Arn Anderson On FTR

During his ARN podcast, Arn Anderson spoke about FTR.

On what impresses him about FTR as a tag team:

“They’re very talented. They know who they’re patterning themselves after – it’s not like when guys compare them to us, they’re the first ones to say ‘You’re 100 percent right.’ They don’t deny it. They’ve copied our thought process more so than the actual move set, it’s the thought process. It’s the being a team and truly understanding where your partner is at all times. If you get in trouble, he’s just an arms reach away.

That’s ring positioning and cutting the ring off and isolating the opponent in your half of the ring so that if you do get in trouble, you’re just a tag away. Those guys have perfected it, and they’re a lot more athletic than Tully or I will ever be, that’s for sure. That’s just evolution of the entire crew of these young wrestlers in any company you want to pick out – you like at them athletically and go ‘I couldn’t have even thought of that or pictured that in my mind, much less pulled it off.'”

On a potential dream match between FTR and the Brain Busters:

“As far as us wrestling them, I’d like to think that one advantage we might have is we were a little nastier – our thought process was a little more vicious and I have no problem kicking a guy’s knee out from under him, punting him in the head, anything we had to do to gain an advantage. Tully didn’t have a problem with it either. These guys have a skill set that is beyond ours, I just don’t know if they have that nasty, vicious frame of mind that we have, and that would be our advantage. Theirs would be the advantage that they’re just technically more sound than we are.”
