Tim Cooke Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Segment of the Year material and if Flair didn't return on September 14, 1998, this would probably be the greatest Four Horsemen/WCW moment ever. Arn's promo is simple, direct, and heartfelt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted September 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 Quite the famous segment. Flair wants Curt Hennig out -- he's either a Horseman or he's not. Hennig says he isn't ready to give an answer. Flair thought that might happen, so he has invited Arn Anderson out to say a few words to Hennig. Arn does a fantastic interview announcing his retirement and offering not a spot but HIS spot to Curt Hennig. Flair is in tears. Hennig famously says "It would be a privilege." Great stuff in this that gets lost because of the upcoming parody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenjo Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Great promo from AA to announce his wrestling days are over. It's so fitting that he uses this moment to help put over another wrestler as well. It was good that Arn got to announce his retirement to the world. Most American wrestlers have either left the mainstream promotions or have nothing made of it when they decide to call it a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Ridge Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Flair wants Curt in the Horsemen. Hennig is not ready to accept. Ric wants Curt to listen to Arn Anderson. Even before Arn starts talking you can see the emotion in Flair’s face. Amazing stuff from Arn in announcing his retirement. Flair is holding back the tears the whole time. Too bad this leads to the parody and Hennig not being the right choice in the Horsemen to fill Anderson’s spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 One of the best wrestling segments of all time. The image of Arn talking about someone hitting him on the back and him realizing that his career was over melded over Flair fighting back tears in the shot behind him was such powerful stuff. I really felt like this version of the Horseman had a long run in them and along with sting, would essentially dispell of the NWO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert S Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 Strange that Arn talked about the other Horsemen as "these two guys" while pointing at Flair and Mongo several times, I guess he did not accept Benoit as a Horseman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Arn clearly referenced Benoit and McMichael as "these two men", as he held Flair in a whole other level. Yeah, Arn cuts a great promo, one of the best of the year, and this is a case where reality sets in, as Flair is genuinely moved. Hennig reacts accordingly, being dead serious and respectful. Great segment that could have launched a new interesting segment with these Horsemen vs nWo waiting for Sting to take the cake at Starrcade. It's a shame Arn had to retire early, as by this point he was a better TV worker and promo than Flair. Terrific segment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Chill-inducing segment without a lot more to say about--I don't think it was the parody that sunk this, it was the rather stupid and pointless Hennig turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyonthewall2983 Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 Curt in the Horsemen really could have revitalized the group, to a point where I can see them getting popular in the WWF strongholds. He just became another guy in the NWO and wouldn't do anything else of note other than the West Texas Cowboys gimmick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
