Martin Anthony Lunde (born September 20, 1958), better known by the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_name Arn Anderson, is an American https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_wrestling https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_professional_wrestling_terms#Agent, author, and retired professional wrestler. He is currently signed to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Elite_Wrestling (AEW) as manager of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wardlow_(wrestler). Although he is widely regarded as one of the greatest tag team wrestlers in history, he also had a successful singles career and became a four-time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WCW_World_Television_Championship, which he often called his "world title". Anderson's career was highlighted by his alliances with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ric_Flair and various members of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_professional_wrestling_terms#Stable https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Horsemen_(professional_wrestling) in the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Wrestling_Alliance (NWA) and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Championship_Wrestling (WCW). After his retirement, he worked as a producer for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE until 2019, when he joined AEW. On March 31, 2012, Anderson was inducted into the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE_Hall_of_Fame as a member of the Four Horsemen.
Lunde began his career on January 2, 1982 in Georgia Championship Wrestling going by the ring name Jim Vertaroso, having been trained by Ted Lipscomb (Allen). He spent much of the year wrestling in various independent wrestling companies across the United States, including a minor run in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Wrestling_Federation_(Bill_Watts) for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Watts from 1982 to 1983. By the middle of 1983, he made his way to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_Championship_Wrestling, an https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Wrestling_Alliance affiliated promotion operating out of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennessee and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alabama. Taking the name of "Super Olympia", Lunde soon became a member of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Fuller_(wrestler)'s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stud_Stable before the year was out. Lunde saw success in the tag team ranks by winning the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CWF_Tag_Team_Championship three times with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Stubbs and once with Pat Rose throughout 1984. It was also here in this promotion that Lunde met and began what would become a lifelong friendship with Ric Flair. By the end of the year, however, Lunde left the company and joined Mid South Wrestling based out of Shreveport. Lunde's time in Mid South was coming to an end, and during a TV taping the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junkyard_Dog mentioned to Bill Watts, the owner of Mid South Wrestling, that Lunde looked like an Anderson. Watts called Jim Crockett and convinced him to book Lunde. Lunde made his way to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Crockett,_Jr.'s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-Atlantic_Championship_Wrestling, based in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Virginias and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Carolinas. By this time, the company extended its range into https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_(U.S._state) after rival promoter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vince_McMahon purchased https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_Championship_Wrestling. There was a strong physical resemblance between Lunde and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ole_Anderson, who had achieved legendary status in the Georgia and Mid-Atlantic territories as a tag team wrestler. Ole noticed that Lunde's style was a no nonsense approach in the ring and specialized in working over a part of an opponent's body throughout the match, much like Ole himself. Anderson agreed to work with Lunde, helping to hone his capabilities, and re-formed the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minnesota_Wrecking_Crew with...
