#13. Curt Hennig
Hennig is the shortest-lived Horsemen, lasting just under a month. This naturally puts a glass ceiling on how good he was in this role.
Both his appointment and betrayal were great, however. Arn Anderson retired in late 1997 and allotted his position to Hennig, who graciously accepted. Under a month later, Hennig joined the nWo and turned on the Horsemen at Fall Brawl 1997’s WarGames match, slamming the cage door over Flair’s head.
This led to a surprisingly unremarkable feud with Flair over Hennig’s United States title, a belt he initially won from Horsemen Steve McMichael. It was more of an angle than actual membership.
#12. Steve McMichael
“Mongo” lasted an incredibly long time in the Horsemen, remaining from mid-1996 to early 1999. It is almost as if McMichael had it in his contract that he had to be a Four Horsemen member…oh wait, it was?
McMichael was an American footballer player for the Chicago Bears, who – according to Bleacher Report – “are the holders of the most wins in NFL history with 729 (including playoffs), as well as the best winning percentage of any team at .575.” I have no idea what any of that means but it certainly sounds impressive.
After turning on fellow NFL star Kevin Greene to join the group, “Mongo” proved his worthlessness with almost no memorable moments in the stable. He was a horrific in-ring performer, not his fault really as he was never cut out for the business, and was in the Marc Mero contingent of their gimmick being having a pretty wife.
“Mongo” did not have any of the components of a Horseman, which is instrumental to his failure in the faction.
