[@paulwatson5531]

One of my favorite belts of all time

[@theguy8242]

My personal favorite

[@horacereynolds5851]

Rest in peace to The Road Worriers the greatest Tag Team ever and soon as the music hits the crowd goes nuts there look will never be matched

[@PNWPATRIOT206]

Not even the music, as soon as you hear WHAT A RUSH!

[@crazyd1377]

Hawk was a good friend of mine! Mike was his name and what a good guy, real soft spoken very respectful and man he had stories for days! I miss my friend wish he was still here ! My daughter was just a baby when he passed if saw her today he be just as proud of her as I am for making it to college to become a chemical engineer! Rip Hawk!

[@markellzey1531]

Man, sorry for your loss. The Road Warriors were my jam back in the day. RIP Hawk and Animal!

[@crazyd1377]

@@markellzey1531 two of the best to do it to make the business grow bigger and better! I use to tell Mike I remember being a lil kid like 5 yo and watching them on tbs, they always looked like they were 7 feet tall and could rip a guy in half! He use to laugh at me, he say that’s just the camera angle to make us look huge! He always tell story’s of going to Japan and wrestling, how the guys would beat him up in the ring cause they lacked the experience! He said it’s an awesome place to get book for a wrestling match cause they pay for everything and they treat you like a king! But Forsure missed no for his career but just cause he was a good ole boy and loved they people who were close to him!

[@crazyd1377]

@@markellzey1531 he use to always ask me if I wanted an autograph or any of his old memorabilia, I I told him I don’t talk to you cause of your fame it’s cause you are a good person and nice and respectful! I told him your career was just a bonus! His fiancé Dale was a character too, she was bubbly and full of life. It was sad after Mike passed she took it very very hard to the point I was concerned about her taking her own life. But we keep her from doing that, I sat out a many times and explain to her that Mike wouldn't have wanted you to do that, he loved her a lot she was his world. I've met Hogan big show Craig Nehammer Valentine Brian from the nasty boys. They've all come through our muffler shop in Clearwater Florida

[@D_Jay-J05]

What was hawk like bro?

[@robertsuchy2369]

Damn i would like to hear the conversation with those three talking about rock and roll

[@dailwinwilliamsii4031]

The Smoking Skull Belt is forever 🐐

[@unlimitedrabbit]

The Road Warriors will always be their official name to me while their Legion of Doom moniker will be their nickname - as was the case in their JCP days and earlier.

[@randellgoering1014]

LOD was a stable: Jake the Snake Roberts, The Spoiler, King Kong Bundy, and Road Warriors Hawk & Animal managed by Paul Ellering. Jake & Bundy left for WWF. The Spoiler went to Memphis and RR and Ellering stayed in that Georgia JCP area. But LOD stuck as a secondary name until WWF made it their Primary Name

[@unlimitedrabbit]

@@randellgoering1014 Glad to see someone else remembers the territory days.

[@thej9479]

Dude needs to get his story straight. First, he said it was his idea to change it because the new belt after the winged eagle belt cut his chin when he went for a stunner, and he had it on his shoulder.

[@Figfinder]

I'd love to hang out with Steve, Jericho,and Bubba..😂

[@warrengomez67]

Would be interesting 😂

[@Browns2446]

Throwback HAWK ANIMAL THE ROAD WARRIORS

[@lilsleepy3332]

funny enough, he's now the gold standard for being over lol seems like the kind of guy who'll never forget how he started though

[@ballingaming123]

Yea I’ve heard him a few times answer that question and he always says it was hawk and animal idea

[@randysmith4381]

Road Warriors Forever

[@Usedplungerstotheface]

Road Warrior Hawk actually had a lot of good ideas that were used in the attitude era

[@marvelghost]

I hope the Road Warriors are raising Hell in Heavens ring. R.I.P.

[@GenGamesUniverse]

Fun Fact - the guy who made the smoking skull belt actually made two versions - one in gold plate and one in silver plate, as Steve had asked for a silver plate, but the belt maker (I believe it was JMAR at the time since JMAR was doing all the WWF belts after taking over from Reggie Parks) brought both and Steve ended up choosing the gold plated one instead of the original version he wanted.

[@williame1158]

Could have easily lied , because they're both gone RIP LOD. He didn't though. Giving the GOAT tag team props.

[@Bd22904]

All time best belt to me

[@fofao681]

The more i watch wrestlers the more i realize they are like comedians, the value ideas aka intellectual property

[@fredb1973]

The smoking skull belt was awesome. Still the best looking belt to date

[@Forget1987]

STONE COLD!!!! STONE COLD!!!!

[@raigonjones7799]

Top tier storyteller what

[@anakin.2956]

Imagine that, a great tag-team came up with a great Idea from someone great. Greatness f'real!

[@isaacgriffith6297]

Greatest tag team ever .

[@vincenth.8793]

More like “Hogan Pop”

[@L1KECLOCKWORK]

Would’ve never guessed that

[@DadTalksLive]

That’s a really good question.. what happened was Stone Cold usually hung out with Bubba Ray or Chris Jericho.. but at this point.. he was hanging out with the Road Warriors.. back then if the crowd popped.. it was called a “Road Warrior pop”.. well.. the Road Warriors told Steve that he should have his own belt.. my sources say that he had to run it by Vince first.. but that’s how that happened

[@dcsniper4637]

My favorite wrestler is the reason I'm mad now? I just started watching again mania 2023 and 1st thing I said everybody has a belt I understand merch but damn. Break the glass and stun me 😊😊😊

[@lobisomembjj5304]

Also, came up with Donk

[@miltonpjr]

WOW! Iron DOES sharpen iron.

[@shawnmarques7117]

I had a rep stone cold belt as a kid.

[@cjjonez]

never heard that story. but lots of stories about hawk coming up with nuggets. he came up with the legion of doom. come to think of it only one member remains from the LOD still alive. and no its not Paul.

[@ModernDayRenaissanceMan]

But Paul Ellering is alive & does count

[@cjjonez]

@ModernDayRenaissanceMan he wasnt a member he was the manager. and I excluded him on purpose with my statement. if you don't know then you donr know who'd the last living member of The LOD🤣😄😂 you not a bona-fide fan of the Fandom 😉

[@realelplaga]

Put the link in the description. I would've just went to the next clip if I wasn't coming here to type this. You're losing views Edit: nevermind. You're just stealing content

[@fusion360music6]

BMF belt

[@didimean]

The belts have became increasingly ugly beyond that time. Attitude era belts were the GOAT imo.

[@DollaHowsMyDictate]

Neck mask

[@scottnunn7461]

Those character specific belts sucked
