Bill is a legend. Very grateful for his stories. He's consistent, and brilliant. One of the best of the best, him and Barry both.

Wicked nice guy. Met him and smash at an autograph signing in massachusetts. Gave me a free autograph picture for my dying friend and spent about 20 minutes talking with me after. Unfortunately my friend never got to see the autograph and the note they wrote because the doctors put my friend in a coma before I could get to the hospital and he passed shortly after.

[@chadk890]

I hope WWE puts Demolition in the HOF

[@jonbourgoin182]

I guarantee they don't do it until after Bill passes away because Vince sucks that way. It's a crying shame that they aren't already inducted. Should've happened years ago at this point.

I always thought it was so unfortunate that the WWF/E did their best to get rid of Bill Eadie because they thought he was too unhealthy. When we flash forward 30 years, he is still alive and people much younger than him have been gone for years.

[@lrm215]

That’s true

[@ryanjacobson2508]

We also know that Vince kept trying to bury Macho Man for "being too old".... Even at a time when the company was starting to struggle (early 90's).

[@billwebber400]

​@@ryanjacobson2508I'm not sure that's why Vince tried to bury the Macho Man if you know what I'm saying

[@madtownangler]

Stephanie ???

[@deviantdave]

​​@@madtownangleri heard that he had a fetish for rimming an underage Stephanie. Not sure how true it is but must have tasted nice as he did it more than once. One day Linda walked in on him performing it. His reaction? He asked if he could rim her at the same time. Vince arrived with a shotgun and chased Savage out. They had an understanding where Vince wouldn't reveal the rimming story, if Savage wouldn't leak the video recordings of him doing it. Again, this is all rumors.

[@datacipher]

You know you’re the ultimate pro wrestler when you’re having a serious heart attack and being taken away and you’re wondering what the gimmick is and if the gurney is solid! …and thinking: guess I better let Vince know….

I always like Bill Eadie’s interviews. Such an intelligent guy with such a gentle voice but he is HUGELY respected in the business. Whenever he and Barry do interviews together, Barry always defers to him and that’s really saying something when you consider everything that Barry did in wrestling.

[@NateNizzle]

Barry always acts like he's Bill's b*tch. Really annoys me. Even as a kid I noticed that when the Demolition lost it was usually Barry taking the fall.

[@nbaldwin45]

@@NateNizzle That's out of respect to Bill. The guy had a storied career long before he joined Demolition. I love Barry and respect his talent but I don't think he has a problem letting Bill be the boss.

[@matthewgonzales3970]

His Masked Superstar promos were a lot like that as well. He was a little more animated as Ax

[@mamayl8592]

I though adding Crush was not all bad. It gave Bill a chance to transition out a little more, and storyline wise allowed them to do the Freebird gimmick of using 2 of the 3 in tag team matches.

[@acehunter3229]

Loved Crush in Demolition also. Don't forget he would not have never been called Crush if not for joining Demolition

[@henrikschmidt3964]

I think it worked until around SummerSlam 90. After that, they really seemed to just want to have LOD conquer Demolition and send them off to obscurity. A lot of fans liked the Demos more.

Bill has always been a favorite of mine. Demolition was my favorite tag team growing up and Ax was my guy. I was fortunate enough to meet Bill last March at a signing. The man is such a class act and probably the nicest wrestler I've ever met. Barry's flight was cancelled because of a snow storm so unfortunately I didn't get to meet Barry. I am forever grateful that I got to chat and get an autograph from Bill as The Masked Superstar. He shared some awesome Andre stories with me and my 9 year old son, as well as some great stories from his time in Japan. Bill is such a class act and I have nothing but respect for him.

Eadie going one interview without bringing up his seafood allergy 😮

[@pastorofmuppets22]

I don't know why a doctor would have told him that about iodine? It doesn't "store up in your body forever". Ax must have some kind of thyroid disorder. Iodine is essential for thyroid function and most iodine in your body is concentrated there. You pass what you would intake from eating shellfish ...by about 90 percent in your first following urination. Shellfish has only a small amount of iodine,and is handled fine by most people. There's Asian people who live on it, well into ripe old ages. Again...he must have an issue with hyperthyroidism. Probably lived with it undiagnosed for years, when he should have been taking something like levoxyl.
