The Wrestling Stoop returns as Bob Roop discusses the business practices of Ole Anderson and Jim Barnett in Georgia Championship Wrestling. 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, and so much more! 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, and more!
