[1990-10-27-NWA-Halloween Havoc] Interview: Four Horsemen

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

[Loss]

Flair, Arn and Sid are all going for the gold.

[PeteF3]

Horsemen by numbers, which of course is still really good. Sid included.

[soup23]

This feels like segment of the year compared to the last shit. Still a good promo as a standalone, but the Horseman are not a very cohesive feeling unit around this time.

[Kevin Ridge]

Sid makes an appearance with the rest of the Horsemen. Was Ole taken off TV to focus completely on the Black Scorpion?

[garretta]

I would think so, Kevin. If he was heard talking too much, even the marks, at least some of them, would have figured out that he was doing the Scorpion's voice, and they would have either had to scrap the angle and reveal it as a Horseman mind game or give Ole the match Flair ended up getting at Starrcade, which most likely wouldn't have gone well at all given Ole's ring rust (he hadn't wrestled at all since the spring).

 

I didn't notice any lack of cohesion on the Horsemen's part, but watching this got me thinking: How would the Horsemen have looked as a Sid-centric unit as opposed to a Flair-centric one? Flair and Arn as a tag team would have left Barry as the "enforcer", Arn's nickname notwithstanding. Could a unit structured that way have sustained, at least until the inevitable friction that would have undoubtedly led to a Flair/Sid showdown sometime in '91? Would a Flair/Sid series have done better than what we got?

Standard Horsemen promo, emphasizing everyone's mission tonight. No problem with that, I'll take stock Horsemen promos all day long.
