As a kid in the 5th grade, back in those days, we didn't get to see the Road Warriors till they came to the NWA. Otherwise, there was no TV coverage of them. We only knew about their dominance in the AWA and in Japan from magazines. Every Sunday after Church, my Mom and I would head to the supermarket.

@rudy2fat Don't think we are talking about the same thing. As a team of "workers", the Midnight gets the nod. Even the Road Warriors themselves would acknowledge this in many of their shoot interviews. Great Heel teams can make or break the babyface teams. Granted the Road Warriors didn't have to solely depend them or any others, but their feuds with the Midnight Express and the Four Horseman made them a bunch of money and helped cement their place in Tag Team History.
It’s really gotten me back into wrestling, especially seeing so many of these guys that I may have seen on a Saturday morning highlight reel in their prime
he is talking about actual in ring performing not just being over with the fans. they did get pretty good very quickly and they were willing to learn which made them even better wrestlers. they are underrated as most people dont consider them technicians in the ring but for huge dudes and for there style they are pretty technical.
@@user-sf8kf7yu1sbecause when the old guard retired or passed on there was no one left to properly train the next generation. They imitate moves they see in matches without the understanding of "why" or how to sell properly. It has literally devolved into poorly reenacted and badly coached children on a tumbling team.
The trophy that Ellering is carrying is the Jim Crockett Memorial Cup, which they won in April of 1986. They defeated Magnum TA and Ron Garvin in the finals to win the cup as well as thr $1,000,000 cash prize.
There is now way they won $1mil , it's all fake even the amount of prize money, a few interviews and they are asked what was there best pay day and it was for Vince McMahon and not even close to $1mil , even the merchandise from McMahon want close to million
Without a doubt one of the most exciting moments of my life was getting a photo taken with the L.O.D after there match at the HERSHEYPARK ARENA back in 1990!!! WHAT A RUSH!!!
Never seen Hawk so man handled as he was at the end of that match, drop kicked, back to back suplex, bulldogged, spiked piledrived then german suplexed.......wow.....that german suplex can be dangerous for a big man too, but he tugged his chin well
The Road Warriors really fit better with the Japanese style, Everything fits the crowd and timing so well. They had time to actually sell and progress a match rather than another 3-minute squash.
Wrestling fans in this time were the best. We all had something in common and can go over friends houses and watch the great wrestling matches. best fans around!!

Glad I'm not the only who remembers Paul was actually an accomplished power lifter back in the day and yeah he was a muscular freak when he was wrestling full time .
Just my .02, I miss these days....... Just saying..... Glad I got to see bits and pieces back in the day, makes me realize how great these Men were, even with all there faults/demons/problems and how much they are missed.....

So true.

@Putin’s Shoulder Angel And this is a fact, the numbers of viewers alone is proof, attitude era is just unsurpassed
Yes I miss it
They can't waiting to get out....love the way Hawk hit that door...like the Saturn V about to take off.
For me personally 1978- end of Monday night wars was a great time to be a wrestling fan. The LOD are the greatest tagteam of all time
What a time to be a fan. Seeing the Road Warriors run through the crowd, no separation from the fans. Crazy and raw.
Now Zodi77 would say "What a time.. "
And Hawk would say "Whaaaa A Rush.. "
@Zodi77 Well considering their is no ramp or guard rails separating them from the fans on their path to the ring. They had to run in for their own personal security.
Same Era u grew up watching
How many innocent fans do you think got stabbed by all those spikes ! 😂
Then watching Brody swing his chain inches above their heads lol some of the coolest shit in wrestling ever!!!
リングに居るだけで圧倒的な存在感！今のプロレスには無い迫力があり本当にプロレスが楽しかった時代
いま見てもテンション上がる！
そして会場の熱気が凄い。まさに興奮のルツボと化している。
Well said
世界のプロレスでロ一ドウォリアーズを知り全日本プロレスに参戦すると知った時は歓喜しましたね😄
当時は各会場に車での追っかけギャルも居た異様な人気だったなあ
ロードウオリアーズ！かっこいいなぁ！！懐かしいなぁ！！大好きだったなぁ！！、二人共この世に居ない残念だ、長州若い、この当時殺気が凄い！！
この時34歳でした。
小学生の頃、リアルタイムで見てたけど、長州力もロードウォリアーズもめちゃくちゃかっこよかった。

長州は外人といい試合が出来ないなどと
煽っていたけど、ウォリアーズやリックマーテル、デッドデビアスなど、いい試合していたよ。

The most intimidating entrance in wrestling history The Mighty Road Warriors nobody compares !!
Except for Demolition
*"Iron Man" was their best theme music ever. When I used to hear it playing in the NWA, I KNEW that it was time for someone to get beat up quickly.*
CORRECT!! "Iron Man" was the perfect theme music for The Road Warriors.
Did Animal often trip over the railing too whenever they barged out to “Iron Man?”
@@westyraviz*, it didn't happen TOO often. 🤣😂😂🤣*

今見ると谷津ってカッコいいなぁ。小学生だった時には気付きもしなかった。
反則負けだけど、ウォリアーズらしさが爆発した試合だ！今観ても興奮するな！
こんな試合に期待していた時代。熱かった。
元気でるナーこの時代のプロレス！😢ありがとう！
王者組の方が先に入場するって極めて異例
いかにロードウォリアーズが別格の待遇だったかがわかる
と言うか、花束嬢が居たからね、当時は。
ウォリアーズは、リングインしたらそのまま相手に突進する事が多かったから、先に長州たちをリングインさせたんだと思う😮
この時代の全日は外人の場合はよくこのパターンあったよね。
鶴田と天龍は一旦リング下に降りてウォリアーズに花持たすんやけど長州谷津はリング上で構えたねw
パワーとスピードの迫力。私は当時パワーリフトに興奮したな！入場と同時に先制攻撃！
この二人好きだったんだよな。ヒールに見えても実は真面目にプロレスしてるし試合中は反則を余りしないところが。今は二人共に天に召されてしまったけど。

Rest in Peace 🙏

谷津のジャーマンでウォリアーズのキャラが崩れたと怒っていたとか。
乱入でメチャクチャやって両手を上げてごまかすのが精一杯。
すごい谷津だ。
時が流れて今は面白い谷津、動画の背景がゆっくり動画風😂😂😂
今みたいに立派なLED照明や大画面があるわけでもなく入場曲だけのシンプルな演出だけど今のプロレスよりテンション上がるな
それ
逆に言えばそういう演出がない分、レスラーと観客の距離が近いのよ。この時代の熱気はもう手に入らないよなあ。
昭和時代のプロレスは本当にワクワクした。
新日本も全日本も面白かったですなぁ。アメリカのと言えばWWFは勿論、WCWが好きだったなぁ。
なによりもロード・ウォリアーズもアルティメット・ウォリーアにベイダーにビガロとかビッグ・ボスマンとかもいないのが寂しいなぁ。
この頃はNWAを脱退したWWFがテリトリー制を無視して全米侵攻して興行戦争になっててNWAとAWAが連合して抵抗しようとしたがWWFに勝てなかった。
So surreal getting to see all of this footage of The Road Warriors in Japan, after only seeing photos in the wrestling mags, back in the day.
It’s really gotten me back into wrestling, especially seeing so many of these guys that I may have seen on a Saturday morning highlight reel in their prime

They can't rest in peace. Heaven won't take them, hells afraid they'll take over.

谷津のいいジャーマンが決まり長州がリキラリアットでアニマルを迎撃、ポールエラリングが乱入しなければもしや大金星か・・・

ポールエラリングが乱入しなかった場合スリーカウント奪えたかどうか・・返した可能性が高いように思います。
追い込んだという意味では対ウォーリアーズの日本人タッグベストバウトだと思います。
翌年には自力で返してましたね。(五輪コンビ初戦)
ロードウォリアーズの登場は体のデカさパワー・ルックスに衝撃を受けたよなー。
