Arn Anderson; World Heavyweight Champion? Hall of Famer?

Hey guys,

Here's an interesting question for all of you:

Now, Arn Anderson is a TRUE 4 Horseman who has been a Tag Team Specialist and he's also held Singles Titles

He has held the following:

Former 4x NWA Southeastern Tag Team Champion w/Jerry Stubbs & Pat Rose
Former NWA National Tag Team Champion w/Ole Anderson
Former 2x NWA World Tag Team Champion w/Tully Blanchard
Former WWE World Tag Team Champion w/Tully Blanchard
Former 3x WCW World Tag Team Champion w/Larry Zbyszko, "Beautiful" Bobby Eaton & Paul Roma
Former 3x NWA Television Heavyweight Champion
Former WCW World Television Champion

Double A retired in September of 1997 due to Neck Surgery

However, Arn Anderson has been one of those great athletes that has never held a World Heavyweight Championship or a Secondary Heavyweight Championship

But Arn Anderson has def. 2 Former WCW and WWE World Heavyweight Champions (twice each)

"The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and "The Immortal" Hulk Hogan

and here's something interesting:

When Arn Anderson faced Ric Flair @ Fall Brawl and again in a Steel Cage Match

Hulk Hogan was the WCW World Heavyweight Champion (His 1st reign lasted 15 Months)
STING was the WCW U.S. Heavyweight Champion

When Arn Anderson faced Hulk Hogan on Nitro

Ric Flair was the WCW World Heavyweight Champion (Thanks to Miss Elizabeth and her shoe)
Konnan was the WCW U.S. Heavyweight Champion
Johnny B. Badd was the WCW World Television Champion
and STING & Lex Luger were the WCW World Tag Team Champions

and so, Arn Anderson didn't face Flair or Hogan for the World Heavyweight Championship, but he did face The Giant (Paul Wight) now known as Big Show the night after Slamboree '96 on Nitro for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship.

Arn Anderson has yet to be inducted into the NWA Hall of Fame and the WWE Hall of Fame and he has yet to have a DVD released on him as of yet (outside the Shoot DVD)

and so, I ask you all this:

Would Arn Anderson have been an NWA World Heavyweight Champion, WCW World Heavyweight Champion or a WWE Heavyweight Champion?

Would he have been an NWA U.S. Heavyweight Champion, WCW U.S. Heavyweight Champion or a WWE I-C Heavyweight Champion?

Do you think that he DESERVES to be in the NWA Hall of Fame and the WWE Hame of Fame?

Do you think that he DESERVES a DVD Released on his life and career?

and, what were your thoughts on Double A def. Ric Flair (twice) and Hulk Hogan (twice)?

Please share your thoughts on all of this.
