I was born disabled in a wheelchair my whole life. Before Clash of the Champions on TBS I met Road Warrior Hawk(RIP) at Caesars Palace Casino and he was so kind. He took time and talked with me and my dad. Hawk was truly a kind soul.
Hawk and Animal were an attraction like Andre or Brock today. They weren't built to be in the same territory every week. You cant just see a guy or guys squash everyone every week it gets tired quick. When Hawk and Animal showed up a few times a year on a show you were aching to see them just obliterate whoever was in the ring. When they were in WWE or WCW they had to lose sometimes which sucked. You want to hear their theme music, watch them walk in and kill people and leave for a few months and then do it again.
I was watching old Raw episodes from the late 90’s and it sucked watching them fall apart. Wish Hawk didn’t go down the dark path he went down because they would have dominated the tag team division a lot longer.
The Road Warriors probably spawned more imitators than any other wrestling gimmick in history, except perhaps Superstar Billy Graham. At one point in the 80s, every wrestling promotion in the world from the USA to Japan, had a roided up tag team with face paint. Many big names in the last 35 years of wrestling, from Sting to Ultimate Warrior to Kevin Nash, started off as an LOD imitator.
Hello James.. I would like too wish you a Merry Christmas and thanks for this video.. Road Warriors are definately one of the best tagteams of all time no question.. Glad too see Too Cold share a some memories. Also that orbital bone situation would have been insane too see in person..
The Road Warriors were hyped to the max. Even special characters on the arcade game. In reality when they came to the WWF. They were way past their best. Demolition were far better, at least before Crush came along. I liked Barbarian, him and Haku would have been an amazing team
Yes I think WWF wasted Barbarian. Warlord is a decent and like able guy. Just couldn't get the gimmick right for him. I think precious was with Warlord in NWA? I can't remember his ring name. He looked better without the paint etc and silly hair. She probably fancied him till he opened his mouth? I would have loved a woman like her, strong. I live in the UK and when satellite TV came about and we could watch wrestling in late 80's. It was amazing!@@davenwatts8173
I don’t think Scorpio could have taken Hawk not on drugs or Hep C meds! I think Hawk was in a bad place at that time and if this fight had happened in 90, Hawks taken him all day! Like Scorpio, but guys like him like to think they are more than they really are!
And the Road Warriors? That was the last we ever saw of them. They live now.....only in our memories.....(ominous music plays and fades, screen goes to black).
I heard that Hawk was on some medication for an illness and it made him weak so thats why scorpio was able to whip his ass, this has been told by other wrestlers.
Nobody and nobody ever kicked the shit out of the Road warriors. When Randy savage punched Hawk, he did it from behind. Then even had the cards to do it in front of his face. Is nobody fucked with the road wears. So when this guy says he wooped hawks ass he's full of shit...
One second, 2 cold is being held back with his arms pinned down…next second those guys holding him down have vanished and 2 cold is rope a doping and blasting hawk and pulling his eye out ….. Sounds fake to me.
Nah, Road Warriors were way bigger worldwide and way more important than the Steiners. When it comes to importance to the business, influencing the business and all that they are second only to the Fabulous Kangaroos who made Tag Team Wrestling a main event attraction.
@@ShadowAngel18606 Steiners were the best combination of drawing and in ring work. LOD lost some of their luster near the end when they allowed scrubs like Rockabilly and the Really FAKE Double J to humiliate them. Steiners never wouldve alliwed that. They wouldve quit. The fact that LOD got so desperate that theyd go along with something like that makes them #2 imo

R.I.P. Road Warriors
I agree r.i.p.. but ur green bay logo... I live 40 mins from green bay.. it's great
The lists of the best tag teams in the world begins and ends with The Road Warriors .
Merry Christmas, WSI and its viewers.
RIP to Hawk and Animal.
Barbarian and Warlord were exceptional athletes for their size. Incredibly fast and explosive! Long live the Legion of Doom the Road Warriors!
The Road Warriors were my all time favorite tag team wwe made them look like punks towards the end of their career
What a RUSH!!!!! Im 40 now, as a kid I loved the Road Warriors. R.I.P Animal and Hawk

Always easier to make yourself into a tough guy when the other guy has passed
Hawk would have MURDERED scorpio
@MrEllis99 Google scorpio....sounds like he was legit & it's at least believable that he could take hawk
Merry Christmas James & the WSI family, thanks for another years worth of entertainment!
Merry Christmas to you too!! 🎄☃️🎄
What a Rush!!!!!!!! /Pop 🚨so sad when Animal 🕷 returned without Hawk 🦅on Smackdown in 2012 😥😥😥

That fucking pipsqueak couldn't whip Hawk in his wildest dreams. LOL
Other wrestlers that attended that event can attest to 2 Cold Scorpio kicking his ass during that event. So, yeah.
@@officegossipyep. Scorpio is legit, so the stories go.....

No one beleaves homie beat up hawk.
Right
2 cold Scorpio? Nah, yall gotta Google him. He's legit & it's very believable that he could take hawk....
Not in Mikes prime . Hawk was getting old and had liver problems
James you’re the best! Dutch is out of hospital thank goodness

All true

Barb and Haku WERE a team. Faced the Rockers at Wm 7
Yes but they should have been together 5-10 years. Not just at the end?@@Nostalgia9478
In wcw they were the Faces of Fear.Scary.
Ty for us who want a show on Christmas !! Merry Christmas everyone
Scorpio: I wasn't trying to steal...
Goes ahead and steals
He thinks he beat Hawk's ass ? He claimed to be willing to take Sid down ... SMH
@MrEllis99 Only in his dreams he can whip Hawk.
The size of the guys today is way wrestling doesn't draw fans
Road Warriors = Pro Wrestling Royalty
I don’t think Scorpio could have taken Hawk not on drugs or Hep C meds! I think Hawk was in a bad place at that time and if this fight had happened in 90, Hawks taken him all day! Like Scorpio, but guys like him like to think they are more than they really are!
he sucker punched hawk from behind...
And the Road Warriors? That was the last we ever saw of them. They live now.....only in our memories.....(ominous music plays and fades, screen goes to black).
Powers of Pain sounds like something Hawk would come up with
Road Warrior ' Animal RIP ☠️🙏 9/22/2020
SHEEPHERDER Luke is just plain nuts!
Too cold scorpio selling like a mofo hawk beat the shit outta him yhe other huys pulled hawk off and told him it wasnt a fair fight
I heard that Hawk was on some medication for an illness and it made him weak so thats why scorpio was able to whip his ass, this has been told by other wrestlers.
the only wrestler who ever said Scorpio beat hawk is Scorpio 😂
Happy Christmas James and Dutch !! ❤
@33:48…The Warriors did wrestle the Rock n Roll Express in the WWF. Jan 24 1998 Shotgun Saturday Night.
Thee Greatest Tag Team In Pro Wrestling History....Point Blank Period💯💪
Dudley Boyz sorry

The Steiners would beat their ass with no problems. So would Haku and The Barbarian
@wizardwaluigi8623 Several witnesses said no punches were thrown .
Road Warrior' Hawk RIP ☠️🙏 10/19/2003.
One second, 2 cold is being held back with his arms pinned down…next second those guys holding him down have vanished and 2 cold is rope a doping and blasting hawk and pulling his eye out …..
Sounds fake to me.
Second GOAT tag team imo, behind only the Steiners
Agreed
@DWVigilante Nope

Never met Animal. Got to work Hawk,Balls, and Sabu with Sullivan and Storm. Two weeks later Hawk was dead. RIP
Merry Christmas.
Meet them at War Games
2 Cold Scorpio was bigger back in the day. Hes from the hood, he could have held his own
🤣
Lol there are all kinds of people from everywhere.
Wishful thinking .
I ant saying it wouldn't have been a good fight but cold didn't just man handle prime hawk or take a full blast and laugh it off .
3:29 that was animal that burnt his leg
Bigger and stronger..nope
🧱Norton🧱 would've been great in the wwe against any of the big guys.
