CWH47 can probably answer this better, but I know Dad didn't like to talk. Lars was a natural mouth so that was easy to have him talk, and then Ole stepped in and we saw what he could do. I remember Dad telling me Ole was the mouth and brute force, while his gimmick was to always be thinking-calculating there next move.  
   When Dad was hit in the head with the baseball bat in the ring and it caused a stroke in I think August 1981 he really stuggled because the stroke affected his ability to put words together. He could think it, but it didn't come out the way he wanted.  Regardleess with the heat Ole could get talking who else needed to. - Brad Anderson

In my estimation, they were and are the greatest tag team of that era, to ever set foot in a ring.
Their ring savy was like watching poerty in motion.  I never saw or worked a bad match with them.

Bob Caudle:  Gene Anderson, the quiet one of the pair of Gene and Ole Anderson. David, a lot of the wrestlers are talking about it, a lot of the fans, and even though Gene Anderson is quiet when it comes to talking, I’m not so sure he’s not the more deadly of the two Andersons.
 
David Crockett:   He is deadly. He lets his actions speak for himself in that ring.

"As Teddy Roosevelt said 'Talk softly and carry a big stick." You'll hear very little out of Gene Anderson."

I think I always feared Gene more as a kid because he was like the silent killer.  
 
My reflections on Grene Anderson, from the Anderson Brothers / Minnesota Wrecking Crew website.  
 
I Believe In Gene Anderson
 
People occasionally comment on the fact that Gene Anderson rarely spoke during interviews conducted with the Minnesota Wrecking Crew. The fact that Gene Anderson didn’t talk during interviews made him more of a threatening, almost mysterious character to me when I was first watching wrestling.
 
It also added to the personality and uniqueness of the team. Ole doing all the braggadocios talking, Gene backing it up. The Anderson boots. Keeping an opponent in their corner. The famous Anderson slam. Bob Caudle and David Crockett talking on and on about that slam, really putting it over. No other team did any move quite like that slam. “Pick one part of the body, and stay on it”, Bob and David would say.  
 

 
And then there was “Supreme Sacrifice” match with Wahoo McDaniel and Paul Jones. I guess that was supposed to make the Andersons seem more like the bad guys, but to me it made them more like heroes. As a kid, I was at first horrified that Ole would sacrifice his own brother to win the titles. But when they showed the tape again, I was almost inspired that Gene seemingly went along with it, leaning over the ropes at ringside, head extended. I remember my friends Mark and Ricky and I having this deep philosophical discussion about who actually made the bigger sacrifice? Ole sacrificing his brother? Or Gene sacrificing himself? Either way, we were blown away that they would do that to get the World Tag team championships back. We loved Wahoo and Paul, but we were impressed that the Andersons wanted it that much more. This was real to us.
 
The following week when the Andersons came out with the belts they had won back in that match, Gene as always never said a word. He just stood with Ole holding his belt. No angle to tease a break up of the team like what would be required today. The point was this guy had made a sacrifice so that he and his brother could get their belts back. Without saying a word, that was one powerful statement.
 
Gene Anderson always said more by saying less. And I believed.
