?

[clstrat939]

IIRC, the angle was that Johnny Weaver put Gene out with the sleeper and waited a bit too long to revive him. Gene and Ole worked everyone Rich/Martel, Flair/Valentine, Tim Woods/Dino Bravo, Wahoo/Paul Jones,Weaver/George Becker, etc. The Wrecking Crew were pioneers in the tag team division and a great heel team.

[eslubin]

great video

[Kevinstar2009]

Gene Anderson...LOL what a joke

[HISTORYBUFFPA]

I was unaware of Gene and Lars.

And Arn & Tully are prob. my all time fav.

I know about Ollie.

Thanks for enlightening me.

[thefriendsociety]

MAN that Head TWITCH is off the hook!! That's some Mark Lewin, Beetlenut stuff!

[bigbluedinosaur]

Gene was a tough old dude and Ole really had a lot of love for him in his heart. We lost Gene too soon. He was a legend.

[JohnnyBExtreme]

I second that opinion, my friend. My earliest memories were of the Original Minnesota Wrecking Crew.

[deuceoo]

@bigbluedinosaur Agreed Gene was a great manager unthe twilight of his career

[fastmoverinbound]

is gene the one that keeps twitching his head

[OrigLanceR]

yep

[pattersongrove]

What a great combination Bill edie and John Studd as the superstars vs the Andersons

[Tsuruta1]

I was at the event which included that match and it ended with the Andersons walking out.

[Tsuruta1]

I've seen the Anderson Bros. for years growing up in Atlanta,been to MANY of their matches but I've often wondered about that "twitch" that Gene always did.Was that some sort of condition he had or was is just part of his gimmick?

[Lfdjake91]

Gene's twitch was supposedly the result of a legit past head injury.

[Tsuruta1]

Thanx for the info.

[gvader]

Ole plays a great bad guy but he looks like such a nice guy.Kind of like an uncle or something. LOL!

[armandroh666]

If I made a top 10 list of best tag-teams in history, the Minnesota Wrecking Crew (Gene/Lars, Gene/Ole, then Arn/Ole Anderson) would be @ #1

[ebbowman]

Ole was so badass in his day. Definition of a true heel.

[misterio2K]

As I watch this clip Tripple H character reminds me a lot of Ole Anderson. Tripple H like Ole can be a good face and a really damn bad heel, moreover Tripple H like Ole is very unpredictable. One never knows when Ole or Tripple H will turn and stab you in the back

[popculturestu]

That's actually a pretty good comparisome. Hadn't thought of that before.

[Splackwell]

This is actually a spot on comparison. The way you've said this have made me get a whole different level of respect for Triple H and it's the absolute truth.

[JohanStendal]

were did you get this reel?

[popculturestu]

Traded for it years ago.

[Abyono]

@popculturestu What year around was this?...

[catdaddy2006]

The Andersons and Bob Caudle were Mid-Atlantic greats. Takes me back to Sat. mornings in the south!
