10 of professional wrestling's funniest moments

#7 The nWo roasts Arn Anderson and the Four Horseman

The nWo pay homage to Arn Anderson, roast style.

There are few wrestlers in the locker room of any era, any promotion, who garner more respect than the Enforcer Arn Anderson. A master on the microphone, his clear, succinct and authoritative speaking voice was one of the best in the business. Mixing technical skill with pure brawn, Arn Anderson is also one of the best wrestlers to never hold a major singles title.

When he was forced to retire in 1997 -- all too soon by the estimation of many -- Arn gave an emotional speech which also served to put over the newest Horseman, Curt Hennig.

Alberto Del Rio returning to WWE?

Of course, the nWO, at the time the Darth Vader of pro wrestling, couldn't just let Arn have his moment. They sent him out with a roast, and many people believe it crosses the line. You can judge for yourself below.
