Arn Anderson - Trailblazer

[JN News 0]

We all know that Arn Anderson was always "The Enforcer" of The Four Horsemen. I have a notion that pretty soon, many other historic factions like The Hart Foundation and D-Generation X had their own appointed "Enforcers" to lead their fellow faction members to victory. DX, for the better part, always had Chyna to deliver the "low blow" to the competition in order to gain victory for DX. In my EWR senarios, I have Jim Neidhart in the role as "The Enforcer" of The Hart Foundation. IMO, The Anvil should've been pushed as the Hart Foundation's "Enforcer". Some say that Bam Bam Bigelow was "The Enforcer" of the ECW Triple Threat, while some people say that Batista was "The Enforcer" for Evolution.

 

 

 

 

My question is, do you think Arn Anderson made it a trend to be an "Enforcer" of a wrestling stable? I'd like to think so. I think it would make a great credit to add to the legacy of Double A, because he was the man who helped Ric Flair carry the Horsemen load all those years. Your thoughts?

Nah. Wrestlers filled that role long before Arn Anderson came along. Anderson didn't really create anything new to my knowledge, but he was very good in all aspects of his game.

Maybe he didn't create it, but he certainly took that role to the next level. Back in my mark days, he was the one I actually was more afraid of out of the Horsemen.. he did the most dirty work save perhaps Tully Blanchard, his promos were straight forward and to the point.. he could say the same thing in ten words that would take Flair fifty. His in ring work was very solid, though his time tagging with Ole really tightened that up.

That is a good point about tagging with Ole as the perception of Arn early on was that he wasn't good enough to be an "Anderson". But yeah he evolved into something that was great all around. The guy could make even some of the most basic stuff exciting to watch.
