That's what made the Horsemen so good. Flair and AA both great on the mic, and great wrestlers. IMO and many others Flair is the greatest wrestler and the greatest on the mic. Flair greatest single wrestler and AA greatest tag wrestler. That's why the Horsemen were the greatest Group followed closely by the Freebirds who still deserve to be in the Hall of Fame!
In this segment, Four Horseman ran out of time for everyone to speak. That's why Arn said in the beginning that time was expensive and he was going to spend some of it. They brought Ric back later in the program and Dave Crockett even said that he didn't get a chance to speak. But I also posted that as well. Just look up Ric Flair spot.
That's why the Horsemen were so great! Greatest single wrestler Flair and could work the mic like magic. Double A greatest tag wrestler, and serious on the mic. AA would make it seem so real! WOOO
Now that’s a promo!! You rarely see that now and when you don’t they are ok or good not great like rasslin’ back in the day. From Arn, Ole, Ric, Gino, J.J., Tully, Cornette, Dusty, Heyman, etc. They had mic skills and the younger guys should look to them to learn something.
You are right, that is why I like Independent wrestling so much more than WWE, they cut much better promos. CM Punk was great in Ring of Honor. The original ECW promos were good too
Arn,Jake,Dusty,Folely and Kevin should teach WWE Heels on how to cut good promos. Punk and Miz are the only two in the wwe on how to cut good promos and R.Truth is crazy on his promos. The rest suck. Arn was one of the greats on how to cutting kick ass promos
"David Crockett, a little time on this taped station is very expensive, but I'm gonna spend some of it." *glasses off* Promo class is in session. Sit back, shut up, and take notes on how a promo is perfectly done. When Double A took those glasses off, not only shit just got real, but as I said, promo class is in session.
This is the absolute measuring stick when it comes to stable promos. Arn made the team more important tehn himself and created a foundation for everyone to follow. Period.
I remember I was just getting into wrestling at the time and I remember thinking this guy is very convincing. Arn really made you believe wrestling was real- the sheer intensity of his promos. One of the top three ever on the mike.
My dad and I watched this when it aired on tv back in the day. I consider myself lucky to have seen wrestling when it seemed real and scary. That bullshit out nowadays is rubbish. This was my childhood, and I’m grateful for it.
Yeah, this type of interview style promo is now considered old fashioned. But I guess it takes a special type of person to deliver quite like this so they stopped doing this in favor of you walking out into the ring, talk trash, bait the opponent to walk out too, and get the crowd involved somehow. I posted this so some of us old schoolers and maybe some younger fans can appreciate someone with real mic skills.
Arn Anderson (ne Marty Lunde, b. 9-20-58) took the identity of The Enforcer, but calling him The Methodical Disciplinarian or Punisher feels closer to the mark. This beefcake pit bull could absorb punishment but thrived on administering it with arrogance to spare. He was, and probably still is, a hunk of beef with a cement chest. His line of work? Cleaning clocks. Marty worked hard at mauling and manhandling but made it look simple when he flicked sweat at hapless opponents suffering beside or beneath his boots. Built like a proverbial brick latrine, he strutted so manfully you had to know he’d been a bully all his life. From the top of his 6-foot-1 frame, with its thinning blond hair, to his snuggly fitting red and white wrestling boots, Marty kicked butt more methodically than any grappler of his generation. He most often finished matches in his later years with his co-called gourd buster or DDT, thereby forfeiting the finishes that fans might have preferred: a figure four leg lock or a Boston crab, submission holds he could have held. With a figure four he could have rocked back repeatedly and yanked on a jobber’s efficiently immobilized boots. With a crab, he could have tucked the jobber’s boots under his armpits and mashed his bottom against the jobber’s bottom in triumphant domination and pumped up and down on the backside of the body he straddled. Just as the magnificent George The Animal Steele was proficient at stomping left arms into putty, Marty developed a passion for inflicting pain on muscled left arms. Marty would nail a jobber’s left hand to the mat with his tight left boot while using his right boot to teach the jobber’s left biceps what’s what. He’d stomp the stuffings out of an immobilized arm. Jobbers had to admire his cocky strain of merciless manliness, but only before and after tussling with the maestro. During the match the jobbers, so often cowering at their master’s boots, looked up at Marty’s muscular chest and often seemed on the verge of soiling themselves in fear. What could they grab onto to right themselves - one of his tree-trunk legs as he prepared to impose his will by resuming the wreckage? Marty regularly hoisted a jobber into the air, bracing the jobber’s left arm behind the back and then slamming the guy to the mat on the already-wounded wing. The Marty would roll the victim over onto his belly, twist the left limb back and as high up the jobber’s back as it would push, pressuring and pressuring it until it threatened to snap. Jobbers would pound their free right hand on the mat in agony as Marty twisted and pushed and pummeled in an escalating wave of discipline. When a jobber laid limp and helpless at his master’s boots, Marty stood triumphantly with his hands on his hips, assessing his conquest and planning dessert. Marty would lower himself toward the mat momentarily to wrap an opponent's wounded arm around one of his tight boots, stand straight again, pause arrogantly to prolong the anticipation and then hurl himself backward to the mat. The pain would shoot from the jobber’s forearm to his biceps, shoulder, neck and back, and he’d arc up and back in a rippled spasm of agony. Marty himself was pleased by his productive gesture, so he’d stand, work the limp arm into another vulnerable position around his boot and throw himself backward again. The screams lashed the air. Master at work. He seemed to taunt the jobbers writing beneath him: "You want some more, buster? I'm here to satisfy the audience, and they want it." The Punisher obliged. Marty’s trunks were a trip in themselves, especially the white ones. His bubble buttocks packed the rear so muscularly that every ripple of his butt creased the shorts, as when he strutted. And no one could overlook the front of those white trunks when his ample organ moved within from side to side as he strutted, assessed the damage at his feet and mapped a he-man's plans for the afflicted. His was the handiwork of a dedicated heel, a boss stud with his incomparably rock-hard handsome mug and menacing glare. He could have flexed the pecs on his stocky frame, and maybe he did. What he never did after winning a submission was to return to a jobber’s broken body and administer more discipline. Instead he’d raise his muscle-bound arms in triumph and saunter off to the showers indifferently. Even beef his size can be tender.
AA better get the hall of fame! That's what made the Horsemen great, AA great mic skills, best tag team wrestler. Flair greatest on the mic, greatest wrestler! WOOOO
I am proud to be left-handed myself, and when I am having feelings of self-doubt, I will remember Arn Anderson. He never gave up, and worked his butt off! All the time!
Nobody and I mean NOBODY before or after delivers a promo like a ARN ANDERSON!!!!!! PERIOD! END OF DICSUSSION!! "Im lookin for you Luger...DONT COME LOOKIN FOR ME!!!!!!"
@TheLizardKing1967 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. 3 o'clock after study hall. Name's Barack. Be sure to get as many people to watch by yelling out, "I'm gonna kick Barack's ass!" I'll be there.
You just dont see promos like that anymore. Wrestlers now just act like wanna be comedians or over the top egomaniacs and when they do act serious it is boring and unbelievable. AA had the ability to really seem pissed off and dead serious about what he was saying.
Back when wrestlers and fans loved and respected the business, back when it really did mean something!! I'm a 43 year old from East Tennessee and I can truly say that back in the 80's wrestling was a part of everyday life, damn I miss it!!
Unfortunately, they don't do promos like this any more. Now, you have to go to the ring and instigate the other guy to come out and face you. Try to get the crowd involved and os forth. I'm not sure if I could call those promos. To me, those are skits. What Arn is doing here is a promo in which he's looking into the camera and telling everyone what he's going to do and why you should watch. A good example is UFC. What those guys do are promos in which sports entertainment used to be.
To think as a kid i hated these guys for being the heel, Now i'm older much much older i look back and think just how good the four horsemen we're with their matches and their promo's
I know that had to piss off the other wrestlers that Flair, Arn and Tully always seemed to have a belt. They held those belts for years and there were only so many belts. Now-a-days if the title doesn't change in 30 days people are losing their minds. I liked wrestlers holding the belt for long periods because it made you think they were as good as they said the were.
Yeah Barry Windham said exactly that on the Four Horsemen dvd set, a lot of the guys in the locker room were upset and jealous about the Horsemen constantly holding the titles.
![Four Horsemen Interview [1986-12-27]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/yWC-TBfTC1U/mqdefault.jpg)
"I'm coming for you Lugar! Don't be looking for me!" AA sounded like a total badass when he said that.
Flair didn’t have to say anything that day Arn took care of it he was on fire
When he took off those 10 pound eye glasses he meant every word he said
Arn’s promo was so fire even Flair didn’t need to say nothing. Truly one of the best in the business
man those belt had to be real gold you hear how heavy it was when AA put it on the table lol
Unlike the new NWA National Title that looks like a cheap Dollar store toy.
That's what made the Horsemen so good. Flair and AA both great on the mic, and great wrestlers. IMO and many others Flair is the greatest wrestler and the greatest on the mic. Flair greatest single wrestler and AA greatest tag wrestler. That's why the Horsemen were the greatest Group followed closely by the Freebirds who still deserve to be in the Hall of Fame!

Flair with the chill woo there
That's why the Horsemen were so great! Greatest single wrestler Flair and could work the mic like magic. Double A greatest tag wrestler, and serious on the mic. AA would make it seem so real! WOOO
His partner Tully Blanchard wasn't too shabby on the mic either.
Love the crowd's chant: "WE DON'T WANNA HEAR IT!!"
The true Golden Age if Not Diamond Age of Pro Wrestling
These guys were the greatest shit talkers eva 😂
they look like they were really pissed about the luger situation. if not, they're great actors
Arn is monster on the mic
And I mean NO ONE cut a better promo than ARN ANDERSON! And this was by far was Arn at his BEST
He wasn't lying 😆😆😆😆
Arn. 🔥 on the 🎤
Back then there was no script, it was Dusty telling Double-A to cut a promo on Luger.. fucking money
Now that’s a promo!! You rarely see that now and when you don’t they are ok or good not great like rasslin’ back in the day. From Arn, Ole, Ric, Gino, J.J., Tully, Cornette, Dusty, Heyman, etc. They had mic skills and the younger guys should look to them to learn something.
couldn't agree with you more. I wouldn't follow that even if I were Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair combined.
Notice Flair had nothing to say after Arn finished. He said it all and as good as Flair is on the mic, he knew that couldn’t be topped
@@Mark-sj3xb
Ric came back later in the program on his own.
I think he was putting his pal over by not trying to follow his act.
You are right, that is why I like Independent wrestling so much more than WWE, they cut much better promos. CM Punk was great in Ring of Honor. The original ECW promos were good too
Only real men have beards.....
Tell that to flair and tully...ugly men wear beards cause theyre insecure about their ugly faces
If I was a professional wrestler I would be Arn Anderson
NUF FUCKIN SAID!!!!!!!!
#Truth
Arn,Jake,Dusty,Folely and Kevin should teach WWE Heels on how to cut good promos. Punk and Miz are the only two in the wwe on how to cut good promos and R.Truth is crazy on his promos. The rest suck. Arn was one of the greats on how to cutting kick ass promos
Arn will open a can of whoop ass on the President,Romeney, The House and the Senate. Arn for President.
Jericho says hi.
Otherwise I agree.
The bottom line, my friend........
@preachcaleb Name the time and the place, I be there waiting for ya.
Luger disliked the video!
@freddy333ful Nobody ever period.
@TheLizardKing1967 Ooh, I ain't never been threatened over the internet. I'm sure your little facebook avatar looks just like Batista.
Arn is deceased. Just saying
ARN ANDERSON WAS ONE OF THE BEST WHEN IT CAME TO INTERVIEWS THE MASTER OF THE SPINE BUSTER.
YES indeed one of my favorite wrestlers!!
"David Crockett, a little time on this taped station is very expensive, but I'm gonna spend some of it."
*glasses off*
Promo class is in session. Sit back, shut up, and take notes on how a promo is perfectly done. When Double A took those glasses off, not only shit just got real, but as I said, promo class is in session.
Miss Jennifer Banks I had to watch again because of this.
I thought he was saying K station. Are you sure that he is saying taped station?
And when he says “the bottom line” and “measuring stick” in the same promo, you know it’s for real.
I wanted to be a great promo guy, so I took notes whenever the master was teaching
Professor AA at his Absolute Best!
This is the absolute measuring stick when it comes to stable promos. Arn made the team more important tehn himself and created a foundation for everyone to follow. Period.
I remember I was just getting into wrestling at the time and I remember thinking this guy is very convincing. Arn really made you believe wrestling was real- the sheer intensity of his promos. One of the top three ever on the mike.
I liked how when he wrestled he looked like he was really fighting a motherfucker. Rugged build.
They could make you laugh and they pulled you into the show.Today,well,they can't.
Arn was no bullshit, all business.
BlackMesaSecurity Absolutely- greatest TV champion ever? Double A, all day!
My dad and I watched this when it aired on tv back in the day. I consider myself lucky to have seen wrestling when it seemed real and scary. That bullshit out nowadays is rubbish. This was my childhood, and I’m grateful for it.
No one cut promos like Double A. Arn is right up thier with Jake when it came to cutting gold promos
When Arn laid that belt on the table....you knew the promo was about to be lit🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yeah, this type of interview style promo is now considered old fashioned.
But I guess it takes a special type of person to deliver quite like this so they stopped doing this in favor of you walking out into the ring, talk trash, bait the opponent to walk out too, and get the crowd involved somehow.

You speak of Arn as if you’d like to share a prison cell with him.
I don’t believe any wrestler had the desire to maim and cripple as Arn did.
AA better get the hall of fame! That's what made the Horsemen great, AA great mic skills, best tag team wrestler. Flair greatest on the mic, greatest wrestler! WOOOO
When they put all hands in...that's all I'm gonna say
Sadly, wrestling will never measure up to this level again!
True. Agreed totally
There's no measuring stick 😂😂😂
ARN ANDERSON IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE...THE...THE...I SAID THE.....THE FOUR HORSEMEN....PERIOD!!!
Arn was the best promo man in the business
bertlee20 You may right !
Facts
Awesome. One of the best vets in the history of the business. The Enforcer.
I am proud to be left-handed myself, and when I am having feelings of self-doubt, I will remember Arn Anderson. He never gave up, and worked his butt off! All the time!
Arn Anderson, you want the truth you can't handle the truth! These guys were Hollywood Oscar material.
Whew, back then you FELT what he was sayin. You truly believed he was TICKED!
@bilskie1 Double A was probably the best member of the Horsemen.
Nobody and I mean NOBODY before or after delivers a promo like a ARN ANDERSON!!!!!! PERIOD! END OF DICSUSSION!!
"Im lookin for you Luger...DONT COME LOOKIN FOR ME!!!!!!"
Should have had a title Run after Ric left for wwf! He had EVERYTHING!!!!
He is a straight beast on the mic
Who cuts promos as a group better than the horsemen?
Flair didn't say anything. Too intimidated by AA.
the four horsemen, forever the best! I from Malaysia.
@TheLizardKing1967 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. 3 o'clock after study hall. Name's Barack. Be sure to get as many people to watch by yelling out, "I'm gonna kick Barack's ass!" I'll be there.

I gotta say I prefer Arn's promos when he's more calm and menacing. He was one of those wrestlers that didn't need to yell to be intimidating.
AA is the MAN
AA Is the best at promos
NOT A LIVER SPOT, NOT A SPOT LIKE YOUR DOG SPOT, BUT MMMMYYYYYYYYY SPOT!!!!!!!!
Why has Arn Anderson never been given the opportunity to be a writer?
Raiderdawg71 No shit.
Unfortunately, they don't do promos like this any more. Now, you have to go to the ring and instigate the other guy to come out and face you. Try to get the crowd involved and os forth. I'm not sure if I could call those promos. To me, those are skits.

A good example is UFC. What those guys do are promos in which sports entertainment used to be.
The bottom line is, my friend, don't fuck with The Enforcer.
ARN-GOLD ON THE MIC !!!!!!!
Arn deserved the world title.
He's in the hall of fame as part of the Horsemen
Love this so much ❤
I never tire of the Horsemen interviews.
Neither will I
Oh
Double A Arn Anderson was truly The Heart and Soul of The Four Horsemen of Apocalypse. No question about it. In fact,he coined the group's name.
To think as a kid i hated these guys for being the heel, Now i'm older much much older i look back and think just how good the four horsemen we're with their matches and their promo's
This was when wrestling was something...The garbage out there today is pitiful,and I can't watch it.
You sat down, zipped your lips, and listened carefully to what Arn said.
Double-A always delivered on the mic!! Fantastic!!
Top 5
AA
Jim Cornett
Jake "The Snake"
Rowdy Roddy Piper
Bobby "The Brain"
You forgot Flair at #1. Yes you did
I like that list my top 5 would be no particular order
Ric Flair
Arn Anderson
Macho Man Randy Savage
Hawk ( Road Warriors)
Jim Cornette
Don't forget the" The Mad dog Buzz Sawyer...!!
Great actors!! Academy awards all around are necessary.
Believe it or not, Arn Anderson is three months younger than Lex Luger.
AA showing he's as good as anyone ever on the mic...
Woooo the four horsemen are in the building
Luger and his parents disliked this video!
No one! And I
arn was so fucking underrated
I know that had to piss off the other wrestlers that Flair, Arn and Tully always seemed to have a belt. They held those belts for years and there were only so many belts. Now-a-days if the title doesn't change in 30 days people are losing their minds. I liked wrestlers holding the belt for long periods because it made you think they were as good as they said the were.
Yeah Barry Windham said exactly that on the Four Horsemen dvd set, a lot of the guys in the locker room were upset and jealous about the Horsemen constantly holding the titles.
arn rocking that hairpiece
AA is the enforcer for a reason
Please need closed caption
Double A is Awesome.
hank needs to chill
Arn Anderson (Marty Lundi) with his promos made you feel it was all real !
i always saw a lot of arn in stone cold Steve Austin.
Luger couldn't wrestle a phone book...
Watch his match with Flair at Starrcade 88, and delete your comment in shame. Thank you.
Double A was the best on the mic.
Definitely 1 of if not my favorite wrestler he played no games. The Enforcer suits him.
This is a text book promo unlike what Vince gives us now.
One of the best promo you will ever hear
