Arn constantly hanging around the top of the card through associations with Flair kept him in meaningful matches, and was given wins here and there to give him cred. In WWF, you knew who was jobbing before it happened. WCW could throw you a curveball now and then because they tried to book more unpredictably.Garth Holmberg, C.C.http://DaWrestlingSite.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-7720432248121038002014-10-20T23:33:15.904-06:002014-10-20T23:33:15.904-06:00hogan/bossman cage
