Bret Hart "shoots" on Ole

[Guest Astro]

In a new book by Ole Anderson he wrote (page 198)

 

Stu Hart's kid Bret missed a shot in Augusta. the next day he came to the office and fed me a story about getting lost, or whatever his excuse was. I gave him the benefit of the doubt. The next night, he was booked in Macon--and he missed that. Once again, on the following day he walked into the office to give me another excuse for why he didn't make it on Tuesday. "I'll tell you what," I explained. "Don't worry about tonight?"

"Well, where am I gonna be?"

I shrugged my shoulders, "I don't know."

"Well, am I working somewhere? "I haven't any idea. Well., what's

running tonight?" "Columbus is running. Am I booked there?":

"No."

"Why aren't I booked there?"

"Listen," I said. "On Monday, you were booked in Augusta and you didn't make it. On Tuesday you were booked in Macon and you didn't get there. Tonight, you're not booked in Columbus, but by the same token, I'm not looking for you. If you show up, that's your business. Buy a ticket and come in."

A few days later, Stu Hart called me, "ecch, you eehhhh fired my boy."

"Stu, he didn't make the towns. I can't operate like that." Stu was a

little upset about it, but that was the end of it. The kid never worked

for me again."

 

Bret Hart's Response:

 

It was always abundantly clear to me that Ole Anderson was a moron, but

he's also a colossal liar that has probably taken too many whacks on the head.

Throughout my entire career I missed but one town during the six years I wrestled for my father’s Stampede Wrestling promotion; I never missed a booking for any reason when I worked for New Japan; I missed but two bookings in the fourteen years I worked for the WWF and both were due to plane connections over which I had no control; and I missed no bookings while working for WCW. As for the brief period that I worked for Georgia Championship Wrestling, back in 1979, I arrived from Canada without a vehicle with the high hopes that I would make enough money to buy a used one, but the pay-offs were so

pathetic that I would have been lucky to buy a tricycle to get from town to town. I had to rely on various wrestlers and female fans to help me get around. Yes, I did in fact miss one town during that brief period, on account of a notorious dick head who, oddly enough, was an Ole Anderson wanna be, named Buzz Sawyer. He purposely left me behind because we basically were vying for the same position at the time. That idiot Ole never made an issue of it and over the next few weeks I realized that I could make more money if I went back home, so I called up Jim Barnett and gave my notice. At no time was I ever in the Georgia Championship office and the conversation Ole Anderson wrote about in his book never took place, in the office or anywhere else. I left Georgia

Championship Wrestling grateful for the learning experience but virtually penniless. As

a matter of fact, when I was leaving that asshole Ole tried to book me to Knoxville, Tennessee instead of me returning home but my dad told me I wouldn't do

any better there either, so I returned home. I think Ole needs a frontal

lobotomy because he told my dad a few years later that the reason I didn't make

it down there in Atlanta was because I smelled bad and that none of the wrestlers wanted to work with me. I remember my dad telling him to go FXXX himself, and I feel those words are more than appropriate again now.

The Pro Wrestling business has rarely come across such a humungus jackoff of the caliber of Ole Anderson. If anyone wants to look at my history of making my bookings they can check with Vince McMahon, who I'm sure would be happy to verify my

professionalism by telling you that in the fourteen straight years that I worked for

him without any break I missed but two towns when I was often working over

three hundred days a year, with a schedule beyond anything Ole Anderson could

imagine. Go F XXX Yourself Ole!!!!!!!

Go F XXX Yourself Ole!!!!!!!

Didn't expect that from Bret

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

Bret kicks ass.

[Guest Black Tiger]

Off topic, but where can I find Ole's book. I've heard all about it but never seen it anywhere, I haven't even heard the title of it.

You can find the book from this website. I finished the book, and well some of what he says I agree with, but on the other hand, it does seem like he's blowing smoke out of his ass. He does admit he has a bad ego and can be asshole in the book.

 

It's at 1wrestlinglegends.com, here's the link. Name of the Book is "Inside Out" How Corporate America Destroyed Professional Wrestling.

 

Ole's Book

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

So Ole basically admits he's two faced, and expects people to believe the shit he's peddaling in his book.

 

His brain must have been fried down in the Georgia sun for too long.

I've read stories about how Buzz Sawyer and Ole Anderson are not well liked but I do have one question.

 

In 1979, would Bret Hart, a virtual unknown in the States, really have been competing with Buzz Sawyer for the same spot in Georgia? It seems like Buzz was a lot bigger name at the time. Or did the Tommy Rich feud in the early 80's put Sawyer on the wrestling map?

[Guest Loss]

Bret and Buzz were at about the same spot at that point in time. Greater things were predicted for Sawyer, though.

 

The two had a really nifty match against each other on GCW TV in 1980.

Can't wait for Bret's books to come out.

[The Kid 0]

That's awesome, I'm glad Bret has the balls to clear his name like that. And yeah, Bret's book is going to be a great read.

[Steviekick 0]

Bret's book will be amazing.

[Mecha Mummy 0]

Go Bret! I'm glad Bret spared the formalities and just got down to the simple truth; Ole Anderson can FXXX himself.

[Guest Indikator]

How can you think that a guy who had a f´n stroke can remember old events better than someone who never had anything likely?

[Rendclaw 0]

Stroke or not, he's smearing someone else. You don't have to go any further than the shoot interview to find out what an asshole Ole is, stroke or not.

[Guest JacK]

I think Ole needs a frontal lobotomy because he told my dad a few years later that the reason I didn't make it down there in Atlanta was because I smelled bad and that none of the wrestlers wanted to work with me.

That's hilarious if he said it in those words; though it just came to me that he would've said 'stunk' . . . but I just couldn't stop laughing when I read how he 'smelt bad' It sounds so childish.
