GREENVILLE, S.C. (FOX Carolina) – WWE announced the passing of 1980s pro wrestling legend Old Anderson on Monday.
Ole Anderson was a founding member of the Four Horsemen.

Trained by WWE Hall of Famer Verne Gagne, WWE said Anderson was a prolific and decorated tag team wrestler, most famously alongside Arn Anderson in The Minnesota Wrecking Crew.
The duo joined forces with Ric Flair, Tully Blanchard and manager J.J. Dillon to establish the iconic stable shown as The Four Horsemen.
