[quote=EvosEvilTwin]I would kind of assume the legends we got this year was a combo of last years and this coming years Hall of Famers. Most Fans unless you are like Dr.Who probably dont know who Tully was and Windham eh kind of the forgotten horseman at times. But then again you got fans that refuse to accept Lex Luger, Benoit, Dean, Mongo and others as Horsemen lol so they are very loyal to the original 4. Out of the five (including JJ) only two are possible and we got Arn in WWE12 with Horsemen Music.
Flair is TNA. However, it will be interesting to see who else shows up as Hall of Fame guys who are already in WWE12.[/quote]
You got my attention.
Actually the ORIGINAL Four Horsemen were:
Ole Anderson
Arn Anderson
Tully Blanchard
Ric Flair
J. J. Dillon was Tully Blanchard's manager, so he was just at the right moment and at the right time ... so to speak.
Ole Anderson was on his way out for retirement and that's when Barry Windham came in.
(note: Windham is the son of the Legendary Blackjack Mulligan)
There were many versions of the Four Horsemen, but none compared to the version with Windham on it.
They simply had the in-ring technical skills plus the right attitude to sell the Four Horsemen gimmick.
There is also a very interesting story, The Four Horsemen stable gimmick was born off a fluke during an interview.
(in those days wrestlers didn't had a stupid script) so they say whatever felt good (following of course some bullet points).
They decided to have an interview together Flair the World champion, Blanchard the US champion and the Minnesota Wrecking Crew tag team of Ole and Arn Anderson, I think it was Ole that said something about the 4 of them together
were like the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
Those out of the blue words gave birth to the first ever stable of wrestlers on any wrestling promotion.
(not counting the old school of 1 manager with a zillion wrestlers used by many promotions before that because they had no direction like the Horsemen did)
