I'm a little sad that it doesn't look as though Ole will be going in with the horseman, but if he was it would probably be at the expense of Barry Windham, which would be equally sad.

Yeah I noticed that too. Shame as he was part of the "original" Horsemen, but Barry Windham was a really big part of their success too, and given his stint with the WWF/WWE, makes sense to include him in that picture. Actually all of them that were in this group were in the WWF/WWE at some point, Ole wasn't. I'm not sure if that matters, but it must've played a part in the selection process?!

Ole could have turned them down, that is always a possibility. Same reason Bruno isn't in the hall yet

In the controversial biography of Vince McMahon, Sex, Lies, and Headlocks, Ole Anderson is described as the owner of the Georgia Championship Wrestling promotion that was a huge key to the WWF's early expansion and the landing of a prime time cable television spot. The bid was basically a hostile takeover in which Ole's other partners, Jack and Jerry Brisco, stabbed him in the back and sold their shares to Vince. Granted the book was written by Mike Mooneyham, who is one of those wrestling "journalists," but he does make it seem like there was some legit bad tension that never got resolved.. and probably still exists to this day.

I wouldn't be surprise. Ole is the kind to hold a grudge although it might be deserved in this case.

Ole was never a majority owner, he had a small stake in the company. GCW was losing money, Vince made a lucrative bid and the deal was made by the majority because it made perfect sense. There was no backstabbing involved beyond other parties acting in their own fiduciary interests. Jerry Brisco parlayed the deal into a lucrative stay in the organization, Ole would probably be better off right now had he done the same.
