The Horsemen are excited to have Sting and board, and Sting is happy to be there! I was pretty young and didn't see a turn coming, but looking back, I'm not sure how I didn't. It's not because these segments telegraph it, but rather because having all of these guys on the same side really limited them.

The birth of Sting: All-Too Trusting Dumbass. Flair and Ole put him over, and Arn does the same while also hyping the Clash main event. I still don't agree with the decision to turn Flair back to a heel, but this was still shaping up to be a promising angle until Sting's injury blew it all to hell.

I think the Horsemen going heel are kind of telegraphed with Ole Anderson being a babyface. He just does not seem like a good guy, or a guy that would ever hang out with Sting under any circumstances. Maybe if they had gotten Tully instead of Ole for the group, it might have worked, but I'm not buying Ole Anderson as a babyface.

Tully would perhaps be the most miscast babyface in history.

 

I've seen Ole work babyface on the Cornette garbage films--like, total, bouncing, hand-clapping babyface with Gene, not as an "antihero." He was actually really, really good and energetic about it.

Jim Ross is with Ole and Flair and says that the Horsemen have never been stronger since the inception of the group. Flair says how they've just picked up 6'3'', 260lb of the most charismatic, quality athlete in the world, when they are joined by Arn and Sting (who look like they've just had a match). Sting is excited to be a Horseman, considers it an honour and considers it an honour to hear Ric Flair giving him all those nice comments. Arn says how if all these people could have told them one year ago that he'd be stood next to Sting in a complimentary manner, their mouths would have fallen to the floor gaping open. Come Clash of the Champions when they get Buzz Sawyer, Great Muta and Dragon Master in a cage, life as they know it is over.

 

Just like the interview where they invite Sting to join the Horseman, Arn is on another level and the standout promo again.
