- Nobody had a career like Arn Anderson. For more than three decades he has been the epitome of “old school.” Hear him as you’ve never heard him before every Tuesday at 6am Eastern as you gives you a peak behind the curtain for the first time ever. Each week Paul Bromwell will examine Arn’s days in the territories, becoming an Anderson, creating the Four Horsemen in the NWA, becoming a Hall of Famer, and being a producer behind the scenes for years for WWE proving “The Enforcer” has a story unlike anyone else. Known for his trademark Spinebuster and incredible “promos” in front of the camera, it’s his timing and wit that has kept “the boys” in stitches behind the scenes. Hear for yourself why ARN is the new “symbol of excellence” in professional wrestling podcasting exclusively on Westwood One Podcast Network, Tuesdays at 6am Eastern.
Arn,I'd like to extend my thoughts and prayers for you and your family. May each of you be surrounded by God's love. Sending my best from Vermont.
I'll be glad when Arn feels good to start recording again. His podcast is my favorite. One of the few wrestlers I feel I can actually believe what's being said.
I started watching wresting in 1985 when I was 8 years old. My best friend had a Starrcade '85 Betamax that we watched one night during a sleepover because we were bored. I was hooked from that point on and 1985-1990 NWA/WCW will always be my favorite era of all time. I loved WWF at that time as well so I remember vividly when Arn and Tully went over there in '89. I had very mixed feelings because to me they were just too perfect as Horsemen heels and I hated to see them go. Their feud with the Midnight Express to me is still the best tag team feud of all time. But at the same time I was excited to see them work with guys like Andre as a heel stable. Very vivid memories for me here. Thank for posting.
You must not remember much because Arn and Tully went to WWF in 88 not 89.Sptember of 88 they were in WWF .
You're all class, Arn. Always have been. God bless you and yours, sir.
Arm Anderson is one of the greatest of all time.Much respect Arm helped make the four horsemen so great.
He's the one that held them together.
The andre storys are legendary 💯
Arn, Thanks for all the years of entertainment you have given us as fans. God Bless!
Arn did a great run-in and saved Tully again.
Yep.Arn made the save in the name of peace.Nobody wanted to be on Andre's bad side!😊
You don’t need to “SAVE” the CEO of Tully Blanchard Enterprises.
@@robertmoore8821 He ruled the roost!
It is how much the way he tells it that makes this story classic
I can't help but imagine Tully was sweating bullets while trying to be as calm, cool, and collected as possible. If I had busted Andre's bottle of wine I probably would have had to change my shorts shortly there after lol.
As a former QB, Tully should have been used to big dudes trying to squash him.
Andre was a bully thou picked on guys he knew he could bully Andre never bullied guys like Harley race rick rude barbarian haku Dino bravo or bad news brown
I would have probably tried to get into witness protection and have a new identity made for me if I was in Tully’s shoes! 😂
@@donjohn2695 Andre could run through any of them guys you just mentioned if he had wanted to.
@@donjohn2695 He used to throw guys into the turnbuckle and then back into them and let out a fart. He did the stinkface long before Rikishi.
Arn a class act all the way thank you for a long career
Thank you for saving the day sir.we need more people who, is responsibility as you show them. How things can be done ✔️
Someone should’ve told Andre Tully is the CEO of Tully Blanchard Enterprises.
LMAO!!
😂
Hilarious 🤣
lol
And JJ Dillon is Executive Director.
Arn spent more money on spilled wine at cribbage games, from one side of this table to the other, than you made that night Tully.
Great adaption of a greater promo. WOOO
😂
I love Tully
Watched Arn's first match. Classic heel from the git go. Watched him for years after that. Nothing but respect for a real tough guy, though I despised Tully. Years later. Tully found God. Arn has my utmost of well deserved respect. I mourn the recent loss of his son. God be with
you Arn.
Tully went to my church sometimes when I was a kid. He lived in Charlotte, NC around that time, and my town was about an hour and a half away, and he visited as part of his ministry. He became friends with one guy at our church that was one of the wealthiest people in the county who had his pilot's license and his own plane. That guy would fly out and pick him up for service sometimes.
Arnold must have had 600 stories flash b4 his eyes in that pause....
Arn is a class act Ive always been a fan.
Andre was a Straight Bully ....feared his spot Pure Boozer
I actually feel sorry for Tully a bit. Imagine being his age with the head full of regrets he must have.
I still have that 4 Horsemen shirt
NEVER get between Andre and his wine.
🍷 & 🍺. 😁
Or any alcohol for that matter.
The Giant vs the Wombat: the feud that never was.
I love Andre stories. I believe I had my picture taken with Ivan Putski when I was 6 or 7 late 70s somewhere in Jersey. I wonder how come I never took to Andre when I was into this…..
Arn is the best podcast going, especially with Paul B as host. Hope Arn & family doing well. Thanks for many years of entertainment. Paul from the UK. 👍
Andre was always abusive to Arn and Tully while they were the Brainbusters, one promo about Royal Rumble with Arn and Tully next to Andre and Andre declared heartily "I WILL WUN WOYAL WUMBLE AND DEES TWO GUYS ARE GOING OUT!!
Then in another for Survivor Series Andre bear hugged and squeezed mercilessly the heads of Brainbusters and Haku
Are you at the meet Andre when I was a kid. And he actually took the time to speak to me. It was a pleasant experience however he acted like an ass to another wrestler who had done nothing. Now let's remember something he wasn't always right. And everybody getting so scared thinking they were going to anger him was really unnecessary.
Class
Arn Anderson teamed with Jerry Stubbs on TV in NWA Southeastern in the early middle Eighties to defeat Andre The Giant. By the time that "Double A" arrived in The WWF years later Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, and Andre The Giant were all under the Managerial umbrella of Bobby "The Brain" Heenan.🤔😉🎤🐴💎👔👞👞👨🎓🍷🤼♂️B.W.
Arns shirt: I'm with stupid.
I loved Andre but its kinda crazy how every Andre story you hear is about him being a bully lol
Really cause Jesse Venture, Haku, Animal from Road Warriors, Demolition Men, Rick Flair, Jack Robert's all disagree with you
if this was your WWF run, Andre would have been barely walking at that point. It might not have been as scary as say circa Mania 3
I’ll take Arn’s word for it. Even a disable man can pose a threat to ur wellbeing.
Hogan had to carry that match due to Andre's back problem.
Arn had to pay just as much if not more for Tully's mess, than Tully!
Arnold is the same one Larry Zbyszko tells about playing cribbage when he comes back through the curtain after fighting the crowd and getting stabbed in the ass cheek.
Curiosity and respect….
And a country marches forward
Right !?
Andre shoulda became the Red Rooster
Arn Anderson would be looking for a new tag team partner because Tully would be six feet under.😁
WHY DIDN'T TULLY BE A GENTLEMEN AND BUY THE BOTTLES FOR ANDRE LIKE ARN DID??? THAT WAS TULLY BASICALLY SAYING
FU💥K YOU ANDRE 👌‼️
This is why Arn and Tully got a push by Vinny Mac as ' the Dad Bods ' in 1989...😂😂😂
Andre was gon smack the $hit outta Tully...LOL!!!
SInce Arm brought it up. How was a theif dealt with when he was caught and does he have any stories?
I'm sure Arn has a few stories to tell over the years on that subject and I hope he gets around to telling a few.
There is one famous story that happened in the WWWF (Vince Sr.'s territory) back in the 1970s. There was a wrestler who kept stealing the occasional $20 bill here and $50 bill there from random wrestlers bags in the locker room while they were out wrestling their matches. Gorilla Monsoon had the foresight to dangle a carrot to see if the thief would take the bait. Monsoon left his clothes and wallet folded open in plain sight with a $100 bill flopped halfway out of the top of the wallet. Gorilla Monsoon had a friend in the banking industry who had a substance that you could brush onto currency to "mark" them so that if anybody handled the money, their fingers would have a colored appearance to them, like a maroon or purple-ish hue to them that you couldn't just wash off with regular water and soap.
Anyway, Monsoon brushed this $100 bill with the banker's substance and left it flopped out of his wallet to tempt the crook. When Monsoon came back into the dressing room after wrestling his match, the $100 bill was missing. Monsoon clued in a few trusting people within the locker room of his plan including Bruno Sammartino. When the wrestler in question was prepping to go out for his match, his fingers were a dead giveaway as to what he did. Monsoon and Co. laid the beatdown of all beatdowns on this guy and dragged him into the showers and turned on all of the hot water spigots and left him in there to roast. Needless to say, not wanting a fatality on their hands, someone fetched him out of the showers and promptly threw him out of the venue and the guy was blackballed from ever working in the industry again in any territory.
just say it, ANDRE was a bully. an alcoholic. and just not a nice person. ive heard so many stories about him being a bully, yet he is a legend. id love to hear more stories of wrestlers that put andre in his place, i know they will be rare, but i know there has to be some out there.
3 or 4 bottles??!!
Andre was a bit of a diva it sounds like.
...a big-ass diva!
ALL REAL SUPERTARS ARE
His nickname was Boss… so yeah.
it’s not about being “a diva” it’s about being real MEN. Andre, Harley Race, Haku, Chuck Norris and yours truly ,Captain Cock-Strong…speak our names.
@@CaptainCock-StrongBack when drunk driving was no big deal
I find it werid that people are calling Andre a bully here for playing cards and getting his wine bottle broken through no fault of his own. If Tully had any brains and balls he would have just apologized and bought Andre a bottle like Arn did. And that would have been the end of it just like what actually happened. Tully was a great heel but you can tell have Immature and stupid he was.
Poor Tully, first time in his life he works out and he almost got murdered for it. Like Arn said, thats prob why he made a good heel, bc he was second only to cm punk for the most immediately punchable face in the business.
Ric flair said Tully would do the 500 free squats with him sometimes. Bet you can't do that!
@@BigBadJerryRogers As a matter of fact: i recognize the laughably trashy account name: you've trolled me before and I've had to thoroughly humiliate you, havent I? Thats why youve tried to hide this time, isnt it? 'to try to make it appear you've somehow 'won' some point of contention? Honestly, pee-wee, I know it isnt your fault that youre dense, but you can control being a coward. Also, hurry up, those excuses arent going to make themself.
Why were people intimidated by Andre?
If Andre didn't like you he could beat the shit out of you and there was nothing you could do about it, minus getting a weapon. He was too big and too strong for all the other wrestlers.
😅🤣😅🤣
Powerhouse zero wrestling abilities Hobbs
Andre is lucky that Tully didn't slap the taste out of his mouth, the same way he did to Baby Doll. Although, in Baby Doll's case she deserved it.
😂
@@shaunclifton5281 Your profile picture of Dave and Eddie is badass. Nothing tops Roth era Van Halen.
😂😂😂
Andre would have killed him
That was a work. Baby Doll was more than capable of fending for herself. At a card in Hampton, VA, she knocked out a drunk sailor when he grabbed her while she was walking by.
To me Tully was two small for his style of wrestling, he was to slow to be a heigh flyer like Owen Hart or a rocker . To me he was very over rated. And he only got were he got because of his Dad and the respect people had for him.
Jesus Christ!! I'm tired of listening to Arn Anderson cram so much verbiage he sounds so wangish in his voice. It's like listening to slow pitch bluegrass music
Arn is so boring 😴 🙄 😒
Boring story
Good thing no one cares what you think nor respects your opinion.
