“Hollywood” Bobby Olsen

HBO: Doing well, Huskie. Thanks for having me!

Huskie: How long have you been in the wrestling business?

HBO: I started training in late 1998, Chuck West just about killed me with running the ropes and taking bumps, after a few years of trying I realized a 23 year old manager was a hard sell, so I left the business until 2006 when Jerry Andrews asked me to come back and work with him and Tommy Foreman.

Huskie: What made you want to get into the wrestling business?

HBO: As a kid of the 80′s I was in awe of wrestling and I knew I wanted to be a part of it.  The more I watched the more fascinated I became with managers Blassie, Heenan, Hart (Gary and Jimmy), Dillon, and Ellering…I knew I could do that! I loved the way the crowd hated these guys and since I was never athletic that’d be my way in…I always wanted to manage.

Huskie: Who are your influences in wrestling?

HBO: Most definitely Blassie, Cornette and Heenan the guys that could make you hate them and still laugh at the same time. Obviously on a local level Brock Guffman has always helped me out by answering questions and giving pointers and advice.

Huskie: What is your favorite match of all time?

HBO: Strictly from a fan point of view (because it wasn’t a masterpiece) Hogan and Savage vs. Andre and Dibiase at Summer Slam 88…As far as quality match its gotta be Savage and Steamboat.

As far as matches I’ve had or been in; Myself, Andrews, McCormick, and Murray vs. Dave Crist, G-Force, Dane Abercrombie and Fabio. That was a great time.

Huskie: What is your favorite match of your clients?

HBO: Jerry Andrews vs. Jake Crist at HWA was a great match…also I’d managed Simon Dean in a match with Kharn Alexander that was good stuff too, but mainly because I thought the crowd was going to lynch myself and Dean.

Huskie: You mentioned Simon Dean. Have you managed any other former or current WWE/WCW/TNA stars?

HBO: I’ve had the opportunity to work with Eugene, The Pope (Elijah Burke) and of course Simon Dean and took a beating from Koko B. Ware if that counts.

Huskie: What was it like working with those guys?

HBO & Jerry Andrews make their way to the ring.

Huskie: Who are some of your favorite and least favorite people to work with?

HBO: Obviously Jerry Andrews, but I’ve been out on the road with him for the better part of seven years now… The Crist Brothers, Bigga Black, Tom McClain, Chris Hall, Dustin Rayz, Dre Jacobs, Remi Wilkins and Trevor Court there’s so many quality people I have enjoyed working with. On the flip side, instead of burying people, I’ll just say anyone who won’t sell for a manager or the guys that never left their one promotion walking around thinking they’re hometown legends.

Huskie: Who is your dream client?

HBO: That’s s a good question…locally it’d have to be Dustin Rayz, the guy is a good friend of mine but I think Rayz and HBO would be a helluva combo…and then there’s a little fat mark inside me that’s yelling Randy Savage (laughs).

Huskie: What is the craziest match you have seen?

HBO: There was a cage match at the Sorg a few years back between Dez and T-Dogg vs. Dreez and Kanabis. I’ve legit never seen so much blood in one match. It looked like a Friday night at Camp Crystal Lake.

Huskie: What is the funniest thing you have seen happen during a match?

HBO: I worked a benefit show at Hara Arena in ’99 and this guy’s pleather pants ripped out and there he stood with his manhood swinging in the breeze. I was doing color commentary at the time and totally lost it I had to bury my face in the desk I was laughing so hard while poor Dave Diamond had to take over calling the match.

Huskie: What motivates you to go out and perform in front of a crowd?

HBO: Addiction, I’m totally addicted to it…the ring, the crowd, the heat, the adrenaline the business in general…I’m like a junkie trying to get a fix…I want whatever match I’m involved with to be the highlight of the night.

Huskie: How do you help your clients prepare for a match?

HBO:  By studying their opponent’s strengths and weaknesses and giving any pointers I can, and if all else fails, I’m not above bending the rules a little bit.

Huskie: What is it like being on the road traveling from show to show?

HBO: It’s an amazing experience, working and getting over with new crowds plus the knowledge that comes from all the other vets out there, as an old school manager I handle about 98% of the driving, but the road trips are half the fun.

Huskie: If you could work anywhere in the world where would it be and why?

HBO argues with Ryan Freeman.

Huskie: What does it take to be a good manager?

HBO: You’ve got to understand a crowd, you’ve got to be able to communicate, pass the knucks without getting caught (laughs), you gotta know when and where to interject yourself and not take away from the match, the attention needs to be on the wrestlers…nothing aggravates me more than some jackass in street clothes simply yelling at a crowd to shut up and thinking he’s a manager.

Huskie: In your opinion who is the best manager in Ohio?

HBO: Guffman, hands down. The rest of us are battling for #2.

Huskie: In your opinion who is the best manager of all time?

HBO: I’m going with Bobby Heenan on that one, he had it all. One turn of his head and that weasel chant would go out…I had the opportunity to meet him once and he was just a class act.

Huskie: What are your thoughts on Indy wrestling in Ohio?

HBO: I think we’re on an upswing right now, there’s always highs and lows but we’ve got a few promotions that are very promising. I always read how bad Ohio is, but I’ve worked Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky over the past few years, and it’s the same everywhere. Some promotions are doing it right and some just book their buddies in crap fests so some of the issues aren’t just local issues.

Huskie: In your opinion what could be done to make the Indy scene better?

HBO: I think maybe we need to be a little more selective. Back in the day we’d get beat half to death to get “in”, nowadays it’s almost like the doors open with a welcome mat out “come on in”, people can go from sitting in the front row to working a show in a matter of weeks, some guys do have the skills to pull that off but on the flip side there’s guys in the ring that have no business in the ring.

Huskie: In your opinion, who are some of the best wrestlers in Ohio?

HBO: Dave Crist, Jake Crist, Sami Callihan, Dustin Rayz, Aaron McCormick, Jerry Andrews, Ed Gonzales, Chris Hall, Lil Naughty, Neveah, Pete Swaggs has come a long way, Dre Jacobs, Cody Hawk and many more. There’s a really really good group of guys and gals out there making it happen.

Huskie: Who are some up and comers we should watch out for in the next couple years?

HBO: Definitely keep your eyes on Nate Wings, Pete Swaggs and Dre Jacobs.

Huskie: In your opinion what are some of the best companies in Ohio?

HBO, Andrews, & Jon Murray attack Freeman.

Huskie: What has been your favorite moment in your career?

HBO: That’s a tough question, I get to do what I love and I get to manage my best friend doing it…debuting at HWA is probably the highlight, however punt kicking Dave Crist in the balls and stunning him was one of my favorite moments.

Huskie: What is the biggest obstacle you have had to overcome in your career?

HBO: Getting taken seriously. I’ve lost bookings and opportunities because so many untrained guys and girls think anybody can manage and have kinda bastardized the art of managing.

Huskie: What do you want to accomplish in your career?

HBO: Ultimately, I’d love to work for the WWE or TNA or ROH…even if that doesn’t happen, if just one of the many guys I’ve managed can say HBO effected his career in a positive way, then I’ve accomplished a pretty big goal.

Huskie: After your managing career is over, do you think you will somehow still be involved in the wrestling business?

HBO: I’m 100% sure of it, it’s in my blood (laughs). They’ll be hot gluing rhinestones on my walker.

Huskie: How do you want to be remembered?

HBO: As a guy the fans loved to hate and that always made the boys in the back laugh and have a good time.

Huskie: Do you have any advice for those who are looking to get into the wrestling business?

HBO: I’d say don’t unless your heart and soul is in it… but first and foremost get trained!!! Some of the best advice I was given early on was to shut up and listen.

Huskie: Are there any trainers that you would recommend?

HBO: Dave Crist is definitely top of the line, Mark Bryant is a great old school trainer, and of course Cody Hawk.

Huskie: What companies do you currently work for?

HBO: I had taken some time off over the summer when my main client was out with a broken ankle, but right now SCW out of Madison Indiana, also WBW in Sardinia, OH and LSC & HWE in Middletown, OH and we’ll be debuting with PWI in the near future.

Huskie: Why should a promoter book you?

HBO & Andrews exude arrogance on their way to the ring.

Huskie: Is there anything you would like to say to your fans?

HBO: Keep your eyes open, because this is the summer HBO and Jerry Andrews are going make things happen. Oh yeah, and I look absolutely NOTHING like Barney Rubble.

Huskie: Have you ever had an altercation with a fan?

HBO: Only once, and it wasn’t really an altercation, just some fans down south followed us all the way to the car after a show talking trash and trying to get a response out of us.

Huskie: How can fans follow you online?

HBO: I’m on Twitter @HBO937 or on Facebook at www.facebook.com/hbo937

There’s a MySpace somewhere, but that’s as useful as a VHS tape.

Huskie: Before our time runs out, do you have any good stories that you would like to share with us?

HBO: None fit for print (laughs)…other than Simon Dean constantly referring to me as Ted Kennedy. Well, once we had left an HWA show in Norwood and stopped at a gas station in the ghetto. Jon Murray runs in, and while he’s in there myself, Rayz and Andrews pull off out of sight, the look on Murray’s face when he thought he’d been left was priceless.

Huskie: Bobby, it’s been good talking to you, but unfortunately our time is up. I want to thank you again for joining us here at Wrestle Ohio.

HBO: Thanks for having me, Huskie!

Huskie: Alright wrestling fans, make sure to get out to a show near you and see what kind of mischief HBO will be getting into. Until next time, you’ve been Hanging with Huskie!

Huskie: Really?

Kopasz: Yes, he told me to tell the other wrestlers that he had left.

Huskie: What are your thoughts on Indy wrestling in Ohio?

Kopasz: I think there’s too much, seems like everyone wants to run their own promotion.

Kopasz lays down the law to Brutal Bellman.

Kopasz: By being a great ref.

Huskie: What companies do you currently work for?

Kopasz: Rockstar and occasionally LSC.

Huskie: Why should a promoter book you?

Kopasz: Because of my experience, and I’m a good person to have in the locker room.

Huskie: Do you have any advice for those who are looking to get into the wrestling business?

Kopasz: Check the credentials of a wrestling school before you join.

Huskie: What is the best advice you have received in your career?

American States Wrestling Alliance presents ASWA: Eruption ’13 on Saturday July 6, 2013 at The Eastbrook Center located at 720 5th Ave. in Mansfield, OH. Doors open at 6:00 PM with a 7:00 PM bell time.

Trimble Road and The Show Place at 1040 Ashland Road. You can also purchase advance tickets through EventBrite at this link.

Signed for this event…

- In singles competition, ASWA newcomer, Jock Samson will be challenging a true ring veteran and former WWE TV star, “Bad Boy” Barry Hardy. This will be Jock Samson’s first appearance in the ASWA and he claims that he wanted to start off with a bang by beating up one of most popular and experienced wrestlers in the ASWA.

Barry Hardy will have to be on top of his game when he steps in the squared circle with this brute named Jock Samson. Barry Hardy wrestled for the WWE (Then WWF) back throughout the 80′s & 90′s and also competeded in WCW & ECW. Aside from his singles matches, some may remember Barry Hardy in his many tag-team matches with Duane Gill (Gillberg) and wrestling such tag-teams as The Rockers, Smoking Gunns, Legion of Doom, The Steiner Brothers and many other prominent teams. Barry also competed on the early Monday Night RAW shows on the USA network.

- ASWA Universal Champion, “Rockin’ Roller” Izzy Lambert (managed by Ed Deadly) will be putting the ASWA Universal Title on the line against Kenny “The Hurricane” Hendrix.

Kenny Hendrix has his sight set on some gold and has been an impressive competitor in the ASWA for many years. He has moved up in the ranks again and will now go for Izzy’s championship. Ed Deadly doesn’t seem too thrilled with his champion having to face the muscle bound strong man. When we asked Ed Deadly his thoughts about this match, he simply said: “Need more bricks.”.. Who knows what he could have meant by that.

- Since Thunder Morgan was outnumbered in an impromptu handicap match last time at ASWA SPRING STING ’13, Kid Collins decided to make things a little more even and team up with Thunder and take on the team of Jeremy “The Butcher” Madrox & “Bombastic” Bruce Gray.

As some of you may recall, Madrox had a fine print clause last time that allowed him to bring in a partner to take on the big man, Thunder Morgan. After trying to end Thunder’s career by attempting to destroy his knee, Kid Collins came out and chased them off. Even though they commented about Tag Team gold, this attack on Thunder shifted their priorities to this SPECIAL TAG-TEAM GRUDGE MATCH!

- Another match signed will be an earth shaker as we see ASWA newcomer Bull Dozer take on the gigantic Kaos who is managed by Ed Deadly. Both of these men are great ring warriors and everyone in attendance will probably feel the ground shake beneath them when these two collide. Bull Dozer will have to stay on his toes because I’m sure Ed Deadly will surely be lurking and waiting for opportunities to help his man, Kaos, get the upper hand at every turn!

Ed Deadly said when he’s out there managing Kaos or anyone that people BETTER NOT CALL HIM WEASEL or ELSE!

- In this battle of dynamic high fliers, the ASWA brings the fans a high octane match between ASWA newcomer, Wicked to take on the Japanese mystery man known as Takahashi. This match will be a treat to watch and I hope everyone is ready to see these two fly all over Mansfield!

- The ASWA Tag-Team titles will be on the line at ASWA ERUPTION!
After ASWA officials were petitioned for a re-match…The team of Tommy Chill & Cyrus Poe, better known as The Black & Blue Crew, will be returning to Mansfield to try their hand once again at challenging the Tag-Team Champions, The Status Symbols for the ASWA Tag-Team titles. The Status Symbols front man, Random Pain, bought the contract of Joe Joe Little from Ed Deadly after a business deal went sour by Random Pain’s former Status Symbol partners.

There was much debate between the ASWA board of officials and Johnny Paradise about the status of the ASWA Tag-Team titles but it was decided that since Joe Joe Little was contracted as a Status Symbol, then he would be permitted to continue on as a co-holder of the Tag-Team championships.
The Black & Blue Crew will now have to change their strategy up since they will be facing a different line-up of The Status Symbols. But many fans speculate that these two big men can adapt to any kind of match against any two wrestlers at any given time.

- After traveling around to some of the darkest parts of the globe following leads on his quest to find one of the toughest grapplers in the world, Johnny Paradise found what he was looking for. His replacement for the Triple Threat Match on July 6th in Mansfield, OH for ASWA Eruption will be a very mysterious wild man known as Papa Dingo!

According to Paradise, this brutal warrior from the dark continent isn’t coming to the ASWA for fame, glory or championships…e is coming in just so he can battle anyone in his way. When asked about his find, here’s what Johnny Paradise had to say: “After firing that one guy…what’s his name…um..well it doesn’t really matter, I wanted to find someone to put in that Triple Threat Match that would make it a fair fight against that loser Jimmie Lee and the great new ASWA champion and my pal, Jeff Cannon! So my guy Papa Dingo will be the man to balance the scales and prove that I AM the man that gets things done in the ASWA!”

“The Living Nightmare” Jimmie Lee -vs- Champion “Big Guns” Jeff Cannon -vs- Johnny Paradise’s prospect, Papa Dingo! You don’t want to miss this one folks!
