Notes from Dr. Borkosky

Their last match was defeating The Shane Twins on July 11, 2003. On August 18, 2005, Heidenreich was officially made part of LOD and was presented with his own "Road Warrior spikes". In Japan in the 1990s, Kensuke "Power Warrior" Sasaki often teamed with Hawk and Animal, separately and together. LOD 2000 won the battle royal and earned a shot at the tag team titles, but did not manage to win the gold. The greatest tag-team of all time. They gained a reputation for being very stiff and not selling simply because they could and as a result most of their matches ended quickly. After a few months of rapid success, the Road Warriors dumped Ellering as manager, claiming they needed no manager. [13] The Road Warriors were on the winning side of War Games both matches that summer[14] taking their feud with the Horsemen to Starrcade '87, where they lost by disqualification to Tully Blanchard and Arn Anderson. [40] The Road Warriors had hoped to get a full-time contract with WWE but nothing ever came of it. Hawk and Animal were known for their impressive physiques, as their physical size was larger than most wrestlers of the era. They would make one final appearance on the March 29, 1999 Raw challenging Owen Hart and Jeff Jarrett for the tag team titles but failed them; they left the WWF afterwards. This was short-lived, as in early 1984, along with "Precious" Paul Ellering formed a stablecalle… Road Warrior Hawk died five months later on October 19, 2003. [34] The Legion of Doom then went on to team with Ahmed Johnson to face Faarooq, Crush, and Savio Vega of the Nation of Domination in a Street Fight at Wrestlemania 13 in their home town of Chicago.

Originally conceived to be a fully licensed commercial release, Incorporated was stalled by legal entanglements until it was leaked online and ultimately released as a bootleg.

Before the match, Ahmed was given special shoulder pads like the LOD wear, however they were never returned.

[26] Bill Eadie (Ax) was having health issues and an agreement was made to phase him out and eventually replace him with Crush (Brian Adams), while Barry Darsow continued in his role of Smash. It really helps! [37], After leaving the WWF, the Road Warriors would appear for various independent federations. The pair made claims that Bischoff promised them a second-highest paid contract, as well as a separate contract from Japan, something which he denies remembering. He then went AWOL in London after the event with John Nord (The Berzerker) and missed the flight back to the U.S., while Laurinaitis stuck around and finished the team's contractual obligations with former Demolition member Crush (now repackaged from his Demolition character to being a face, becoming a tanned muscle guy from the beaches of his native Hawaii) replacing Hawk on house shows in Europe in mid September 1992, after Hawk left the WWF. Once again they returned to Japan competing in Fighting Of World Japan Pro-Wrestling defeating The Shane Twins for the Tag Team titles on March 1, 2003. When Laurinaitis’ back was finally healed enough for him to return to wrestling, the Road Warriors signed a contract with WCW in late 1995. On June 22, 2002, performing for International Wrestling Superstars (IWS), Road Warriors Animal and Hawk defeated the Headshrinkers for the World Tag-Team Championship.

[3] They also introduced a tandem maneuver known as the Doomsday Device. Paul Ellering also joined Crush and Animal in some six man tag team matches. The Road Warriors had several shots at the champions but failed to win the titles. [8], LOD would return a short time later with their original manager Paul Ellering at WrestleMania VIII.

They performed both as a team and individually. The Road Warriors also appeared very briefly in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) during the early days of the promotion, saving America's Most Wanted, and debuting to what Jeremy Borash quoted as "A 1985 Road Warrior Pop".[39]. On April 19, 1986, The Road Warriors won the inaugural Jim Crockett, Sr. Memorial Cup Tag Team Tournament by beating Ron Garvin and Magnum T.A. All music and photos are copy right by WWE.

The duo sported a new look, including new shoulder pads and helmets (the helmets wouldn't last long, as Hawk got rid of his by throwing it to the crowd) and a new manager in Sunny. They won the NWA National Tag Team Championship upon their debut, a title they would win three more times while in Georgia.[8]. Their theme music was a megamix of "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath and "Hellraiser" by Ozzy Osbourne. Long would be fired from his job due to the count but the titles were not returned to the Road Warriors.

When the newly formed team returned to North America, Animal and Crush both started wrestling singles matches and the team was no more. They dropped the titles to the Twins three months later in their last televised appearance on June 29, 2003. [8] In November 1997, the Legion of Doom faced the newly formed New Age Outlaws (Road Dogg and Billy Gunn) and lost the titles to the upstart team.[8]. During this stint, they used the theme song "Hellraiser" by Ozzy Osbourne. in the finals. [20][21] Their last big wins in WCW came when they defeated three other teams (including the red hot Steiner Brothers) to win the Ironman Tag Team Tournament at Starrcade 1989 “Future Shock”[19][18][22] (The Steiners actually defeated the Warriors by pinfall in their match, but the Warriors won the round robin style tournament on a point system basis.) Despite no commercial presence the album became a viral sensation, downloaded over a million times through peer-to-peer sites and torrent networks, and inspiring dozens of fan-created YouTube videos. For the second time in the history of the Road Warriors they participated in a storyline where tension arose between the members, teasing a break up. The Legion of Doom / Demolition feud did not have the expected intensity because of the change and LOD soon set their sights on the tag team titles. [8] The Road Warriors were brought in by Gagne to work as heels, but their squash matches soon won over fans. [43] During their feud with MNM, LOD were joined by Christy Hemme, who acted as a valet/manager for a short while. In 1984, the Road Warriors moved on to Verne Gagne's American Wrestling Association (AWA) along with their manager Paul Ellering. [17] The title change was a controversial one as referee Teddy Long performed an excessively fast count. In this storyline, Hawk was seen by his partner Animal as unfit to wrestle and Puke was tapped to take Hawk's place in the tag team as an official member. In 2001 they feuded with The Nasty Boys for the Xcitement Wrestling Federation. Hawk and Animal next appeared as Legion of Doom 2000, billed as an updated version of the Road Warriors “for the new millennium”, at WrestleMania XIV during a tag team Battle Royal. The group consisted of the Road Warriors, Jake "The Snake" Roberts, & The Spoiler. Official site of the music production team of musician/producer Trever Keith and engineer/programmer Chad Blinman. Then they went to Australia winning the iGW Tag Team Titles against Public Enemy for i-Generation pay-per-view on June 30, 2000. [12], The Warriors joined forces with Dusty Rhodes and Nikita Koloff in a bloody feud with The Four Horsemen. Among their best known work are remixes commissioned for Flyleaf , Senses Fail, Thrice, Slayer, Skillet and others. Among their best known work are remixes commissioned for Flyleaf, Senses Fail, Thrice, Slayer, Skillet and others. Road Warrior Animal died on September 22, 2020. They were initially brought into "Precious" Paul Ellering's stable as a replacement for his team of Matt Borne and Arn Anderson, after Borne was fired from the company.

[31][32], Hegstrand and Laurinaitis stayed with WCW for about six months, before leaving over a dispute with Eric Bischoff.

On February 23, 1998, on Raw, the Legion of Doom seemed to have won the Tag Team titles back when they hit the Doomsday Device, but as Animal went for the pin, the referee was distracted by Hawk's celebration, allowing the Outlaws to take advantage and win the match. Hawk and Animal immediately entered into a feud with Demolition, the team McMahon had supposedly created in their likeness three years earlier, which led into a televised six-man tag-team match where Hawk and Animal teamed up with WWF World Heavyweight Champion Ultimate Warrior against all three members of Demolition. When Hawk and Animal signed with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in June 1990, Vince McMahon retired the Road Warriors moniker, since at the time there was other wrestlers with "warrior" in their names, such as The Ultimate Warrior and Kerry Von Erich "The Modern Day Warrior".

The Road Warriors made appearances in the video games WCW Wrestling, WWF WrestleFest, WWF European Rampage Tour, the SNES version of WWF Super WrestleMania, Legends of Wrestling, Legends of Wrestling II, and Showdown: Legends of Wrestling as well as in the THQ wrestling games WWE SmackDown!
