Summertime is here! (And never forget
summertime is for Steamboat and Youngblood, wearing their Hawaiian lay
and Indian headdress, sweating like crazy in an old un-air-conditioned
civic center.) School is out and Jesus is still my best friend! My
babies are so excited, Garrett is done with elementary school!
I preached two weekends in a row at the Charlotte speedway. What a great time, we wrestled, gave out Bibles, served over 500 race fans breakfast on just Sunday, and 16 hearts were given to Jesus! Last Saturday, me and my guys did three shows in three different cities in one day! I dare anybody else to try that. We met the greatest family doing one of our birthday party shows. Hello to them, what great people. Yes, I'll bring a wrestling ring to your birthday party, too - call me!
I can't wait to get back into my own church
this Wednesday night! You folks don't think its time for Jesus to come
back? I went to Wal-Mart, bought me this small refrigerator fridge, for
Sotos Mountain Dews this summer.
Reid Flair and little Ricky Steamboat will be making exciting news very soon. My own son George South Jr. wanted me to tell everyone hello. Makayla, the worlds prettiest grandbaby, will be 3 very soon! My Dallas Cowboys are looking very good. Oh! Less than a few months away, the NFL season will be back!
The only "Boogie man" I know, Jimmy Valiant, worked a few shows for me, may just be the classiest guy ever. Can't wait to see Terry Funk and Harley Race at the Charlotte Fanfest in August! If anyone knows were I can find Buzz Tyler, please email me. My training school is doing great, hope everyone may check it out. I hope everyone stays cool, reads their Bibles, talks to Jesus and has a great summer. Now you know what it is time for....
Can you imagine getting a call, a school wants to do a fund raiser, wants you to bring in some "big names" and everyone has a great night. Just like Jim Crockett used to do it. Yeah, right. I had everything cleared with the school board, three weeks before. I mailed them 50 beautiful posters and over 300 tickets, which they made the comment - "is that all?" Until I reminded them, it was over 3000 dollars worth of tickets! I called the NWA legends, not the school, I did! The date is set, I even turned down other bookings to keep this date for the school. Four days before belltime, I get a call, the "school superintendent'' does not want a show. Something about '' liability insurance'', which is the biggest work in the world. He says he doesn't want a wrestler getting hurt and suing the school. WHAT??? I asked him, why do I need insurance on a building that already has it? Yes, you goofs, if a building is open to the public, it has coverage! Ever notice when 10,000 high school football fans go to a game, you don't have to show your insurance card! What a work!! Nobody cares really if a wrestler gets hurt or not! I have been doing this over 30 years, I saw some of the greatest "scams" pulled off by wrestlers, but Mr. Superintendant that cancelled this show - -I have never, ever saw a wrestler sue a school! So all you fans that went to that show, only to not see a ring, no legends or even me yelling - call your local school board there and ask them "why?" Oh yeah, you can also mention the rodeo that was allowed there before us! I am sure all them teachers getting laid off, are really concerned about us wrestlers! I will pray, speak at your church, rent you a ring, even drop you on your head, just let me know. God Bless. -George May 2010 Jesus is so good, summer is here folks....., pray for me as the Sotos, El Rayo and the world's beautifulest grandbaby Makayla now will be camping out at the headlock ranch full time! Oh yeah, these two dogs that hate me, "Ole and Gene" that belong to my son, they now have a friend that has moved in. "Lars" - who just happens to be a hamster that looks a lot like a mouse - is here now. Where does time go? My youngest son will now be leaving elementary school. I have picked up my babies from school every year of their life, now Garrett has let me know next year in middle school, he wants to ride the bus home! WHAT??? I think he enjoys breaking my heart just for the entertainment of it. Scarlet went 3 for 4 in her softball game last week. Now at Abigail's game, these two parents almost got in a fight over a third base call. I was laughing, because this goofball had just gave a boring thirty minute speech about teamwork, it's just for fun, everybody wins.....WHAT??? Who ever said that hasn't been blocking first base when Scarlet comes a running! Another thing, who was the goofball that said at the end of each school year during field day (which I always loved) kids can't get ribbons anymore? They are afraid some kid will get his feelings hurt? Listen, I never won a ribbon, I always came in last place, and see how good I turned out ? Little Ricky Steamboat called last week from Florida. Jason Jones has another month in Japan. My ABC4 is going to be so special this year. Summer is my favorite time, as a kid I always ordered my wrestling magazines through the mail so I would get them being out of school. I want to just say, I love Jesus so much, I believe he died for me. But the story didn't end their folks, he hasten forgotten me..... I get to go home soon! I am here at the library and this lady, that looks like Black Bart in a dress has told me to hurry, so what better way to go into my favorite part....... the Anderson Slam.
I have the best training school in the world. If I have one more goof ask can "I come and look at your school?" Listen, goofballs - you think I work for Donald Trump? That Sylvester Stallone is going to meet you at the front door? Does it matter what the building looks like when I drop you on your head? Now the idiot that called me and said he had a friend that wanted to train, a good friend who would just be perfect for my school. I said "great, what's his name?" This guy says, "Hold on, I'll ask him." WHAT??? I thought you knew him! He kept me on hold five minutes to ask what the other goof's name was! Now, this last one ain't really wrestling, but it sure would have ticked Ole and Gene off. How come theses fast food places ask us to wait while they cook more biscuits or fries? This drives me nuts. I would love to see some lady at Bojangle's tell the Andersons after they fought Wahoo and Paul for an hour that they had to wait on buiscuts. I ask the lady at Chick-Fil-A, did you not see the pan getting empty and think we may need more before it happened? Prayer, Youth Rallies, Ring Rentals, let me know. Jesus loves you so much, see you next month. God Bless, -George April 2010
Please give me a few extra days to answer all these emails, as I am back to going to the library and using their computers, but they are now closed two more days a week for cost cutting! What???? My Soto twins are having a great softball season. Scarlet, who I will refer to here as "Pete Rose" hit a single last week, running to first, as the girl went to tag her. Charlie Hustle decided to run straight through that girl! BLAM!! Very old Batmanish! I have saw Road Warriors collide with Dr. Death and Terry Gordy, even Wahoo and Harley, but this was very close to the same impact! Bleeding lip, chipped tooth, and dirt in her mouth, all my beautiful girl asked was - - "Was I safe???"
Before I get started, please keep your eyes open for exciting news on the Anderson Brothers Classic tournament. (Here is some info on the last Anderson tournament I held.) ABC4 coming soon! O.K. enough being nice, it may seem like I am picking on Laurens S.C. but last time there, two things really make me glad I can write my Anderson Slam column every month! I was able to get a match for one of the nicest, young students I have. He was getting dressed in a corner, excited about wrestling, and here walks up the stupidest goof in wrestling. Tells my kid, "you should have went around the locker room and shook everyone's hand." WHAT???? NO!!!!!!!!!!!! What an idiot!!!!! You outlaw goofs need to get it through your head, there ain't no stupid wrestler's handshake!! Besides, there were so many outlaw wrestlers there that night, it would have took a week to shake everyone's hand! Where does that crap come from anyway? I'll never forget Ric Flair signing autographs and this goof outlaw wrestler tried to give him a "wrestler's handshake." Ric jerked his hand back and told that goof "don't ever shake my hand like that." OK. Now part 2. You get a two-for-one special Anderson Slam this month. Just to prove that even women can be goofs and make my Anderson slam, at one of the recent shows where I rented a ring to a guy, I had my table set up , and I sold a little wrestling mask to this nice little kid. I was right in the middle of putting my boots on at my table. I had ran out of one dollar bills and I tell him as soon as I get my boots on, I will bring him the one other dollar I owed him, I had to get change. I can see where he is sitting, there aren't twenty people in the building to begin with. This isn't going to be hard! OK, he is happy and runs away with the biggest smile on his face! Well, that didn't last long, as his mom, or the wicked witch of the west as it turns out, comes stomping up to my table, is the ugliest tone imaginable what is going on? I didn't know what she wanted at first, she begins to tell me, wrestlers are all thieves, and she wants her dollar right now! I'm still lacing up my boot. I see the kid and realize what is happening. Well that was it!! In my best Dick Slater-ish' voice, I let her have it!! I told her the same thing I had told the kid, I had to get change and I'd bring the dollar to her! She kept fussing about getting ripped off. I wasn't going to rip anyone off, besides, she's freaking out over a dollar?? I wasn't going to get change for her now!! She saw how hot I was and tried to retreat, but I wouldn't let her. I got my mask back, her kid was crying and yelling at his mother. And we wonder why this world is messed up? Yes even woman can make my equal-opportunity Anderson Slam! OK, I can stop and breath now.
Summertime is very close, I hope everyone continues to pray for our country. We all so need to just fall on our knees before Jesus! If I can pray, preach, or even rent you a ring, hey, we even got a good pro wrestling school, please just let me know. God bless ......... - George March 2010 "Thou art the God that does wonders." Psalm 77: 14! What a great way to start off this letter, God is so good. He sent His only Son to die for this wrestler! I could not save myself but Jesus did! Remember when I went to tag my son several years ago in my Anderson Brothers Tag Team show? Well at the last minute, my son turned his back on me! Do you know that's what God did to his Son, for a brief moment? He had to, God knew His only Son had to pay our price! See, for a moment, Jesus was all man, he died! But meanwhile back at the ranch - they always said this in old western movies - the earth shook! The devil ran and Jesus woke up! Now what are you going to do with Him? What's up with all this snow? Summertime is coming folks! Summertime is for "Steamboat and Youngblood" and Journey on the 8-track player. It won't be long folks.
Oh yeah, speaking of baseball bats! - - Please keep my "Soto'' twins on your prayer list. Abagail is fixin' to turn heel on her sister Scarlet any day now. They both are playing softball this year, Scarlet for Central High School were she just got moved up to varsity! Well, Abigail "Ryan Leaf" South, who plays for "Sam's Pizza and Oil Change" ain't happy about that! The headlock ranch ain't to quiet these days. Big heat! My grandbaby Makayla got here last weekend, she got out of her mothers car, and said "I came to see you today!" That made my heart swell up! She will be 3 in a few months. Where has time gone? It was just yesterday she was sittin' on Ricky Steamboat's lap at the Mooresville Armory. I still have that brand new ring for sale, sorry outlaw wrestlers, it ain't mine! OK, grab a wrist lock and hold on, the Anderson Slam has arrived!
Here are two things first off that me and Ole hate: Did you know that Burger King has a "small" drink and a dollar drink? Yes, both! WHAT?? Now please tell me the difference! Except 85 Cents , which I went nuts over! I called about a bill I got in the mail that wasn't mine. After going through an hour switchboard, a voice comes on, yes a human being, her name was "honey" . . .WHAT?? How can you yell at a lady name "Honey?" OK I know that had nothing to do with wrestling, but this does. My student went to a show last weekend. Now this guy can do anything off the top rope. Of course, I am there to always remind him I would rather see a good headlock. So on this night, this stupid promoter walks up to him and says, "I hear you do a frog splash. Well you can't do it here because that's my move." WHAT???? Aaaiaiaieieieah! You goof! That's like saying, don't cut your grass that way, cause that's the way I do it." You idiot promoter, my guys will do any move they want! Matter of fact, if someone would help me up there, I just may climb to the top rope and do a frog splash!!! God Bless. Prayer Request, Ring Rentals, or just to talk. contact me. See you next month........ - George February 2010 I hope everyone has gotten over all the snow we had. My ''Sotos and El Rayo" may just love the snow more than anyone, the problem begins when they have to make up the days at school. That's kind of the way ''sin'' works, it sure looks good in the beginning, but then you have to pay up! I am sure glad Jesus has paid my sin ''balance in full"! Having to pack up my Cowboy jerseys is never fun, I saw a picture of Tony Romo at the pro bowl, laughing, having a great time. I thought, shouldn't he still be crying? I still am!! Pray for me as I do a rough job raising my twin girls! Imagine one 15 year old that likes boys, well guess what? There's another one! I am not to worried about Scarlet ''Dick Slater'', but Abigail may want to meet ''some young prince charming.'' I am going to fight it every step of the way! I picked up my grandbaby this week, at her day care this older lady their wanted to show me something, I thought it may have been some of Makayla's drawings, nope, it was a picture of Ricky Steamboat on her cell phone! I want to say how much Dr. Life Steve Williams meant to me, a month before he died we sat down in Knoxville Tenn. and just shared Jesus with each other. I took Paul Jones out to eat one night , I had gotten to his place early, when I walked in, Paul was talking on the phone, he said here, I took the phone and it was NWA champ Jack Brisco! We began a close friendship that night that lasted many years. Please pray for his family, Bobby Heenan, and just all our heroes! Little Ricky Steamboat touched base with me, he is doing great in Florida! Don't forget to pick up one of training school t-shirts! Click here for more info. Happy Birthday to my son Brock, Ric Flair and Ricky Steamboat this month. Keep praying folks, Jesus want be much longer.
Two things from the "are you people nuts?" section. A guy contacts me about my training school, I mean he calls me 20 times, finally I call him back, he says, " I cannot train now because of health issues." I said "well you can still come to the shows", this goof says, "well not this week, I am going snow skiing." WHAT???!!! So much for "health problems." I'm telling you, I wonder sometimes why I get up in the morning. We allow people to come and watch us train at my training center, please you goofs, when I am yelling at my students because they can't wrestle like Paul Jones and Jack Brisco, please don't ask me if I saw where ''Hurricane got arrested." Ring rentals, birthdays parties, or old fashion prayer. Write me! God Bless , see you next month!!!!! - George January 2010 Happy New Year! Can you believe a brand new year? A brand new decade! What a great time to know Jesus! Christmas may have passed but Jesus is still "king of kings!" I went Christmas shopping for my twins, had to take them with me because they were afraid I would get the wrong thing. Something just didn't feel right with them standing beside me and me buying their gifts! What happened to hiding stuff until Christmas morning? Teenagers!!
I wrestled Owen Hart in his very first match as the "Blue Blazer", he and I were so excited about wrestling each other that we forgot to have a good match. I mean, it just didn't work! Owen even did his finishing move and ended up sitting on my head! When we walked through the curtain, Vince McMahon said "Go Do It Again!" What?? There are 16,000 fans out their, what do you mean "Go do it again?!" Yes, me and Owen walked right back out their and did it again! This time we had a great match, not Paul Jones vs. Jack Brisco great, but Vince liked it! Folks, no matter what we all messed up on last year, go back and try it again! This is a brand new year, Jesus always leads ahead, never to the past. Give your hearts to Him this year. Oh yeah, even when your grandbaby throws down the $20 dollar doll she just got for Christmas and starts playing with a 1984 LJN King Kong Bundy action figure, its all going to be o.k.! Please pray for the family of Colt Steel who recently passed away. Colt and I were together in Kansas City back in 1986 and really had to take care of each other. Also Sandy Scott and Ole Anderson need our prayers! Good luck to Little Ricky as he has left for Tampa FL to continue his training. What a great kid. Also another student of mine, Jason Jones, may be going to Japan soon. Thanks to my good friend Harley Race! I am waiting to see who my Cowboys play in the playoffs. This weekend should make things a little clearer.
Great to hear from Brad Armstrong. His daughter is growing up so fast! My training school is doing very well, several of my new guys just wrestled in WV on their first ever TV tapings which was very exciting! Anyone wanting to have their wrestling dreams come true, please contact me! OK, my grandbaby is ''texting me'' to hurry. Before I give my Anderson Slam, I want to say, Jesus has saved me from Hell! I am going to heaven , I believe that. If you are not saved by His blood, you don't get into heaven! Last Monday night, all of my students were given tickets to see WWE raw! Without that ticket, they could not get in. Heaven is no different! You have to have the one ticket!
I know it is the very first of the new year - how could I already be upset? First I want to wish Ole a speedy recover because without him, I wouldn't be the nice, gentle person I am today! (Ole already doing much better!) The only thing "dumber" than a wrestler, is a wrestler with a wrestling ring! Really, what goof would bring a wrestling ring for FREE? Yes I said FREE!! Wrestlers are as dumb as a bag of rocks! I make my living through wrestling and renting out my ring. I have helped out many promoters, to have an idiot, I mean a real goof idiot try and under-cut me, or better yet bring one for free which has happened! To be asked if I mind is an insult! Before long, there will be no money in wrestling, I have lost count of all the goofs, remember, you promoters get what you pay for. I would not use these goofs for free to wrestle, much less their rings! And most important, I put my students up against anybody, they are there setting up and taking down my ring, somewhere in between my yelling, they have the best matches on the card. I bring them with me! Again, you goofs, leave my shows alone, go back to stealing other wrestlers gimmicks. FREE don't work unless it is the gift Jesus gives! Whew! That felt good! Ring RENTALS, not free ones, please call. God Bless till next month! - George
December 2009 HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS! MERRY CHRISTMAS! I almost could just end my letter with those few words, this is my favorite time of year! This small baby, came for one reason, to take our place on that cross! As we all get ready for food, presents and family, please don't forget that Jesus loves you very much. We can all put everything behind us and "start over." Not just the gifts, but open your hearts to that wonderful baby, who grew into the savior of the world! My twins, 'the Sotos", Abigail and Scarlet also have a birthday this month, double presents they say! I just got back from a big event in Georgia. I look over from my gimmick table, I am sitting with Bullet Bob Armstrong, the Original Assassin Jody Hamilton, and Masked Superstar Bill Eadie! Not a bad starting line up! Two of my favorite and the toughest ladies I know, Bambi and Peggy Lee were also there. Ricky Steamboat Jr. and I wrestled for a group in SC last night who treated us very good. I am so proud of that kid. He may be moving soon to continue his training. I always think it is funny, me and Ricky Morton are sitting there, he has bandannas all over his legs, I have a claw glove on, all these fans come up and ask me "are you wrestling tonight?" What planet are these people on? My Cowboys are doing so good, but we all know - - Romo and December go together like Ole Anderson and radio Interviews! Last week, I went to Meridian Mississippi, we drove all night, wrestled two shows and shared Jesus, then drove straight back home. Bobby Eaton and Doug Summers helped me there. My Mid-Atlantic Christmas show is this month, December 14 in Mocksville NC at the Armory. I hope to see everyone there! Going to be lots of fun. If I can pray for anyone, please let me know. If you haven't talked to Jesus in a while, He would love to hear from you! My Anderson Slam is next. Headed to Raleigh NC and then church in the morning!
Why do you goofy wrestlers chew gum in the ring? I mean really, I hate this. Everybody does it! Last weekend there was gum all over my canvas! From now on I am just going to make the promoters buy the canvas, so come to think of it, "Chew up, goofs!" Just because a wrestling group calls themselves "Christian" doesn't mean anything. If they, and you, have not accepted Jesus as your Savior, then you are not a Christian! WOW, 12 matches and 25 goofs equals one bad wrestling show. Just once, have all them dress in different rooms. My goodness, the show would be cancelled! I was third match, sitting at my table, a guy tells me during the first match, "You know you are third, right?" Listen, I can go right from the concession stand, sell gimmicks, and then get in the ring and be ready! Hey, being around Dick Murdoch taught be a lot! O.K., headed to the best hamburger place in the world. Now, if that goofy lady there doesn't put a lot of ice in my tea...... Ring rentals, birthday parties, bookings, call me! See you in 2010! Merry Christmas and God bless, -George November 2009 Happy Thanksgiving! Jesus is so good, we all have so much to be thankful for. When Jesus died, they took His body down, drug it to were the grave was, it was dark, raining, and the smell of death! No hope, only tears from who he loved! My Bible says there was a small garden growing in the middle of all this! WOW, I love that, folks, hang in there! Jesus is coming back soon! My Cowboys are looking so good now, I am wearing my Deion jersey today with pride! Ricky Steamboat Jr., or "little Ricky" as I call him, he emailed me from over-seas last week. He will be home in a few days and I can't wait. I can be contacted if anyone wants him for a show. Please keep Harley Race on your prayer list over the loss of his wife. My son Garrett's 10 year old '' Tigers '' won the boys club Championship last Saturday. I was so proud of him, they were winning 6 to 0! Thee were 2 minutes left, we had to punt. The other team had this kid receiving, who i swear was 19 years old (this is a 10 year old team keep in mind), fast as a jack rabbit! My son was called on to punt. WHAT??? In all my great coaching to him, I had forgot how to teach him to punt! Were was "Ray Guy" when I needed him? I can not tell you the pressure my son was under! Me, I was crying, yelling, praying and then Garrett nailed it! I think Jesus must have kicked it for him! Howard Cossell and John Madden were screaming, the ball sailed over the big kids head, we tackled him and won the championship! I fell to my knees and said "Thank You Jesus!" Yes Jesus is still Lord even if we had lost, but he sure makes it fun!
O.K. Now for my favorite part........ the Anderson Slam!
I am mad at everybody this month. (1) State Farm Insurance - - I am sure this place is run by outlaw wrestlers because they are nuts! I mailed a $250 payment, they call and say, they can't accept it but need full payment! OK, then send me back my check. Simple, right? Nothing I do is simple, I get my check back, it is for $247! WHAT??? Where is my other 3 dollars? I call and nobody can tell me! Listen, ya'll may see me on the news, me, Ole and Gene will get that 3 dollars! (2) The goof who sat through a three hour outlaw show, never said one word to me, never came to my table, then as I was taking down my ring, with 2 tons of plywood on my back, asks for my autograph! WHAT??? (3) Hulk Hogan is right, no wrestler understands wrestling, those stupid flips, 400 clotheslines, and lets not forget the famous kick to someone's back . . . with kickpads on! There is not 5 wrestlers in N.C. who should even get paid! Even my grandbaby can do a better headlock than some of these goofs. Four are from my school and the other is on his way from overseas! Yep, I am having a Anderson day!
Ring rentals, birthday parties, bookings, call me! See you next month !!!! God bless, -George
October 2009 Jesus is so good! What a great way to start off my new letter this month! I know it has rained for three days, my Cowboys lost last Sunday and Garrett won't listen to me when I yell at him during his football games, but Jesus is still King! I love him so much! Whatever you face this month, let him have it! We all got so much going on, throw some of it in the trash! Make room for Jesus to come in! I love to preach, some may say, "talk a lot", but I love telling others they don't have to go to Hell. There is another way! Hang on folks, this world is counting down, I think the birds know it, don't it seem they don't sing like they used to? Something has got to fix all this! Jesus won't be long. I love this cool weather, can you believe Santa is coming in three months? Please check out my new family pictures, I love my kids so much! Garrett scored a TD last week, can you believe they threw a flag cause he celebrated? WHAT???? I almost went to jail, how can you tell a 10 year old that has to listen to me yell at him, and then he does good and he can't celebrate? Ain't you glad we don't get flagged when we talk about Jesus? I saw Ron Killings, K Krush to me, this past week, what a great guy! I had a small hand in training him and knew he was special. Me, Ivan and Nikita shared Jesus this weekend, also got to see the Powers Of Pain and they never looked better. I have the best wrestling ring for rentals out there! Period!! Must be why all the wrestlers want to get in it before the shows! Man that burger was good at Gary's BBQ in China Grove. Before my Anderson Slam, I want to say something! This is my web site, which I am very proud of, I can say what i want! If you don't agree with it, stop reading it! That simple! Now hold on, Gene just tagged Ole.......
Listen wrestlers, you can not body slam a guy from a totally different side, meaning there is only one way! I saw a guy do this, I think he killed a guy! In Highpoint N.C. last Saturday night, there were two big piles of chewing gum left on my canvas, you wrestlers that chew gum in the ring are goofs! Period! From now on, I am going to tell you goofs you will be getting a bill for having to clean it! This is for the big awful goof with no gear who my trainee didn't want to get in the ring with: to say you are a 10 year veteran is like saying "the NWA is still alive." Oh yeah, before I go, I got to say this. For the guy that wrote me after seeing my video, telling me I wasn't a Christian because I used the word goof so much - Please tell me were you read that, Jesus came out of that grave for even guys like me, that cant stand what you goofs have done to wrestling! Let me know about youth rallies, ring rentals , prayer! See you next month!! God bless, -George
SEPTEMBER 2009 Happy Birthday to me!! And to Little George, too! What a great way to start off my new letter. I love Jesus so much today, He has given me the greatest birthday present ever, His blood that makes me white as snow! I am still here at the library checking my mail, this month is going to get busy.
I hope everyone has rested up from Fanfest.
What a great time I had, my picture with Paul Jones was my favorite. He
looks so good. My dream is to have him put me in the Indian Death Lock
before I die. Some folks
Garrett has started football for the boys club. His coaches give out a "tiger trunk" full of goodies to the player that works the hardest. He got it the first week, I was so proud of him. Man, them candy bars were good! (See photo of Garrett with the Tiger Trunk in my family photos section.) My twins the Sotos are now in high school! What the heck? Abigail has gotten her cast off and Jesus has begun healing her arm! It's finally football season. My Cowboys will be taking the field for real soon. Look out Smokey Bones!
• EWA Heavyweight Champion Ivan Koloff was a special guest for the wrestling event at Fanfest on Saturday night. He was sitting front row. Yes, I had something to say to him! Mr. #1 wants his title back.
• Terry Taylor called me last week to let me know that I am all over the new WWE DVD about the fall of WCW. Probably the Steiner Brothers beating the crap out of me. Now with my ego, I got to buy it! • I will be seeing Lord Littlebrook's sons this month, what great wrestlers they are. • Little Ricky Steamboat is back home, he has a tour coming up for Oct. but is taking bookings for Nov. and Dec. around home. Email me if anyone wants to book him. I am so proud of him and all my students. • The Gateway crew took Ole Anderson to Five Guys for burgers and fries at Fanfest! • We had over 500 fans for my church event in Summerville S.C., it was just fun. Plus, we told everyone about Jesus, over 500 tracts were given out. Baby Doll, Ragin' Bull and Barbarian did very good for me!
The EWA Crew with special guests Manny Fernandez, Babydoll, and the Barbarian
Well, its time for my my favorite part - the Anderson Slam! Once again may I remind everyone that this stuff is not made up. You couldn't make this stuff up. There are so many goofs around Charlotte. Why do they all have to be in the wrestling business? Everyone seems to be talking about the YouTube video of me that's out there right now. What you didn't see was the things going on before that video started, the things being said. Listen, I didn't go nuts to be the internet star of the week. I meant every word of that. You small group of miserable fans have killed wrestling! It wasn't WWE, it wasn't Dusty Rhodes buying jet airplanes, it was you goof fans like the ones that were there that night. Grown men were yelling how fake wrestling was, right in front of their kids who just wanted to believe. Anybody could do this crap, they said. I was the first match and before the bell even rung, this had started. What was sad, they all had kids with them, who just wanted to eat a hotdog and have fun! The stupidest guy was the one with a lap top on his knee, emailing results in to the internet! WHAT?? Yep, you fans like that are the ones that made Jim Crockett Promotions leave town! Oh, let me also include the stupidest referee in the world in this, too. I gave my student a tackle, covered him and waited for a count. Nothing happened, this stupid ref was just standing there. I yelled "count!" He said the guy's shoulders weren't down! WHAT??? I called all of them idiots to their face, that miserable Dad ruining their kid's night, the guy with a laptop on his knee in an armory, this goofball referee - all of them to their face. Unlike the coward who keeps signing my guest book under different names! Just sign your real name or say it to my face.
Oh, I could go on all day! Remember , I don't need your ten dollars that bad. Stay home! And lets see you idiots that night, smart mouth Dad, Mr. Laptop, goofball referee and any of the rest of you, let's see you at 47 take a hip toss, body slam, and still eat three hotdogs ! Yep, you want to know what killed wrestling, there they are. Email me for ring rentals, youth events and prayer! We all need it! God Bless. -George
AUGUST 2009 Well fans here it is time again - Fanfest has arrived! I can't wait, over 70 wrestlers in one place! Wait a minute - 70 wrestlers in one place? This can't be good! Seeing Paul Jones again is always my favorite part of Fanfest. I sure wish Wahoo could have seen all this. It is so great to just become a kid again, that is what this all about for me. I still get around Paul and ask him questions about some match that happened 30 years ago. He thinks I'm nuts! My Cowboys also begin in less than a month. I got my brand new Romo jersey ready! Garrett will also be playing his second year of football at the boys club. Coaches! I am ready if ya'll need me! Me and my guys did a show last week for over 150 kids here in Charlotte. We had pizza, gave away toys, and me and my students wrestled for them. "So what?" you may say. Well, a lot of these kids have nothing, they got to hear how much Jesus loved them!
There have been a lot of bad things written and said about me over the internet. When Fanfest is over, I will address all of it! What I don't understand, why don't someone call me if they have a problem with me? Why put it on the internet ,or better yet, send it to my guest book and not include your name? My comment now is this, especially since what has happened this July - - wrestlers are as dumb as a bag of rocks! Anything they touch, they screw up! Little Ricky Steamboat called before he left for Puerto Rico, that kid has been all over the world in only his second year. I spoke to Ronnie Garvin who was returning from a West Virginia hunting trip. I feel sorry for what ever he was hunting! Masked Superstar defended his Mid Atlantic Heritage title at Night of the Mask 2. What a class act that man is. My grandbaby is doing great, I thank Jesus for letting me spend time with her. She still doesn't like Paw Paw's wrestling boots! Jesus loves you today, no matter what you face, he is there! OK - - get the Mountain Dew ready, here we go ..........
If I hear one more guy say, "I am going to try out your ring" - I am going to throw up! What are you going to do if you don't like my ring, go home? Most of you don't know what you are doing anyway! Stay out of my ring! In two weeks, I saw one wrestler leave a show because he forgot his "make up", another guy was going to family dollar and buy some gloves because he forgot his, and the best one: a guy at my church show wanted to be called "the Pimp." WHAT??? He even argued with me about it. He said, "Well what am I going to do when I go to the ring, it is written on my ring jacket?" - - WHAT??? Don't wear your jacket, goof! Are all outlaw wrestlers that goofy? Let me smarten you guys up - - nobody cares! Got it? Your music don't matter, shaking my hand don't matter, what's written on your jacket don't matter. Has anyone been trained? Let me know about ring rentals, prayer or youth events! See you at Fanfest! God bless! -George
JULY 2009 Summer Time is Here, I hope everyone is keeping cool. Vacation Bible School has begun in all churches and I hope you parents are making sure the kids are there. I am still at the library putting this together, so everyone that writes me, hang on! I will get to all of you, except the people that ask , ''why I haven't updated my site?" I am hoping to get my computer fixed in next few weeks. It's amazing all the fruit loops and cheerios that I have found stuffed in my computer! Wonder were they came from? Speaking of Grandbaby Makayla, she will be 2 years old this month! Were does the time go? I also get to sign Garrett up for his second year of football this month. Is it really that time already? This may be a short letter this month, we leave tomorrow for a three day Texas trip! I am packing my bags and Makayla is unpacking! Doesn't it seem so many people have died these last few weeks? It is amazing how we all act over those from TV, but our service men face this every day! The Bible says "we all are going to die" doesn't matter how many life champers you sleep in, how many push ups you do. We all are going to die! Then what happens? I believe I go straight to heaven, because of the blood of Jesus! The other is Hell, yes a real place! I want all of you to know, I ain't perfect by no means, I mess up a lot. But the one thing I know, I love Jesus with all my heart, He died for my sins and came back to life! Jesus is not dead. He is coming back; are you ready? I hope everyone is getting ready for Fan Fest next month. I can't wait to see Paul Jones again, just to tell him what moves of his I have stolen! I spoke with Barry Windham and he is very excited about coming. Ricky Steamboat and Little Ricky are doing great, there is a tour coming up in Porto Rico that little Ricky may take! Harley Race called me last night at our Fair shows and yelled at me for not answering my phone. I saved that message; kind of neat!!
Now sit back, get a big glass of tea, because here it comes! The "Anderson Slam." Ain't it something how the fans sure ain't talking about the newest promotion that was going to change the world? That's a lot of money lost to just have everyone forget. Oh well, I guess we all can run into the guys that paid them for a "try out!" I am sure they will have something to say! And to the guy who booked my ring and guys for a show, and then cancelled two days before - - You are an idiot my friend! Can you imagine if I just didnt show up with the ring and the guys? For you wrestlers that call and want on my shows, NO! It don't work like that. Quit trying to impress me telling me who trained you. I don't care if Lou Thesz trained you, unless me and all my kids get something back, forget it. I know this is short, but Makayla is dragging my EWA belt out the door, got to go! Pray for me! Call for ring rentals, shows, youth rallies. God bless , see you next month ! -George JUNE 2009 Happy Summer! I know already, my letter is six days late, I have been doing fair shows and got behind. Let me start by wishing everyone a great and safe summer. My crew here at the headlock ranch are so excited that school is over. My grandbaby is now old enough to enjoy my swimming pool, with five kids, Makayla and Ole and Gene. Ain't going to be much water left! I messed up my computer again, and have to answer emails from the library, which I hate! Give me a few days, I promise I will get to everyone. One of my twins Abigail hit her first ''triple'' in softball last week! Next to taking Paul Jones football tackle, seeing Abigail hit that ball was the most exciting thing ever! Now if I could just figure out why no other parents will sit with me! Only two months before football season, my Cowboys new stadium is unbelievable! The great thing about T.O. leaving, I was able to get a beautiful Cowboy jersey of his very cheap! Little George still reminds me why his football jerseys as a kid were always players that had been traded! I hope everyone finds time to read their bible, we all get busy but we need it. Jesus waits for us everyday! He never turns away, come just as you are! I love him so much.
Now as T.O. said when he played for my Cowboys, get your popcorn ready! Here comes my Anderson Slam! Let me start off with 3 things that drive me nuts: 1. Parents who let their kids try and go through my gimmick boxes. Stay out you little varmints! 2. Goofs at the wrestling matches who ask, "Don't you remember me?" 3. Outlaw wrestlers who yell, ''Come on people! Get up!'' on their way to the ring. Whew, that felt good. Now I want to smarten you goofs up. Try Outs. WHAT? Are you all idiots? There is no such thing as a try out! I can't believe how many of you fall for this. Never in my 30 plus years in this business has anybody gotten a job through a try out! One group charged $40 so you could try-out? WHAT? Would you let a $40 doctor work on you? Heck, even a $ 40 dollar grass cutter ain't good enough. But oh my, I can "try out" and be a wrestler! You people go to a show to try out with already 15 matches and 50 wrestlers and you think you will get a job for $40? Listen, I don't know much, Ole Anderson has told me that many times, but what I know is training. My school is one of the best, we train, we wrestle three nights a week. Goofs, keep your money, what I want an answer to, please anybody answer this, ....when these promotions shut down, do they give back the try out money? Just asking! Call for ring rentals, shows, youth rallies. God bless , see you next month !
MAY 2009 I am so thankful to know Jesus as my Savior! I love Him so much, every time I see my grandbaby, my beautiful babies, I am reminded how great He is, and how low, dirty, and sinful I am! Remember having to wash behind our ears? I hated that, but you can wash those ears, even use ''Granny Clampett's Lye Soap" and still won't get clean enough for Jesus. Only one thing washes us white as snow. And it is FREE - the BLOOD of Jesus! Jesus died that I may live forever. How long is that you may ask? Well, being in the ring, hearing the Road Warriors music seems forever, I once wrestled Nelson Royal for 30 minutes for his NWA Jr. title, he beat me to death! That seemed like forever! I have been cleaned by Jesus' blood. Now I can walk right into heaven! Thank you Jesus! Just got back from a youth rally in Knoxville Tenn. How about this for a starting line up? Ted DiBiase, Tim Horner, myself, WWE Ted Jr., Honkey Tonk Man, Greg Valentine, and Koko B. Ware! Over 30 fans gave their hearts to Jesus. Can you fans believe Little Ricky Steamboat has been wrestling one year this month? It doesn't seem like time stands still. I am praying for Reid Flair, I love that kid. I wished you fans could see just me, Ric and Reid training. I know how much Ric loves his son. Jesus has plans for Reid, he is such a great kid!
Last week in Mooresville N.C. was such a great night, I did a show for my students, it wasn't that the crowd was huge, I had two of my favorite people there, Ricky Steamboat came with Little Ricky and my grandbaby Makayla was there. It was just one of those nights. When Makayla got there she came running to me, "PAW PAW" but I had not laced up my wrestling boots yet. Remember when Yosemite Sam in the cartoon had a horse that would stop and Sam would go flying? Well, she stopped dead in her tracks! She wouldn't come near me, she still cant figure them out! Listen, what is between you and Jesus ? I hope nothing. Hope everyone makes it to my 1st annual Boogie Man Jam, Jimmy Valiant comes back to Charlotte May 8th ! I hope everyone has seen my newest addition to my museum . . . "The Chair" from Park Center. Ricky Steamboat thought that was the coolest thing, having him, my grandbaby, Little George sitting on my ring trailer, talking wrestling. I got to get my computer fixed at home, here at the library, ain't this place supposed to be quiet?? My dogs Ole and Gene would hate this! In Winston Salem a few weeks back, the show had ran long, around midnight. I was packing up my table, fans were leaving, I was hungry, tired and ready to listen to my new Journey CD. This guy comes to my table, now I remind you I had been there since 4 PM, - he says, I got an idea, I am a preacher, I want to bring you to my church, have you be in a "drama." You can play Job, the guy who lost everything! WHAT??? Now, with it being so late, for a moment, the Anderson Slam came early! I said, I don't want to play Job, why cant I be someone without any pain an suffering? May never be invited there again.
Well, I cant wait anymore. My favorite part .....the Anderson Slam. You so called promoters are nuts. Now this Anderson Slam is dedicated to Wally Dusek and Klondike Bill and anyone else who has set up a ring. How can you pay a wrestler more money than the ring guy? Huh? Please somebody answer me this, I am so tired of you goofs acting like some wrestler is more important. The ring is the show, period! This goof from Virginia tells me he is bringing in Ring of Honor guys, but wants to get the ring for free. WHAT???? Let's see how Ring of Honorish you can be without a ring, goof! Matter of fact, take the ring from Snuka and Backlund, what you got? Nothing ! Now listen goofs, letters or what you call your promotion mean nothing, XWA, CWY, WWWA, XYZ - it means nothing! If one more goof calls and says I own XYZ promotion.... they are just letters you made up!! Anybody can just make up letters. Ask the World Wildlife Fund about letters! Now last thing, I have two beautiful twins going into high school, a grandbaby who may be afraid of me when my boots aren't laced up, ain't sure about my Cowboys yet. All this going on, and then I get a call about my name being brought up with the small promotion running shows out of a tin building in Charlotte. Listen, leave my name alone! Leave me out of it! I ain't said a word about nothing going on down there. I could care less! You goofs think people care, like the world is coming to an end if you don't run shows? Those same guys will be working somewhere else that Saturday. Those same fans will be at some other show that weekend. Hey, one good thing, some muffler shop is going to have one great building one of these days. People, the NWA is dead. How come nobody says anything about the 3 other NWAs we got around Charlotte? Anybody else want to be in the NWA? Send them a check, you're in! Heck, for only 300 dollars you can be part of my EWA ! Same thing! Let me know about prayer, ring rentals, training. See you next month. God bless ! -George
APRIL 2009 Jesus Got Up! Happy Easter, What a great way to start off my letter. The grave is empty, my bible says "He is not here! Jesus is alive!" You know what I love ? This world can take prayer out of school, it can even stop calling Christmas Christmas but, it can't do anything with "Easter". There was no body. Even today, go dig up all these false god's graves, Budda, Mohamad , any of them, there is bones and an awful smell. Which do you believe? I say Jesus is coming back. Oh yeah, has anyone noticed that all our money problems started around the time we were going to take God's name off of it? Maybe He is just taking back what is His! I have so much to write this month, Sotos and El Rayo and Blue Scorpion [Makayla ] will be home soon, so this will be quick. In just a few days , I will return to ''The Charlotte Park Center''. This is where as a young kid I saw Paul Jones for the first time, I spent so many Monday nights at this place! You may have your favorite ball park, coliseum or stadium. Can you imagine throwing a football at Texas stadium, hitting a baseball at Yankee stadium? Well, you understand how I feel. Jesus has given this to me, there hasn't been a wrestling event in that building in 20 years. Yes, Jesus does hear us! I was gone the last three days with Nature Boy Ric Flair to New York, we had three shows and Ric did training sessions! All I can say, Ric is ''First Class." Each night, he signed and met over 300 fans. I wanted to kill a few of them, you know, the ones who want to buy a 4X t-shirt for five dollars! What blessed my heart, during the training sessions, of over 100 guys, Ric, wanted two of my best students to help him. My reward, Ric ask me to hold his watch and WWE Hall of Fame ring while he worked out. Oh yea, not just any watch, it was the $15,000 dollar Wrestlemania Rolex that Shaun Michaels gave him . So here I am standing in my two dollar "Zubaz" sweat pants. Kind of a humbling moment! My favorite part of the weekend was when Ric offered 100 dollars to the guy who could take the highest backdrop. Every outlaw wrestler, concession stand worked, security officer, and goofball in general was in there trying to take a backdrop! I have never seen so many old men hurting in my life.
I spoke to old friends and great wrestlers Gene Ligon (the real Thunderfoot) and my old partner Gary Royal. Both are doing great. I also spent time with Bob Backlund and Honky Tonk Man. Bob Backlund may be the only person in the world more nuts than me. I also want everyone to pray for the Steve Doll family. Most did not know him but in WWF I had met him. He was a great guy. He passed away at 44 years old. Little Ricky Steamboat is home now from Japan, going to be wrestling in the Park Center, too, just like his Dad did all those years. O.K. before I bring on my Anderson Slam , I want to introduce my "Mr. Wrestling II Knee lift" segment. Now this will just be for the very few GOOD things that happen. I rented my ring to a guy almost three years ago, the house was real bad, he could not pay me. All this time went by, nothing. I even saw this promoter at some shows, he would not speak. Finally, last month, I get an email. This guy wanted to make things right. He said how sorry he was, mailed me my money and it is forgotten. Jimmy, you are the first "Knee Lift" story!
Now for my favorite part. When did these goof wrestlers start chewing gum in their matches? I hate this. Most of the time it ends up on my canvas. Oh I wish one of these guys could be in the ring chewing their gum with Gene Anderson or Blackjack Mulligan. Last week, this goof walks up to me, a grown man, he had this small scratch on his forehead. He looks right in my face . . . and I am not making this up . . . brace yourself . . . he says "We both got a lot of battle scars." WHAT???? I told him after I had been stuck in the head with the original Sheiks pencil, that's going to impress me? Get away from me! Where do these goofballs come from? Listen, you wrestling fans, there is only one real Anderson that wrestles and that's Brad! Brad Anderson! I can't believe how many people think there is this bucket of Anderson Brothers sitting around. Last thing, I have been gone for three days, I get home, haven't slept. My first e-mail is from a goof telling me, he doesn't believe I am a real Christian because he heard me "cuss". WHAT???? Listen, unless you have been watching my Cowboy games with me (and I am sure you are not) you my friend may be biggest idiot of them all. I have let a few cuss words fly in my day, but see, Jesus ain't finished with me yet! He fixes broken things! I am going to heaven, it has been paid for already! Let me know about prayer, ring rentals, training. See you next month. God bless ! -George MARCH 2009 Were did last month go? Most of you that read this will think I have been hit in the head a few too many times, but as I write this, we have about six inches of snow here on the Headlock Ranch! What I love about snow is, everything is so '' fresh'', so clean, new almost, ever notice how snow seems to just cover up all the '' dirt'' ? Well, that's what the '' blood '' of Jesus has done! His blood has covered me, cleaned me, even signed my ticket to heaven. The Sotos and El Rayo, plus Ole and Gene (these dogs that ain't mine really and don't like me!) have all their stuff laid out for tomorrow! They are so excited, gloves, boots and hats are everywhere. That's how I feel about Heaven. I cant wait to see the face of Jesus! Last week I went to this little place above the house for a late supper, I always try to get there right before closing, because any earlier and some goof always wants to tell me how he was a masked Bolo or Mr. Wrestling! Well this night, I notice two woman, one was sitting and other was moving her hands, talking very loud! (Almost like me, come to think about it.) But waiting on my food, I heard the one lady standing say she could, "know the furture" and pray with this lady and her cancer would be gone! I thought ''oh boy'', and people think I am nuts! Well what happened next, the future teller lady reach for her drink, and said "I guess all this telling of the future makes one thirsty, but she grabbed the other ladies drink, I mean one of them big ''Gulp '' drinks. The lady sitting, yelled, hey, that's mine! I laughed my backdropping tale off, you mean this lady could tell what is going to happen tomorrow, but cant figure out which drink was hers! My point is this, everyone is looking for a ''quick fix'' , anything to take care of any pain or hurt they have. Jesus is the only answer. It may be that pain won't go away here, but I promise, one day it will. Just as sure as I knew as a kid that Johnny Valentine wasn't losing his silver dollars, I know Hope is coming very soon! Remember, you are either for Jesus, or against him! I spoke to Brad Anderson this week, we are going to start training some together! I don't think fans really know all Brad has done in wrestling. I will never forget that night a few years ago in the dressing room, a news reporter was interviewing some guy you all know who calls himself an Anderson about the Anderson Brothers. WHAT???? The only problem was the true Anderson, Brad was also sitting right there! ASK HIM!! Don't worry, me and my big mouth fixed it. I nearly ran that goof reporter out of the dressing room.
OK because it is getting late, and I am running out of Mountain Dews because Vicki is falling down on the job, here comes my favorite part - The Anderson Slam! As you folks know, I do not make these things up. Heck, you couldn't make them up! Three main things this month. First, one guy asks how I could talk about Jesus at the beginning of my letter, and end it by calling everyone a goof. Simple. Because there are goofs in this world. Listen, if Jesus had met some of you people, he sure would have known when they try and sneak in my back door at my shows! Second, I don't expect all of you to like me, that's your choice, but don't get on my guest book, saying all this bad stuff, and then be dumb enough to leave your name! SCOTTY BROOKS! You may be the biggest goof I have ever met - period. And that is is saying a lot. It's one think to be an idiot, but an idiot that can't work is real bad! Now, third and last. Let's say, you cut grass for a living, maybe have about thirty years of grass cutting experience behind you. You have your yards set, maybe even booked for six months. You load up your mowers, get ready to go to work, and two days before, you get a call, they have found some one else, a guy is going to cut the grass for almost nothing. Oh yea, you can come and watch this new guy cut if you want to! WHAT??? This is what a fellow tried on me, and I say tried to happen, my ring rentals feed all these babies I got, you idiots think I am going to just let you under bid me like that? I will shut down the whole town. I am sure this goof knows who he is, sitting there in his drawers eating cheese puffs, looking on the computer to see where I have shows booked and then trying to undercut me. Not going to happen. I showed up got my money, and this goof, you know who you are, were too scared to show up. Leave my shows alone! Find your own! Man I feel better now. Pray for me folks, I will do the same. Email me if I can do anything. God Bless , see you next month! -George
FEBRUARY 2009
Jesus is the greatest thing that has ever
happened to me! I cannot think of a better way to start off my new
letter. I am going to heaven when I die, period! It ain't even because
of how good looking I am, how nice I am to the fans, or even because I
love the Dallas Cowboys . It is because of the blood of Jesus! That's
it! I have confessed my sins, been forgiven and am ready for the
greatest comeback this world has ever seen! Do you know that if you read
the bible, this world is acting just as the days of Noah's flood? Can
anybody tell me what is considered a ''sin'' now? Really, what does this
world say is wrong? Even if you want to go to Hell, you have to climb
over
I recently showed Jerry Lawler a 25 year old picture of me and him, back in the hallway at Techwood drive in Atlanta. It was so cool, can you believe it was his idea to take one just like it? I was getting ready to ask him, and he suggested it! We thought we were through, but then he takes Dick Bourne's camera and says "Let me look at these and make sure we got it right." Makes him flip through the pictures on his camera screen three times before he says "That's the best one, use that." That was a cool little moment. These two dogs ''Ole and Gene'' are sitting here looking at me. They just growl at me. I ain't getting up from here to feed them! Remember how Sylvester the cat used to look at Tweety bird ? Well I hope them dogs don't think this is a 230 pound turkey with a Paul Jones Gateway t shirt and claw glove on!
Now time for my Anderson Slam. Or should I say Anderson Slams . I got so many slams this month, it's going to take Gene, Ole, Brad, Bryant, Lars, and even Edie Anderson to handle them all! Being around wrestling rings all my life, sometimes there are problems getting the ropes really tight. Doesn't happen often. Two weeks ago I go into the dressing room five minutes before bell time, I tell all the guys, just be careful, nobody on the top rope. The ropes may be a little lose, but who needs them anyway? My students can have their best matches without them. The show starts, and guess what? This 350 pound guy looking like Kamala's baby, climbs to the top rope! Can you believe what is next? Missed moonsault, big surprise! Folks, I can always fix my ring, I was worried about Kamala! This guy almost killed himself! I can't make this stuff up! When I was about 11 years old, going in the Piedmont News Stand to get my wrestling magazines, their was this grouchy old man, (sounds like Ole Anderson, right? wasn't him) that would yell at me for just looking at magazines all day, but not buying anything. "You ain't looking and and not buying!" I used to think he was so mean until I got in the wrestling business. Listen, you goofs, you cant pick up my books on my gimmick table, read them, and then put it back down! And then telling me you will come back later don't get it either. Please. Maybe I will get one of them big third grader rulers Mrs. Hoke used to hit me on the wrist with. Of course, if I do that, I may hurt one of these goofs trying to give me the wrestler handshake. Last Saturday in Seagrove, this guy tries to shake my hand with two fingers. I grabbed and squeezed as hard as I could. This goof leans over my table, closer than me and my wife have ever been, whispers in my ear and says, "Don't worry, I'm a wrestler." WHAT????? I stood up in my chair and yelled, everybody in this stinking building thinks he is a wrestler!
Now for last one before my head explodes. Just to show you anyone and everyone can make my Anderson Slam: after setting up my ring in Seagrove, I had arranged this wonderful pizza place through Tim Blaze to feed my guys. Tim was nice to do it for me, and I was trying to be nice to my guys. Well, I stayed back at the building with my ring, making my now famous ''stay out of my ring" signs. I told my guys to just bring me back something. Well after being gone for over two hours, they bring back the smallest pizza box you have ever seen, about the size of a small paper plate. This pizza looked like an English muffin. Now, besides Jesus, Mt. Dew and my babies, I love pizza. Especially free pizza! I was so mad, and I still am! They fed their big bellies off of my hook and then brought me a biscuit size pizza with a little cheese on it! I may never get over this. I promise I will never send them again! Listen George South's guys, I come first. Period. Thirty Years in wrestling says I do! WHEW, I sure feel a lot better now. Remember - Feb. 14th is Valentine's Day. That don't mean go out and by roses and candy and dinner for your sweetheart, it means stay in and watch old tapes of Johnny and Greg Valentine matches. I need lots of prayer after that Anderson slam. If you need prayer, ring rentals, youth events, let me know. God Bless, see You Next Month, so long for now. -George
JANUARY 2009 Happy New Year! Thank You Jesus for letting us have a new start, a new year to begin again! Folks it doesn't matter what you done last year, it is gone, confess your sins and start all over. Jesus says, ''your past is now wiped clean, my blood made sure!" The EWA ring is GONE, thank all forty plus that called about it. I had two great guys from Texas come and pick it up. It now will be used in a training center there in Texas. Who knows, maybe that one ring can bring back all that Von Erich Glory! To say my Cowboys got beat would be ''saying it nicely'', I still haven't gotten over it! Their has been a black flag hanging low over headlock ranch this week! But, one good thing, I have already found me three new Cowboy jerseys half price! I am really going to try and get closer to Jesus this year than I have ever. It starts with my bible reading, I was going to Hell '', a real place, not what we see in the movies, but a real place, were people are burning, no laughing, no talking, just crying! Jesus pulled me from that! Anyone that has ever made a road trip with me knows, the only music CD I have is '' Best of Journey '' , well for Christmas, my babies got me this new Journey 3 disc set, only with a new singer, and about 10 new songs plus my old favorites redone. WHAT??? No Steve Perry??? What has the world come to? Well, for three days , I couldn't put it in, I mean, all those road trips, me signing backup to Steve Perry. But ain't it funny what two beautiful twin girls can make their daddy do? Yes, I listened , and it was GREAT, I mean this new lead singer is good. Maybe, a little change ain't so bad! Cant believe I said that! We are putting shows together already for this coming year, this weekend I will be saying good bye to Little Ricky Steamboat who will be moving to Japan for the next year. To say I am going to miss this kid, will not be fair. He is one of very few! He has worked his tail off, has done everything I have asked, if anyone, ever says ''he got here because of his name" I am coming to your house and bringing Ole and Gene with me! It is so exciting to see what the Lord has planned for him.
Blackjack is doing great, he had a great Christmas. Also Susan Green, who is my all time favorite woman wrestler, called, after having a knee replaced, is getting back into training some. Brad Armstrong had Christmas with all the family, his Dad all the Armstrong brothers. I tell you folks again, any Armstrong, Bullet and Grandma included, can out work anybody. PERIOD! The Masked Superstar Bill Eadie will be returning to the EWA soon. Now for my favorite part of my letter. You can say, it's the first of the year, surely there is no Anderson Slam yet! Wrong! Here we go! Are you guys nuts? In three days, six guys have called me, they have all paid up to $800 dollars to some one else to train them. Then to only find out, it was the wrong thing to do. Now, they are out of money, no place to train, no shows to work. SO they have this great idea, let's call George! WHAT?? I mean, he has been around 30 years, runs three shows a week, trains with Ric Flair and Ricky Steamboat and Bobby Eaton, and he will train us for free! I guess my crew here at the headlock ranch ain't got to eat! You goofs!! What I really can't understand, you give your money to people that nobody has never heard of, they have not done one thing in wrestling! At least give it to some old timer, if nothing else, just to hang out with them! If you need prayer, ring rentals, youth events, let me know.

What
will I do? There has never been a time in my life that the Blackjack
truck hasn't had to make a pick up' at a elementary school. Next year he
will be in middle school and wants to ride the bus! WHAT?? I sure hope
the seat can hold both of us. 
Well,
I notice I was charged $4.00 extra for "disposal fees". WHAT???? In my
best Ole Anderson voice, I asked that lady why??? Yep, I paid $4.00
extra for when I throw away the brand new "Black and Decker" fridge! Oh
don't laugh, you have to pay it also on every appliance in N.C.! The end
is coming soon!!
Happy
Easter! What a wonderful time, Jesus is so alive, this is the most
exciting time if you are saved. The grave could not hold Him. I am
betting everything I know on this fact! There is not one other so called
god that can claim this. Their graves all have a dead body in them. Hang
on folks, we have not seen nothing yet! 
What
a great time it was seeing all the Armstrong family in Atlanta.
Every Armstrong should have a job in wrestling. One more match Brad,
just one more match . . . 
Thanks
to my friend Barry on Christmas night: you folks don't think there is a
Santa Claus? I was sitting in the armory in Kings Mountain NC - not
quite Charlotte Coliseum on Christmas night, but still wrestling on
Christmas night! - anyway, every food place was closed on Christmas,
nothing open, I was so hungry. Barry walks in, who I haven't seen in a
while, brings me two ham sandwiches with, get this, R.O.s BBQ slaw on
them! Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. Thank you Barry!
You are well known as former EWA commissioner and Mid-Atlantic Gateway
enforcer, but this Christmas night you were Santa Claus. 
want to travel, some want to jump out of a
airplane, mine is to have Paul put me in the Indian Death Lock! I
got to talk to Black Bart, Dusty Rhodes, and Chic Donavan who I haven't
seen in years. What was funny at Fanfest was everyone thought I was
putting the matches together for the shows. I bet I had over 100 people
ask me, who was wrestling who, and even had some referee call my house,
and ask if I could use him! WHAT?? Listen, if I was booking the matches,
the main event both nights would have been me and Paul Jones vs. Ole and
Brad Anderson! 
My
student Jake Manning got a dark match with WWE last week and did very
good! I say this again, I put my students up against anyone, period!
Brad Anderson and Mr. Florida stopped by training this week. We also had
three guys quit! 
I
have to hang these signs on each side of my ring before shows. All these
"wrestlers" want to climb in early and rehearse. You think Gene Anderson
and Wahoo McDaniel got in the ring early to rehearse!? Please! Boogie
loved it, asked me if he could take one back to his school and hang it
on the wall. 
My new training center t-shirts are in now,
please take a look.
