On the most recent episode of Arn Anderson’s podcast, he revealed that "Cowboy" Bill Watts once punched him in front of the WCW locker room, this was while Watts was the booker of Ted Turner’s World Championship Wrestling in 1992.
Arn revealed that Watt's wanted WCW talent to punch and kick for real during their matches and Arn was used to demonstrate how to do it.
"He looks over at me and he goes, ‘Lars? Come here, Lars. Lars, come here.’ I’m looking around like, ‘Lars, who the hell is he talking about?’ Apparently, he’s talking about me. ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah. You, Lars, get up.’
So I get up, covered the distance to where he’s standing, and he just goes. Straight punch, right in the forehead, and it shocked me so much and it shocked the boys so much. There wasn’t a peep. I just looked at him like, ‘Is that it?’ He went, ‘Okay, Lars, go ahead, sit back down’."
