Ranking 15 Four Horsemen - From Worst To Best
12. Paul Roma
Whenever discussion comes up about who was the worst Horseman, Paul Roma (pictured centre)’s name inevitably tops the list. Why is this? Well, Roma wasn’t exactly Horsemen-level at any point in his career, not as a worker, not as a character, not as anything. He joined in early 1993 and didn’t last a year, leaving the group to join Paul Orndorff and continue his career or middling tag-team success. Paul Roma should never have been a Horseman.
So why does he rank higher than such names as Sting and Sid then? Well, Paul Roma did kind of fit the Horsemen in a variety of ways. Miscast as a face for sure, Roma as a heel Horseman would have made sense. He was the smarmy self-obsessed heel look down pat. His in-ring ability certainly wasn’t elite-level, but above the likes of Sid, Mongo and Luger.
Paul Roma is the definition of a failed Horseman, but at the same time he doesn’t deserve the vitriol that was thrown his way. It’s just a case of wrong person, wrong time.
