Behold a pale horse, & the man that sat on him was Death
Since the WWE screwed-up the nWo, and with Flair's heel run, I think it'd be good if they brought back the Horsemen.
However, unlike the nWo in WWF, the Horsemen have to run roughshod over the RAW-brand of WWE. They have to establish a tyrannical regime.
Sorry for stealing your catchphrase moniker there, Tarl, but I thought it'd be perfect for the Horsemen enforcer:
Behold, a pale Horse, and the man that sat on him was Death...
...and Hell followed with him.
CUE Music.
~Enter the Wrestler.~
Not sure who'd deserve the entrance, though.
For the record, the Horsemen I'd create would be Flair, Anderson, Bradshaw, Lesnar, Wight, and a reinvented Kane.
Don't screw around with it - Bradshaw, Kane, and Wight have been there long enough that the talent should be willing to be jobbed and punked by them unmercilessly.
Then develop a paranoic, totalitarian regime. Maybe create a Horsemen-patch that people have to wear somewhere to establish that they recognize the Horsemen authority. Those who don't wear it are beaten.
Obviously you need a few faces here - that'd be the likes of Austin, and I'd use RVD, and probably Booker. I'd have these guys coming in and out from the crowd - no obliviously waltzing around backstage. If they're caught, they're pounded unmercilessly.
They'd have surreptitious meetings, planning how to fight the Horsemen. And FOR ONCE in his career, Austin would have to show leadership. None of this DTA crap - this is the evolution of his character: the leader (of faces. I know he lead the Alliance, but that was a bit of a joke).
Austin would have to take it upon himself to be the person who's going to save WWE RAW, and the only way he can do that is by being a Leader of Men, as opposed to a bald-headed no-selling, no-jobbing prick. (Apologies for the language).
Lastly, I'd create a Deep Throat who'd give info to the faces. Show him only from the shadows, a dark silhouette. This guy could create paranoia in the Horsemen ranks: Who is it? But really let it run slowly, build gradually. (I'd probably make it Anderson). Have the Horsemen attacking one another after quite a while.
Well, just some thoughts.

 Re: Behold a pale horse, & the man that sat on him was D
Firstly SILK, if you're wondering why your post was edited, I only removed a comma from your original subject line, so all of the words would then *fit*, instead of ending with the word "Deat", which looked hella confusing to me.
I don't mind you stealing my catchphrase at all. I got my original idea from the Book of Revelations 6 : 8, and then changed a few of the words slightly after hearing the phrase partially uttered on TOMBSTONE, so I'm glad that you like it.
I like your idea, but not your choice of lineup; maybe because my sense of tradition is nagging at me.
Traditionally, the best Horsemen stables have consisted of the following :
1) Big man. An "enforcer" such as you described.
2) Cocky outspoken World-Title contender
3) & 4) Two well-matched Tag Team wrestlers
I agree with having Flair & Anderson as the leaders, but when you suggested Arn as being the mystery "Deep Throat" element (I like the idea of having one), were you saying that Arn would secretly be working AGAINST The Horsemen???
I wouldn't go that way, myself. Right off the top of my head, I think I'd go with DDP as the mystery informer. Maybe using something like they had in TRUE LIES, where Schwarzennegar was disguising his voice electronically.
I'm a big Benoit mark, and he was also a former Horseman, so I'd use him to help *glue* the new group together, seeing as how he's due to make his return soon.
I think I'd go with Lesnar as the BIG MAN here, because he's *hot* as hell right now. Goldberg could *also* fill this position, with a few brain cells in the writing department keeping everything running smoothly.
Goldy's not here (yet), and Lesnar's involvement with Paul Heyman *could* be a problem, however, so I'd be keeping Mike Awesome in mind, thinking to capitalize on his former ECW "Career-Killer" image, just in case.
I'd keep Wight with the nWo, or even better yet, team him up with KANE, like you suggested in your other thread. They'd make a good team, IMHO.....just get somebody to do ALL of their mic-work *for* them. Keep them both OFF of the stick & in the ring.
Brock has the necessary sand to do all of the "enforcing". Not sure about Bradshaw here at all. Your suggested version of The Horsemen seems to be over-populated with big dumb guys. I don't recall them as being such an ALL BIG MAN stable.
I'd like to see Jericho playing the role of the cocky World-Title contender. Since I already tossed Wight, Kane, & Bradshaw over the top rope with one *click* of my mouse, we'd need a tag partner for Benoit...
Ima go with Lance Storm for the other half of the 4Horsemen tag picture. I think that his & Benoit's styles would compliment each other, with similar good mat techniques, but also some arial abilities, & proven submissions.
