Minnesota Wrecking Crew A Brief History of the Anderson Family in Professional Wrestling The Andersons are one of wrestling's greatest families, known worldwide as the infamous Minnesota Wrecking Crew. Their history is explored here in a timeline that stretches across five decades. Month by month, year by year, the story unfolds with all the angles, feuds, territories, and traditions. It is all here in one concise reference book sure to bring back great memories of a time long ago when men were men - and the toughest of them were named Anderson. Gene Anderson was the first, the original, and the foundation. In Anderson lore, he is joined by his brothers Lars and Ole, and later by cousin Arn, son Brad, and nephew Bryant. Another cousin winds his way through this tale as well - the "Nature Boy" Ric Flair! With research drawn from thousands of match listings and newspaper results, as well as hundreds of hours of audio and video tape, Minnesota Wrecking Crew is a complete look at the Anderson dynasty in professional wrestling.

"With the Horseman DVD in production people have asked me my opinion of Ole Anderson. Firstly, the Horseman DVD won’t be as good as it could be without Ole’s input. Secondly, Ole was a brilliant, wrestling mind who was a tough son of a gun and an excellent wrestler. He might never be elected Mr. Congeniality but that job doesn’t pay too well as best I know. Ole was challenging to work for at times but I learned a great deal from him as it relates to the business. I don’t think he likes me much but aside from that I have great respect for him and regard him as one of the best in ring talents I ever saw. His partnership with the late Gene Anderson was awesome." - Jim Ross J.R.'s BBQ Blog
