Arn Anderson (Alive)

Along with Ric Flair, Ole Anderson and Tully Blanchard, Arn Anderson was one of the original Four Horsemen. A native of Rome, Georgia, Anderson began his professional wrestling career in 1982. In the early '80s, Anderson captured four NWA Southeastern Tag Team Championships (three times with Mr. Olympia and once with Buddy Rose). In 1985, the "Minnesota Wrecking Crew" of Arn and Ole Anderson won the NWA National Tag Team Championship. The two wrestlers soon formed an alliance with Flair and Blanchard to form The Four Horsemen, frequently feuding with the likes of Dusty Rhodes, the Road Warriors, Magnum T.A. and the Rock 'n' Roll Express, among others. In 1987, Anderson and Blanchard defeated the Rock 'n' Roll Express to capture the NWA World Tag Team Championship. Anderson and Blanchard would later compete in the National Wrestling Alliance and World Wrestling Federation as "The Brain Busters," a formidable duo that defeated Demolition for the WWF Tag Team Championship in 1989. He then left the WWF for World Championship Wrestling and won the WCW World Television Championship in 1991, as well as teamed with Larry Zbyszko as "The Enforcers" to capture the WCW World Tag Team Championship. The Four Horsemen briefly resurfaced unsuccessfully in 1993 with both Andersons, Flair and new member, Paul Roma. Anderson captured his last title, the WCW World Television Championship, in 1995 and retired from the ring two years later. Today, Anderson serves as the senior producer of WWE Raw.
