What are your thoughts on The Road Warriors A.K.A The Legion Of Doom
It always bothered me how one was named after an animal and the other was just named Animal.
>>21450896One of the best teams ever. I want a new Road Warriors tag team managed by Paul Ellering and Animal: Havoc and Anarchy - the New Road Warriors. Book it!
Road Warriors in WWF aren't canon
>>21450896Giga based. Even in the attitude era they were getting major pops the minute their theme played.
>>21450896cool. but not as based as Demolition
Based in the NWA and WCW, cringe in the WWF.
>>21450896Based as heck. >>21450906Didn't they already try that during the RE era with Heindrich and it ended up flopping?
>>21450969This
>>21450969I prefer powers of pain
>>21450896>Promo 10>Look 11>In-ring 4They get their accolades but I don't think they get enough credit for their promo work. Hawk especially was on another level.
>>21450896The Road Warriors fucking ruleI'd rather watch them than say the Young Bucks or the Vision.
>>21450896Didn't Hawk knock out Randy Savage with a single punch? Or was it Animal that did that?
>>21450906If we go by their OG naming pattern we could see>Eagle and Gorilla>Vulture and Lion>Condor and Shark >Owl and PantherOr something
>>21450906They’re impossible to recreateLike their whole gimmick had underlining tones of extreme masculinity that really could only exists in the late 80s. It’s that perfect Venn Diagram of action movies, bodybuilding, rock and metal, a slight tinge of social Darwinism, and the idgaf attitude of American men in the post-world Vietnam war era. In a world of breaking kayfabe for goofy social media like and appearances, these guys will never exist
It's a shame there is so little video footage of them coming out to Sabbath's Iron Man as they did in the territories/Japan
>>21452767>In ring Who gives a shit
>>21452745They were badass too. Once Vince got the real thing tho, all those guys were toast.
>>21453517You're wrong. It would be>Animal and Gorilla>Animal and Lion>Animal and Shark>Animal and Panther
>>21453577>had underlining tones of extreme masculinityAnd that's the problem, Western Society today absolutely shuns any masculine traits in and demonizes men constantly A team like the Road Warriors today would court instant controversy and twitter marks running cancel campaigns because it'd make them feel 'unsafe'
>>21453517>Road Warrior Gorilla Sounds absolutely fucking based >Road Warrior Shark10/10>Road Warrior PantherCould work>Road Warrior VultureFits the dining on death bit
>>21453577I'd say lean into rap as a musical basis but even rappers nowadays are emasculated homosexualsThere's sadly no longer any angry "I fucking hate you" music these days
>>21453627There's only one Road Warrior Animal, and he's deadSo we're gonna have to pick something else for the other one.
>>21453630>Western Society today absolutely shuns any masculine traits in and demonizes men constantlyIf you pushback they usually cower down, people who demonize masculinity are usually just beta males and feminist women. The problem is, that's the main demographic of wrestling fans nowadays, back then they were extremely popular because most of the fans were working class men, we somehow got infiltrated by all the faggy theatre kids.
>>21455066All forms of entertainment got hijacked by faggy theater kids, except possibly actual sports
>>21455455Most sports nowadays have trans athletes, female referees, female commentators, black women in the corporate setting, etc. They're everywhere now.
>>21455455Culture got taken over by HR KarensWe can try to fight back but every attempt at making our own thing, like they tell us to do, gets attacked by them too
>>21450896i don't like hawk because he called 2 cold scorpio a niggerbut at least he apologized and they made up
>Hawk gets hit with Kane's chokeslam followed by RVD's Five Star>Kicks out at 3.5 and immediately rolls out of the ring and walks off like nothing happenedWhy did he do it
>>21450896they're nice, I dragged my parent to a Toysrus autograph signing 3 hours away and we missed them by the time we got there but they left a bunch of those wwf autograph mat 8x10s behind, signed, that would never fucking happen these days with Fanatics, resellers, and wrestlers like matt cardona
