## WCW and Four Horsemen(1990-1991)

Arn Anderson made his WCW debut at Capital Combat as Ric Flair, Sting and Ole Anderson kicked out Barry Windham from the Four Horsemen and Arn joined them. Arn served as the enforcer to the group until Halloween Havoc as Arn joined Larry Zbyszko and beat up Doom with Zbyszko being the new member of 4HM. At Starrcade 1990, The Enforcers defeated Doom

Sting betrayed Ric Flair and left 4HM and at Superbrawl 1, Arn and Zbyszko defeated former 4HM members Sting and Barry Windham. Four Horsemen continued their feud against Sting which now involved Dusty Rhodes and his son, at Great American Bash Sting, Dusty, Luger and Windham defeated Flair, Sid and The Enforcers and afterwards all of Four Horsemen left Flair alone in the ring breaking them up

## The Enforcers, Dangerous Alliance and multiple feuds(1991-1993)

Cactus Jack was attacked by The Enforcers backstage for an unknown reason until they attacked Vader and joined Rick Rude, Stunning Austin and Paul Heyman as member of the Dangerous Alliance.

At Starrcade 1991, The Enforcers and Austin defeated Vader in a handicap match. They finally became tag team champions at Wrestlewar 1992 defeating The Police as Dangerous Alliance held all the WCW gold. After a win against Sting and DDP in an october episode of Saturday Night, they announced they were going on vacation until Starrcade but at Halloween Havoc, The Police cashed in and forced Arn and Zbyszko to come out and they ended up losing the tag titles

At Starrcade 1992, Arn was in the final 4 of the battlebowl battle royal but was eliminated by Barry Windham. Sting became WCW Heaviweight champion and Windham declared himself as the best Four Horsemen member which got Arn's attention. At Superbrawl 3, Sting defeated Windham to retain the title and The Enforcers ran to the ring to stop Windham from attacking Sting with a chair but Zbyszko turned on Arn with a DDT as this quickly turned into a fourway feud to determine the best 4HM member(not named Ric Flair). At Slamboree Sting defeated Windham, Arn and Zbyszko to retain the title. His feud against Zbyszko culminated at Beach Blast as Arn defeated him

Arn won the TV Championship in an october episode of Saturday Night defeating Barry Windham only losing it at Starrcade to Brian Pillman in a noneventful reign

## Re-joining Four Horsemen(1994-1996)

Eric Bischoff made a tag team tournament of brand new teams so teams could be created as the division was almost empty, Arn chose Paul Roma as his partner and they managed to enter the finals against Brad Armstrong and Stan Lane but Steiner Bros returned, entered the match and won to become NO1 contenders to the tag belts

At Fall Brawl, Brian Pillman, Paul Roma and Arn Anderson beat up Dungeon of Doom and aided Ric Flair as they re-formed Four Horsemen. At Halloween Havoc, they defeated DOD in a wargames match to get a tag title shot at Starrcade which Roma and Arn won defeating Armstrong and Lane but after the match, Lex Luger attacked Roma and replaced him in the 4HM as the titles were freebird'd.

At Slamboree, Steiner Brothers defeated Luger and Arn to win the tag titles after a long series of matches against each member of 4HM

All of 4HM turned babyface after Starrcade 1995 as they let Sting join them, Arn and Luger continued in the tag team division and were the only 4HM members remaining after New World Order made their debuted and injured both Sting and Flair, they entered a feud with NWO which involved them faking that Sting was part of NWO which Arn and Flair believed while Luger didn't which caused dissension within the horsemen. At Hog Wild, Arn, Flair, Savage, The Giant and Ricky Steamboat lost to NWO in a wargames match so NWO became owners of WCW

NWO decided that everyone who was on Team WCW could not compete on PPV's anymore but the exception was if they were NWO TV champions, they made the inaugural championship match Arn Anderson vs Ric Flair which Arn won, they had a rematch and Ric Flair lowblowed Arn to become the champion. At Halloween Havoc, Savage, Flair and Arn defeated Hogan, Nash and Hall to get their PPV spots back but after the match Arn attacked Flair but also refused to join NWO

## Feud against DDP, in ring retirement and The Resistance(1996-1997)

Arn decided he wanted a new Four Horsemen but with him as the leader, he decided to include the first three people that could beat him or impress him in singles competition which were Steven Regal, Chris Benoit and DDP. Arn started becoming more hardcore in his matches while the rest of the horsemen were more wrestling oriented which ended up with DDP challenging Arn for the leadership spot and at Starrcade DDP defeated Arn kicking him out of his own Four Horsemen

The following Nitro Arn announced his retirement from in ring competition as he had his last match against Ric Flair which Flair won. Arn had his retirement speech which involved Larry Zbyszko and Tully Blanchard and DDP showed up to shake Arn's hand as he turned face, Arn revealed that he wanted to be WCW's owner and NWO better be ready because he was gonna give them everything he's got

He returned 4 months after during NWO's celebration of Curt Hennig becoming WCW Heaviweight champion, Arn pointed to the ring and out came Randy Savage, Los Guerreros, Steiner Brothers, Ultimo Dragon and Jeff Jarrett as they all took down NWO, this was The Resistance group, Arn's plan to takedown NWO. They managed to get huge upperhands against every member of the order even beating them in a wargames match which got them all WCW Heaviweight title shots against Hogan but Hogan beat every single one of them. Arn hyped up a "leader" of The Resistance and Hogan promised to put NWO's ownership on the line if that leader ever showed up. All of them walked out on Arn as they lost faith on him but at World War 3 Arn finally revealed the leader of The Resistance: Sting who won the WW3 match to become NO1 contender to the WCW Heaviweight Championship

Sting defeated Hogan at Starrcade 1997 in 1 minute and 43 seconds for Arn Anderson to take over as WCW's owner

## Owner of WCW(1998-1999)

Arn's first order of business was that no member of NWO could compete for a world title shot until july so things could be freshened up. He made a deal with The Mob which was unknown until november of that year, Arn said The Resistance was over as they had achieved their goal but for some reason Eddie Guerrero wanted a 1 on 1 match against Arn. Slowly, things started being revealed as Arn only saw The Resistance as paws until Sting was ready to return and they were never meant to become world champions, this pissed off everyone and Eddie defeated Arn at Superbrawl VIII with this animosity

With Ric Flair's retirement, Arn decided to sign him as the co-owner of the company, he also got an assistant in Brian Adams who showcased a point system for the NWO Civil Wars which was dropped right before World War 3 which ended with NWO Wolfpac taking the win. NWO Hollywood tried taking over WCW again but The Mob beat them down which was the original deal they made with Arn in january

Arn fired Flair from his position after The Hacker revealed that Flair used his power to help his son be put in a better position within NWO Wolfpac. Arn randomly turned heel at Nitro 245 in a fatal 4 way for the WCW Heaviweight title ensuring Sting didn't win it, they had a US title match the following week where Sting retained and Arn was back as a babyface the week after that

Chuck Palumbo nearly killed Arn in his offices as he demanded a heaviweight title shot, due to this and WCW overall not going the path where he wanted, he stepped down as owner of WCW and made a match between Ric Flair and Larry Zbyszko to determine the new owner which Flair won
