‘You and Your Wife Can Go F**k Yourselves’: This WCW Legend Regretted For Misbehaving With Vince McMahon and Linda McMahon

Vince McMahon is the one man who changed pro wrestling forever. He transformed the business from a territorial setup to a global phenomenon. When McMahon decided to take over territories in the 1980s, he naturally turned many people against him. One of the people he rubbed the wrong way back then was a pro wrestling legend and a member of the Four Horsemen.

Ole Anderson was the owner of Georgia Championship Wrestling (GCW) from 1983 to 84. During Vince’s pro wrestling Renaissance, GCW was one of the promotions he would absorb into his WWE.

Anderson had some harsh words for McMahon and his wife when he came to talk business with the original Horsemen member back in the day.

Vince McMahon wanted Ole to work with him

Ole Anderson talked about what happened with Vince McMahon when he came to meet him and made an offer. Anderson states McMahon offered him more money than he would’ve made anywhere else but he declined the offer.

A few weeks later, McMahon visited Anderson along with his wife Linda McMahon. However, the GCW owner dismissed them in a crude manner.

Legendary WCW  commentator Tony Schiavone revealed what Anderson told McMahon and his wife.

He said, “In later years, Ole told me this story, but in his later years, he regrets the way he treated Vince and Linda. Vince comes to the TBS studios during the takeover and he wanted to extend the hand of friendship to Ole. He says, ‘and here is my wife Linda.’ Ole’s line was, ‘you and your wife can go f**k yourselves.’ Something to that effect. He regretted that.”

As an old-school wrestling veteran, Anderson was certainly not happy about the changes McMahon was bringing to the business.

This interaction could also be the reason Anderson was left out from the induction of the Four Horseman into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2012. Schiavone added, “That’s the reason why Ole wasn’t part of the Four Horsemen inducted into the Hall of Fame.”

Ole Anderson was one of the greats of all time

One of the legends of the business Anderson was part of the original Four Horsemen stable that included Ric Flair, Tully Blanchard, J.J. Dillon, and his brother Arn Anderson.

He held the NWA Columbus Heavyweight championship once and held many other titles under various promotions. Although left out from the WWE Hall of Fame, Anderson was inducted by WCW into their class of 1994 Hall of Fame. NWA also honored him with induction into their Hall of Fame in 2010.
