On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Ricky Morton discussed the late Ole Anderson and his impact on the wrestling industry.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Ole Anderson treating wrestling like a business: “Ole was hardcore, it was no game, it was no joke, this is a business thing and that is the way he treated it.”
On Anderson being highly educated: “90% of the time, Ole read a book. Ole was a highly educated guy, he delivered all his children when they were born, he read stuff and learned how to do it. He was different from everybody else. It wasn’t always good times with him, but you had to earn Ole’s respect…”
On Ric Flair’s respect for Ole: “Don’t get me wrong, Ric respected him because I remember back then, hell, they’d argue like hell all the time. Ole never ran with nobody.”
Ole Anderson, one of the original members of the Four Horsemen, passed away last week at the age of 81.
