Whether they were stylin' and profilin' or breaking the ever-loving hell out of Dusty Rhodes' arm, The Four Horsemen were the definition of cool during the mid-to-late 1980s.

There was Ric Flair, the braggadocios champion who conquered women like he did his top contenders. He wore the most expensive clothing and spoke with supreme confidence.

Arn and Ole Anderson were the enforcers of the group, the legitimate badasses who would chomp at the bit to unleash fury on anyone opposing the legendary foursome.

Then there was Tully Blanchard, the consummate heel who was as arrogant and confident as he was vicious and violent. He would not hesitate to brutalize a foe, scraping their face into the arena floor if it meant gaining a competitive edge for him and his partners.

The Horsemen were pro wrestling excellence and they knew it, their cockiness backed up by their tremendous performances between the ropes. Rarely had a heel act professed its greatness, then proved it on the grandest stages. That helped elevate The Four Horsement to the Mount Rushmore of coolness in NWA/WCW.
