Someone told me that when he was a child he thought the wrestling team of that name were called Horsemen because they were old and used to ride horses to get around.

It's Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, and either Ole Anderson or Barry Windham depending on which iteration you prefer. Manged by JJ Dillion.

Death
Famine
Pestilence
War

it always kind of confused me that death was in the same category as the other three.

aren't famine, pestilence, and war all ultimately bad because they cause death? seems like they'd be stepping on each others' toes all the time

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

Perhaps that is why they ride horses.

They've been all over popular media for over 100 years, it would be difficult to have never encountered this concept.

I'd say only 15% of Americans would say they have never heard of them.

In the Revelation, Death is the only one who's actually named. There's a theory that the line about 'famine, war and pestilence' has nothing to do with the other three horsemen, but is how Death (and Hades, who follows him) will kill the people in the quarter of the planet he's given dominion over.

The second rider is described as "taking peace out of the Earth", which is usually identified with War, while the third is accompanied by a line of dialogue implying that staple food has become incredibly expensive, implying famine. But the first is set to "go out conquering and to conquer", which is hard to tie to pestilence.

If you are out and about up in other folk's face, you're not social distancing very well. Clearly we are in the end times! Just like every other time we have been.
