Larry Zbysko On Teaming With Arn Anderson, What He Believes Is Missing From Modern Wrestling

Larry Zbysko appeared on the Arm Drag Takedown podcast and discussed teaming with Arn Anderson.

“I wasn’t big on tag teaming; I liked being a singles guy. You usually got more money, more recognition and the top spot. Especially at my age, and doing what I did, I didn’t mind tag teaming because it wasn’t quite as brutal. Even though it was brutal, it wasn’t quite as brutal. Arn was great. Arn was the perfect guy. I loved being teamed with Arn. Arn had the look and knowledge, especially with the way people thought of me. People really thought I was an asshole! Arn was a fun guy to travel with. He’s a funny guy!”

He also talked about what he believes is missing from professional wrestling.

“[Years ago] people could get emotionally involved in the suspense, and when something happened, they blew the roof off the place. In my case, I was followed down the highway…I got stabbed in the ass in a riot…. My car was smashed. I had to hide on other guys’ trunks. The difference today, today’s humanity doesn’t believe anything they see on TV any more. One thing professional wrestling has lost hold of is that emotional connection [with audiences].”
