November 16, 201311 yr comment_5572887 I dunno, I probably have seen way too much Arn promo's about "Everywhere I go, people ask me when I'm gonna put *this* back together.", and too much Flair going crazy talking about the Horsemen, and Pillman's Loose Cannon stuff hasn't aged very well with me, but this felt very much by-the-numbers to me. Plus there's no clear reason why the band would be back together nor explanation about how Flair & Arn settled their difference. Nor why they screwed up Sting for no particular reasons when the two big rivals of Flair in the past year have been Hogan & Savage. So yeah, didn't do much for me.
November 21, 201410 yr comment_5640931 So begins the last true heel run of Ric Flair where he's actually over as such. Arn warns us to be careful what we wished for, with regard to a Horsemen reunion. Arn puts over Sting strongly while Pillman and Flair re-enact the tag and turn in a funny moment. An explanation for all this would have been nice, but instead it just feels like a big reset button has been pushed on things, just like in 1990.
July 21Jul 21 comment_6032690 Out of context, this is a great promo. All three shine with vim and vigor. Brian Pillman definitely have watched his fair share of Double A promos, but he comes in with a ton of piss & vinegar. Mocking Sting as he is trying to tag Flair was really good. Anderson and Flair were on fire. With context, it is a little frustrating, whats the timeline here? When did Flair, AA and Pillman agree to reform? Was Sting always the mark? Or did Flair earn the respect of the Horsemen two weeks prior on 10/16 and then they concocted the plot? In classic pro wrestling, they wanted Flair heel and they wanted a big angle and they didnt give a shit how they got there. In any other medium, the producer or director would nix it, but in pro wrestling it is anything goes whether or not it makes sense. It is sad that pro wrestling doesnt get held to a higher standard.
