[1990-05-12-NWA-World Championship Wrestling] Interview: Four Horsemen

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Woman with the Horsemen just seems so right. Again, not sure why they felt they needed to get rid of her. Sid looks awesome in a tux, but I wish he wasn't stuck cutting a promo on Robocop. The Horsemen are all on fire. This feels like a Crockett-era promo, and is great!

[PeteF3]

All six representatives get to speak. Sid isn't quite where he'd be on promos but does a decent job for what he has to work with. Arn shits on the idea of "R2D2 and Sting on one leg" challenging the Horsemen. Flair promises the Horsemen will break Sting's leg again.

Good snapshot promo of the Horseman but what the hell was Sid wearing a tux for. He looked like a limo driver for the group.

[Kevin Ridge]

Sid is wearing a tuxedo. His height and weight fluctuates during the interview. Sid again calls out Robocop. Arn referrers to Robocop as R2D2. Flair says if Sting shows up that he will get his leg broken again.

[Cox]

My goodness. SID VICIOUS IS DRESSED IN A TUXEDO CUTTING A PROMO ON ROBOCOP. This is fucking Pro Wrestling. If I die, and somebody cares to make a wrestling tribute video in my honor, this goes on there.

This is as close as it's gotten so far to the good old Crockett days for this Horseman run. Arn's the star here for pointing out the numbers, and his logic is unassailable. Five full-strength men and one designing woman against a robot, a cripple, and a three-time loser? Who wouldn't like those odds?

 

I agree that Sid in a tux looks a bit weird, but give him credit for trying to fit the Horseman image as closely as he possibly can.

[drew wardlaw]

Robocop's involvement is so stupid but good on the Horsemen for treating this seriously and delivering a great promo. The absurdity of the content but the gravity of the tone makes this so memorable. I fell off the couch for the R2D2 line.

[GSR]

The Horsemen are with Jim Ross and he says how they are at full strength for Capital Combat and that Sting and Robocop should watch out. Woman repeats her line about the manhunt being over and Flair says that now they have ‘the ace, the trump card!’ Not only is he going to beat Lex Luger in the cage next Saturday night, but he’s going to bleed from coast to coast and he’s going to be the most embarrassed athlete alive. Ole brings in a tuxedo wearing Sid Vicious and announces that he is the man that is going to take care of Robocop. Windham thinks with the big man on their side they can’t lose, and Sting and Luger might as well just give up as from now they dominate professional wrestling. Arn says that they’re bringing violence to Washington, DC and if you think R2D2, Sting on one leg and Luger can buck these odds you’re out of your noodle! Flair closes the interview by telling Sting that they’re going to break his leg again.

 

Everyone had something to say here, but Flair was the best of the bunch. I’m still not convinced on Woman as part of the group, especially as all she ever talks about is her ‘manhunt’. I can certainly see her as someone who Flair would be with, I just feel she needs to be more of a mouthpiece if she’s with the Horsemen. If Ole wasn’t there it might be different, but they don’t need two managerial types with them.

Sid in a tuxedo is like eating Pizza Rolls off your wedding china.
