I met Joe in real life a few years back. He gave me some damn great power lifting tips. Humble for someone who has always been larger than life. I told him of my personal struggles, he didn't scoff or act higher than me, he told me not to end up like the people I used to(and still do at times) admire that passed away. A true class act, and to be honest, I'd still rather be on his good side than bad. Even with age, you can tell you wouldn't want to piss him off.
R.I.P. Road Warrior Hawk... And now sadly R.I.P. Road Warrior Animal....it's sad how these pro wrestlers just drop like flies....all the guys I loved watching as a kid growing up are all gone almost
Was it Animal putting his last dollar on the line to make Wrestlemania work? Don't compare the owner, the guy who risked everything, to an employee, If Vince, the owner, doesn't want nepotism among his employees, the guys who didn't risk everything for the company, then that's how it is. If Animal didn't like it, he could have started his own company,.
fjvideo to be fair though the wrestling/sports entertainment business has always survived and thrived off nepotism. It’s the reason commentators bring up being 2nd 3rd and 4th generation lineages all the time. Whenever The Rocks daughter, DBs daughter, if John Cena ever has offspring there will be jobs waiting for them.
So he doesn't have a right to voice his opinion and point out obvious double standards?If you don't like what he's saying, put your head back up Vince's ass and drown it out.
Animal could provide so much help to other wrestler's. He has been vocal about wanting to help. They are crazy for not utilizing this man's experience and point of view.
Can you imagine the state of the Tag Team Division if Animal could have trained some of these teams, damn just the thought of him helping build the next gen of tag teams is awesome to think about
With Joe's tragic passing,I wouldn't have John go anywhere near the Laurinaitis Estate..............He'd probably look at making a fortune from his brothers death.
I know it could never happen, but drawing inspiration from "real life issues draw money" Imagine if Animal were still here, and he forced Lauranaitis into a death match and beat the living hell out of him for 12 mins, eventually declaring his victory in the name of all the people whose careers he shafted, women he either traumatised or hurt, and people he's backstabbed. (JR on commentary saying "put his ass through the mat, Animal!") We will never know, but a guy can dream. GBNF Animal. As for his brother, the sooner we can wish him the worst in his final endeavours... The better!
I keep wondering what would he be thinking about his brother now? After all this crap is coming out about him + Vince's treatment of that poor girl. Then he claims he was a victim? Then why did he go back to work for him after leaving there if he was such a victim? He was Free but chose to go back.
With Hawk and Animal dead, the only ones I could trust in keeping the Road Warriors' legacy alive are Paul Ellering and Kensuke Sasaki (Power Warrior).
As a youngster, I used to wanna be Hawk, therefore I don't even care about him being racist because he was someone that motivated me to strive to be tough... RIP Hawk with your racist ass
We was the jannetty of the group. The Robert Gibson. Hawk was the cooler one, the one with the phrase, the one that went on the top rope to do the finisher.
John was screwing his brother over. If he wanted his brother to do more stuff he definitely could've gotten it approved. Especially knowing how close he and Vince actually was 🤷🏿♂️
My guess is Animals brother didn’t wanna share the spotlight. Since he was the office, I’m assuming he got in Vince’s ear to do what John wanted not animal.
They need to bring animal back onto WWE Raw so that the people can see him again because I love the Legion of Doom LOD they were good tag team back in the day but they need to bring animal back on the raw like they do all the other wrestlers
It's vince's hatred for wcw stars. If you were a big draw in wcw, you pretty much got the shaft if you didn't jump ship before the wwf take over ( like flair) that's why flair was in, and sting , the road warriors , the non kiss asses, we're out.
I get why Animal is upset...but at the same time he and Hawk walked out on Vince twice. He's also not Shawn Michaels or Austin or Bret Hart by himself...and no one liked that LOD reboot in the mid 2000s. I think his brother, as big of of a tool as he is was probably trying to avoid telling him that in 2002 he wasn't worth what Animal thinks he was.
I’m totally unfamiliar with this guy but my impression is that he sounds credible. I wonder who paints his face? How does he get it off? Excellent work.
Why has Animal not been invited by the WWE to work Fan Axxess? Answer: the WWE has not had any tag team become as popular as the Road Warriors were and still are. Believe it or not, Vince takes that SERIOUSLY.
According to this interview, I think it's more a family thing. Animal clearly said that the money issue created friction between him and his brother, who was in charge of talent relations and booking this type of events. I don't think Vince is to blame, after all he allowed Animal to have merch (like a dvd set), a second run as a wrestler, and to be inducted into the HOF.
Nepotism? The guy was one of the most successful tag team wrestlers of all time and half of one of the most well known and famous tag teams inside and outside of pro wrestling.
Love the Animal , LOD Road Warriors we're the best but I hate it when these guys eat and drink during these interviews on videos or TV, they are being paid good money in these vids , eat drink after it take a break
HULK RUNNIN WILD NIGGA HOGAN not really sure of your point, are you passionate about people being interviewed allowed to ear and drink in the middle of the interview?? Iyour hateful language is embarrassing, are you just looking to try and get a " rise " out if people?
WWE seems to only bring people under contracts with for fan axxcess events , my take on this is the Road Warriors weren't WWE's creation they brought them in at there peak made some money let em go and brought them back for one last embarrsssing run basically jobbing them out ruining there worth to other FED's , they have a huge history of doing this to outside stars and I'm sure Vince has heat of some kind with them LOD came to the WWF only after they went every where else first even turning down offers from the WWF I'm sure it pissed Vince off . As you hear here they were ripping LOD off with there merch money .
Who is this cat interviewing Animal? He looks really familiar. John probably told Animal so not to hurt his feelings. I loved the Road Warriors but in all honesty how much wrestling could Joe teach anybody. Those guys were useless if you took them off their feet. I'd think that Greg Gagne could teach more than Animal or Hawk could - and I respect those guy's carreers just not their wrestling skills.
It's actually pretty simple why were didn't ask animal to do any of this, his brother black balled him, plane and simple, proof being look at some of those the WWE hired to do these things, 90% never main evented a card their entire career, most of the trainers are very poor wrestlers most actually quit wrestling for the fact they couldn't carry out an arm drag or back flip, or couldn't work the mic, hmm yet they are training the newbies, it's your brother animal
Y’know, I have seen multiple interviews with Animal and so I know that he isn’t “only” a crazed maniac yearning for the days of old, but this interview of him seeming like ac razed maniac while eating pizza and acting like he hasn’t had a meal since he left Summer Slam back in 92’ w/ Hawk. I mean we know you aren’t “Classy” but shit man, do you think you could have at least ate your Dinner after the interview? Do you think that this shoot might have made you look in a better light if you had not ate with your mouth open and food falling from your mouth? Just a thought maybe. #what_a_rush.
Rex ) He and Hawk The Road Warriors went into the HOF 2011 with Paul ellering with him and he brought a little Hawk Action Figure. But anyway I hope there in this year's game cuz it's been years but I doubt it. The reason you gave not seen him on WWE TV ir in WWE 2K Series or New Action figures which Animal seems to forget to mention. He is part of the lawsuit from Mabel Aka Big Daddy V aka Visera Death. The guy dies when he he was wrestling in the Indies but anyway 600+ pounds and his Wife and Lawyer's are trying to sue the only Company that has Money 💰💰 💰 when he last wrestled like 4-5 years for them before his Death so she trying to blame just them for his heart attack. And I think they sent his belrain to that freaking nerd Nowinski who finds everything wrong with everyone's head. And I think they found he had the CTE like how they found in Benoit and then the Wife started saying he was acting different but she never said this before only a year after his brain results were done and explained to her. And they went and got a bunch of old School Wrestler's to join the lawsuit to Sue WWE for the Concussions and all the guys who need Money jumped on it to try to win some 💰💰 💰. And Animal is one of those guys which I remember the first year of it he was in the wee game and they took The Road Warriors out and a bunch of other Legends top old School names. I don't know where it stands but I think it's still going and it's been like 6-7 Year's. And the fans pay for it cuz we don't get to play them in the Games. So he's not innocent and likes to leave shit behind and I'm a huge LOD fan. Still the GOAT Tag Team, Entrance music and Gear if all time. So it's gonna be tuff but I hope that shit is done so they can be in the game. But since this is a New interview I'm guessing it's still the same and if you look back at the 2000s up to his 2011 Hall Of Fame then I think 2012 was it they were in all the time. Can't wait till that music hits and there back in the game.

I honestly had no idea they were brothers. Crazy
John Laurinitis is a real piece of work how are you gonna lie to your own brothers face. Smh
Family Will Turn On You More Than Your Friends Will.
you expect more from your family to the point where you forget they're human just like everyone else
My brother did......
Maybe it was easier than saying: “Joe… comparing yourself and Heidenreich to Hogan and Bret Hart? How big is your head bro?”
I would love to hear what u have to say bout laurinitis now 3 yrs later lmao now he really a POS
R.I.P. Road Warrior Hawk...
And now sadly R.I.P. Road Warrior Animal....it's sad how these pro wrestlers just drop like flies....all the guys I loved watching as a kid growing up are all gone almost
Nepotism in the WWE.. Animal is right on the money. I think he would of made a great agent
Ahhh.... Vinnie McMahon, Linda McMahon, Stephie McMahon, Hunter Hearst McMahon, Nothing to see here folks!

Don't compare the owner, the guy who risked everything, to an employee, If Vince, the owner, doesn't want nepotism among his employees, the guys who didn't risk everything for the company, then that's how it is.

It's true. His whole family runs the company including his son n law. He can't play the nepotism card.
The road warriors were not Vince’s creation he never puts over the guys he didn’t create.
I agree. Ric Flair, Chris Jericho, never got anywhere in WWE.
Monty Robertson thank you I have been saying this to dudes forever now. I think Johnny ace just didn’t care to give him a job.
And he's never been a huge fan of tag teams.
True. Roman Reigns is proof of that.
@@montyrobertson7362 Their gimmick was over and the best heels ever

No one has a good word to say about Johnny Ace.

Hate to see icons of our generation get screwed.
NaughtyNomadFitness tell me about it!!!
That fuckin Vince for you fuck vince
NaughtyNomadFitness the merchandise was like for all the 80 guys. GuyS didn't get alot of money off merch til the attitude era
Hawk and Animal made pretty darn good money off of Zubaz. He isn't poor, unless he blew it all.
Icons ....one of them was a Racist Cocaine addict ...
His brother has a reputation of being a despicable man.
Listen to JRs podcast where he tells the story of how Laurentiis backdoored him out of the talent relations job.
Check out what happened today. Madone
@@oldcaptaintwotimes see the latest WWE news? Yikes....
AHEM... good call.
This comment continues to age like wine.
No brainer. If i was making those calls- Animal would be at EVERY event-
Animal could provide so much help to other wrestler's. He has been vocal about wanting to help. They are crazy for not utilizing this man's experience and point of view.
The Road Warrior's are the greatest tagteam in wrestling history. 👍
R.I.P Animal. love you brother
Kinda funny to see the less vocal enforcer of the group in his scary spider facepaint explaining this situation completely with such gentle energy.
Can you imagine the state of the Tag Team Division if Animal could have trained some of these teams, damn just the thought of him helping build the next gen of tag teams is awesome to think about
Vince McMahon was John's real eskimo brother. That's what truly mattered.
Sorry. Nepotism isn’t allowed, Animal. That is, of course, unless you’re literally any ‘island boy’ ever.
Every time i think of this with Animal gone is that clip from Walk Hard.
Wrong kid died
With Joe's tragic passing,I wouldn't have John go anywhere near the Laurinaitis Estate..............He'd probably look at making a fortune from his brothers death.
This has aged well. Johnny Ace = not a good guy
Rest in peace to The Road Warrior made they rest in peace
Rest In Peace
Loved l.o.d RIP hawk
PR9VES THE POINT THAT FAMILY MEMBERS ARE ALWAYS THE FIRST TO FUCK YOU OVER
Johnny was too busy shitting on diva's heads with Vince to help his bother out and do something that would help the company
I feel like Johnny Ace and Animal are on completely opposite sides personality wise
I know it could never happen, but drawing inspiration from "real life issues draw money"
Imagine if Animal were still here, and he forced Lauranaitis into a death match and beat the living hell out of him for 12 mins, eventually declaring his victory in the name of all the people whose careers he shafted, women he either traumatised or hurt, and people he's backstabbed.

We will never know, but a guy can dream. GBNF Animal.
As for his brother, the sooner we can wish him the worst in his final endeavours... The better!
Would love to see a "Call it Even" match and watch Johnny Ace get his receipts from Animal that he deserves !!
i bought a LOD bandana from a wwf show at sheffield arena in 1991/92
I keep wondering what would he be thinking about his brother now? After all this crap is coming out about him + Vince's treatment of that poor girl. Then he claims he was a victim? Then why did he go back to work for him after leaving there if he was such a victim? He was Free but chose to go back.
Lol not exactly a lot of job opportunities out there in professional wrestling. Where else would he go?
With Hawk and Animal dead, the only ones I could trust in keeping the Road Warriors' legacy alive are Paul Ellering and Kensuke Sasaki (Power Warrior).
“We snack on danger and dine on pizza”

As a youngster, I used to wanna be Hawk, therefore I don't even care about him being racist because he was someone that motivated me to strive to be tough... RIP Hawk with your racist ass
I still have my original Road Warriors RemCo AWA wrestling figures. RIP Animal.
See not even animal could stand his own brother John
Can you imagine how better the tag team Wrestling, or even all the Wrestling in WWE would be if Animal had been training there for the last Decade?
We was the jannetty of the group. The Robert Gibson. Hawk was the cooler one, the one with the phrase, the one that went on the top rope to do the finisher.
John was screwing his brother over. If he wanted his brother to do more stuff he definitely could've gotten it approved. Especially knowing how close he and Vince actually was 🤷🏿♂️

dude gives interviewer a run for his money man
“Yea bring me some pizza and some drugs I’ll do a interview” 💀💀
3minutes and 42 seconds of why Mike hegstrand was animals REAL brother. Not John snake lauranaitis.
never let money affect the relationship with ur family! Money doesn't care about u.
SHELLBACKS CLUB 🐢 If your family betrays you for money, they can’t be trusted.
Even his brother knew Johnny was a scumbag.
My guess is Animals brother didn’t wanna share the spotlight. Since he was the office, I’m assuming he got in Vince’s ear to do what John wanted not animal.
I be scared if animal was my brother and was screwing him over about the royalty money
The fucking road warriors!!! 👍👍👍 the best ohhhhhhh what a rush!!!!!!!
His own brother lied to him. What a scumbag.
Wrong brother died.
Does dude ever not wear the facepaint?! I swear youd think it was a tattoo lol.
Kayfabe Son.....Kayfabe
Lmao people within WWE didn't like Johnny ace why would road warrior animal think they would bend over backwards for him
Rip Animal
Is it really nepotism when you’re brother is shoot one of the best of all time
They need to bring animal back onto WWE Raw so that the people can see him again because I love the Legion of Doom LOD they were good tag team back in the day but they need to bring animal back on the raw like they do all the other wrestlers

Good matchs between race/hanson and the road warriors
God i miss the road warriors. seeing them brutalize other tag teams was quite a rush. Animal- you ever decide to run for president you got my vote.

Getting a higher deal cuz of your brother is the definition of nepotism
I’m totally unfamiliar with this guy but my impression is that he sounds credible.
I wonder who paints his face? How does he get it off? Excellent work.

Is anyone else distracted by that pizza going cold?
CAH
Crimes Against Humanity
Cold pizza is pretty good though, maybe the only fast food that is pretty enjoyable when it's cold (unlike a burger or hot-dog).
sounds like his brother was jealous
I had no idea they were brothers.
I can;t believe the WWE wouldn't want 1/2 of the greatest tag team of all time helping train the wrestlers of tomorrow. What a waste of talent!
Can't you see John giving Animal a Nugie! Family reunions must be a blast!
Prisoner Zero maybe the other way around
I saw those shoulder pads online for $540.00
It’s hard to believe that John and Joe are related let alone brothers
pizza looks good.
Like, really really effing good. way to go
The guy with the face paints my grandpa I promised Go follow me I’ll do a video about him and also with him

So...nepotism is the reason why Joe here is part of the lame ass concussion lawsuit against WWE.
the main event is really the last match.
Not for that ppv it was in Chicago and LOD is from Chicago that audience went nuts and wanted see LOD
