The Shit Take #25


Listen Later

Episode 25 is all about one of wrestling’s most legendary factions — The Four Horsemen. Keith and Shawn each bring their own Horsemen-related hot take to the table!

Shit-Take #1 (Shawn):

"In 1988, Barry Windham should have taken over leadership of the Four Horsemen from Ric Flair."

This take suggests that after turning heel and joining the Horsemen, Barry Windham was ready to step into the leadership role and allow Ric Flair to move into a different space within the faction. The argument centers on Windham’s in-ring presence, athletic prime, and potential to lead the group into its next chapter while maintaining its elite status.

Shit-Take #2 (Keith):

"Curt Hennig’s heel turn on the Horsemen in 1997 was a bigger deal than Hulk Hogan joining the NWO."

This take ranks Hennig’s betrayal of the Horsemen at Fall Brawl ‘97 above Hogan’s heel turn at Bash at the Beach ‘96 in terms of shock value and emotional impact. It positions the moment as the true symbolic end of the Horsemen era and a devastating blow to traditionalist fans, arguing that it carried more weight within the context of wrestling history than Hogan’s shift to the NWO.
