Lunde began a tremendous tag team career quite unsuccessfully with Matt Borne before donning a mask to wrestle as "Super Olympia" alongside "Mr. Olympia" to win three Southeastern Tag Team Championships in 1984.The two broke up in late 1984 and Lunde joined with Pat Rose to form the "Tennessee Studs" before leaving that team to become part of the original Legion of Doom stable with Hawk, Animal, Jake Roberts and the Spoiler. 

    In 1985, Lunde set out for Georgia where he would make professional wrestling history under the National Wrestling Alliance banner. Lunde was given the name ARN ANDERSON and began, first, feuding with his storyline Uncle, Ole Anderson, before joining forces with him as the Minnesota Wrecking Crew. Together they won the NWA World Tag Team Championship and Anderson also won the NWA Television Title, defeating Wahoo McDaniel in a tournament final. The Andersons began feuding with Dusty Rhodes and the Road Warriors and quickly made history as founding members of the most elite stable in professional wrestling history. 

    It was during a group interview that Arn Anderson compared himself, Ole Anderson, Ric Flair and Tully Blanchard to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and the name stuck. The Four Horsemen were born and together the Horsemen would dominate NWA storylines, feuding with Dusty Rhodes, Magnum TA, Nikita Koloff and the Road Warriors among others. At Starrcade 1986, the Andersons would lose their NWA World Tag Team Championship to the Rock-n-Roll Express and Ole left the company, taking a vacation. When Ole returned, he found the Horsemen were not too welcoming and Arn Anderson turned on his "Uncle" and began teaming successfully with Tully Blanchard as Lex Luger moved in to take Ole's place in the Horsemen. In the summer of 1987, Arn Anderson would make history again by taking part in the first ever WARGAMES match, teaming with Ric Flair, Tully Blanchard, Lex Luger and their manager JJ Dillon against Dusty Rhodes, Nikita Koloff, the Road Warriors and the Road Warriors' manager, and Arn Anderson's first manager, Paul Ellering. The first match was such a success on the Great American Bash tour that the NWA sanctioned a re-match with the War Machine, a young Ray "Big Bossman" Traylor, taking Dillon's place. In both matches, Arn Anderson started things off and showed tremendous endurance in a very difficult match. 

    Arn Anderson would taste gold again in September of 1987, teaming with Tully Blanchard to defeat the Rock-n-Roll Express to take the NWA World Tag Team Championship again and engaged the Road Warriors in a series of classics. They would hold the titles until March of 1988 when former Horseman Lex Luger and future Horseman Barry Windham unseated them at the first Clash of the Champions on TBS. They would regain the titles less than a month later. Anderson and Blanchard would make it to the finals of the 1988 Crockett Cup tournament before losing to Lex Luger and Sting and finally lost the NWA World Tag Team Titles to the Midnight Express in September of 1988... and things changed. 

    A contract dispute broke up the Horsemen as Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard jumped ship to Vince McMahon's World Wrestling Federation during one of its most successful periods. They were allowed to keep their no-frills, pure-wrestling gimmick and were paired with the legendary Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. The Brain Busters quickly became a centre-piece in the Heenan Family alongside Andre the Giant, Ravishing Rick Rude, Haku, and another NWA refugee, Harley Race. The Brain Busters began feuding with the Rockers and made their first pay-per-view appearance at the 1988 Survivor Series to team with WWF Tag Team Champions Demolition, the Bolsheviks, the Conquistadors, and the Rougeau Brothers in a losing effort to the Powers of Pain, the British Bulldogs, the Rockers, the Young Stallions and the Hart Foundation. They would also take part in the first pay-per-view version of the Royal Rumble in January of 1989 and were both eliminated by Hulk Hogan. The Brain Busters defeated Tito Santana and Rick Martel at Wrestlemania V in Atlantic City, New Jersey and reached the pinnacle of the World Wrestling Federation tag team division by defeating Ax and Smash of Demolition in a best 2/3 Falls Match on Saturday Nights Main Event in July of 1989. 

    The newly crowned champions would defeat the Hart Foundation in a non-title match in August of 1989 at the second annual Summer Slam and soon dropped the titles back to Demolition. Just prior to the 1989 Survivor Series, Tully Blanchard was fired over an alleged drug problem, but the show went on with Arn Anderson teaming with Andre the Giant, Haku and now Bobby Heenan against the Ultimate Warrior, Jim Neidhart and the Rockers. Heenan and Anderson teased tension during the match and Anderson soon left the WWF to return to the NWA, or, more appropriately, World Championship Wrestling. 

    Arn Anderson reformed a fan favourite version of the Four Horsemen with Ric Flair, Ole Anderson and Sting to feud with Gary Hart's J-Tex Corporation consisting of Terry Funk, the Great Muta, the Dragon Master and others. The Horsemen became a tweener entity and Arn Anderson began teaming regularly with Ric Flair and Barry Windham at times. Anderson enjoyed several more reigns as the Television Champion after this. In the summer of 1991, the Horsemen broke apart again over another contract dispute as Ric Flair moved to Vince McMahon's World Wrestling Federation. Arn Anderson joined up with Paul E. Dangerously's Dangerous Alliance and began teaming with Larry Zbyszko as The Enforcers. The Enforcers defeated the Steiner Brothers in September of 1991 to win the WCW World Tag Team Championship, but lost them in November to Dustin Rhodes and Ricky Steamboat. The Enforcers would continue to feud with Dustin Rhodes, former Horseman Barry Windham, Ron Simmons, Sting, and other WCW fan favourites before Anderson started a new team with "Beautiful" Bobby Eaton. 

    Anderson and Eaton won the WCW World Tag Team Titles from Rhodes and Steamboat but lost them later on to the Steiner Brothers. When Paul E. Dangerously left the WCW, Anderson continued his feud with Barry Windham and at the 1993 Slamboree event, Windham defeated Anderson to retain his NWA World Title. Anderson began taking independent dates for Jim Cornette in Smokey Mountain Wrestling before returning to WCW alongside the returning Ric Flair and Ole Anderson to once again reprise the Four Horsemen. Anderson was paired with the newest Horseman, Paul Roma, in a successful tag team to feud with Hollywood Blondes Steve Austin and Brian Pillman. Anderson and Roma won the WCW World Tag Team Titles at the Clash of Champions event in August of 1993 but lost them one month later to the Nasty Boys. An unfortunate real-life brawl with Sid Vicious threatened Anderson's WCW career when he was stabbed with a pair of scissors. 

    Arn Anderson returned in 1994 as a fan favourite, feuding with Lord Steven Regal before accepting a tag team partnership with former rival Dustin Rhodes against Colonel Robert Parker's Studd Stable. In July of 1994 at the Bash at the Beach pay-per-view, Arn Anderson double-crossed Dustin Rhodes during a tag team match against Terry Funk and Bunkhouse Buck and quickly became the centre-piece of the Studd Stable. Anderson would again step into War Games with Funk, Bunkhouse Buck and Meng against the Nasty Boys, Dustin Rhodes and the American Dream Dusty Rhodes. In early 1995, Arn Anderson defeated Johnny B. Badd to become the new Television Champion before losing it in shocking fashion to the Ultimate Warrior lookalike, The Renegade. Arn Anderson quickly re-aligned with Ric Flair to feud with Hulk Hogan and Vader. Then, the unthinkable happened... Arn Anderson turned on Ric Flair! 

    Anderson defeated Flair at Fall Brawl in 1995 with help from Brian Pillman and the two began the process of reforming the Four Horsemen without Ric Flair. The storyline had Ric Flair begging Sting to team with him to put Anderson and Pillman down and, reluctantly, Sting agreed... setting up yet another double-cross as Flair, Anderson and Pillman triple teamed Sting and reformed the Four Horsemen properly. Soon, a young Chris Benoit was added to the team and for the first time in years, the Four Horsemen were relevant and central to the WCW storylines. The new Horsemen feuded with Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Sting and the Dungeon of Doom and in February of 1996, Arn Anderson was given back-to-back victories over Hulk Hogan: first by pinfall and then by disqualification. In March, Anderson took part in the DOOMSDAY Cage Match, losing to Hogan and Savage in the process. Anderson re-ignited a rivalry with the Dungeon of Doom after the match, leading to Anderson challenging the Giant for the WCW World Title unsuccessfully. 

    In June of 1996 at the Great American Bash, Arn Anderson and Ric Flair defeated Football players Steve McMichael and Kevin Greene when McMichael forsook his partner to join the Horsemen but later in the summer the New World Order was born and the Horsemen were moved into a fan favourite position. Arn Anderson would suffer a career ending injury and wrestled his final match in January of 1997 on WCW Monday Nitro, teaming with Steve McMichael to defeat the Amazing French Canadians. Anderson would deliver a moving retirement speech on the August 25, 1997 edition of Monday Nitro and gave "his spot" in the Horsemen to Curt Hennig in a speech that was parodied by the heel New World Order. Anderson would return in an advisory role briefly for the Horsemen with Dean Malenko, Chris Benoit, Ric Flair and Steve McMichael before WCW shut down in 2001. 

    Arn Anderson signed on with the World Wrestling Federation and took part in the WCW Invasion storyline as a WCW announcer, though he didn't last long as an on-air talent. He moved into a position as a Road Agent, or Producer, and worked with younger talents to hone their interview and wrestling skills. He appeared briefly alongside a heel Ric Flair to feud with Steve Austin on WWF Raw, which Ric Flair was General Manager of, and occasionally participated as a managerial figure for Flair as the years went on and took place in a few Legends Ceremonies and backstage skits. 

    What makes Arn Anderson worthy of a position in the Hall of Fame? His interview skills, his wrestling skills, the fact that he is, without question, one of, if not the, greatest tag team wrestler of all time. He single handedly coined the legendary name of the Four Horsemen and continues to contribute to the product as a Producer in WWE. Arn Anderson has never been the flashiest or the most notorious, but he has always been the back-bone of any company he has worked for. He has shown he can wrestle classics with everyone from Ric Flair to Demolition to Randy Savage to Shawn Michaels and has earned the respect of not only the fans, but of his peers. We salute you, Arn Anderson, and welcome you to the UWOW Hall of Fame!
