Arn Anderson On Why Fit Finlay Is So Valuable Backstage

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.

I'd argue Dutch Mantell with Gail Kim and Awesome Kong were just as important to the Womens Revolution in American wrestling ss anybody else!!

Exceptional teacher, but didn’t know how to sell. That’s why he never got over until later in his career while working with Hornswaggle

Finlay is just a once in a generation sort of guy. My first experience with him was his run in WWE on Smackdown back in the mid 2000s, and his style just really was so different, he felt so...legit. At that point I hadn't seen anybody who worked as....snug as Finlay before. He just felt like he could get into a fight with anybody on the roster in that era and he would have won. And I'm not talking a wrestling match or even an MMA fight, I am talking in an allyway with no rules. Then him and William Regal had that insane match on Smackdown where they absolutely pummeled each other. I didn't know their history, so I wasn't sure if they had just had a real fight in the ring, it really opened my eyes to the fact that you didn't need to do flashy moves to have a great, compelling match The fact that he was the one who made that generation of women in WWE so great doesn't surprise me at all.

Fit is apparently smart enough to avoid heading to AEW where he could be ignored, marginalized yet well paid.
