On May 24, 1976, an angry fan at ringside in the Greenville Memorial Auditorium stabbed wrestler Ole Anderson as he left the ring. Wrestlers like Ole Anderson were adept at raising the ire of wrestling fans, but Ole Anderson had turned it into an art form. Rarely, however, did that type of heat result in an actual assault by one of those fans. The incident illustrated how quickly things can get out of hand in the heat of a pro-wrestling event.

Ole and partner Gene Anderson were on their way back to their dressing room following an unsuccessful attempt to regain the NWA world tag team titles from Tim Woods and Dino Bravo, when Oscar Ramsey (reported to be either 79 or 82 years old in various news reports), a regular at the Greenville matches, stabbed Ole in the chest and arm with a hawkbill knife.

Anderson was taken to a local hospital and underwent a reported four hour surgery to repair tendons in his arm that were severed in the attack. Dozens of stitches were required to close wounds on his chest and arm.

The stabbing made news reports across the southeast, and was the talk within wrestling circles for years. It's still talked about by hardcore Mid-Atlantic Wrestling fans today.

The injury and aftermath also showed what a tough guy Ole Anderson really was. By all accounts, he was lucky to come out of it alive. Yet, in less than 48 hours, he was back on the job, appearing at the TV tapings at WRAL in Raleigh. When Mid-Atlantic Wrestling opened and Ole Anderson addressed the fans, Bob Caudle remarked "Nothing is going to slow Ole down." He was right. And the whole incident has become part of the Anderson legend.

Lots of details below, including audio clips, newspaper reports, and details on the week that followed.
