1. The Road Warriors
via prowrestling.wikia.com
It wasn’t just about the titles they won. It wasn’t that they faced some of the best teams in the world and handled them all. It was how Hawk and Animal changed the game so dramatically. Back in 1983, you’d never seen anything like them: The leather outfits, Mohawks, face paint, the spiked shoulder pads, it was all so different and daring. Then there was their ring style as they’d hit the mat running, smashing their opponents before the bell even rang and being so stiff and hard that jobbers were literally in fear of their lives when they faced the Warriors. Their interviews were smash-mouth, ranting and raving with threats and Paul Ellering their true manager, keeping them on track and helping them rise in fame. The no-selling and brutality got the fans’ attention and before you knew it, the Legion of Doom were on top of the wrestling world.
They would win gold in the AWA, NWA, WWF and Japan but they were an act so massively over that they never needed a championship to be regarded as the best in the world. No matter where they went, the fans responded in droves, always popping huge to their music and cheering them on as they took on just about every major team of their time and often coming out on top. Their addictions (especially Hawk) led to some rough times and a sad end. But the legacy of the Road Warriors is intact as they stand as the greatest tag team ever, an act so many have tried to emulate but no one duplicating and a legend in wrestling.
