Road Warrior Animal dies
Road Warrior Animal passes away
WWE is saddened to learn that Joe Laurinaitis, known to WWE fans as Road Warrior Animal, has passed away at the age of 60. One of the most intense Superstars to ever step into the squared circle, the 6-foot-2, 300-pound Animal spent the majority of his career alongside his tag team partner, Hawk. Together, they formed what was arguably the most successful, popular and feared tandem of all time — The Road Warriors. With their intimidating face paint, outfits covered in metal spikes and impressive array of power moves, the duo captured titles and destroyed opponents wherever they roamed. Their dominance made them so popular that the phrase "Road Warrior pop" has been used in locker rooms to describe particularly deafening reactions from the crowd ever since. The Road Warriors thrived in multiple stints with WWE, where they were known as The Legion of Doom. The team won the World Tag Team Titles on two occasions and were eventually enshrined in the WWE Hall of Fame. WWE extends its condolences to Laurinaitis' family, friends and fans. That is probably the most popular tag team of all time both gone now. |

It's hard for me to believe with the average age of this forum that basically everyone here doesn't remember the Road Warriors.

I remember when they had the debacle in the eighties w/ Jimmy Hart, Jerry Lawler and Austin Idol, and Rick Rude was in the middle of the drama constantly.

They're probably in the top 5 for memorable wrestling acts of the 80s and probably the most iconic tag team of all time.
You know you're shit is over when the copies of you get over...Vince pulled that one. |

I'm not really familiar with wrestling, so I apologize for thinking this thread was about Mad Max's dog.
May the man RIP. |
