ARN #272: Shifting the Gold (April 1996)

 


April 1996 was a turning point in WCW — and Arn Anderson was right in the thick of it. Hulk Hogan was still WCW’s superhero, Ric Flair dropped the World Title to The Giant, and the storm clouds of the nWo were beginning to form. On this episode of ARN, The Enforcer reflects on one of wrestling’s most pivotal months.

We cover:

Ric Flair’s shocking loss of the gold to The Giant

Arn tells the story with his trademark honesty, grit, and behind-the-scenes perspective — plus answers fan questions.
