Rewatching The Last Wrestling Show To Beat WWE Raw In The Ratings
7. What A Four Horsemen Line-Up!
While the Four Horsemen is one of the absolute greatest factions in wrestling history, the group had certain incarnations that just forever felt lacking. They may not have been used all that well at the time, but the October 26, 1998 episode of Nitro saw a Horsemen line-up that was magnificent to behold.
In terms of pure in-ring talent, seeing Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko stood together is the stuff of wrestling dreams.
Of course, this particular incarnation of the Four Horsemen also had Mongo McMichael as a member - with Anderson serving as a manager for the other four - but thankfully Mongo was missing in action on this edition of Nitro.
Sadly, this version of the iconic Four Horsemen found themselves in the midst of a rivalry with Eric Bischoff at this point. With Flair having recently returned to TV, the Nature Boy was doing his best to convince Bisch to allow him to wrestle again. Here, we find Easy E promising that Flair will wrestle on this Nitro episode - only to swerve us all by airing Flair's defeat to Hulk Hogan at the 1994 Bash at the Beach PPV.
