The Rise And Fall Of The Four Horsemen 

Arn Anderson looked like that one cop in every '80s movie who drifts into a backwoods town and proceeds to kick ass. (Four)

The Horsemen vs Dusty Rhodes, Magnum TA, and the Rock and Roll Express is what got me into wresting as a kid. Amazing how their fingerprints are still all over wrestling today.

Curt hennigs wcw career woulda been much better had he stayed in the horseman and not went to an already heavily stacked nwo...hennig was a perfect fit for the horsemen!!!!

Imagine a horseman group in early 90s wwf, Ric Flair, mr perfect, The brain busters. Another missed opportunity

Flair, Arn, Tully, and Barry were the Best incarnation of the Horsemen

Hands down the faction I want my future squad to follow in the footsteps of! The 4 Horsemen will always be my all time favorite faction!

Another Rise and Fall video, another "pointless" comment to express that I enjoy these videos immensely as a source of interesting information and peaceful commentary to play as I start my day. Keep at it, lads!

The 4 horsemen were at their peak in JCP & when ole wasn’t a horseman anymore the decline began immediately!

Love when Ross does the voiceovers

If Chyna was inducted into the hall of fame through DX then does that mean Chirs Benoit is technically in the HoF as apart of the Hoursmen?

The whole original 4 are some of my all time favs

Perfect timing for this video after Arn and Tully looked about ready to come to blows on Dynamite this past Wednesday.

Babydoll was never their manager, she was Tullys valet and Tully was managed by JJ who became the manager for all of the 4 Horseman when they became a faction. JJ was present from day 1.

All my schoolmates were watching Hulk Hogan & The Junkyard Dog while I was watching The Four Horsemen, Dusty, Magnum & The Road Warriors. They had no idea who I was talking about.

Four Horsemen also hold the measuring stick for best stable theme.

I really appreciate this videos! It's also really helpful for the people who are newer to wrestling and might not know all of the history behind stables in general.

They hated on my man tully blanchard how many wrestlers did drugs, who he is and how great he was speaks for it self, tully was the glue, even the horseman said Tully's family, turned against ole, kayfabe or not tully was a genius, and now he's managing FTR, showing his brilliance and directing the pinnacle

Another important documentary. Thanks lads 👍👍

I am not that clued up on my wrestling history so I really love these kind of videos. And Tom's Wrestling Curiosities podcast.

Great video, Ross! Brings back many fond memories.

So I did the math... Arn Anderson was born in 1958. In 1985, when the Horsemen formed and he was a "hot young prospect", he would've been 27, so yes... he was actually a hot young prospect and yet he looked like he was 50.

Kendall Windham is considered a Horsemen by most pro wrestling historians. For example Dick Bourne, who writes for Mid-Atlantic Gateway, as well as many Mid-Atlantic territory related books has a book on the 4 Horsemen where he mentions Kendall Windham being a member of the Horsemen.

The last formations made me sad and angry. Wasted on a nothing feud with hogan and his croonies, then the NWO (hogan and his croonies again). It still annoys me to this day how the Horsemen never got to send their recipient for the Arm promo. Still a overall good review and retrospective!

4:00 imagine running out of time, so you gotta pull a line out of your ass, and Arn pulls THAT out.

Big bears fan here. Love Mongo as a horsemen. No other pro athletes could have done it

I found this entertaining and enjoyable. Thank you.

The Four Horsemen from 1985 to 1988 became so awesome and those are my favorite incarnations which included Ole Anderson, Lex Luger and Barry Windham

The Four Horsemen were the ultimate team of heels in the 80's of the NWA. They were the reason why I watched wrestling back then. Rock n Roll Express, Midnight Express, British Bulldogs, Steamboat & Youngblood, Road Warriors, Fabulous Freebirds, Koloffs, etc.

Love this Video Great One Guys!!!!

I love this series!

I will never understand people who put down Paul Roma being in the group while defending the addition of Mongo. I'm not even sure why people put down Roma to begin with, when just as a viewer the only thing the guy was missing was a proper push and maybe some more mic experience. Mongo sucked even at that.

The Horsemen with Windham are greatest Faction ever in my opinion based on ability as they were all at the very least good on the mic and in the ring.

It's a shame Ole Anderson fell out with pretty much everyone he ever met, in addition to getting ill like he did, because I thought he was one of the scariest-looking dudes in wrestling.

The Horseman are not the Horseman without Tully Blanchard.

I never knew lex and sting were horseman… those 2 were my favorite tag team

4 Horseman 4 Life! 😲 they dominated and won every world and tag team title that ever excisted! R.I.P. Chris Benoye!

The problem with latter-day Four Horsemen was that they didn't have anyone in the group able to give 'em one of these, followed by one of those.

I always wanted Dean Malenko, Midnight Express to join Flair with Jim Cornett as the manager

The horsemen should’ve been major players in wcw for years and probably would’ve. If not for the Bs politics of hogan and nash.

Mr. Perfect soooo should of stayed a Horsemen. In the nWo he was lost in the gold but as a member of the Horsemen he could of given WCW the Star power it needed and helped make the fight a little less one sided.

Outstanding vid about the best (imo) stable ever in spite of several weak-link members along the way.

About the only 4 guys in that era in any promotion who could actually wrestle

I played 1 game of softball with Sid...good guy. True statement.

Arn Anderson has looked 40 years old for the last 40 years

Great work

Great take on Arn!

Great video, Rossy drip drip x

Original 4 Horsemen were awesome. Tully was the best Horsemen. Windham version of the Horsemen had such potential.

My favorite was with Brian pillman Ric Flair Arn Anderson Chris Benoit really started to watch WCW first professional wrestling t-shirt that I bought for myself Four Horsemen t-shirt

The Dungeon of Doom. They were the 90s version of ‘Paul Jones’ Army’ from back in the 80s in JCP/Mid-Atlantic. Did any of those wrestlers in those groups ever win a match against a top guy? I don’t think they did.

"Sid was the drizzlin' shits"- Ole

This is great a video about horsemen business

Please do one of these on the von Erich family and the free birds.

GREATEST EVER!!! THERE IS NO OTHER EVEN CLOSE

When Berry joined that's was the best.

I'm sure most of us wonder if Ric Flair had his pick of the new wrestlers who would he choose to be one of the horsemen

The final lineup was the best IMO. Just a shame Arn couldn't wrestle at that stage.

Tell me why at 8:53 HHH when he made the group Evolution had his hair done the same way as Flair did back in the day during the Ruthless Aggression Era.

I enjoy these videos

It was nice to see Barry Windham get his due in 2012, when he was inducted into the WWE HoF. BW was an outstanding in ring talent and played his character perfectly.

So much horsemen business going on in this video

Windhams addition was the best version by far......he could do it All

Evolution was the quintessential Four Horsemen tribute.

Well done, sir.

I've always believed that a great stable has about a four or five year shelf life. The pinnacle of the Horsemen with the criminally underrated Barry Wyndham in my eyes. When that group split up it never reached those height again.

The Ice Man Dan Meilinko Chris Benoye Rick Flair and Arn Anderson! Whoooo! Kicking ass taking titles and names!

What happened after The 4 Horseman? Whooo! Evealoution is a mystery! Flair Orton Batasta and HHH!

and right now we got Arn&Tully going at it in 2021!!

I need to buy that guys shirt @2:00

Shouldn't it be "The rise & fall & rise & fall & rise & fall of the Four Horsemen".

The Horseman no longer existed after Tully left in my book.

😂It's a running joke with Conrad, co-host on Jeff Jarrett's podcast, that he was never a Horseman!👌

this video makes me want to conduct some Horsemen Business... 😏

Arn Anderson had full beard before puberty

TOP TIER CONTENT BOYS

Sid was awesome!

There is a lot of fire in these youngsters ~ Gorilla Monsoon

Don't forget MLW's The Dynasty.

I’ve meet both the Andersons good men quite and respectful. They would come into the place I cooked at. I was a huge fan just made my life to get to cook them breakfast

The four horsemen is the Greatest wrestling stable of all time Diamonds are forever

The very first day for Arn and Tully in the WWF was the same day Jacques Rougeau punched out Dynamite Kid.

Didn't TNA do something with the four horsemen involving ric , aj styles , Christopher Daniels, Frankie kazazerien , James Strom and Bobby rooode or is that mis remembering it on how this gimmick played out

I remember the 4 horseman as Ric flair,Arn Anderson, Chris beniot and someone else …..🤔

Shoutout to Jatkins, the real MVP.

I remain an apologist for this faction - the greatest of heel stables. I still believe Sting betrayed them by signing a contract to wrestle Flair for the World Title whilst a member. Membership in the Horsemen had its rules and Sting broke them. He deserved ten times worse than what he got...And he didn't look like Sting of the band the Police...He looked like the drummer Stewart Copeland.

Back in The80's... If 4 Dudes Ran Around Together, They Called ThemSelves "TheFourHorseMen", Due to "Wrestlers" on Network Television Using TheSame Name for Their "Clique"...or Team.

Bring back wtf moments cultaholic

I dont know the 1996-1997 horseman with injured flair, injured AA, Benoit, JJ, and mongo was pretty horrible something every week

Always Ready to Take care of some Horseman Business

Them mocking Anderson made his thing seem fake how fake you ask today is the day I find out it was real

The Four Horsemen were just entourage for Ric Flair!

wulda loved to see flair join AEW and put something together with arn n tully. i know the culdnt wrestle but still culda done something with that.

correction.... when Tully returned to WCW for the Horsemen reunion, he failed a drug test and was released. It had nothing to do with "failed negotiations".

They should've had the free birds vs the horsemen and for the 4th Freebird Chris Jericho a rocker.

I feel sorry for Paul Roma.he was great in Power and Glory

Some were good, some were great.. Some contained Paul Roma... Ouch

I'll always respect the 4 horsemen...as a kid I hated them...i was a lil stinger not a hulkamaniac...i only received nwa...later wcw at my home for a long time...didnt get to watch wwe till i was 15 or 16....despite the lineup the horseman r the best faction ever in my opinion....the original is usually the one most folks look to and they were awesome but my fav lineup was flair/arn anderson/tully blanchard/and Barry windham....then ya had the flair/arn anderson/Paul roma/and ole anderson(for like 1 appearance) was pretty bad....they bounced back later though by adding brian pillman and Chris benoit....then mongo came...and I still respected them....even the final lineup...i feel was not used as they shoulda been used with flair/benoit/dean malenko/mongo/and arn in the jj Dillon role....several factions have came about and mirrored or attempted to mirror the horseman....fortune in tna/impact came close....aj styles/kazarian/Bobby roode/and James storm were a great faction and worked very well together....even evolution in wwe with triple h/ric flair/Randy orton/and Batista was a horsemen like group....and now in aew we have the pinnacle...they have 5 not 4 but it's clear they r horsemen like...even their theme song is a lil similar...with mjf/shawn spears/wardlow/and FTR....w/ original horseman tully blanchard as their manager....its a good faction....

no shit, Arn was 27 when the Horsemen formed. It's like he aged horribly from 15-25 and then just stopped aging for the next 20 years.

Wait whar!!!!! The Horsemen without Barry.... not even right !!!!

What am I doing this weekend, horsemen business.
