Here is the first ever tron for the legendary wrestling stable known as The Four Horsemen in its complete formation in World Championship Wrestling (WCW). There were previous videos for Flair, Arn and Windham as singles wrestlers, but surely enough, I never dismiss the possibility of having their combination included in the wish lists. Anyway, this song was first introduced in June 13, 1990, when Clash Of The Champions XI (11) happened. This was a weirdly crazy era for the group, where Ole Anderson was slowly getting fazed away, Ric Flair was having that odd short feud with Junkyard Dog over the NWA belt just as a build up for his big match with Sting the next month, Arn Anderson was the reigning TV Champion who was helping Flair to deal with the collection known as the "Dudes With Attitude" of Sting, JYD, El Gigante and Paul Orndorff, alongside Barry Windham, who had just returned, and Sid Vicious, who was brought in as the new muscle force of the group.
Let's just say the year of 1990 was a pivotal and trasitioning chapter for them. A mixture of straight dominance in the beginning when Wrestlewar and Capitol Combat happened, but too much chaos surrounded when they dealt with Lex Luger along the way and finally a hard fall thanks to Flair's loss of the NWA title to Sting at the Great American Bash of 1990. After that, it was Sid Vicious who started to step up to Sting for the NWA Title, while Flair (who once tried to beat Luger for the US Title but failed) and Arn took up to the tag division, fighting over the NWA Tag titles held by Ron Simmons and Butch Reed, while Windham briefly disappeared between August to October and resurfaced in a supporting role first in a Sting disguise at Halloween Havoc to try and make Sid Vicious win the title to no avail, as well as subbing for Flair by teaming up with Arn to face Simmons and Reed at Starrcade. In other words, this can be described as the last taste of what was the Horsemen in their original essence, as Flair would leave later in June 1991, Arn would form the Enforcers with Larry Zbyszko and later join the Dangerous Alliance of Paul E. Dangerously, Windham would turn babyface after Halloween Havoc 1991 and Sid would disappear in mid-1991 after losing to El Gigante. In the following years, whatever came out of creative who had Ric Flair and Arn Anderson, this guy and that guy calling themselves "The Four Horsemen"...well, it wasn't just the same. But remember: diamonds are forever, and so are the Four Horsemen!
