    What I love about Animal is that for one of the toughest guys ever in the business with an intimidating personna, he's like a gentleman when he talks and is very fair when it comes to talking about everyone. A bit like Paul Orndorff - commands respect but very respectful in return and honest as they come.
    Hannibal, thanks very much for uploading the whole Shoot. It's appreciated.

    Animal, if you are watching this, I watched you as a kid and have huge respect for all you and Hawk did for the industry. I would get spooked seeing you guys come into the ring to"Iron Man" when I was a kid.

    Hey man I've never commented on any of you're videos but Animal just passed yesterday and this interview just popped. Imitated til this day.. Never Duplicated! Seeing he's fighting back against the machine that has been very vengeful to the LOD..is awesome to see from Joe. Even after using them to recruit talent, they also gas the flames in their personal lives?? They were bigger then the WWF...but they had to fight someone. But I think the WWF didn't care for a tag team bigger then itself.

  • @jeff97ish

    Great interview of a true legend. I was a little disappointed that there was no discussion of the shoot angle with The Fabulous Ones.

  • @kszirovecz
    @kszirovecz 6 років тому +19

    I was at the card in Hammond they discuss starting at 25:10 that nearly turned into a riot. Yes, the woman slapped Animal and he swung and hit her. That started causing other people in the crowd to start attacking the Road Warriors. They hadn't had wrestling at the Hammond Civic Center in years so there were no barricades to keep fans back and they didn't have a ton of security so when the crowd surrounded the Warriors, they fought their way out. The videos are on UA-cam. One guy even gets a moving start and hits Hawk with a chair and Hawk doesn't flinch. If the few cops hadn't stepped in and gotten control to get Hawk and Animal to the dressing room, they could have taken out the crowd. I'm 12 watching all this with my Dad in the bleachers. It was one of the greatest things I ever saw and we would talk about it for years after. About a year later the AWA came back to Hammond and the local newspaper had a big article about wrestling coming back and the riot and lawsuit that had happened the year before and how the Hammond Civic Center had learned their lesson and were going to have better security, which they did because we went to that card too. I remember the article even had Hawk and Animal's real names in discussing the lawsuit and I was a little sad to find out their real names weren't Hawk and Animal because back then wrestling was still presented as being real. They will always be my favorite wrestlers of all time.

    The first time I saw the Road Warriors I was in middle school around 1986....I was home sick watching AWA wrestling on the USA network. It was the Road Warriors vs. King Kong Bundy and some other guy I don't remember. Road Warrior Animal fucking picked up King Kong Bundy and shoulder pressed him up over his head. It was and still is one of the most impressive shows of strength I have ever seen. Road Warriors were the greatest tag team ever. It sucks how they were mis-used and mistreated in their last years with WCW and WWE.

    Great interview with 1/2 of my all-time favorites The Road Warriors. Lot's of stuff and stories i never knew about from Animal/Joe. And the Legion of Doom/Road Warriors are the greatest tag-team of all-time with 2 dominant decades to prove it. As for The Dudley Boys i have them 3'rd at best only cause of their longevity and title wins with The Steiner Brothers 2'nd. As for the old prick McMahon i think he punished them over the years for rejecting his offer in the mid 80's.

    Great interview. The Road Warriors were always my favorite tag team of all time and to this day are still the best. Its been said that out of the two Animal was the more level headed one while Hawk was always wild and out of control. Its still sad to this day that Hawk has died you can tell that Animal is still hurt by his death. As for the part about Vince screwing them out of money i believe it because tons of wrestlers have claimed the same thing plus the Road warriors were not his creation and Vince dosen't like it when he don't create it recent example look what Vince has done to Bray Wyatt. Triple H says that Bray created his own character and Vince buries him every chance he gets.

    Hawk said in another shoot (double shoot with Animal) that Ole contacted Eddie Sharkey in Grandma B's looking for a new tag team with big guys. Ole traveled up there looked over those Animal said worked at the Bar. Hawk rebuttled to Ole "what are you looking at". Ole was looking for no non sense big guys. He chose Hawk and Animal for the GCW gig.
