For years, Bill Anderson was a key part of pro wrestling in the Southwestern United States. After a successful career in the ring including being accused of taking the “marijuana  pills” by Tennessee promoter Nick Gulas, Anderson settled in on the Southwest partnering with legendary wrestler Red Bastien to train wrestlers. Some of the wrestlers who were trained by Anderson include Sting, Ultimate Warrior, Rod Price, Angel of Death, Louie Spicolli, and more. Anderson would also work LA area WWF events and scored a win over “Mr. Wonderful” Paul Orndorff amongst others.  He’d also often serve as the local area ring announcer. Anderson did tours of Japan with the hardcore FMW group in the early 1990’s and continued training talent in Southern California for years to come.
