Of any group, WWE shouldn't try to recreate ones that stand alone as iconic in the business. Wrestling factions' successes and failures are often measured by others they are compared to, versus whether they are able to stand alone and be unlike anyone else in the wrestling industry. This was the case of the Four Horsemen, an iconic foursome (with various iterations) that does not need to be repeated for that reason.

While the constants were typically Ric Flair and Arn Anderson throughout the years, the names and faces changed. The idea of recreating the Four Horsemen in the WWE could be tied to the most talented and technically-sound wrestlers as it was in the 1980s and 1990s.

However, the likes of Tully Blanchard, Arn Anderson, and Ric Flair have always been able to use their abilities to convey emotion alongside the talent to deliver the most exciting matches. While a number of Superstars have the skillset to do all of these things, to replicate a faction with longstanding notoriety is impossible.

Even to have a Ric Flair-type at the helm in a managerial role wouldn't embody everything that this collection of talent was supposed to be about, in the present day. And some of their behavior as a faction — such as objectifying women — are rightfully not welcome in WWE any longer.
