Manage episode 482854432 series 3509452
This week on the Wrestling Stoop, Bob Roop dives into the aftermath and rebuilding process that Ole Anderson incurred following Vince McMahon's takeover of GCW. Hear how Ole fought to rebuild his new Georgia promotion from the ashes. With the WWF making aggressive moves into southern strongholds, Ole didn’t just push back, he tried to reclaim what was his. We break down the fallout, how Ann Gunkel played a pivotal role in getting Anderson back on TBS, talent jumping ship, a brief alliance with Jerry Jarrett, and what made Georgia’s rebirth under Ole such a gritty, fascinating chapter in wrestling history. Politics, pride, and pure stubbornness... it’s all here!
