Jim Cornette on Ole Anderson 

Georgia Wrestling from like 78-84 was probably the best of all time. And Ole booked most of it.

The Ole turn on Big Dust back in 1980 was one of the best stunts in all of wrestling, it caused a in the arena riot, for generating heat it was pure genius. I seen the video's of it and it was brilliant.

You know when Cornette is about to apologize for someone. He does the “be-he-he” laugh and then coughs.

That intro is awesome. Gives me an idea for a new voice mail message to make

That intro is badass

"In all fairness to Ole..." Not a phrase I was expecting to hear.

I could listen to Jim tell stories all day wait I do lol

Was that the Shock Master in the in beginning ??? 😂😂😂

That opening minute was something

Now I'm not saying Jim Cornette and Hirohiko Araki are the same person, but has anyone seen them both in the same room?

I'm just hearing this fucking epic intro. I mean, I'm lit but I've been laughing at this and restarting it for at least 10 mins

Cornette’s laughter sound like a cartoon villain’s evil laughter.

The mothership was out of control 😂

I know its black scorpion but Brian sounds like Dr.Claw

I think Jim was talking about Giorgio Moroder.

I named my sweetest, softest male cat 'Ole' after Ole Anderson as something of a mockery.

for some reason cornette knowing Kraftwerk blows my mind

This guy said no one would ever pay to see the Undertaker Mark Calaway wrestle.

That's some pretty impressive key tar work there

Jean-Michel Jarre is possibly the musician Jim was reaching for there. Brian's synth reminded me more of the David Cronenberg film, 'Scanners'. Or a generic approximation of budget zombie film scores of that era. I dare say the creative process wasn't a million miles different.

Sounds like Dr. Claw

Sounds like the Shockmaster.

Love the synth. Casino?

Best intro....... Ever!

Shogun Assassin into...🤣🤣🤣🤣

whoa never thought id hear corny namedrop kraftwerk.

Cornett has told the story that Ole made Cornett and the Midnight express tape 4 matches in one day for TV and then fly to Baltimore and wrestle in a show that night. They lost all 5 mathces.

He probably is talking about Gary Numan who did Cars.

ole anderson in other shoot interviews says why he fired roddy piper.

Killer Kraftwerk reference.

Sounded like kraang from the old tmnt comics cassette tapes.

Hate Ole, or love Ole, everyone has to admit that he made a shit load of money in Atlanta alone. While everyone else was traveling 400 miles a night to get to the next town their promotion was running, Ole stayed at home cause he knew that the very next week he was going to have another packed house at the Omni. There aren't that many guys in the wrestling business who can say that a single city was their bread and butter every single week. Jerry Lawler in Memphis is the only wrestler/booker/co-owner that I can think of.

‘Ole had plenty of good ideas, he didn’t have an ending for them’ didn’t he say the same about russo’s booking

And Jim Cornette as .....White Michael Jackson ....He He

WTF, Kraftwerk did music for the NWA???

ANSWER ME! Followed by Corny cracking up

Ole was so frustrated with Jim Herd at that point, he simply didn't care. So he came up with RoboCop and The Black Scorpion story lines to be sent home and simply collect his paycheck in the mailbox.

Where did Brian get the soundtrack to a 1980s Italian post-apocalypse movie?

Ole said Santa Claus was the shits.

Ole Anderson: Professional Wrestling's original Grumpy Old Man

Listening to some stories and interviews hes done I cant help but wonder what would happen if ole and new jack ever crossed paths.

That would be like me saying I can't put Andre over.😅😅😅

Ole, everyone else's work sucks as his work loses money. Piper, hogan, rock and roll express, etc. He consistently succeeded in making $h!t out of gold

Ole Anderson is like an old timer trapped in the era he lives in..and too stubborn to see past the era and times he lives in.. He's brilliant and on point for example well just use Hogan for purposes of discussion here. When ole first acquired Hogan... he was definitely green as all fuck and as Gorilla Monsoon would say..didn't know a wristlock from a wristwatch..and as Lou Thesz would say back in the early 80s..my grandmother could do a better legdrop than him.. NOW keep in mind that we all start out green and not knowing shit until we are trained.. Hogan eventually learned from Vergne Gange and HiroMatsuro... If you watch Hogan matches in Japan and early 80s and late 70s of you'd see Hogan doing takedowns and combinations so to say that Hogan doesn't know or can't wrestle at all is pure bullshit.. But in today's world of getting over in the entertainment industry..Hogan became the larger than life gimmick with his ear to the crowd and the tearing of his t-shirt and most muscular posing in the ring to i am a real American gimmick that 30 PLUS YEARS later is a household name.. OLE only sees what the person started out as..and is dead on in the start of the person..but as the person progressed throughout their career and here were using Hogan as an example.. OLE stayed cynical and in denial about the success the person became..and that is the biggest tradegy with a very knowlegable guy like OLE..he was only a genius in his day..failure to adapt was and is today his downfall. Let me give a personal example as I will use my dad here in a few examples. I consider my dad as many of us do as precious and I wouldn't trade him for any other parent God assigned to me while he was alive on planet earth.. But we all have flaws and can learn from those flaws.. NOW my dad was phenomenal not just in his day but at adapting to many many obstacles and overcoming them always learning and doing New things.. But as he aged..certain things always stayed with him..and certain things he never wavered with.. He never understood the fist bump...you know..how two people touch fists..the way alot of us greet each other today..and of course we picked it up with the African American community.. NOW if you ever heard my dad..a decorated Vietnam vet special forces green barett and a man with 3 PhDs tell the story..you'd think he thought he was going to have to defend himself in a fight.. A person taking their fist to you would be perceived that way but when it exploded in the 1990s..the fist bump between two people was a cool thing..and now I see just as many if not more white folk doing it than African Americans... But my point is..with my dad..he never saw it as a way folk greet each other but as a physical confrontation..and from his perspective you would certainly agree..but he never adapted past that way of thinking.. Another thing my dad never really adapted to was the use of a phone and he's not alone..many in his age bracket today still don't but more and more are coming around.. When I was growing up..we had a rotary phone in the home..a green landline that sat on a big wooden desk and you physically had to dial it.. To record a message..you didn't have voice mail but you could buy a tape recorder and put little casesstes in them and change them as they ran out of space or when you freed up room after listening to the message and erasing it.. Anyway..I'm digressing here..as kids my dad would limit us to use of the phone for 3 minutes.. According to my dad..the phone is s communications device...period..anything you have to say and do with a person on the phone should take no more than 3 minutes..and even up until he died..he was exactly like that.. NOW today we use our cellphones to make money trade stocks check our email..etc.. I use these examples here as I'm reminded when I come across people like OLE who in his own way remind me of my dad in the sense that certain things will never be adapted into their lifestyle because either the technology or the wave of things overwhelm you to just say I'd rather not be bothered with it.. Getting back to Ole..he's not the only one stuck in a certain era that he can't get out of..which in his case is the territory era..because when Vince came along after Sr. Died he set his plan in motion to go beyond territory to national and international outreach all at the same time..in other words thinking out of the box.. NOW with Vince his thinking outside the box eventually destroyed all his competition...so he has none not since Ted Turner from the early 2000s.. The downfall of Vince is not that he can't think outside the box anymore..he sees himself today as not challenged enough so he works at his own comfortable pace no-one obstructing him... But in the truest sense each of us on our own lifetime will have our shortcomings in adapting to the present and future in one form or another...

Did ken Paterson smack ole?

I was more of a fan of their stuff on Trans-Euro Express.

Kraftwerk is cool

Animoog default patch ftw!

Giorgio Moroder?

Ole pissed a lot of people off. He was a simple minded SOB!!!

Shockmaster!!

When was the last time Last had personality and not a sycophant to Corn ?

I wonder if Ole is taking bookings...?....

I believed Jim was the smartest man in wrestling. Then I hear him talk about Donald Trump and his "bad decision making" and I realize perhaps everything Jim says is wrong and Vince Russo is a genious.

Uh...tough guy Ole Anderson 😠

Bon bon bon auto bon

using a cheap casio keyboard from the thrift shop....its like having a great joke but no punch line.
