shoe Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Arn can read the phonebook and make it interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Ridge Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 I figure they would only have good guys making these type of announcements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeCampbell Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 This seems like an attempt at a thinly veiled shot at the WWF. And yeah, weird to see it from Double-A rather than a top babyface like Sting, Steamboat, Rhodes, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingedEagle Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Arn tells people to stay off steroids. He could make just about any material compelling and believable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 I don't know if Arn was clean or not, but you definitely want somebody who at least LOOKS that way to deliver such an announcement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlynwoodx Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 This was fascinating. STAY OFF THE STEROIDS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazymax Jack Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Arn can read the phonebook and make it interesting. Quoted for truth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilTLL Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 In addition to these two, there's also a less frequently shown Zbyszko one where he references cancer, sterility, and tendon-off-the-bone injuries, and eventually turns it into a promo. "Don't be a jerk or you'll never be at the top of your sport for 17 glorious years." And a Freebirds one where they talk about doing crazy things, but not stupid things, like standing in front of a train, or steroids. I guess cocaine and whiskey are crazy but not stupid.

garretta Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 I guess steroid abuse was one thing that faces and heels could agree was bad. I applaud WCW for having heels do these announcements. First, there were heel fans out there, whether they liked it or not. Second, it reinforced the message that even those wrestlers whose ethics you could question cared enough about their livelihood and their health not to mess with steroids, which was definitely a message children and young adults needed to hear. Arn was perfect for stuff like this because he always told it straight, whether what he was saying was popular or not. I'd listen to him before people like Larry Z or the Freebirds.

drew wardlaw Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 The week after this there's a Steamboat one that's all pure babyface, then a Freebirds one where Jimmy Jam opens it up with a "yeah yeah yeah." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawho5 Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 Arn is the perfect guy for this. Not only due to a physique that doesn't scream steroids, or the fact that he was a straight shooter. Also, as mentioned above, Arn could make the phone book interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
