[1991-02-23-WCW-Saturday Night] Interview: Four Horsemen

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

[Loss]

Flair and Arn do all the talking and both are great. Arn has a great line where he says they are going to make the American Red Cross a Fortune 500 company! Paul E. sort of kills this at the end by trying to put himself over, but I also don't really get Arn's line either.

[shoe]

I thought Paul E was just trying to get himself over, but it made sense in regard to the next segment because I didn't understand Arn's line either.

[PeteF3]

Arn is fantastic, wartime metaphors and weird closing statement aside.

[Kevin Ridge]

Flair thinks his team is experienced enough to deal with War Games. Arn talks about loading their warhead with chemical weapons. Damn Persian Gulf war for talking over our wrestling promos.

[soup23]

Good final hype for Wargames getting over the match.

[garretta]

Arn's last line simply means "Don't turn your back". For once in his life, The Enforcer got a little too flowery for his own good. Actually, I wonder if that was a planned bit designed to make Heyman look like a fool. But if it was, why use heels to do it?

 

I guess even Dusty wasn't immune to putting war metaphors in promos. They're a little less tasteless here because the Horsemen aren't being portrayed as Iraqi sympathizers, and also because the name of the match is WarGames. I think war and weapons metaphors have been used in connection with that match since the beginning.

 

Arn's line about making the Red Cross a Fortune 500 company is my early front runner for Line of the Year.
