Information so fun and detailed that we wanted to share it with the territory era fans, as we sift through Ole Anderson's book "Inside Out: How Corporate America Destroyed Professional Wrestling". Bob Roop discusses the business practices of Ole Anderson and Jim Barnett in Georgia Championship Wrestling in the early 1980s. We go deep behind the scenes as first, we discuss Ole's expansion into Ohio, Michigan, and West Virginia. How it all came about, dealing with the Sheik & Vince McMahon Sr., the power of cable TV, making syndicated TV deals, the cities & average revenue! Then, we dive into Ole's thoughts on promoter Jim Barnett, accusations on Barnett skimming money off the top across all the cities, crooked State Athletic Commissions, Fire Marshals. From there we talk the many issues between Ole Anderson and Jim Barnett. Ole's accusations of Jim Barnett stealing money from the Georgia territory, Anderson removing Barnett of his financial "duties", and how the slow takeover of Vince McMahon begins! Finally, we discuss the Vince McMahon buyout of Georgia Championship Wrestling, the wrath of Jim Barnett, Ole Anderson's response, the Brisco "Blood Oath", the end of an era at WTBS, Black Saturday, & more!FOR MORE 70s & 80s WRESTLING HISTORY DISCUSSED WITH BOB ROOP, PLEASE TUNE INTO "THE WRESTLING STOOP" PODCAST, new episodes drop Thursdays at midnight (est).Ole's book is available on Amazon, and through Scott Teal at Crowbar Press at https://www.crowbarpress.com/cbp-books/01-oa.htmlPlease Subscribe to our Patreon to help pay the bills, https://www.patreon.com/wrestlecopiaIncludes the $5 “All Access” Tier & $9 "VIP Superfan" Tier featuring our VIDEO CASTS, Patreon Watch-Along Series, our insanely detailed show notes (for the Grenade, Monday Warfare, Regional Rasslin, Puro Academy, & Retro Re-View), Early Show Releases!
