During an appearance on the “What Happened When” podcast, AEW commentator Tony Schiavone recalled the past beef between Ole Anderson and the McMahons.
For those who may not recall, Anderson was excluded from the Four Horsemen’s WWE Hall of Fame induction back in 2012. The tension between Anderson and Vince McMahon dates back to the 1980s.
Schiavone says Ole once told him that he regrets the way he treated Vince and Linda. He said,
“In later years, Ole told me this story, but in his later years, he regrets the way he treated Vince and Linda. Vince comes to the TBS studios during the takeover and he wanted to extend the hand of friendship to Ole. He says, ‘and here is my wife Linda.’ Ole’s line was, ‘you and your wife can go f**k yourselves.’ Something to that effect. He regretted that. That is old school and a guy [Anderson] who loved the territories and loved the old school, and a guy [McMahon] who was changing the wrestling business. Ole regrets that, but that’s the reason why Ole wasn’t part of the Four Horsemen inducted into the Hall of Fame.”
