    Episode 19: A Tribute To Ole Anderson

    This week's episode of The Wrestling Stoop is a special edition, discussing the life and times of the incomparable Ole Anderson. Bob pays his respects in the best way he knows how, discussing memories & anecdotes of the late, great, Ole Anderson. Bob goes back and shares memories of Ole the booker, the promoter, the wrestler, the legend, the friend. We get a good look at Ole behind the scenes, which wasn't all that much different from the character we got on screen. A no-nonsense businessman, a straight shooter, a gruff personality, but a stand up guy. RIP - Ole Anderson (9/22/1942 - 2/26/2024)
