Wrestling icon Ole Anderson, best known as a member of the original Four Horseman faction, passed away Monday at 81.

A cause of death was not revealed, but he was previously diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2007 and had been dealing with limited mobility. The Minneapolis native and US Army veteran's death was confirmed by friends and family.

Born Alan Rogowski, Anderson cultivated one of wrestling's most indelible heel personas and was known throughout the industry for his ability to cut a promo. He later became a top booker for Georgia Championship Wrestling, which aired on Ted Turner's TBS from the 1970s until 1984.

'Just saw the Ole Anderson news,' one fan wrote on X, echoing statements made by countless others on Monday. 'RIP to one of the most important historical figures in wrestling, who was also a top-tier promo in wrestling history and at his peak a great booker.'

Anderson and his fellow Four Horseman – Arn Anderson, Ric Flair and Tully Blanchard – would fight for several promotions, including Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling and later Turner's World Championship Wrestling.
