Lyrics

J.J. Dillion: I would like to ask the enforcer Arn Anderson to come to the ring!

J.J. Dillion: I had a private conversation with you since you and I last appeared publicly in a ring such as this. And I feel that I owe it ... I owe to you, I owe it to all these great fans, and I owe it to myself ... To share with them publicly what I said to you, privately. And that is the fact that I owe you an apology for the things that I said to you. But my intentions were good. I meant well. Quite frankly, a friend doesn't say to another friend the things I said to you, or put you in the position that I put you into. And for that, I owe you an apology and I hope that you will accept my forgiveness.

Arn Anderson: Can you smell it, J.J.? Take a breath, can you smell it? When 15,000 people blow a roof off a place, that's what pop smells like. Take a bow! What you said to me is what all those people have been saying to me for a year and a half -- and only a true fan would say that. They said, "Arn Anderson, stand up and be a man -- like you've always been!" And I couldn't hear those words, because something was in the way. And I'm going to start at the beginning, because you have to start at the beginning...because tonight is a new beginning for The Four Horsemen. [Tony Schiavone: Oh Yeah ... Bobby Heenan: What could that mean?] And when I was a kid like all kids, people asked you, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" There was no gray area for me. Always knew I wanted to be a wrestler. And when that finally happened to me, it was the proudest day of my life. And then in 1986, I started coming to the these towns -- just like Greenville, South Carolina -- as a Horsemen. And my life changed forever. And the doors that opened for me, I had never dreamed of. And wrestling the greatest wrestlers in the world -- in a town like this and all across this country -- showed me who I was. And everyday that I walk up since then, I tried to uphold the standards, that we -- you and I and the rest of us -- set for ourselves. About a year and a half ago, I laid down on an operating table, and when I woke up, Arn Anderson -- the wrestler -- was dead. And I thought to myself, "How could I be a Horseman if I couldn't be a wrestler?" Well, the fact is, I questioned my mind. [Crowd cheers We Want Flair] Trust me, everybody is going to get it -- what they want tonight ... Bischoff, Eric Bischoff ... And when I thought I could no longer be a Horsemen, Chris Benoit came to me first. And he said, "This could all happen." And with that prelude, I would like to bring the other three Horsemen down right now. [Bobby Heenan: This is history]. Steve "Mongo" McMichael, come on down!

Arn Anderson: Chris Benoit, come on down!

Arn Anderson: Dean Malenko, come on down!

Arn Anderson: [McMichael, Benoit, Malenko, and Dillion look upon Anderson] Now, before we go any further, Chris Benoit, you got this thing rolling, and I'm going to go on record saying, that if there's a finer wrestler in all the land than you, I don't know who it is. Your intensity the first time I saw you wrestle, made you something special. You are something special in my eyes. You knew what it was to be a Horsemen. You will carry that tradition way past the year 2000. "Mongo" McMichael, you're a hard-headed. A lot of times, you're hard to be around. But the fact is, in my eyes, you're all-man. You're a surviving all pro. And when this is all and done, if I've got anything to say about it, you will mean to this sport what you meant to the sport of football. Now Dean Malenko, I've been out here yakking for the last 10 years about what it meant to be a Horsemen -- work ethic. Respect for the business, respect for each other ... respect for the people that came before us. And while I was yakking the last year, and the last couple of months, you were out there fighting for the rights of The Four Horsemen. You exemplify exactly what a Horsemen has always meant -- over-achievement. Being the very best you could be, each and every day of your life, whether you were sick, or hurt, or whatever the case maybe. And it makes me proud. Now, and I'm going to say it one more time. I said, that you didn't get it -- well, I didn't get it. Because if there was ever a Horsemen, it makes me a little misty eyed, and real proud to call you this day ... The finest thing I can call you this day -- that's a Horsemen. Ladies and gentleman, for the year 2000, we're going to do exactly what all of you people across this nation have assked us. "Arn Anderson, bring back the Horsemen." And I feel it fair to tell you, I'm not going to be responsible for what hits next. Because, we don't wear white hats. We are not nice guys. And I can tell you this -- heads are going to roll! So, I've said it. Be careful for what you wish for, because now, you have it.
Ohh, what a goof! What a goof! You know, I get accused of getting racked in the head a few times, and have a little touch of Alzheimer's. My, God, I almost for the fourth Horsemen. RIC FLAIR, GET ON DOWN HERE!!

Arn Anderson: Greenville, I give you the champ!

Ric Flair: My, God. [Crying] Thank you. They're not stopping. Thank you. Thank you very much. I'm almost embarrassed by the response, but when I see this ... but when I know I spent 25 years trying to make you happy every night of your life, it was worth every damn minute of it! Now, someone told me the Horsemen were having a party tonight, in Greenville! Could that be true, that the most elite group, that Eric Bischoff said was dead, is alive and well?!? Bischoff, this might be my only shot. But, I got to tell you, I'm going to make it my best. Is this what you call a great moment of TV? That's wrong, because, this is real! This is not bought and paid for! It's a real life situation! Just like the night in Columbia, South Carolina, when you looked at me, tears in my eyes, and said, "God, that's good TV." That was real! Arn Anderson passed the torch! It was real, dammit! You think Sting would of beeing crying in the dressing room, like I was on TV, if it wasn't real? This guy [points to Anderson], my best friend, is one of the greatest performers to ever live. And you [referring to Eric Bischoff] ... you squashed him one night. Then you get on the phone and tell me, "Disband the Horsemen. They're dead." "Disband the Four Horsemen." Me, you know what? I look I myself in the mirror the next day, and I saw a pathetic figure that gave up and quit. And for that, I owe you, the wrestling fans ... I owe these guys ... an apology. Because, it won't happen again, where we let Bischoff disband what you think .......

Ric Flair: You're an overbearing as*h**e! You're obnoxious, overbearing ... Abuse of POWER! You ... abuse of power! Cut me off!

Eric Bischoff: You will never ever wrestle here again!

Ric Flair: Abuse of power! You suck! I hate your guts!

Bischoff: My house. You're history!

Flair: You are a liar, you're a cheat, you're a scam! You are a no good son of a b*t*h! Fire me! I'm already fired! Fire me! I'm already fired!
