During the most recent installment of ‘The ARN Show,’ Arn Anderson delved into the circumstances surrounding Davey Boy Smith’s departure from WWE and subsequent arrival in WCW in January 1993.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
Reflecting on Davey Boy’s potential fit in WCW: “I believed he could align well with certain heels. He possessed an impressive physique, undoubtedly enhanced by performance-enhancing substances, yet it didn’t diminish his abilities as a performer. He maintained his work ethic and delivered commendable performances.”
Addressing the absence of a WCW World Title reign for Davey Boy: “As for him not securing a WCW World Title run, it’s uncertain. Whether any concerns emerged due to his dismissal from the previous company related to steroid usage, or if there were reservations about pushing him too extensively, remains unclear. Those determinations were beyond my purview.”
Paying tribute to Bobby Heenan’s managerial prowess: “Bobby Heenan undoubtedly contends for the title of the greatest manager in history. I’d place him alongside JJ Dillon as one of the top contenders.”
