Wow!!! I made this tape this back in 1987. I uploaded it into Imesh and Bearshare. I can't believe it made it all the way to youtube a few years later!! I'm so glad that so many are enjoying it!! UNBELIEVABLE!! RIP Hawk & Rude.
now this is wrestling the way i remember.i miss those days,thanks to you tube i can watch the great matches & watch action that i've missed.you tube rocks
0:54........Miss Tag Teams that had epic ring entrances like the Road Warriors did. Hell, I miss Tag Teams in wrestling today like the Road Warriors as well as Rick Rude & Manny Fernandez!
Two legit tough guys... anyone thinking "rasslin" is fake and "rasslers" ain't that tough would be in for a rude surprise if they picked a fight with either of those guys in their prime.
They were unbeatable. I kept thinking each week the LOD or the R and R Express would beat them and nobody ever did. Rude split for the WWF so nobody ever pinned them.
Look at the HOF'ers in this match! Rick Rude, one of the 10 best of all time, in my opinion. If you remember his time in the WWF, no one, at all, drew as much heat as Rude. Watch, wrestlers of today, this is how you take a bump. Most people just remember the WWF Legion of Doom, but this is the best tag team ever in their prime. Raging Bull could do it all also-face, heel, bumping machine. Great stuff
That was cool for Rick Rude and Manny to come to the ring on Queen's song. That song fit them perfectly. I remember hearing them come to the ring on that song back in the day but never knew who made it back then.
I think two matches that I wish would've taken place back in the heyday of tag wrestling would've been the Road Warriors vs The British Bulldogs and The Hart Foundation vs Midnight Express classics that we all missed out on but none-the-less we were given countless classic tag matches from the true tag teams of that era!!! Salute to REAL tag team wrestling!!!
+GTHABOSS74: Imagine the mic battles between the highly intelligent, sophisticated Precious Paul Ellering vs. the ranting and raving Captain Lou Albano. Or Jimmy Hart vs. his former understudy, Jim Cornette.
Notice it didn't take 5 mins. for each tag team to get to the ring,Also they didn't need to take the mic and talk for another 10 mins. before they started wrestling.Man I really do miss those daysThanks for posting.
This was in The Bayfront Center in St Petersburg Fla, we were sitting about halfway up and I've been to just about every kind of entertainment event.I can honestly say with the exception of Nascar ive never been in a crowd as loud as when the Road Warriors came out.On tv you could hear Ironman but there live we only heard the intro and than the building was shaking it was so loud!
Most intimidating music and entrance EVER was when the road warriors music started playing. RIP Animal and Hawk we miss you so much wrestling is not the same without you
I do remember NWA Wrestling in 1987 year. Under Jim Crockett Wrestling Promotions. I do remember the moment of NWA Match. Rick Rude and Raging Bull Manny Fernandez defend their NWA World tag team title against the Road Warriors.
The NWA World Tag Team Champions (Rude and Fernandez) against the All-Japan International Tag Team Champions (The Road Warriors). Sad that Hawk, Rick Rude, and referee Randy "Pee-Wee" Anderson all died too young. RIP.
Best entrance songs going head to head ..... ozzy vs queen ...... Ric Rude n Manny fernandez were not like most tag teams who were intimidated by the warriors they stood their ground. Man these were the ol days of wrestling .
Jesus Christ, I don't remember Hawk ever bringing a mace to the ring. I always liked Rude and Fernandez as a team. It added an extra dimension to the heel side of the NWA so that it wasn't always the Horsemen or the Midnight Express at the top of the card.
DAMN THOSE ROPES ARE LOOSE! Animal litterally moved the ropes, turnbuckles, EVERYTHING by simply pulling on one rope. He could have torn the ring down!
fyi hawk,animal,Rick ride and smash aka crusher krushev used to all bounce in a bar called grandma b's. I read they all used to regularly kick biker gangs asses when they got out of hand. true bad asses.
True story originally Rick Rude was going to team with Animal instead of Hawk Ole Anderson called Ed Sharkey and asked him to send him a wrestler to team with Animal so Rude went but Anderson didn't like how they looked together so he sent Hawk
yea the old robinsdale high school. I tell you what I sure loved the nwa I can not watch this cartoon trash that is on today. The nwa just had a different feel about it and it was loud.
Damn no one here mentions who' s doing play by play ? The one and only Big Daddy Dink!! OLIVER HUMPERDINK! Manger of Scott Bam Bam Bigelow Mr Wonderful etc....
4:44 When Hawk or Animal wanted to press-slam you, you didn't have to worry about helping them get you up. They'd just dead-weight haul your ass over their heads. You just had to worry about landing safely, cuz they weren't overly concerned about it.
that is very so true. I really agree with you 100%. They didnt even have the iron man music. That what a rush music was trash and their spikes were red. They lack the rawness when they came to the wwf/wwe.
very rare you see the champions come to the ring first, the Road warriors were just that Bad! Normally the opponents get beat up or run out of the ring when the road warriors hit the ring, shows how much respect they had for each other
