One of Vince's biggest mistakes was killing their run to bring up LOD. Demolition was over like Ultimate Warrior in 1989.

[@mgb4692]

The problem wasn't having LOD, it was that it should have been a prolonged series instead of something that was really only done in six mans with Warrior and kind of came and went.

[@ynotefil]

Fact's 💯

[@layneyalemain8161]

Problem being Eadie was on his way out. He thought he had a backstage rolee waiting for him or was promised one and that fell through. Unfortunately Crush was not a good replacement. It was almost having 2 smash's. Why have two when you already have a good one in Darsow. The team probably wouldn't have done as well if Darsow didnt replace Moondog Rex as Smash unfortunately because of how people knew Rex as Rex before the fact. Adams came in to replace Ax. Not as the head of the unit but to fill in and well... Unfortunately Adams couldn't live up to the snuff. It's a shame really. I would've loved to see Demolition on the long-term plan and not Smash and Smash-lite. I have nothing against Adams. Unfortunately he was a charisma killing machine. He has a good look in terms of size but nothing else really.

[@nightmares8213]

His mistake wasn’t killing their run to bring up LOD, it was killing their run to also kill LODs run

[@charlesgreen8703]

Personal Unpopular Opinion- Demolition > L.O.D….but that’s just one fans opinion! P.S. despite what many people say…Demolition was not L.O.D. ripoffs… That was The Powers Of Pain!

Musically, this is my favorite right here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZq1iIxogbV3irM

I’d say this and the Brood theme are 1a and 1b in some order. Everything else after that is debatable.

[@Danimal1177]

Surely Vince should have known that putting a theme this awesome with a heel tag team would eventually cause the fans to cheer for them.

[@Cj2o]

The fans started cheering for Demolition after Mr. Fuji turned on them. According to Bill Eadie (Axe) Fuji was the one that was supposed to turn face, but because of the fan's reaction, it was instead Axe and Smash who turned face.

[@based9930]

Turning a hot heel turn face was a common way to make huge baby faces back in the day.

[@randylynch4330]

@@Cj2o that makes no sense and isn't true lmao. Everything about how Fuji and Demolition broke up was them going babyface

[@Cj2o]

@@randylynch4330 You can say whatever you want. The information is straight from Bill Eadie's mouth during one of his shoot interviews. I have no reason to make it up or lie about it. I mean, you're entitled to your opinion, but I'm still taking Bill Eadie's word for it.

[@randylynch4330]

@@Cj2o yea but he's not correct, he clearly then misremembers. Fuji turned because Demolition was getting cheered at Wrestlemania against the most white meat babyface team ever despite the fact they blatantly cheated and used a weapon(gigantic heel tactic in 1988) so Vince regrouped during the summer, and decided Powers of Pain would flip cause they didn't get over as babyfaces as he liked. Demolition in no way was setup to be the heels when the turn happened at Survivor Series 88. Use your own eyes and common sense

[@nickmandleberg]

This theme playing with Gorilla and Jesse's commentary over the top is just perfection

[@NarcisoSanchez]

[@LoneRebel]

Whether they was Heel or Babyface, they were a badass team! Demolition should be in the Hall of Fame.

[@Bone74838]

My favorite tag team in the 80's and if not all time. They were just brutal and fun to watch. And good workers and all their matches were never boring. It always happened something. I remember Summerslam 1989 in East Rutherford, New Jersey at the Meadowlands Arena. It was Demolition and Hacksaw against the Twin Towers and Andre... And it was an intermission match as well. Omg...I never laughed as much as when i saw that spectacle. Now that was "Wrestling"! Fun, excitement, hilarity, and having a good time. Thank you for the memories,

[@fredbradner8231]

I remember that 6 men tag team match at Summerslam 1989 that took place on August 28, 1989. It was a real good wrestling match but i also remember the Survivor Series 1989 that took place on November 23, 1989. Demolition was teamed with Hulk Hogan and Jake "The Snake" Roberts and they went up against Ted Dibiase (Million Dollar Man), Powers Of Pain (Warlord & Barbarian), and Zeus then. During the Survivor Series of 1989, Demolition (Ax & Smash) was WWF tag team champions since they had the title belts then but the good thing about being a champion during those Survivor Series matches is ... if you get eliminated from the match, the title is still yours so Demolition still remained the champions after that match ... even tho, they were eliminated at some point of the match. It is the same thing with the 30 men Royal Rumble matches too. If a wrestler is the WWF / WWE title holder and he gets eliminated from the match, he is still the champion ... even tho, he did not win the match. It is only during the Summerslam events, Wrestlemania events, and other wrestling events of that like that championship titles can change hands.

[@BornAgainRN]

At Survivor Series when the theme songs of Demolition, Jake “the Snake” Roberts, and Hulk Hogan played, it was electrifying! All great theme songs, reflected by the best era in pro wrestling. We will never have that again.

[@christopherhowe5180]

the most successful team during a golden era for wrestling. Criminally underrated.

[@jonathanturbide2232]

Criminally underrated? I can't believe 5 people upvoted this nonsense, that's absolutely ridiculous. Demolition is by far one of the most beloved, highly praised and highly rated teams of their era, a lot of people even say they're the greatest of all time, they're absolutely NOT underrated at all. Embarrassing. 🙄🙄🙄

[@christopherhowe5180]

@jonathanturbide2232 lol. They are not in the hall of fame unlike jobbers the Bushwhackers and Koko B. Ware. WWE gives them no credit whatsoever for being the most dominant tag team of the late 80s/ early 90s. Even independent wrestling journalists do not give them the recognition that they deserve.

[@jonathanturbide2232]

@christopherhowe5180 They are not in the HOF because that greedy old man Bill Eadie tried to scam money from Vince in the lawsuit that was dismissed several times by a judge, that's why they're not in the HOF, it's certainly not because they are uNdErRaTeD because they're definitely not underrated at all, everyone knows how great they were. Oh and by the way the Bushwhackers were together for 30 years while Demolition was together for only 3, Bushwhackers are deserving of the induction and to call them "jobbers" shows you know nothing about their careers. 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@spionsilver9626]

They were involved in that concussion lawsuit and apparently they did a shoot interview where they wanted 100 grand to be in the Hall of Fame

[@ScottyBugler2005]

MTRZGaming well maybe Vince McMahon ought to have looked after his performers better. But as for the 100K fee for being inducted, I didn’t know that!!!! Maybe they’ll regret that in years to come.... but who knows???? Hopefully one day they can reconcile with Vince or if not Vince..... then maybe Stephanie or Shane or whoever takes over after Vince dies

[@ScottyBugler2005]

MTRZGaming I was going to also say that maybe they did reconcile up to a point because they were actually in one of the WWE games a few years ago now. Was it 2012 or 13 ? Because Vince usually has all the say in who gets into the WWE games doesn’t he ?
