Written by OWW Radio’s Alan Wojcik:
They “snacked on danger & dined on death,” competed in WarGames, the Night of the SkyWalkers, the Tower of Doom and against the best tag teams of the 1980’s and 1990’s. Many consider the Road Warriors best tag team of all-time (Sorry Team 3D) being the only team to win the GCW, AJPW, AWA, WWE & NWA/WCW World Tag Team championships. They certainly are one of the most intimidating and impersonated figures in wrestling (see Demolition, Powers of Pain, et al.) Hawk and Animal along with their manager “Precious” Paul Ellering used to scare the crap out of their opponents while bringing people out of their seats causing the backstage phrased “Road Warrior Pop.” But everything you saw on WTBS, TNT, USA and WWE syndicated programming is nothing to the life backstage and out of ring.
