[Necro]

Accomplishments

• NWA/WCW World Television Championship (4 times)
• NWA National Tag Team Championship (1 time) – with Ole Anderson
• NWA (Mid-Atlantic)/WCW World Tag Team Championship (5 times) – with Tully Blanchard (2), Larry Zbyszko (1), Bobby Eaton (1) and Paul Roma
• NWA World Tag Team Championship (1 time) – with Paul Roma
• WWF Tag Team Championship (1 time) – with Tully Blanchard
• WWE Hall of Fame (Class of 2012) as a member of The Four Horsemen

One of my all time favorites, as a single he was criminally underrated, and as a tag he was incredible with Ole and Tully. His promos with the Horsemen were always a must watch, and he was great teaming with Larry Zbyszko, and Bobby Eaton. Sad his career got cut short, because he had so much more to give.

Never heard of em.

One of the all-time great. I'd call him underrated just because most people wouldn't put him super high towards their top, but he'd at least be in my top 20 most likely. Think his fans kind of overate him due to that though bc they overcompensate him not getting enough love

Think his mic skills are severely overlooked nowadays though, his shit from the late and early 90s was phenomenal

 

[Hoss]

Nah really though, this some kind of CW Anderson cosplay jackoff?








Aight seriously this time. Arn is the man. Not a ton of sizzle in his game but fundamentally one of the most well rounded guys you'll find. The move where he'd rear back, pretending he's about to throw a punch, wait for the opponent to duck and then spike him with a DDT is GOATed. I do think he coulda done a little more as a singles guy but tagging was his bread and butter and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. As Chris sort of mentioned, it seems his reputation these days is that of an amazing in-ring technician (which he was) but I think he was just as good if not better on the mic, which is seemingly overlooked by a lot of people.

 

[Chris]

He did win "Best on interviews" one year in the early 90s in the Wrestling Observer so I do think his mic skills were recognized at the time at least, I just never hear anyone mention them now compared to his GOAT tag team run with Tully and what not.

The man is perhaps one that everyone should slightly mold themselves after as everything he did was smooth as silk, looked real, and had purpose to add to the match.

Rookie Arn Anderson back in 1982

After Mid-South owner Bill Watts noticed that he looked like a member of the Anderson wrestling family, Double A started using the name Arn Anderson in GCW in mid 1983. He started teaming with Matt Borne in the tag team of Destruction Inc

I would say that Arn Anderson has been doing a great job in helping Cody Rhodes in AEW.
