- Nobody had a career like Arn Anderson. For more than three decades he has been the epitome of “old school.” Hear him as you’ve never heard him before every Tuesday at 6am Eastern as you gives you a peak behind the curtain for the first time ever. Each week Conrad Thompson will examine Arn’s days in the territories, becoming an Anderson, creating the Four Horsemen in the NWA, becoming a Hall of Famer, and being a producer behind the scenes for years for WWE proving “The Enforcer” has a story unlike anyone else. Known for his trademark Spinebuster and incredible “promos” in front of the camera, it’s his timing and wit that has kept “the boys” in stitches behind the scenes. Hear for yourself why ARN is the new “symbol of excellence” in professional wrestling podcasting exclusively on Westwood One Podcast Network, Tuesdays at 6am Eastern.

Arn is awake and snoring simultaneously. Legend.
😴💤😄👍
unbelievable Jeffrey 🤣🤣🤣
😆 🤣 😂
Sounds like labored breathing…COPD?
🤣😂🤣
Arn and Tully it has been my pleasure. Thank you both!
They are my favorite all time favorite tag team!
Arn and Tully were your constant professionals both class acts.
They walked into the Philadelphia arena, gave notice, and they were done that night?
Thank you Double Aa . Rest in Peace to Beautiful Bobby Eaton .
Double Aa would be quadruple A.
When did Bobby Eaton die?
Love Arn Anderson. This guy had the best matches of his career during his NWA days. He was old school wrestling and he epitomized excellence.
So very true! We're very fortunate to still have Arn with us!
Which one?
So refreshing to hear Paul doing the interview instead of kneepad thompson.
Seeing this unfold as a kid it was hard to understand why Tully & Arn was in the WWF. Hearing it as an adult and understanding the B.S behind the scenes now makes sense. This spelled the end of The Horsemen bcuz it was NEVER the same after WWF.
It was so weird seeing Arn and Tully on WWF tv.
@@MrSmitty1074 I know right? Being a 12 yr old I was like Nnnnooooo!!!! but you know in the scheme of things it wouldn’t surprise me if Vince said if I could get one of the horsemen here it’s game, set, match. Bcuz the horsemen was why you watched.
@@MrSmitty1074 it sure was
Agreed. Especially hearing him now out of character. He seems like a pretty reasonable guy. I would bet he’s the kind of guy that would have to really be upset about stuff to make a move like that.
Loved the 4 Horsemen but once Arn & Tully left to WWF it was never the same. And sadly, there time in WWF wasn't what I was hoping. They should have had an immediate push as a tag team but it felt like they were treated as an average tag team.
I could listen to Arn tell this story a million times. Oh, wait, I already have!!
Arn will always be one of My all time favorites. In my opinion he was the Horseman. I always enjoyed his promos , his intensity. Cold 🥶 lol.. I hope his son Brock will enjoy the success his dad did.
Totally agree. He was the best of all the Horsemen.
Man they should make a movie about you and tully
And it wasn't long until Tully failed his drug test and his career in wrestling was over. Then Arn went back to WCW, and Flair went to WWF. Then Flair went back to WCW and Luger went to WWF. Then Luger went back to WCW and Sting, well Sting stayed with WCW. 😊
Yup..Vince seemed to aquire WCW talent just to weaken the company and then screw them over.
90% of the Wrestlers who jumped ship got screwed
I think Arn and Bobby Eaton are the two best wrestlers ever
I could listen to Arn tell stories all day!
i too like to sleep
I love ARN. He is legitimately a legend of the business. I do worry his health isn’t as good as he’s passing off to the public. Labored breathing isn’t without just cause. This is a case when I hope to be flat out wrong. In my almost three decades of working with people in physical wellness- there are flags that cannot be ignored.
I love Marty. I hope he’s doing absolutely fine🤞🏻🙏🏻.
One day I'd love to meet AA. Best damn TV champion ever.
Met him back in the day in Omaha when that was one of the big circuits for them. Never cared for the horseman back then but he was built like a brick house and seemed like a nice enough guy when I delivered his food to his room.
Did he Arn leave u a good tip?
I grew up watching wrestling in the 80's...some of the best times for me.
Liked and subscribed. 😎👍
When Tully left the horsemen died
With all the druggies in wrestling (Von Erichs, Flair, Lugar, Snuka, Duggan, Hulk, etc...), it's insane that Tully the only one fired. Especially when the promotion was in a bind.
Tully and Arn one of my favorite all-time tag team champions! I remember going into the Meadowlands to get nervous when they face the Road Warriors. They still won or at least still had the titles, I don't remember now.
Omg I was so sad because you lost the titles in my hometown...Arn hands down you and Tully were the best tag team..I'm a little biased because you guys were my favorite tag team ❤
Once JCP was done wrestling was never the same for me.
Then the next night in Fayetteville, NC, it was announced that Tully & Arn were no longer with the NWA.
AA my all time fav.
That was one of my favorite tag teams ever
Arn seems like a stand up guy. We hear a lot of wrestlers tell a lot of stories and sometimes u don't know who or what to believe. I believe Arn.
It was very rare that you could go from NWA to WWF keeping the same character. Ric Flair did. Arn & Tully did. Dusty Rhodes was reduced to wearing Pokka Dots.
Nothing is better then Arn Anderson vs Daniel Tosh feud let’s keep that one going ❤️
Arn is obviously scared of being in the same area code as Daniel Tosh
Daniel Tosh ???
I would love to hear Cornette's take as to why the Horsemen were left off Clash 3. He remembers everything. His memory might actually be better than mine.
Corny is the best he’s literally always right
Cornette usually be on point..
He doesn't remember ish. He has written down everything he's ever done in wrestling. So it's not his memory, it's his OCD
@@ms16794 same shit he is knowledgeable regardless
@@BlackieMike14 nah
Arn Anderson “THE STRAIGHT SHOOTER”
Tully saw it coming
Everything usually goes to crap at some point working for the same company for a long time. Relationships just sour with people and employers usually over time. If they didn't then people would stay with the same company forever...doesn't matter if its in Corporate America or wrestling. Sometimes you need to jump ship to make more money and get better opportunities. And sometimes its not something you necessarily wanted to do but had to do or were forced into making that decision.
Unfortunately sometimes loyalty doesn't pay with employers and you end up getting taken for granted.
I worked in Corporate America for one of the largest companies in the world for over 20 years. They broke me, and if they hadn't, I'd have worked with them until I got to retirement age. The benefits were good, until it wasn't enough of a reason to stay.
Tha enforcer word my favorite horsemen word up
Arn Anderson gave the best promos because he never went crazy, but was reserved. He looked like he meant it.
Ahh yes I remember going to the Sam Houston Coliseum on friday nights when I was a kid,great memories.
Arn & Tully were as tight as 9 is to 10. The 4 Horsemen were the biggest heel draws. They were what ever guy envied. JCP had the best wrestling and blew it. I guess they weren't geared for the big time market. Good tactical planning and horrible strategic planning.
FUNNY HOW ARN ALOS HAS A SOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH FLAIR AS WELL
SUBBED!
for me them leaving the nwa was the worst moment in wrestling history. the 4 horsemen were my favorites and that was the end of an era that never returned☹
Both of them and The Rock & Roll Express walked out of the NWA that year.
Been a while since an arn video popped up on TH-cam feed. Dont know what's going on but c'mon man get it together TH-cam
What a cool shirt!!!
Original badass love him dedication n commitment 👏 n skill
Even though I'm glad things worked out financially for Arn, Tully, and their families with the WWF, it had to have been a massive blow to NWA/WCW with them leaving. I remember Bobby "The Brain" Heenan becoming their manager and the team was named, "The Brain Busters." They were a great heel tag team and even won the tag team championship at one point. If you look back on TH-cam videos of NWA/WCW wresting from the early and mid 1980s, the Four Horsemen was the group keeping that wrestling program afloat. Eventually, all of the Four Horsemen would soon leave for the WWF (Anderson, Blanchard, Wyndham, Luger, and Flair). NWA/WCW just didn't feel the same afterwards.
With Flair being the only one to win a singles title
Jimmy Beavis: Barry Windham returned to The WWF. He toured there in 1984 with Mike Rotundo as "The U.S. Express." The last team of an incredible 16 (!) in all that the late great "Captain" Lou Albano ahem "guided" to World Tag Team Championship Gold.🤔🎤🇺🇸🐴💎👔👞👞🤼♂️B.W.
Love you AA & Tully
You guys are brothers. Bury the hatchet
Yep! Two great guys. Before it is too late.
I Have a 4 Horseman t-shirt with the horses breathing fire. Its one of my favorite things I own. I wonder what the chances of getting are to sign it
Being honest. "The Brainbusters" run in the WWF/WWE wasn't that great in comparison to Arn/Tully as Horsemen.
Of course not. Agreed
Arn even went to WWE and won gold. One of the best Wrestlers of alltime.
arn used to live right down the street from the late bobby eaton and his wife donna they were all very close at one point -- i know this because i became friends with donna, they had a falling out and lost touch -- Arn moved too - i hope Arn was able to speak to donna and bobby before they both passed -- its hard to believe there was beef between them when bobby and donna were 2 of the nicest and classiest people that ever lived --
The beef between them was over the money that each other was getting from JCP.
@@TheREALOC1972 donna dundee never mentioned it -- sadly she passed - but she was a truly a nice person -- i know she said bobby missed talking and seeing Arn - as they were very close -- they lived on the same street for a long time and then things went downhill -- Arn moved -- sad -- i just hope Arn was able to speak to bobby before he passed --
Albany Ga!
R.I.P Oli Anderson
Fun Fact: Darth Vader is Arn Andersons personal yoga instructor.
Lol
Idk much about Tully Blanchard
But I know Ollie Anderson needs a hug asap
He's grouchy as a bitter woman on a perma-period
it is Ole not Ollie....lol
He's a teddy bear. Well, minus the teddy.
60% of Flair's 16 - thanks to Arn & Tully. Nice
So much I hated and still hate about the WWF product , but it sounds like Vince can relate to talent .
Used to be able to do so
80s and 90s Vince for sure.
The Awake Apnea is real bro. Darth would be proud.
Seeing them in Wwf I was shocked yet pissed after seeing their matches. As a kid I knew Arn and Tully would bring “real wrestling “ lol to Wwf as I always hated the cartoonish bs. Well, that didn’t happen as I thought. Same with Dusty.
This host is good & watchable... that guy they got 4 roaddoggz podcast is a fukn herb & gotta go 4realz....
Sending Arn out for a second match, after a main event type match, is lame.
it's just stupid
@@MrSmitty1074 Big time Steve. I know Dusty Rhodes is universally loved, but to me he is the most overrated booker in the history of pro wrestling. Not saying he's terrible, but just ridiculously overrated. He went to the same wells over and over and kept the top in stone way too long. Lost a lot of talent over the years because of it. He also held grudges and used his position to take vengeance. In the end, he destroyed JCP with wild spending due to his ego. He and McMahon ended pro wrestling as I loved it.
What does the gun representation of the letter R have to do with anything? Just curious.
It’s a take on the logo for ‘The Sopranos’.
The Enforcer.
Was he preaching at you on the job
Arn is the sexiest wrestler ever! 🔥🔥🔥
Why does Conrad keep starting up these new shows only to do like a couple weeks worth of episodes as the host and then hand it off to this other guy? The whole thing just feels like a constant cash grab now to see how many of these podcasts he can dish out before the well runs dry.
Has Arn been doing Darth Vaders voice for the Kenobi on Disney of late?
James Earl Jones is doing the voice of Darth Vader on the show
@@joshuakelley5924 he is making a joke about his breathing/health problems.
Darth Vader not so silently listening
Some heavy breathing there
Is Darth Vader running the camera ?
OK, but Arn and Tully got buried in the WWF.
Arn sounds like Darth Vader breathing.
Is this when JCP was being sold to Turner.
Don't understand how the title of this video is at all relevant to the story??????
Arn breathing like Darth Vader.
I can hear heavy breathing like one of these guys is on a respirator.😬
Logically though wouldn't Arn have been tired and beaten up from the Midnight Express so logically wouldn't it make sense for him to lose to Dr Death? Think about it
Never watched wwe, nor wwf.
The interviewer speaks with the gravitas of a historian recounting all the detail that led to Caesar’s decision to cross the Rubicon. “So, you farted that morning, September 3rd, 1986. Can you describe the type of fart and how it changed the trajectory of wrestling and more importantly, Western Civilization?”
I'ts SO true 😂🤣
wcw was a mess financial and commercial and was run like a comedy show
1st
You don't understand the power of the dark side.
Tully was always a bad look never liked Tully Blanchard
Arn's breathing doesn't sound right!
I think he is sick I give him five months top😟
He’s got a nose full of coke
It. Would. Be. Cool. The. First. Ever. AEW. Chris. Benoit. Lifetime. Achievement. Award. The Award. Should. Go. To. Arn. Anderson. Horsemen. Forever
Wasn't it Tully's drug problems?
I wouldn't be surprised if Vince didn't secretly pay them promoters in WCW to kill the company so he could be the only game in town.
Nyah it was fun mostly by executives who didn’t know a wrist lock from a wrist watch.
It’s still pro wrestling blaspheme that during their run in WWF, Arn & Tully were booked to job around the horn to the fucking Bushwhackers. And you know who probably had to take the fall every night too… poor Arn. Only got a small taste of the potential greatness that could’ve happened between them and The Rockers , Hart Foundation, etc. and I think had they hung around a couple more years, they could’ve helped get LOD even more over on their way into the compan
I never understood either; yet, Tully & Arn became Tag Team Championship around that time. Plus, I was at a house show in Amarillo, where Tully & Arn went against the Bushwhackers. I was in the aisle toward the front as I went to slap hands with The Bushwhackers as they walked down toward the ring. Thinking I'd miss my moment, I hurried up there with a package of M&Ms in my hand (I had several left), stuck my hand out and lo and behold, Butch swiped it from my hand, placed the package in his mouth; and once he got in the ring, he spit it in Arn's face, then all hell broke loose as the match began. It was a non-title match; yet The Bushwhackers ended up winning. I guess they were going for the "send them home happy" angle. I was so wishing Tully & Arn had won the match. Nonetheless, as Butch heads back down the aisle, he had M&M gunk on his beard and was laughing at me. Good times!
Arm sounds like he is close to death
Tully was always the weak link
The truth: When Tully Blanchard became a “Christian” minister, staunch atheist Arn Anderson was so disgusted with him.
Arn's an Athiest?
NWA/WCW was one of the best AND WORST wrestling companies ever!!
Well they're not the same company for starters. If you mean JCP and WCW that's a closer analogy but those aren't the same either. The management was so different with each you can't really consider them the same just because the roster transferred over.
Arn as usual is wrong because right before they left they were in The Original Civic Center in Philadelphia dropping the Tag Team Championship Titles to The Midnight Express and you can see that match as I taped it in The Civic Center. The only video of this match you will ever see and I have it up here.
You’re a hero
Arn was the better of the 2 Tully was to little for wwe he was aaboveaverage jobber
Tully never wrestled for WWE...Tully was the biggest Heel at JCP, but it's cool, you like watching Warrior shake the top rope and Faces holding all the Belts, I get it...
@@charles1964 what do you mean Tully never wrestled for WWE??? He and Arn had a one year and some change run in WWE from late 88 to late 89
@@soulofanerd9364
Tully wrestled for WWF
@@charles1964 😆😆😆 so it's not the same company? Who ran WWF that is different from WWE? It's literally just a name change that wasn't even intentional
Arn needs to lose weight. He probably too big! He's older now on their way is probably wearing heavy on his heart and his lungs
Arn is having some serious breathing issues there...
Does anyone else think that Arn Anderson currently and facially resembles Andy Reid?😂🎤🐴💎👔👞👞🏈🤼♂️B.W.
No, he looks like zombie Joe the Plumber from the Beyond (1981)
Didn't he claim once that Rick Rude bench pressed an incredible amount of weight while asleep on the bench?🤔😴🎤🐴💎👔👞👞💪🤼♂️B.W.
