Even when asked to speak for documentaries, Double A has upheld kayfabe.

Arn Anderson came up in the business working for the National Wrestling Alliance and most famously for Jim Crockett Promotions and then WCW. He played a roughneck heel who usually backed Ric Flair as part of the Four Horsemen. While he made one stopover during his active wrestling career to work for a year with WWE, he largely played the same character -- a stone-faced, serious wrestler.

It’s notable that Anderson has held onto kayfabe fiercely. In particular, he was called on to speak for several documentary projects over the last decade. Particularly in recounting the history of the Four Horsemen, he’s spoken carefully to avoid revealing the business. Instead, he kept on referencing the group as if they actually were both a band of violent thugs and an elite squad of in-ring technicians.

Anderson stood out amidst interviews with other personalities who did shoot for these documentary projects, and the question became if no one had clued "The Enforcer" into the style of the interview that is being done, or if he were just old school enough to still protect kayfabe that seriously.
