"Never let 'em see you sell, kid."

(August 2011) One of the greatest wrestling t-shirts ever designed hit the NWA Wrestling Legends Fanfest in Atlanta. It photographically depicts the various emotions of the one and only Ole Anderson. Except that each photo placed above each listed emotion is the exact same photo. 

Joy, sorrow, excitement…same photo of Ole. It is brilliant and captures Ole Anderson to a tee.


Scott Teal of 1wrestlinglegends.com and crowbarpress.com designed the shirt. Scott co-wrote Ole Anderson's auto-biography a few years back.

Brad Anderson saw the photo of the shirt on Facebook and loved it. Brad is the son of Ole's long time Minnesota Wrecking Crew tag team partner Gene Anderson.

"That's so great," Brad related. "Ole not selling anything!"

Brad was reminded of something his father taught him, both as it related to wrestling, and everything else in life:

"Never let 'em see you sell, kid," his Dad taught him.

Gene obviously once taught Ole Anderson that lesson well.
