Why Ric Flair & Arn Anderson Are No Longer Close

Ric Flair and Arn Anderson got very close as members of the Four Horsemen. Years later, the two are not close at all. Flair blames a lack of communication for that.

The Nature Boy previously explained why Four Horsemen reunion isn’t happening. He made it clear that the issues with money and representation stand in the way.

While speaking to Wrestling Inc, Ric Flair also went into why he lost touch with Arn Anderson. The two don’t talk anymore, but the other members of the Horsemen really haven’t kept in touch either.

“That’s one of the reasons Arn and I aren’t close,” Flair revealed. “How do you not text? We don’t do anything anymore. We don’t talk. When it’s close to his (Reid’s) birthday, I get emotional. Like I said, one of the greatest. It’s got nothing to do with business. You just struggle with the people who you think will be there for you, and the people that you don’t think will be there are. Nothing’s bigger than the love of your children.”

“I wasn’t just saying it about Arn. I didn’t hear a word from Tully, didn’t hear a word from Barry. I didn’t hear anything from Ole. He’s mad at the world. Arn just comes to mind because he was so close to the family. Then when I was sick, not a word. You spend 10 years being so close with these people, and you just wonder what really matters at the end of the day. It means nothing apparently.”

Ric Flair might be a bit bothered that they lost touch. Members of the Four Horsemen are all doing their own thing, and it doesn’t sound like a reunion is going to happen. Perhaps one day they will mend things to remember the good old days while they can.
