WWE: 12 Most Powerful Stables In Wrestling History

2. The Four Horsemen

Significant Members: Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, Ole Anderson, Barry Windham, Lex Luger, J.J. Dillon. The Four Horsemen are the gold standard of wrestling stables. Originally formed in 1986 by NWA World Champion Ric Flair, his "cousins" Ole and Arn Anderson as well as Tully Blanchard and his manager J.J. Dillon, the Horsemen were at the center of some of the hottest angles ever. They were the quintessential heels. All four men were excellent talkers and workers and able to have great matches with anyone. Any wrestler who stepped in against a member of the Horsemen always came out of the match looking like a star. Their rivalries with Dusty Rhodes, the Rock 'n Roll Express, Sting and the Road Warriors are the stuff of legend. There have been many incarnations of the Horsemen throughout the years. Flair himself prefers the version with Barry Windham, and it's hard not to agree, although the original unit and the group featuring Lex Luger were excellent as well. Perhaps the most incredible thing about the Horsemen was their ability to stay relevant off and on for nearly 13 years, and with 16 different members. To this day, whenever a former Horsemen appears on television or in arenas they're greeted by fans with the four finger salute. Memorable Moments: Practically too many to name: breaking Dusty's ankle and hand, turning on Ole, turning on Sting, countless classic matches, Flair's return and reformation in 1998. Why They Were Powerful: Their legacy can never be questioned. They set the standard by which all factions will forever be judged. Gifted in all aspects of professional wrestling and being involved in some of the greatest matches in history, the Four Horsemen are second to none.
