In 1997, Arn Anderson was scheduled for spinal fusion surgery that would reduce his pain and allow him to continue to wrestle. Unfortunately, he put the surgery off for so long there was too much damage for a fusion. He was forced to retire and had a send-off speech that did more to get over new Horseman Curt Hennig than putting a capstone on his career.

The following week, the nWo parodied the retirement speech in a moment that was more insulting than funny. Still, Arn is a consummate professional, and he never regretted using his retirement speech for storyline fodder.
