The Horsemen with Flair, Ole, Arn, Tully, and JJ is the Horsemen I most recognize as "THE HORSEMEN".
When I think of the Horsemen, I think of feuds with Dusty and Magnum TA. Breaking Dusty's ankle and hand. Magnum TA v. Tully Blanchard, Babydoll, the Original War Games matches against the Road Warriors, Dusty, and Nikita, Jimmy Jam dressing as Precious and attacking Flair before their date (IIRC, Luger was an "associate" of the Horsemen at that time or just started becoming a member).
that's my Horsemen. Right around there.
I have no issues with the Luger or Windham versions...heck, there were good aspects about the Luger version and the Windham version...but I think of the Horsemen, this is who I think of...
Sting being a Horseman was just a program. Paul Roma was trash and a joke even to Flair and Arn. I appreciate what they did by letting Malenko and Benoit into the Horsemen...that's what you should do as old guys, bring the young guys into the mix. If Malenko had charisma, he'd be Tully. If Benoit could talk, he'd be Ole. I see what they were going with there.
