Just idle speculation, but I think the biggest strike against Demolition was the long and messy replacement of Ax with Crush (presumably for health reasons, although I have no details). A great many fans, myself included, just didn't see any point to the team without Ax. Also, the heel turn was just plain _stupid._ These are two tongue-waggling party animals in S&M underwear and bright face paint. How the hell was anyone supposed to take them seriously as heels?? Earthquake? He left for WCW and got turned into the world's fattest shark, and that was all she wrote for _his_ Hall of Fame chances.
@@hawaiidkw1 Agreed. Demolition was never the same once it was no longer just Ax and Smash. (And yes, Ax had health issues.) Changing their theme music, turning them heels, and adding Crush were all desperate moves that backfired, though Smash & Crush had a decent match at WrestleMania VII. I also don't understand why they just didn't let Smash continue as a solo wrestler as opposed to repackaging him as a character as terrible as the Repo Man, who had no credibility.
To bury ever gerbil faced geek we face….whaaaaaa. It was one of the lines used in an interview once, but think it should have ended with “geek we meet”. Surprised they didn’t use the actual what a rush, which WAS a catchphrase lol
The really annoying thing about playing as Demolition (other than the lack of a truly killer move, such as Slaughter's gut buster or Warrior's flying clothesline) is... well, you had to play as _Demolition._ Smash and Crush, Crush and Smash, forever joined at the select screen. This complete lack of flexibility was a _big_ no sell for a lot of players, myself included. Also, as you no doubt discovered pretty quickly (like me 😁), running attacks (without any of that "Whip 'o The Irish" nonsense) are the cornerstone to winning. I remember getting a 1 credit clear with Jake and either Warrior or Dibiase. That spinning elbow just flat-out owned. Unfortunately, the shoulder ram and dropkick are by far the _worst_ two running attacks in the game. I tried them once with Slaughter and Perfect, respectively, and the opponent would just duck every time. To be able to connect with either consistently speaks to plenty of dedication to this game and this team, which is what I find the most impressive of all about this run.
Enable the cheats in MAME emulation and you can play as either member of Demolition, plus any other character in the Saturday Night's Main Event mode! The member would be Crush, obviously, as he's got a much better moveset :)
One of my favorite games but the AI was so stupid. Instead of doing the same thing over and over, mix in some submissions and tag team work. It would be a more interesting watch.
Back in 1991-1992 I put enough quarters into this game to finance a small country.
Well then hello there neighbor.
Warrior just getting straight up tossed out of the ring was hilarious.
I always love doing that. 🤣😂
That was always my opening move. Then get on the turnbuckle and flying ax handle.. then pick up the staircase and hit him 😂
Hulk Hogan getting dominated…….. “ That Doesn’t work for me brother “
Hulk hogan was a crap wrestler ha ha 😂 knew about 4 moves lol
Unbelievably good gameplay! I could never master the running moves this good.
One of the greatest games to never get a console port.
Demolition: THE GREATEST TAG TEAM OF ALL-TIME!!!
👍🏾👍🏾
No way! The Rockers are the greatest! Nothing will ever break them up!!!
not this form of demolition BUT YES
It's so refreshing to see 1CC play without using the count out strats. Great work!
It's interesting how just about everyone in these matches is in the Hall of Fame except Demolition, the greatest tag team of them all.
Demolition was a great team. Not GOAT, but still great.
Earthquake needs to go in
@@ianfeuerhake1859 He's not in? I agree, he should be posthumously inducted.

HULK HOGAN LEG DROP MOVES SO AWESOME IN WWF WRESTLEFEST 1991 ARCADE !!!
I miss this type of animation 😢
Exactly. This and the music is what video games should be.
I don't remember the computer being that bad when I played it. I must have sucked.
this guy put the "Dificult Level" at 3 (maybe 2) 😂😂
It's too bad they couldn't have Demolition do their decapitation finisher.
when you watch Demolition as an adult all you can think of is how some KISS fans looked like they came straight from a bdsm club
What a classic video game! #TBT ❤❤
I got this game through MAME for my tablet years ago. I still have that tablet cuz of this game.
It's awesome!!! Great player!
I wish I knew how to reprogram this game so I can add in the true entrance themes for everyone
Where can I find it on dvd
I purposely bought a 'Pandoras box' just to play this game
That was great
My God! Brian Adams shrank!
Making Hulk Hogan look like Dusty Wolfe........
Alguém tem um mod sem esse tempo aí
And you don't use irish whip moves and teamwork moves often. And I 'd like to see Crush play enough.
Doesn't even tag Crush in!
0:13 FORTH
Why was Crush called Apdrop by the game commentary?
Come to see my play if you think you are still the best player.
what the hell does hawk say in the interview?
I still hear: "WE BURY EVERY DOUBLEFACED DICKS WE FACE YEEEAARRRGHHH!"
No idea what he actually says!

Crush is the laziest WWF TAG TEAM CHAMP EVER!!!
You could say, Smash repossessed those titles all for himself…… I’ll get my coat
Ax should have been there instead of crush
I could never get into Demolition. They were clear Road Warrior knockoffs with far less imoressive physique and moveset.

you exploit a flaw in the game, you dont have to play this way its a bit of a bore
