I still got an LOD pillow case from early 90s. I remember walking up to the merchandise table, knowing my Dad didn't have a lot money. With so much different merch, I'm glad I chose LOD. They'll always have that special spot in my memory/ heart. Thank You Pop, Thank you Wrestling...
I'm glad I was a wrestling fan back in the 1980s & 1990s. I sort of lost track of keeping up with wrestling after the 2000's, but from these stories I hear from various wrestlers, I definitely appreciate what they have done for fans. Like most wrestlers once you hear about their stories, most are genuinely cool and approachable guys.
That's shitty deal knowing they weren't taking care off the way they should have been. Appreciate all you did for the fans. You are both immortal and will never be forgotten. All the best
This video was uploaded 2 years ago, so I imagine it was shot a short time before upload. Man. Animal looks so healthy, happy, and alive. It's shocking that he just passed. Not to sound heartless, but when Hawk passed away, it wasn't a huge shock at the time bc I remember reading and seeing (when he was on TV) his struggles with alcohol and drugs. Life isn't fair sometimes. Rest is power Road Warriors. Your names shall live on forever.
healthy? nothing says healthy like a huge giant greasy, sauce drizzled pizza sitting next to the guy who is crushing the whole thing himself. Real healthy for sure.
Worked out, bench, with Hawk in Omaha once. He was So fkn strong! He warmed up with my current max and pushed me threw 4 more sets, I hit 350lb that day. Great time! I was beat!
Animal seems everyone has this image of you at your biggest. And fail to realize we all get older. Most wrestlers of years ago are slowly dying off. Be thankful that the remaining wrestlers are still here. Sharing their lives with us. I for one am grateful animal for the time out of your life to entertain the world. And the greatest memories. Thank you
After hearing a number of these stories, one question continues to occur to me: What idiot sees Haku in a bar and thinks, "Let me mess with that guy!"?
i pretty much guarantee if you ask anybody to name 5 tag teams past and present rod warriors/legion of DOOM and REAM 3D are there every time they deffo need to be in W.W.E H.O.F . Same as Chyna and Chris Beniot but thats a bit iffy lol
The legion of doom were the most exciting tag team ever. Loved the road warriors then. An still the best tag team that wwf ever had. Thanks for all the great memories hawk an animal provided me an thousands of fans. You guys were the best wwf had to offer. Luv you guys.
Seeing Animal and Hawk get legit pissed in the ring was priceless at The Cap Center back in the late 80s. Jobber hit Hawk with a real shot ... Hawk gorilla pressed dude ...threw him out out the ring and his leg hit the rail, snapping his leg. Back when they had the blue railing.
Wrestling stories are the best. You don't get these lines in regular stories: "You got a 500-pound a$$ in your face." "I'm going to eat your eyeball." (From a Terry Funk interview): "Then I saw there was a knife stuck in my leg. I was wondering how it got there."
"If Andre didn't like ya, he'd put you in the middle of the ring, sit on you and Fart in your face!" 😂🤣 LMFAO! Lots of love from your home of the Twin Cities! Fantastic interview! ❤
road warriors my favorite all time tag team.. I never knew Animal was from Philly. When Animal said Im from Philly I rather take care of the problem right there and now.. true Im from Philly thats how we are. no bullshit..
I enjoyed the meng and barbarian team more - faces of fear. Powers of pain just looked like a road warriors knockoff, which it was. Faces of fear haku and barbarian meshed perfectly.
Title Match continues to knock it out of the ball park!!! Thank You! i Met Animal a handful of times and he was a real dude!! Tell it like it is!!!! All u have is your word!!! I could listen to this all phuckin' day!!!! WCNXRadio.Com
Andre the Giant could drink the best of them under the table and not even flinch that man was truly a unique specimen and from what I've heard through the years and watching him up until his passing that he was a very gentle guy haku I would be scared to drink with that guy lol
I have never seen any people here in this website who ever didn't agree that Haku being the most toughest person, the one you would never want to get angry or mad at you.
Got to meet animal with Hacksaw Jim Duggan and they both were just awesome. They asked me questions, instead of me asking questions and what 2 great guys they were at a St Louis Cardinal game.
I remember Joe and Mike when they were Huge and owned the Golds Gym in Plymouth, MN. They used to drink at the Iron Horse in Crystal. My Buddy Wayne Prozinski introduced me to them. He knew Hawks Girlfriend, Judy P. I Wrestled after they did in Florida. Kurt Henning was Waynes Cousin from Robbinsdale. Jesse Ventura had the "BodyShop".
The closest I got to meeting Animal was his son @ the Arnold Classic. He looks to me just like his dad. Only thing missing was the face paint. I was able to share with him that I am a fan of The Road Warriors, & got a picture taken with him. 👍😀👍😀👍😀👍😀
Still one of my favorite (if not favorite) wrestling games ever, I loved that game. All the wrestlers were cool, DiBiase & Roberts had the best move sets IMO. 👍
King Haku was a Savage on the streets , he could take care of business . The same with "The Rocks" grandfather High Cheif Peter Maivia was another good streefighter who took care of business .
So sad that he passed...hope he got up there and they asked his name and he said "Tell em Hawk!" Though they all know who The Road Warriors are. R.I.P Animal!
Man legion of doom were my favourite tag team wrestlers ever! Remember going to Wrestle mania 8 in london and seeing them come out on Harleys to the ring, fucking brilliant!!
I grew up watching N.W.A.And Road warriors were the greatest Tag team of all time. Steiner Brothers close second. Then Rock-n-roll express. Then Midnighr Express. .
I'll ALWAYS and FOREVER be a Mega Fan of the Road Warriors!! Please, please please move into the "next phase" of merchandising And sell MORE Road Warriors stuff... I'll definitely BUY merch from the "greatest Tag Team of ALL time!!" (Hawk & Animal Forevermore!!) 👊👊👊👊👊
True American Bad Asses aka The Road Warriors..first time I saw them was Florida Championship Wrestling and thinking wtf these are the 2 biggest scariest guys in Wrestling..true class act...RIP Hawk
Haku fought 7 guys ar a bar in puerto rico, 3 went to the hospital in a coma, i was a teenager and sold news papers it was in th first page , then he went by king tonga, I front of my news papers said, king Tonga en pelea de barra contra 7, 3 van al hospital. When the cops came they rcognized him so they approached him carfully and told him mr Tonga come with us, he was really apologenic about the incident, witnesses said they saw everything, and apparently these guys started the fight , the story is that haku was buing drinks for this girl that he thoiught he was going to score with, he invited her to his hotel room she said no so haku said ok bitch no more drinks for you! The bitch called her friends that were playing pool, these guys got cute and all hell broke loose ,i remember comedians on t.v. making parodies of this and some radio stations, it also took 3 pairs of hand cuffs to take him to the station his wrists were to big and his showlders to weide, next day he was out , people loved him to much cops and other guys in jail loved him so they treated him well, back in my childhood wrestling was like a religion and every one of us was a fanatic, during the weekend i worked in the coliseum as a vendor during wrestling shows and sold news papers the rest if the week, king Tonga ( haku) wouuld arrive early to the arena order 2 whole roasted chickens, a bowl of rice, ( a big salad bowl of rice) a salad bowl, 12 fish or crab or beef ermpabadas, 12 beef stuffed potato balls, and a 6 back of medalla brand beer or bud..this was 2 hours before the show he would take a nap ,fart and then he was ready to go, and in this corner weighting 280 from the island of Tonga, kiiiiiing Tooooongaaaa !!!! ( haku or meng) wich ever you prefer.
@I'm Awesome your righ but 7 guys with pool sticks n chairs , i was a bouncer for 20 yrs here in los Angeles California were i been living for the last 30 yrs,even the srcawniest punk gets tough with a pool stick , knife, screw driver or chair and if its more than one shit! But your righ they were loud mouth punks and got what they deserved tongan style.
@I'm Awesome i worked for a short time at the wisky a go go, 89 to 90, at the coconut teazer, some hip hop club on Hollywood Blvd called hollywood live ( hollywood billards), and many others , at concerts and i did one on one bodyguard work.
@I'm Awesome that name sounds familiar, but i never met him, i remeber Joe antouri who later became mr universe, now ceo of propta , porfecional personal trainers assc, he was a bouncer then, so was vampiro who later went to aaa Mexico to wrestle then in wcw, i do also remember vin dicel , forgot his real name, my memory is cloudy sometimes i suffered a stroke in 2004, im now kinda slow, and if you notice my spelling sucks, and i stutter when i speak hahaha, its true do, but a do remember people here n there.
Haku/Meng... I can't believe, looking back, how much he was just a jobber to the stars! How many major titles did he actually hold? Toughest SOB on the planet and WWF & WCW just jobbed him constantly.
