Letter from Brad Anderson

 

 

 

The first Anderson Brothers Classic tag team tournament was held at the historic Shelby Recreation Center, the site of hundreds of Jim Crockett Promotions events and television tapings in the 1970s and 1980s.

Members of the great Anderson wrestling family were involved including Ole Anderson, Brad Anderson (who participated in the tournament, and is the son of the late Gene Anderson) and Edie Anderson (the wife of the late Gene Anderson.) Other members of the Anderson family were in attendance that night as well.

The tournament featured such notable names in wrestling history as the original Masked Superstar Bill Eadie, father and son combination Bob and Brad Armstrong, and one half of the Rock & Roll Express Ricky Morton.  Making the night extra special was the presence of the voice of Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling Bob Caudle.
