Road Warrior Animal passes away at the age of 60

And Edge too, of all people.

And Hogan! :smiley: (Remember Wrestlemania X8?)

Thatā€™s about as disappointing a choice of moments to reflect on The Road Warriors accomplishments as the ā€œRemembering Road Warrior Animalā€™s Legendary Careerā€ tribute on the WWE Network.

Yeah the entrance was cool but the actual match was terrible (Hawk was messed up).

I donā€™t think LOD ever felt special in WWE mostly because they werenā€™t a Vince creation. Just look at all the dumb shit WWE made them do - from Rocko to drunk Hawk to LOD 2000.

To me they always felt like way bigger stars in Japan or with Crockett.

Iā€™m sorry, I didnā€™t know.

EDIT: I was talking as a WWF fan, not a wrestling fan.

I thought that Money Inc. was a great heel tag team and that the LOD gelled with them well at that time in Wembley Stadium.

No need to apologise! If you have time check out these matches. A good selection from different periods over their careers.

Thanks.

Would you say that the angle with the New Age Outlaws was also one of the worst? They were humiliated beyond belief and didnā€™t even manage to get the revenge push they need and take the title from the New Age Outlaws.

That would have been the natural conclusion of such an angle, but they did need to push the Outlaws. Itā€™s just unfortunate that theyā€™d have to sacrifice someone like the LOD.

Pretty much everything they did in the WWF/WWE was dreadful other than a few things in their first run (1990-1992). Certainly everything from 1997 onwards. Primarily that was the fault of Vinnie Mac; he just didnā€™t know how to book them and they didnā€™t really fit the WWF/WWE style.

Go give some love to Paul Ellering @PaulElleringWWE

He seems to be really down, devastated. :pensive:

No disagreement regarding the second run, but that first run was awesome. I was a little kid at that time and I remember thinking that LOD were the biggest bad asses I had ever seen in wrestling at that point.
