9 Wrestlers That Refused To Break Kayfabe
6. The Enforcer Still Protects The Business To This Day
The Keith Richards to Ric Flair's Mick Jagger, the originator and backbone of wrestling's greatest ever faction, The Four Horsemen, The Enforcer Arn Anderson is legendary for protecting the business.
One of the words most associated with Anderson is underrated. A master of psychology and drama, The Enforcer would prove himself to be one of professional wrestling's greatest ever ring generals, a technical wrestler par excellence with a mean line in vicious brawling. Along with Harley Race, Anderson would be a young Paul Levesque's blueprint for the perfect professional wrestler - you can see Anderson in Triple H's moveset even today in that snapping spinebuster.
Being the legend that he is, having worked for both WCW and WWF/E over the course of his long career, Anderson has been a perennial talking head in WWE-produced DVD and Blu-Ray documentaries for years now. Watch enough of them, and you'll notice a common theme... Arn Anderson never breaks kayfabe. While other interview subjects will waver between storyline and real life, Anderson will remain focused, ultra-careful never to talk about a subject a way that might betray the business - a business that was exposed decades ago.
Watching Arn Anderson talk, you'd actually think that he believes that professional wrestling isn't scripted or choreographed, and that every one of his matches has been the genuine sporting article.
Now that's commitment to the business.
