If you're not a regular listener of Ric Flair's podcast, you likely missed out on "The Nature Boy" answering a question from a fan on who he would put in a 2015 version of The Four Horsemen. You might be surprised by his choices, too.

After attempting to put Triple H and Randy Orton in and realizing the many reasons that wouldn't work, Flair came up with the following four names:

POWERED BY

OnStar

The Connected Car: From crowdsourced apps to in-car Wi-Fi

The Connected Car: From crowdsourced apps to in-car Wi-Fi

POWERED BYONSTAR

Dolph Ziggler

The Miz

Seth Rollins

Cesaro

That's one hell of a crew. Rollins provides the main event level heeling, Cesaro is the muscle, Ziggler is the bumping great worker, and Miz is the guy getting a ton of heat on all of them. I don't know that this is who my four would be, but you wouldn't have to spend much time selling me on why it would work.

not bad not bad at all. i can see stable like this working but just dont call em the horsemen.

matter fact this could've easily been done if this was the authority's chosen...the champ, the muscle, the prettyboy and movie star

I wish but if you notice, WWE chooses it's own champs and what they want as a fan favorite instead of the ppl. If the WWE allowed the fans to decide, we would still be in the raw is war era and not having these cheesy watered down pg champs.

If this was any other wrestling not named WWE, we would have KO, Cesaro, Ziggler, Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Dean Ambrose, Daniel Bryan and Brock Lesnar as world champs.

I don't think Big E would even be a comic routine but an actual intimidating wrestler giving you the 5 time move. We would actually see African American talent and an actual talented black champion that's not chuck and jiving.

Uhaa nation would not be Apollo Crews but an actual talent on the rise in the roster. Seth Rollins would have his signature curb stomp and not troll the audience riding authorities balls.

yep, but its a business, politics and what he THINKS will draw are factors i suppose

 

[RawAce]

I used to hate it but now I respect it. It's VKM's product. His vision, his money, his baby.

He runs his shit they way he wants and sells u a product. The product is his brand, his take on professional wrestling.

He isnt forcing anyone to buy in.

People jus act entitled.

 

[dalyricalbandit]

the way i see it if u were in Vince's shoe would ya give up the Millions and millions of sponsors dollars Vince/WWE gets to run WWE pg?

Cause as much as i would like WWE to go back to the late 90's-05ish era style i aint given up those hundreds of millions either

 

[BangEm_Bart]

I would. Part of expanding a brand or company and making great business decision is making sacrifices. If you don't then business becomes stale, stagnant and boring.

Everyone's looking for the next big move but nothing happens. He can easily captivate an audience by diversifying it to our generation. Minority champs, new talent and fresh faces as new champs will actually bring in more money. So many fans with KO, Cesaro, Ziggler, Miz action figures. A new day and many more different personalities. No more Big Slow or Glen riding the coattails of authority. They need to reinvigorate this shit ASAP cause I know many ppl even kids that don't watch wrestling anymore. They keep pushing that 9.99 ad to bring in more revenue but noone wants to see it anymore. Fans are slowing turning the channel.

What good is those sponsored $$$ if TV & PPV ratings continue to go down every week/month if people just tune out the shows though? I get what you're saying though.

 

[Peezy_Jenkins]

i blame pg for the product not being edgy and what not

the product only being good for 1 total hour outta 3(5 if u include smackdown) is something different and something that needs to be improved whether its pg or not

nxt is pg and it is a superior wrestling product easily some weeks.

[Already Home_17]

creative is the problem today

not the pg rating

So basically, Hogan got railroaded

 

[jono]

Nobody has ever been fired for racism...so why start now?

Thats all i get from the complaints. Who cares?

I think 99% of the time people take their eye off the ball in order to point out flaws.

If they didnt fire Hogan then people would say "when are they ever going to learn?" but then you fire the guy and your a hypocrite for not firing some guy 5-10-15-20-25 years ago.

Imo, I know that WWE makes it's money from the sponsors/ads every week on RAW but to be honest I think 3 hrs of wrestling is a lot to ask of people every week especially when the writing isn't very good. I think RAW honestly should go back to the 2 hr format & put more focus on Smackdown because man that show is shitty I refuse to watch it.

[RawAce]

What was the leo kruger gimmick everyone keeps saying adam rose should go back to?

[willhustle]

During a match against Billie Kay at last week's NXT tapings, Eva Marie forgot to kick out at two for a near fall. The referee, knowing that the match was not suppose to end like that held up his hand but the crowd went ballistic and got on the referee's case for not making the three count.

Eva ended up winning the match but the crowd crapped on her after they realized what had happened.

- According to F4WOnline.com, there is something described as "huge" being rumored to take place on Monday's post-Summerslam RAW. At this point, no further details have been given on what that might be.

I hope they can keep it a secret so we can all be legitimately surprised tomorrow night
