In the most recent edition of ‘The Arn Show’ podcast, Arn Anderson expounded on the prospect of the Road Warriors’ Animal and Hawk pursuing successful solo careers.
Read on for some notable insights gathered from the podcast:
Discussing the possibility of Animal or Hawk becoming stand-out solo stars, Anderson said: “Their individual capabilities wouldn’t have matched the collective strength they possessed as a team. I always saw them, along with Paul, as a unit. Splitting them up would not have augmented their appeal or enhanced their performance. On the contrary, it would have been detrimental. They formed such an excellent unit, all three of them.”
Talking about why it was a mistake to morph Vader into a protagonist in 1995, Anderson opined: “It was such a wasted opportunity to leverage Vader’s classic villain persona. He had the ability to be a formidable challenger for all your top heroes to defeat, to conquer the proverbial mountain. Be it Sting, Hogan, or Savage, he could’ve been a challenging adversary.”
