Arn Anderson – ‘It Was An Honor To Face Barry Windham For The NWA World Title’

Arn Anderson has recalled challenging Barry Windham for the NWA Worlds Championship in 1993, calling the opportunity an honor.

During his “ARN” podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer fondly remembered challenging Windham at Slammiversary 1993. He said,

“I would be excited about wrestling Barry Windham in Rome, Georgia or Calhoun, Georgia on a live event, just because it was an honor and a privilege to be wrestling Barry Windham. But it wasn’t built like other World Title matches. You know, they were just basing it, ‘Okay? Everybody remembers he was a Horseman and they were opponents. They were partners. They have all this history.’

“But you still have to build the now and present angle. And he’s the champion, that makes it different, he’s the World Champion. You would have had to have built it. And I knew they weren’t going to build it properly and make it a big deal and a featured match on the show even.”

The penultimate match of the night, Windham would retain his title against Anderson in a match that went 10:55.
