Arn Anderson on why Game of Thrones’ Hafthor did not work in WWE
Arn Anderson talked about the major question that senior wrestlers had to ask themselves when looking at someone like Game of Thrones’ Hafthor who was making his way in the world of wrestling. Arn Anderson admitted that it often came down to if a person was able to take a fall, that determined if they could be signed to WWE.
Arn Anderson went on to admit that when it came to big guys, the sort of movement that was expected was the type that Kane or The Undertaker brought to their matches in WWE. This might not have been something the Game of Thrones actor could bring to the ring.
Anderson admitted that he had never seen the Game of Thrones actor, Hafthor, actually in the ring, but saw him backstage in WWE at some points. Eventually, things did not work out but he made it big instead, signing onto Game of Thrones.
