Gene, Old, and Arn Anderson...

In 1983 or 1984 did Gene, Ole, and Arn Anderson ever team up in a six man tag team match?

In 1983, Arn was enhancement talent in Georgia (got beat up by the Road Warriors in a tag team match) and Ole was turning from heel to face. Gene was in MACW in singles and tag team competition. I do recall Jerry Stubbs. I did not know that he and Arn were a tag team.

arn was using arn anderson as his name at the time. they were coming in to georgia to fight gene and ole.
that is the only time i know of gene and arn together. and i'm not really sure if it ever happened.

Arn Anderson and Jerry Stubbs were my favorite tag team ever in Southeastern Wrestling. They were incredible. Held the tag titles there. You could tell Arn had star potential all over him, and Stubbs was the consummate pro. He was Mr. Olympia in Southeastern Wrestling (Alabama) and also wrestled as Jerry Stubbs without the mask. Stubbs was a great babyface, too.

Ole gave Marty Lunde the name Arn Anderson in Georgia in the early 80s and Arn kept the name when he went to work other territories. He was one of the hottest heels in Southeastern Wrestling when he was befriended by Ric Flair, who talked him into coming to work for Crockett Promotions in early 1985.

I remember Arn wearing a Starrcade 84 t-shirt for a couple of weeks of Southeastern TV and wondered if he might be headed to the Mid-Atlantic area. Sure enough, about three weeks later, he left for the Carolinas and the rest is history.
