Arn Anderson

Arn Anderson once said about himself; "I have average size, average speed, and average strength. But I parlayed that into a great wrestling career."

While Anderson may have lacked the muscled physique of stars like Lex Luger, he was still a top draw in any territory he cared to wrestle in. Famous for his stoic, deadly serious promos and interviews, Arn was at least as good a talker as longtime friend Ric Flair, if not better.

His sense of timing and psychology was also unmatched, as he could drag a great match out of almost any opponent. Whether he used his spinebuster or DDT, he could end matches in an eyeblink.

Perhaps the only reason Arn never held the world title was due to his friendship with Ric Flair. Only one of them could be top dog in the Horseman, and Arn was willing to let Flair be the flagship. Famously, one fan called him a 'sissy' on the way to the ring. Arn stopped, looked the fan square in the eye and said;

"You think I'm a sissy? I'm getting ready to go wrestle in that ring while you sit there drinking beer. What makes ME as sissy?"

Fan: "You...you let Flair run the Horsemen!"

Arn. "That's right. I LET him. I LET him run the Horsemen."

Fan: ........
