One More Anderson Spinebuster At Starrcade

During the match between Dolph Ziglar and Bobby Roode during the Starrcade event last night, Dolph had a bit of a run in with Arn Anderson, who was serving as an Enforcer during the match. Arn showed him and the crowd that he still had one of his famous Anderson Spinebusters still left in him.

Bobby Roode himself tweeted his reaction after the match and showed appreciation to Arn for all he has done.

Such a surreal and amazing moment for me to share the same ring tonight with one of my all time favorites… a mentor and a man who will always have the best spine buster in the business #ArnAnderson #Respect #Starrcade #Glorious pic.twitter.com/4jGNCQBDhz

Anderson was a major name for the Crockett Territory from 1985 until he left the company to go to the WWF in 1988 with Tully Blanchard. They became “The Brain Busters” under the management of Bobby “The Brain” Heenan. The duo was set to return to the then WCW in 1989, but Tully’s drug-related firing from the WWF turned Time Warner against bringing back the duo, and Arn was brought back to reform his team with Ole Anderson and rejoin Ric Flair in the Horsemen. Arn continued to wrestle for WCW and rejoin Flair under the Horsemen name many time until 1996 when he suffered the last in a series of neck injuries and was forced to announce his retirement as a wrestler in 1997.
