During the world tag team title match between Ole and Arn Anderson and the Steiners at wrestlewar '90 both Jim Ross and Terry Funk referred to the Andersons as "brothers". I always thought they were referred to as either cousins or nephew and uncle. Jim Ross has had a bad habit throughout his career for revising history to suit his or his promoters own needs. As exciting as he made matches, Ross always has been a lying, history changing, sack of poo poo. If he was a liberal, bleeding heart, entitlement type, he would be crying to rewrite history books to leave out stuff like slavery, murders, etc. in order to sanitize it. Pathetic.

OK, I like Jim Ross' commentary style. At least, I used to, especially in the UWF in 1985-86. That said, they always seemed to mangle the "relationship" between Ole and Arn. I've always considered it to be cousins. But it would seem to make sense to be uncle and nephew considering the age gap.

When Arn Anderson was first introduced, during the whole Ole Anderson----Thunderbolt Patterson angle, he was said to be Ole's nephew. I think Ole mentioned it as well as the announcers. Later they became cousins. (I think that was probably because they were trying to close the gap on the age difference).

I always understood that they were brothers - I'm sure there were numerous references to this. They were brothers and Flair was their cousin.
I think Ross is the epitome of the company man. He'll sell anything the promoter is hawking, which has both hurt his credibility but also occasionally made some really bad wrestling seem better that it is.
The only time he ever really rubbed me wrong were some of the Iraq war comments at WM X-9, like the whole world is as fake as the wrestling vacuum he's been living in for the last 30+ years
