What was your opinion of Ole Anderson?
Some like him. Some hate him.
Some view him as being a stubborn jackass in which he hurt the business and wrestlers while others said he had the balls to stand up against the bigger players in pro wrestling.
Any opinions on Ole Anderson?

He's probably not going to use the proper pronouns, but I think he was a good booker back in the day. Like most, he may have overstayed his welcome.

How can you not love Ole Anderson for being a real man. He's not married anymore that I know of, so it's just him. He fell on hard times with his health, needed some cash and really couldn't get out to conventions, and got offered to do in home video interviews for WWE projects and he told Vince to go fuck himself. So no matter how bad it was, he wouldn't cash Vince's check. Much respect to the miserable old prick.

I think he was a good worker in his day. He was a good booker at time & horseshit at times. He seemed like a crusty old fuck who overstayed his welcome.

Great promo. Good in ring performer who knew his limits and what worked for him. As a booker, he had a no-nonsense approach and was blessed with a TV station that had national exposure and access to phenomenal talent. I've gotten the impression that he was honest to the point of rude and didn't fear other promoters.
I never saw him as hurting the business. However, when the wrestling business went corporate, he was not a good fit for it at all. He was very similar to Bill Watts in that respect.
