YMMV / The Four Horsemen

Go To

  • Base-Breaking Character: Sid Vicious as a member. Some didn't mind him being there, saying that his natural charisma already started to show while in the group, and even noting that he was the one trying the most to salvage the infamous RoboCop segment at Capital Combat (similar to how he would later try to salvage the infamous Shockmaster segment). Others think that he was still too green to be with such an elite group.
  • Never Live It Down: Everyone involved would like you to forget the time at WCW's Capital Combat in May 1990 where the Horsemen locked Sting in a cage and RoboCop came down to make the save. No, not some wrestler in a costume; actual, honest-to-goodness RoboCop (part of a stunt to promote the theatrical release of RoboCop 2). He plodded down to the ring, "broke" the cage to free Sting, and while Sting celebrated, the Horsemen backed down in fear. Jim Ross's commentary makes it extra-special.
  • The Scrappy:
    • Paul Roma, due to being the sole addition to the Ric Flair/Arn Anderson duo in the 1993 incarnation, which is seen as the weakest incarnation of the group, in great part due to Roma being seen as bringing nothing new to the table. Yes, the Four Horsemen at one point only had three members. (They were refered to as simply "the Horsemen", but got the Fan Nickname of "Three Horsemen".)
    • Steve "Mongo" McMichael, who was an American football player-turned-wrestler, and it showed. Even the harshest critics of Paul Roma will concede that for all his shortcomings, Roma was still a wrestler (though some say that Mongo had more charisma than Roma).
