    Default What was your reaction to Arn Anderson def. Ric Flair & Hulk Hogan in WCW?

    Hey guys, here's a fact for all of you if you remember this:

    Now, Arn Anderson has been considered one of the greatest athletes to never hold a World Heavyweight Championship and he has never held a US Heavyweight Championship and a WWE I-C Heavyweight Championship.

    But for those of you do know or for those of you that don't know:

    Arn Anderson has def. 2 of the Top World Champions in Professional Wrestling:

    Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan

    That's right, in 1995, Double A def. Ric Flair (twice) @ Fall Brawl and again, in a Steel Cage on Monday Nitro

    and in 1996, Double A def. Hulk Hogan twice in a row on WCW Monday Nitro on TNT via pinfall and via DQ

    and also, here are some more facts for ya:

    When Arn Anderson faced Ric Flair in 1995, Hulk Hogan was the WCW World Heavyweight Champion (His 1st reign lasted 15 Months) and when Arn Anderson faced Hulk Hogan in on Nitro in February of 1996, Ric Flair was the WCW World Heavyweight Champion (Thanks to Miss Elizabeth and her shoe)

    When Arn Anderson faced Ric Flair in 1995
    STING was the WCW U.S. Heavyweight Champion

    When Arn Anderson faced Hulk Hogan on Nitro
    Konnan was the WCW U.S. Heavyweight Champion
    STING & Lex Luger were the WCW World Tag Team Champions
    and Marc Mero better known as Johnny B. Badd was the WCW World Television Champion

    and so, Arn Anderson didn't face Flair or Hogan for the World Heavyweight Championship, but he did face The Giant (Paul Wight) now known as Big Show the night after Slamboree '96 on Nitro for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship

    and so, what was your reaction to Arn Anderson def. Ric Flair (twice) and Hulk Hogan (twice) in WCW?

    Please share your thoughts on all of this

    I remember reading about this a couple of years ago, in fact Arn Anderson was the first American wrestler to gain a pinfall victory over Hogan & Flair. I remember watching the Flair vs Anderson match on a German channel, it was one of those match you never thought would happen, it was a shame that such a huge moment in wrestling never gain the main event of that card. I never saw the Anderson/Hogan match until a couple of years ago, due to the fact that WCW nitro was really shown in the UK.

    I think it's common knowledge that the egomaniacs that Flair and Hogan were meant the people they allowed to get over were few and far between . So it just goes to show how talented and well respected Arn was. The fact that he beat Hogan and Flair not once...BUT TWICE .....EACH ....says to me that he even had the respect of those two guys .

    Was giddy as a schoolgirl the time Arn pinned the Huckster. I had forgotten all about that one.

    Was even cool with AA pinning Flair at Fall Brawl. OK, so I did have a major beef with Pillman for a minute there. Never held it against Arn though.

    Arn deserved some recognition after years of going about his business in quiet excellence.
    The internet killed pro wrestling
