==== Minnesota Wrecking Crew (1984β1985) ==== {{see also|Minnesota Wrecking Crew (professional wrestling)|l1=Minnesota Wrecking Crew}} Lunde made his way to [[Jim Crockett, Jr.]]'s [[Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling]], based in [[the Virginias]] and [[the Carolinas]]. By this time, the company extended its range into [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]] after rival promoter [[Vince McMahon]] [[Black Saturday (professional wrestling)|purchased]] [[Georgia Championship Wrestling]]. There was a strong physical resemblance between Lunde and [[Ole Anderson]], who had achieved legendary status in the Georgia and Mid-Atlantic territories as a tag team wrestler. Ole noticed that Lunde's style was a no nonsense approach in the ring and specialized in working over a part of an opponent's body throughout the match, much like Ole himself. Anderson agreed to work with Lunde, helping to hone his capabilities, and re-formed the [[Minnesota Wrecking Crew]] with Lunde replacing [[Gene Anderson (wrestler)|Gene Anderson]] and taking on the name of "Arn Anderson", Ole's kayfabe brother. The team quickly became a force in the territory by capturing the [[NWA National Tag Team Championship]] in March 1985.<ref name=AlumArch/> Arn and Ole defended the titles throughout the year, with their highest profile match being part of the card for [[Starrcade (1985)|Starrcade 1985]] on [[Thanksgiving]] night. The Crew successfully defended the titles against [[Wahoo McDaniel]] and [[Billy Jack Haynes]].<ref>{{cite web| url = https://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=11285| title = Reference at www.cagematch.net}}</ref>
