Ole Anderson was a man of strong opinions and he stood up for himself and other wrestlers, earning him a reputation as "someone you want on your side", a reputation that was known outside of Georgia Championship Wrestling.



Even in the world of wrestling timing is everything and Ole's friendship with Jim Crockett and Ted Turner gave the sport a huge presence when Turner's SuperstationWTBS-Atlanta aired Pro Wrestling on Saturday Mornings in 1984, causing a wave of new cable subscribers and turning wrestlers into superheroes!

I was just watching some Ole's classic stuff on Peacock a few months ago. Sad that he passed on.



Here's Dibiase's reaction to Virgil's death.
