The Four Horsemen is considered one of the most iconic stables in professional wrestling. Created in 1985 outside of WWE, the original Four Horsemen consisted of the 16-time World Champion Ric Flair, Ole Anderson, Arn Anderson, and Tully Blanchard. They feuded with many in the NWA including Dusty Rhodes, Magnum T.A., and The Road Warriors.

The stable in question evolved over the years and brought in different members who became major pro-wrestling Superstars. Some of these members were:

• Lex Luger
• Barry Windham
• Sting
• Sid Vicious
• Paul Roma
• Brian Pillman
• Chris Benoit
• Jeff Jarrett
• Curt Hennig

The group's legacy can be gauged from the fact that numerous successful factions would draw inspiration from it. Evolution in WWE was considered to be an extension of the Four Horsemen pathos as was Fortune in TNA/IMPACT Wrestling.

There are murmurs that another version of the stable could potentially form in AEW with Cody Rhodes and FTR. If the rumors actually turn out to be true, AEW would have Tully Blanchard and Arn Anderson to manage the group.

The enduring legacy of The Four Horsemen is quite evident in today's wrestling and it will continue to live in the hearts and minds of professional wrestling fans in the years to come.
