EdwardKnoxII 0 Report post Posted December 30, 2003 I thought I'd post this to see if anyone else remembers this. Does anybody remember the time Ole Anderson worked as a ref for WCW in I think '91 or '92. Man talk about awful. This is how he went. When a wrestler would have someone for a pin. Ole would SLOWLY check one side to make sure the shoulder was down and then SLOWLY go to the other side to make sure it was down. And finally would SLOWLY start the count. Hell by the time Ole would start the count the wrestler had his man in the pin for a good 11 secs. Good thing Ole didn't last long as a ref. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2004 Ole Anderson was appointed as a "special enforcer" esque referee when Bill Watts ran WCW in mid-late '92. I LOVED WCW then, it produced a lotta great stuff despite what the critics think, including: Sting/Cactus, Vader wins WCW Title, Doc & Gordy kill everyone, Steiners seem human, awesome NWA Tag Tourney, Scotty Flamingo pushed, Steamboat/Rude, etc... I remember the stupid rules, however, that Ole helped enforced. No throwing into the ringpost, AND NO JUMPING OFF OF THE TOP ROPE. At Beach Blast, there was a 6-man, and I think Ole DQ'd someone (Bobby Eaton?) Ole's whole "slow count" thing was a gimmick that he was instructed to do. It wasn't as ridiculous as you described, but it was noticeable. "Checking the shoulders" and doing a "true" 3 count was the deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
