WWE: 5 classic Great American Bash moments  NXT will need to live up to

#5 The Four Horsemen keep all the gold (1988)

The Four Horsemen in 1988

When it comes to wrestling factions, none are more revered than WWE Hall of Famers, The Four Horsemen. In 1988, the group consisted of Ric Flair (the NWA World Heavyweight Champion), Barry Windham (the NWA United States Heavyweight Champion), and Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard (the NWA World Tag Team Champions). At the Great American Bash that year, all three of the group's championships were on the line.

All four Horsemen walked out of the Baltimore Arena still holding their respective championships.

Anderson and Blanchard (who would actually end up in WWE in the 1980s as 'The Brainbusters') defended their tag championships against the team of Sting and Nikita Koloff in what ended up being a time-limit draw (those were a thing during the NWA of the 1980s). Windham retained his United States title against "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes.

Finally, in the main event, the NWA World Champion Ric Flair held on to his title in yet another battle against one of his all-time archrivals (and former Horsemen member), Lex Luger.

This would be the Horsemen lineup that would eventually be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, and this Great American Bash event would be evidence of why they deserved that honor.
