Ole & Gene Anderson and Abe Jacobs. Look at how young Ole looks in this picture. I’ve heard from multiple sources that Gene Anderson was one tough old buzzard.

And, at the time, he was over 40 and they were in their prime!
As mentioned in the video below, Gene Anderson was also a legit shooter and sadistic bastard as many pro wrestlers were at the time.
