Say Flair jumps when Arn and Tully jumps in 1988. Who would be the Fourth Horseman and would they have been better with Heenan as their manager?

Wasnt Barry Windham in WWF around this time? Super briefly in 1989. Personally, I know it's cliche, but put Curt Hennig in there. Other than him, maybe Rick Martel, make the Strike Force split about Martel joining them. |

I dont think Martel was slick enough for the Horsemen. I love Martel...but he wasnt cool enough, or comfortable enough on the mic. Not even close. His heel promos consisted of community theatre mugging and over acting.
Tough to not pick Barry...he was one of the beat workers in the world at this point...not that it would have mattered in the WWF of this era.
Maybe Rick Rude's character could have been molded to fit...but he wasnt a good enough worker to be Horsemen material.
Maybe Valentine.
The Horsemen usually had a "muscle" member...and looking at the roster...lots of muscle guys...but nobody could pull it off, imo.

I was thinking more in real world terms, Barry was only there a few months, June-November 1989. There is one other guy on the roster. How about Paul Roma  |

I remember an article in one of the Aptermags posing the question "Is J.J. Dillon trying to rebuild the Horsemen in the WWF?"
I didn't get that issue, I just saw the ad, so I don't know how it went, but yea, J.J. Was there at the time. My question was, who would lead them? I wasn't counting on Flair jumping, but you had everyone else.

I would have to give my vote to Mr. Perfect as well. I still wish WCW had kept him as a Horsman indeed of joining the nWo, it was a huge missed opportunity.
If this plan would have come to fruition in WWF though an Heenan was the manager would they have been calle the Four Horsemen or the Heenan Family?

Strange. I was only thinking this today!
Perfect is the obvious choice. Maybe Terry Taylor and not bother with the Red Rooster gimmick. If though they're looking for muscle, how about Davey Boy once Dynamite leaves?

Out of the box idea...but if you break up the Hart Foundation in 88, I think Bret could've made a passable horseman. He was a no nonsense, technical wrestler. He keeps his Hitman shades and just wears a suit more often. But the group still maintains their credibility with Bret.
The pink would have to go though.

Mr. Perfect, The Widowmaker and the Brainbusters as the Apocalypse of Wrestling, led by JJ Dillon.
I know this says Bobby, but what would he do with Andre, Haku, Rick Rude, and Hercules at the time? Would he sell them off to Slick or Mr. Fuji?
