Ric Flair On Which Current WWE Stars He'd Want In The Four Horsemen, Horsemen Member Rumors

On a recent episode of WOOOOO! Nation with Ric Flair, the two-time WWE Hall of Famer discussed the Four Horsemen. Flair claimed that Curt Hennig was intended to be a member of the Horsemen, while Jeff Jarrett was never a member. According to Flair, Curt Hennig was originally booked to be a Horseman in WCW. However, when the storyline got over with the fans, WCW brass decided to change course.

"It killed the town," Flair said regarding Hennig turning on the Horsemen and joining the nWo during the War Games main event at Fall Brawl 1997. "The bad guys went over and it killed the town," Flair continued. "It didn't do any business for anybody."

With respect to the popular debate among WCW fans as to whether Jeff Jarrett was ever really a member of the Four Horsemen, Flair gave a resounding "no".

"I think they talked about doing it, but that never worked out at all," Flair admitted. "Jeff's a great worker. He would have been great, but it never did take place that I'm aware of."

Also during the podcast, Flair picked a Four Horsemen stable from today's talent. Initially, Flair picked Evolution stablemates Triple H and Randy Orton, but quickly decided against Triple H because he is no longer a full time wrestler and thought Randy Orton would be too valuable to be put in a group at this stage in his career.

With Triple H and Randy Orton out of the running, Flair first selected Dolph Ziggler, saying that Ziggler is a hell of a hand and a really good performer. Next, Flair picked Seth Rollins. Third, Flair chose the Miz "because he's obnoxious and he comes across as irritating and he's a good hand." Last, Flair picked Cesaro, noting that the triple threat match with Cesaro, Owens, and Orton on RAW was "unbelievable".

On this episode of WOOOOO! Nation, Flair also talked about the death or kayfabe, his retirement weekend, and many other topics. To listen to the podcast, click here.
