Loss Posted December 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 The Horsemen accepts the challenge of the Dudes for next week, with Barry making sure to add that JYD can't get anyone of his own kind to help him, so he has to get Sting or Orndorff. Ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Double-ugh. It was a routine promo before that needless bit of horseshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Pretty bad Horseman promo and a lot of wind has flew off the sails even from right after the heel turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Ridge Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Horsemen are confident of putting up any combination against the Dudes With Attitudes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cox Posted December 25, 2013 Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 More racism, but more of Sid's tuxedo. Guess you gotta take the bad with the fucking awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garretta Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 This almost reeks of Ole not thinking that the Horsemen can draw heat anymore. Maybe he thought that the addition of Sid would accidentally turn them babyface because of his physique, and this was the only way to stop it. What I still don't get, especially since there were already pickets and lawsuits being threatened (okay, by Thunderbolt Patterson, but still) is why Jim Herd didn't tell Ole in no uncertain terms to quit the race baiting or lose his job. Was he intimidated by Ole? Did he think no one else could book a match? Did he try to get other people and was turned down? There has to be some reason why this stuff still went on in a modern corporatized promotion like the WCW of 1990. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted January 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 They were simply looking for something that would draw money immediately and get them consistent 5.0+ ratings. So they were willing to try just about anything to make that happen. Ole was a new booker, so he got a chance to sink or swim. When bookers would present Herd with ideas they could lay groundwork for that would draw big in six months, his response was that they needed to do something that would draw big now, not later.

garretta Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 I could see the racial angle working if JYD was Flair's ultimate challenger during this time. But he wasn't; Sting was and had been since February. The best JYD got was a Clash main event that almost everyone agrees was terrible. There was no chance in the world that JYD would even sniff the World title. Surely there could have been something else that could have drawn the ratings Herd was looking for, like a Flair/Luger "I Quit" match.

drew wardlaw Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 More ham-fisted racism here. But the feud at this point is built around the Dudes with Attitudes. I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSR Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 The Horsemen are with Jim Ross and Ross wants to know whether they are going to accept the challenge against the Dudes with Attitude for next week? Arn says that it’s been the Horsemen against the World for an eternity, and for as long as he can remember, someone has wanted to jump on the Horsemen. He says that they are an island unto themselves and any combination of the Horsemen is better than everybody else. If they want to jump on them that’s fine, make national TV the platform and they’ll shut them up once and for all. Windham says that they back away from no-one. The Junkyard Dog couldn’t get any of his own kind to help him so he’s got to get Orndorff or Sting. He’s going to have to do a hell of a lot better than that because they will take care of any combination they can come up with. Now Barry Windham is at it! Was that line really necessary? The Horsemen making some racial remark in every interview is coming across as a desperate attempt to get cheap heat. On a positive note, Arn has been superb recently in these promos (when he is not making racist comments himself that is!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
