You can order the ENTIRE Starrcast weekend package through FITE TV.
— Arn talked about whether or not he missed being involved in pro wrestling. There are two times – when it really sucks and he wants to go in and fix it, and when it’s really good and the fans are excited.
— When Ole Anderson found himself without a tag team partner in Mid-Atlantic, after the expansion down into Georgia, it was actually Junkyard Dog who saw the resemblance with Arn and suggested putting them together.
— On working against Ronny Garvin and his insane popularity during his rivalry with the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express: “I’ve never had as many grandmas try to kick the shit out of me!”
— Arn jokingly complained about having to start all of the WarGames matches because he spent half an hour getting his ass kicked and being bled dry, and then they’d save a crazy Road Warrior Hawk until last to come in and beat the hell out of everyone after they were already dead.
— “Tag matches are a beautiful thing. I don’t think you should be able to follow a world tag team championship match after 30 minutes, with the right four guys.”
— Arn said he ultimately left WWF after his first short run in 1989 because he was working so much, but the locations were nowhere near his home and he had a young child at home that he never got to see.
— He never had a problem that he was never considered “the guy” like Ric Flair or Sting, who were the poster boys and the guys selling major tickets. He loved being WCW Television Champion because it gave him the opportunity to have 15-20 minutes on television every single week, which was invaluable and somebody almost nobody had at the time.
— Tony Schiavone brought out Paul Roma being brought in to join the Four Horsemen and the crowd booed. Tony tried to quiet them, but Arn laughed and said the crowd just answered the question of what he though of Roma in the group.
— Arn didn’t particularly enjoy facing his “brother” when they finally had a program. He said he did his best to make wrestling “real” to him when he went out to the ring, and it was hard to go out and beat up his long-time tag team partner and somebody that was supposed to be his brother. He said his stomach was in knots, and questioned whether people really want to see Brothers vs. Brother programs.
— He remembers a time in the gym after having neck surgery, when a small guy came up and gently hit him on the back between the shoulder blades, saying hello. He felt an electric current up his back and down his arms, dropping his water bottle. That’s when he knew he was done, and told Eric Bischoff he wanted to retire, and wasn’t coming back.
— BREAKING NEWS: Conrad Thompson will be adding Arn Anderson to his weekly rotation of podcasts! It’s official!
Q: What did you think of Mongo McMichaels in the Four Horsemen?
“I loved Mongo!” He said it was all about selling tickets and creating great moments for the fans, and Mongo was a great guy who did his best and was a great member of the group.

Q: In your time as an agent for WWE, who didn’t get the spotlight that should have?
Dolph Ziggler. Luke Harper. “Heath Slater has something to offer this business!” He also praised Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas and said they bust ass at live events and didn’t get enough TV time. He wished the industry based who got time on which wrestlers could PERFORM, and said there’s not enough emphasis on it.
Q: Does WWE give proper respect to tag team wrestling?
“Nope. If they did, The Revival would be world tag team champions. And guess who would be their manager…”
Q: What tag teams should we be looking out for?
The Revival are head and shoulders above everyone else. Give your support to The Revival. Arn says they remind him of somebody… He also gave a shout-out to Bobby Roode & Chad Gable and said they made a hell of a team.
— Arn says that Roman Reigns should be a heel “Samoan kick-ass machine” because that’s what he is, not walking around smiling all the time. Says that AJ Styles, Seth Rollins and the guys who can tell stories need to be teaching because that element of story-telling is missing from the business largely.
