The Four Horsemen: WWE Hall of Fame Induction- Class of 2012 (Raw 1/9/12)

[PachydermSouthbound]

Ric Flair is in TNA,hes a traitor

[videozfann]

Should be Flair, Blanchard, Arn Anderson and Ole Anderson not Windham.

What is wrong with people that think Benoit deserves to be inducted? I was a Benoit fan no doubt but that piece of shit murdered his family. Benoit should not even get a mention or even thought of for this honor.

[393manu]

what is the song that starts at 0:48 publish please!!!

[Grimmjow0666]

whats that song in the backround

[kgp8]

It's cool that the Horsemen would be inducted. I wonder two things. Is the WWE inducting the original that includes Ole Anderson, knowing his views towards the WWE? Will the fans chant Benoit's name and the WWE have to edit them out?

[sleazebeaze]

@kgp8 No, it's the edition of the Four Horsemen that was comprised of Flair, Double A, Tully Blanchard and Barry Windham.

[kgp8]

@sleazebeaze omg I am not the biggest Ole Anderson fan, he's one of the biggest a holes in wrestling. However, Ole must be ticked off to the max when he heard he's not gonna join his fellow Horsemen comrads. That's like saying Van Halen being inducted but not inviting Michael Anthony.

[sleazebeaze]

@kgp8 Have to disagree. I think Ole was useless. The edition that is being inducted was the most successful. Ole was kicked out in favor of Luger, who was basically brought in to set up a storyline that would involve him challenging Flair for the title. But since Windham was a constant rival to Flair, it was brilliant to have him turn heel and become a Horseman and feud with Dusty Rhodes, who was his mentor, albeit kayfabe.

[PureDynamiteKid]

@sleazebeaze Ole was useless!? Besides Patterson and Stevens, Ole and Gene Anderson were the greatest tag team of the 70's. Ole broke Arn and Ric into the business and he was the brains behind a lot of the Horsemens ideas in the early days. Know your facts before you mouth off garbage like that

[sleazebeaze]

@PureDynamiteKid Sorry. Ole was BEYOND USELESS. Greatest teag team of the 70's? Rick Martel and Tony Garea ring any bells? How about the Samoans? Or Tony Atlas and Rocky Johnson? He was a lousy wrestler and an even worse presence at the microphone, because English was a second language to him. He sucks.

[PureDynamiteKid]

@sleazebeaze You have no idea what you're talking about. Johnson and Atlas were not a good tag team, they only defended the belts once and did not get along, they're Tony Atlas's words!. Ole's first langauge was English he was of Polish descent you moron. The man was a founder of The Horsemen, an original, no matter how much people bang on about Windham etc (who i do like) Ole was an original, he was a tough nosed son of a bitch and The Brisco's said Ole and Gene were the best

[sleazebeaze]

@PureDynamiteKid It's obvious that you are too stupid to know when someone is making a joke. When I said to Ole Anderson, English was a second language, I meant that he sounded like an idiot when he talked. Atlas and Johnson were a formidable team for years, with or without the titles. And if we're talking about teams that don't get along, Ole HATES Ric Flair and Tully Blanchard, said that he wants Flair to die a slow painful death. Ole sucks.

[PureDynamiteKid]

@sleazebeaze And once again it's very obvious you've no idea what you're talking about. Atlas and Johnson were formidable!? Ha! They had about three matches but idiots like you read on wikipedia that they were the firstt African American Tag Champs and assume they were great. I can guarantee a fool like yourself has never watched an Ole and Gene Anderson match, you know nothing, go away

[sleazebeaze]

@PureDynamiteKid And once again, you're an idiot. They held the belts for six months and were a team for a couple of years. Don't tell me, they only wrestled the time they won the belt and the time they lost it. And the Valiant Brothers were better than him and Gene Anderson, was were Fuji and Tanaka. Wipe Ole's sperm off your face and just admit that as a Horseman, he was worthless and even worse as a wrestler. Later, douchebag.

[PureDynamiteKid]

@sleazebeaze Watch the episode 'Soul' of the Legends of Wrestling Roundtable and Tony Atlas says that he and Rocky Johnson never made any money as champs as they tagged only a couple of times, but obviously you know more about Tony Atlas then he does. Moron. Ole was good, he wasn't my favourite but he has to be given credit. An idiot like you probably thinks Luger and Roma were the best Horsemen. Now you've been exposed as completley wrong, please go away

[sleazebeaze]

@PureDynamiteKid Considering that wrestlers didn't make shit for money back then, Wow, what a revelation. No, I think that Luger was a Horseman for nothing other than show to set up the feud with Flair and Roma was a waste of time as a wrestler altogether. Also think that after Arn and Tully left the NWA, the Horsemen as a unit had pretty much run its course. And if Ole was anything more than useless, why did he do NOTHING as a wrestler after his ouster from the Four Horsemen. Cuz he sucked!!!

[PureDynamiteKid]

@sleazebeaze Oh so you do know more about Tony Atlas then Tony Atlas did!? They didn't make money, not because they were poorly paid but because they rarley defended them! It's quite obvious your opinion is based on nothing but some irrational hatred of Ole Anderson, you don't actually know what you're talking about."Cuz he sucked!" What are you 8 years old?

[sleazebeaze]

@PureDynamiteKid For once you have said something that I somewhat agree with, that I hate Ole Anderson. Hate is a rather strong word but I do not like him as a wrestler and even less as a person. He may have been part of a good tag team in the 70's but that's where it ended, in the 70's. He was useless as a member of the Horsemen, and when he was ousted, his career was pretty much done. He is not being inducted because they are specifically honoring the 3rd edition that included Windham.

[PureDynamiteKid]

@sleazebeaze You claim the 70's were as far as Ole went in terms of quality yet Ole wasn't kicked out of The Horsemen until 1987. Did The Horsemen suck unfil then? No of course not, you just don't know what you're talking about. Prove me wrong

[sleazebeaze]

@PureDynamiteKid The Horsemen didn't even exist until 1985. And the survey says " Ole Anderson still sucks big fat donkeydick "

[PureDynamiteKid]

@sleazebeaze So he had two sucsessful years drawing money with The Horsemen. He wasn't kicked out, he left to spend more time with his kids. You don't know what you're talking about

[sleazebeaze]

@PureDynamiteKid Oh, I must correct myself. The Horsemen formed in 1986 and in March 1987, he was replaced by Lex Luger. So he had less than a year with the Horsemen. And he was replaced because they knew he was worthless. It's obvious that you have some sort of man crush on Ole Anderson. And why don't you go back a few posts where you said "... yet Ole wasn't kicked out of the Horsemen until 1987 ". Then you say he wasn't kicked out and left to be with his kids. You are an idiot.

[sleazebeaze]

@PureDynamiteKid Problem with people like you is you can't keep track of your bullshit. Before that, you asked me if the Horsemen sucked before 1987 when Ole was booted, but they didn't even form until 1986, You are a moron. So long, retard.

[sleazebeaze]

@PureDynamiteKid So I have figured it out. You are Ole Anderson and are relegated to talking about what a great career as a wrestler on youtube that your mediocre career was. YOU said he had 2 successful years with the Horsemen drawing money and I took you at your word. But the FACT was that the Horsemen didn't form until 1986 and he was kicked out in 1987 after a little over a year. And he came back in 1989 and was USELESS, that's why they brought back Windham and Sid Vicious.

[sleazebeaze]

@PureDynamiteKid SId Vicious may have been a joke as both a wrestler and a Horseman, but hey, anything is a step up from Ole Anderson. Now for real, I'm done debating what a worthless pile of shit Ole Anderson was. Now feel free to resume masturbating to an old photo of him.

[sleazebeaze]

@PureDynamiteKid And he still sucked!!!!

[kgp8]

@sleazebeaze Like I said, I am not a Ole Anderson fan. But come on, if they are gonna induct the Horsemen, the WWE should induct the original. Like if Vince inducts the nWo, he should put in Hogan, Hall and Nash.

[sleazebeaze]

@kgp8 They inducted THIS PARTICULAR EDITION of the Four Horsemen because they were the best version. Yes, Ole Anderson was an original member, and he was replaced by Luger. But they hit their stride with Flair, Windham, Double A and Tully Blanchard. It wasn't about inducting the Four Horsemen, it was about inducting the best version of the Four Horsemen.

[sleazebeaze]

@kgp8 The original version of the Beatles was John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Stuart Sutcliffe and Pete Best. And they went nowhere even though many songs that became hits were written by Lennon or McCartney with that version of the band. Wanna induct the version of the Beatles that included Sutcliffe and Best into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

[kgp8]

@sleazebeaze Do u mind if I PM u? I don t want our debate to overflow this page.

[Andy14104]

tna impact roster interferes at Hall of Fame

[TheWholEpicShow]

Ric Flair is on TNA Benoit is gone wtf is going to happen to this year's 2012 HOF other than inductees?

[NBABound08]

what is the song that starts at 0:48?

[oMitchFury]

Ric flair accepts hof

[ldh504]

The Four Horsemen are one of the best groups that ever did it,and Flair is in TNA but who cares cause TNA sucks and Sting sould comes to the WWE!

[ripTheRevPaulGray]

@ldh504 Lol you like wwe..sad.

Sting is smart by not going to ww-shit-e.

[TheLaidBackDrummer]

Its the 4 Horseman lol yes Flair is already in but he was a Horseman. Its only the original 4 (not counting Ole) not the others form later in WCW. and not just guys that were part of the revolving door of Horseman form over the years. So no Sting, Luger, Sid, Melenko, Mongo, or Benoit. Just the four guys in the vid, and Flair. I mean I guess if you dont count Flair, since he is already in, it is just 4 guys going in as the 4 Horseman haha Tully, Barry, Arn and JJ.

[fanaerosmith500]

ric flair again?

[tanjoosarbev]

four horseman forever

[SuperJuliusC]

Barry Windham?!?!?!

Fuck you WWE!

[m3xican3D]

sooo does this mean Ric Flair makes a surprise appearance at HOF 2012 and WRESTLEMANIA PLEASEEEEEEEE

[RIPdixiecarter]

Doesn't this technically put Benoit in the HOF?

[jeffhardynextwweman2]

@RIPdixiecarter No because there only inducting Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Tony and delony

[420DVD]

@jeffhardynextwweman2 who the hell is tony and delony? lol

[z3pp3lin15]

@RIPdixiecarter Lol I think vince found a loophole

[KingKong317]

@RIPdixiecarter it's a sneaky way of putting all of them in.

[thetutosxd]

DX for Hall of Fame 2013

[InFamousSpartan]

Does this count Chris Benoit being inducted?

[Nertrender]

@InFamousSpartan by that logic this would count as Mondo McMichaels and Lex Luger getting inducted.

[MekoUnknown]

@Nertrender Or Paul Roma.  Lets not even joke about that one.

[Nertrender]

@MekoUnknown or Sid.  yeah it is just the four they showed

[666gdep]

No Sid!? Haha!

[hazard2398]

goosebumps

[PureDynamiteKid]

To all those who are bleating about Flair being in TNA. I really don't think WWE gives a flying fuck to be honest. TNA are not competition. No one has heard of them outside the Wrestling Community. They've had top names and can barley get a million viewers. Out of respect to a legend like Flair they'll induct him with the Horsemen. TNA or not

[theking8701]

@PureDynamiteKid he's already in the hall of fame

[PureDynamiteKid]

@theking8701 I know that, do you think i've been living under a Rock? But he'll be inducted again. The WWE press release pretty much stated it yesterday.

[theking8701]

@PureDynamiteKid he wont be inducted again

[theking8701]

@PureDynamiteKid he wont be inducted twice

[PureDynamiteKid]

@theking8701 How will he not be inducted twice? He has been inducted once and will now be inducted again with Tully, Arn and Barry. I'm no Maths expert but i think that equals two. It's not so strange either, other Hall of Fames have done it. Eric Clapton is in The Rock N Roll Hall of Fame with Cream and as a solo artist. I don't see where your argument is that he won't be inducted twice?

[sleazebeaze]

@PureDynamiteKid And Eric Clapton is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with the Yardbirds, too. He's a three time inductee.

[PureDynamiteKid]

@sleazebeaze Indeed. Although i always though The Yardbirds were a terrible addition to the Rock n Roll Hall Of Fame. They're the Koko B Ware of the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame

[dgenerate707]

This is so late they should've went in with flair

[EvaIowaCubsFan]

Apparently Rock and Yokozuna are going to go in as well. I wish Macho would go too but the Poffo family would have to go with him.

Personally I am okay with that. Good wrestling family between the father and the two sons

[mosset4]

:37 says it all.... arn anderson has the

best spine buster ever...this was the best group by far.... all underrated besides flair.... now put Macho in!!!!!

[dapman76]

Ole?

[baderhouli]

@dapman76 exactly

[DJWtheKILLER2010]

aren't half of them already in the hall of fame?

[superiorsullivan]

isnt arn already in

[gryphonofmight]

@superiorsullivan No he wasnt. Its about time he is in.

[george2648]

Macho Man for HOF 2012 or we riot

[YanksR5]

@george2648 I really want Macho Man in the HOF 2012 this year.

[baderhouli]

@george2648 go riot

[PureDynamiteKid]

Flair should go in a third time for being The Black Scorpion

[mopaomokonzi78]

Im glad for them and Ric Flair is TNA and he will be Hall Of Famer for the Second time

[Lorenzana4]

WTF ric flair in hall of fame hes in TNA

[GurahkWeavile]

@Lorenzana4 He's ALREADY in the Hall of Fame. This is mostly for the entire gorup...and Double A too....

[daabbot]

why not ole? is he fed up with wrestling or somthing? but its about time. this is arguably the greatest most influential stable in pro wrestling.

[wwextacy]

Its obvious what WWE is doing, they did this cause if Flair dosent show up he'll look like an idiot creating heat towards TNA and if he does show up TNA will look unprofessional. Win, Win for WWE

[george2648]

@wwextacy yeah your right

[dgenerate707]

@wwextacy What would be funny is if he shows up with sting i wonder would they show on TV seeing it would give TNA promotion

[MrDj33]

RIC FLAIR ON HALL OF FAME IS ON TNA Are you serious?

[Xicedragonnx]

@MrDj33 ric flair already got inducted

[Nertrender]

@MrDj33 doesn't mean he will be in 2 and a half months.

[redblade0]

This counts as Benoits induction.

[Gorrrillla5]

so........Their gonna induct Ric Flair twice?

[YanksR5]

Brian Pillman, Dean Malenko, Lex Luger, Paul Roma, Sid Vicious & Steve McMichael they were original The Four Horsemen and they will not be in the HOF this year. Curt Henning got inducted in 2007. Ric Flair, Sting & Jeff Jarrett their in TNA Wrestling but Flair already got inducted in 2008. Ole Anderson was the biggest asshole back in NWA & WCW.

[Mrpakkkk1]

So.....Ric Flair is getting inducted.....again?

[BristolSpotterHD]

That awkward moment when WWE Induct the Four Horsemen and realize Ric Flairs in TNA...

i think theyre pull some strings and come back on wwe tv :)

[datlibra17]

hadn't even heard of Arn Anderson until i played WWE 12 lol

[ZackAllenLadd]

@datlibra17 How Old Are You?

[datlibra17]

@ZackAllenLadd 7 months

[TheStriker316]

@datlibra17 Are you serious? Arn Anderson was the great Wrestler to never win the World Title even though he should of.

[Sneezlebob]

@TheStriker316 Mr. perfect

[Mrfunnyw]

Wait a minute ... Ric Flair is in tna ! how is gonna show up ?

[TheMitchGchannel]

@Mrfunnyw He showed up at the HOF 2011 when Shawn Michaels was inducted so he might be there this year

[TKManUTD1989]

no ole(?)

[Argee11]

@TKManUTD1989 Apparently Ole hates Ric, hates Tully, hates Vince Sr, hates Vince Jr, and hates the WWE. So that's probably why they cut him out.

Regardless, the group was much more successful with Barry; at one point every member of that group (Ric, Arn, Tully, Barry) had a championship belt.

[TKManUTD1989]

@Argee11 i didn't know he hated all them people, i was referring to his racist comments towards tatanka as to the reason why he got cut out, but you are right in saying they were more successful with windham.

[YanksR5]

@Argee11 Ole Anderson hates Ric Flair, Tully Blanchard, Vince McMahon Sr. & Vince McMahon Jr. thats why Ole is not going to the WWE HOF this year.

[Argee11]

@YanksR5 ummm yeah that's EXACTLY what I said

[PowerStruggle555]

Ric Flair will make history, he is now the first man to ever get inducted twice.

[theGting]

The Four horsemen > Edge, its about time they all got inducted to the hall of fame

[5555charlie]

Its a shame Chris Benoit wont be a part of this because of that whole double murder and the suicide

[123MLewis]

@5555charlie theres alot of memebers not included anyway

[VanMieghemBryan]

ric flair gets two rings now?!

[minecraftgamingvids2]

FINNALY THE HORSEMEN ARE GOING IN THE HOF

[paul21mclovin]

jj dillon should be inducted with them. if i'd have to guess, i'd say dusty is going to induct them

[ducklinmo]

@puredynamitekid why not?

[TheBadboyks]

i'll be damned if ric flair becomes 16 times hall of fame inductee lol

[Moredread25]

Mongo McMichael is now in the Hall of Fame.

[PureDynamiteKid]

About bloody time! It's a shame Ole isn't going in though

[NationunderCMpunk]

@PureDynamiteKid Ole is bitter at almost everybody from Flair to McMahon

[PureDynamiteKid]

@NationunderCMpunk Dosen't matter. Stick him in there. If he refuses to turn up and accept it then that's a shame but they should do it. We all know the WWE HOF is mostly a joke but if they want anyone to believe it is even slightly legitimate then just do it. Same goes for Bruno. Plus it's not like people who were bitter haven't ended up going in. Verne Gagne, Superstar Billy Graham etc

[NationunderCMpunk]

@PureDynamiteKid you sounds like a smart cool guy so i suppose you know the rule "not on good terms with WWE, no HOF." i agree... such a shame Ole Anderson will not be there

[PureDynamiteKid]

@NationunderCMpunk Yeah. I don't blame WWE entirley in terms of the Ole situation. He is pretty bitter or angry aboiut the business in general. Still, the fact he wasn't even acknowledged in the video is disappointed. Hopefully Arn or Tully etc will mention him at the HOF

[tebomaister]

Ric Flair 4 the second Time, finally anderson!!!...VIVA THE 4 HORSEMEN!!!!

[elmarito007]

@2kpal10 True, but he was a guest, this is totally different.

[elmarito007]

Is ric flair attending?, cuz he has a TNA contract i guess until april or some, and as far i know no tna superstar can appear or perform in WWE

[TheBoomer418]

The Greates Stable in Pro Wrestling Ever. They pave the wave for the nWo and DX

[SPARTANBOY03]

All Hail The Four Horsemen , bow down to greatness . I met Ric Flair 2 years ago , I was honored that day to meet a legend like Ric . WOOOOOOOO !

[YungArsine]

I wonder Did They Only Use this Incarnation of The Horsemen because Ole Anderson Never wrestled for wwwf/wwf/wwe?

[TheGriglager]

@YungArsine Ole has said time and again he hates McMahon's product and that he will never appear on WWE television.

[YanksR5]

@TheGriglager WWE offer Ole Anderson to join WWE Home Video The Four Horsemen and Ole Anderson said, no. Ole Anderson will not be in the HOF this year because he hates Ric Flair, Tully Blanchard, Vince McMahon Sr., Vince McMahon Jr. & the WWE headquarters.

[GurahkWeavile]

This was overdue! Especially for Double A!

[rossmillsap]

@GurahkWeavile The reason this took so long is because Flair decided to go over and be involved with TNA for a little bit, but they should have been in before that.

[TheMr1724]

use metallica song plz lol !

[CultOfPersonality91]

ABOUT...DAMN...TIME!

[gamesyousef]

one the all time greatest guys i watched

[scottybazza5]

Hulk Hogans already inducted in the hall of fame, in 2005 he got inducted by Sylvester Stallone u pg piece of shit!! Come back when you know your history on professional wrestling n not sports entertainment!!!

[ShammyWoWLoL]

What song is this?

[lucas57048]

i do believe that the wwe should let Fliar induct them into the wwe hall of fame, they should have no problems with him attending while being with TNA as he attended the class of 2011 hall of fame still being with TNA

[jjv623]

@lucas57048 i dont think they allowed him any air time though, they'lll probably just see it as an advertising for TNA which theyre not going to want. agreed though, Flair really should

[lucas57048]

@jjv623 that is true WWE dont want to advertise TNA but i do hope flair inducts them

[8141933]

@lucas57048 yeah but ric flair wasn't on tv in 2011

[lucas57048]

@8141933 do u mean wwe tv ?

[THEVIPERSTRIBUTES]

@lucas57048 Ric Flair is in the WWE Hall of Fame. He was Inducted be Triple H !

[lucas57048]

@THEVIPERSTRIBUTES i know that i remember wwe made him retire the next night against hbk

[traviscatron]

Diamonds are 4-ever....Was that Benoits voice at the end or Arn's?

[Liam000077]

About Ole not being there, I've heard that he doesn't want to be in the Hall of Fame. Maybe they offered and he refused? Though that's only rumour so it could be nonsense for all I know. Anyone who can shed some light on this?

[Bigstarrocker9]

Where is Macho Man and nWo Induction?!

[GoldStandard000]

@Bigstarrocker9 You have to have Hall and Hogan there. Hogan is in TNA and Hall is not doing well.

[Bigstarrocker9]

@GoldStandard000 Last i check Hogan is not in TNA and retired from Wrestling for good and Kevin Nash resurfaced in WWE for a short time

[GoldStandard000]

@Bigstarrocker9 No Hogan is still in TNA. Scott Hall has his problems too.

[Bigstarrocker9]

@GoldStandard000 we both know of Halls problem especially with the problem with the bottle

[PureDynamiteKid]

@Bigstarrocker9 Hogan is still under contract with TNA. Obviously he's embarassed to be part of their company (who wouldn't be?) He's just collecting a pay cheque and Dixie Carter is stupid enough to still keep cashing it in

[Bigstarrocker9]

@PureDynamiteKid yeah who wouldn't be that company is a joke and i wonder not just Dixie arter but JJ -Jeff Jarrett- as well since now he is not the rightful owner anymore but i bet Bischoff is as Emberassed thinking he could've turn it into a WCW but ain't happening

[dukes01ify]

i am glad the horsemen are being inducted but i believe that double a and tully and barry a should be inducted has solo wrestlers

[natureboy1972]

The only problem here is that they have completely forgotten about Ole Anderson. He was an original and half of the Minnesota Wrescking Crew. He should be in as well!!

[DNotes06]

@natureboy1972: IMO, Ole wasn't forgotten....He's being ignored!! Ah well, WWE and the Hall of Fame is ran by Vince, so what can anybody do about it? Nothing.

Congrats to the rest of The Horsemen anyway!!!

[natureboy1972]

@DNotes06 Very true.

[sc30002001]

Chris Benoit should have been there

[FreelanNAmber]

They're saying Ric Flair'll be there. Hmmmm.

[xxxpatrickizradxxx]

how can they do this without ric flair? HE WAS THE LEADER

[jjsmooth23]

WHERE IS MACHO MAN'S Induction-

[MikeDelcanho]

so Ric Flair will be inducted twice?

[DJackExtras]

@MikeDelcanho lol Flair wont even be there cause of TNA

[ThemesNMusic]

@DJackExtras Flair is no longer in TNA

[DJackExtras]

@ThemesNMusic Oh wow, That deal didnt last to long. 

[2kpal10]

@DJackExtras Ric Flair was at the 2011 hall of fame when he was with TNA

[mrbigboss85552]

4 Horseman + WWE Hall Of Fame 2012= Epic!
