Back to the Four Horsemen:
Hal = Ric Flair
Both have money problems, and spend way too much time on their hair.
Guy = Arn Anderson
Kyle = Tully Blanchard
John = Ole Anderson? Lex Luger? Barry Windham?
A lot of people don't like John for the same reasons folks did not like Lex (plus we have the tragedy with Liz & Kat).
It was much easier comparing these guys to the DBZ characters which many of us did a long time ago.
Naturally, all this is my opinion.
John could be JJ Dillon too, given the leader/manager status.
I didn't get the part about Lex though. Maybe I'm forgetting something, but what are those reasons? I mean a good number of people consider John to be their favorite GL, while I've never heard anyone point to Luger as their favorite Horseman.
I thought the Four Corpsmen thing was stupid enough, but now knowing it's a wrestling reference and to see this thread highjacked by it just makes me hate it more...
I would think Ganthet fits the JJ role.
One of the knocks against Lex was that he was too serious. He was never overly charismatic, and some felt he was standoffish. With his over the top comic book build, yet having a centered personality, it was easier to boo him. Vince wanted to put Lex over post Hogan, but did not think he had enough personality. Many felt he worked better as a heel than a face. I often read a lot of GL fans feel the same way about John.
