He helped make Jake Roberts a solid regional star and gave Tommy Rich a real foundation as a babyface (which included a run as NWA Champion for four days). Anderson followed the paths of others like Eddie Graham, Rhodes, and Bill Watts – playing to the strengths of the rosters he had.

As a wrestler and a tag team specialist, he was also a mega heel back in the day as a member of the Minnesota Wrecking Crew. He and Gene Anderson were brawling-type wrestlers who beat their opponents into submission. Anderson’s work paved the way for the Four Horsemen.
