Pat welcomed special guest Ole Anderson and asks him why he wasn&#8217;t part of Ric Flair&#8217;s big retirement ceremony. Ole discussed his stint as a member of the original Four Horsemen, his dealings with Vince McMahon and McMahon&#8217;s father, his favorite opponents, what he&#8217;s doing this weekend and many other topics. Pat also presented the Hot Five Stories of the week, plus news on Jonny Fairplay wrestling a former &#8220;Survivor&#8221; contestant and WWE signing an ex-NFL player.
