The Warlord on Road Warrior Hawk

[@jarrasmith1]

I met hawk after the matches one night at a local bar. He was the most humble, genuine person I’ve ever met. Steve Blackman and animal was with him. Hawk is the only one who sit down and drank and talked to us. The other two wouldn’t even speak. Just my experience. A special night, as a guy in his mid twenties will never forget. RIP big man. Thanks for the memory of a lifetime.

See the road warriors at Norfolk scope ...while on a acid trip ....road warriors come out load ...animal run past us hawk comes out and growls at us ...my friend n my self are pretty buff right ...so we didn't move ...hawk saw this turned around and really growled at us scared me sent my buddy into a lunatic mood yelling n flexing ...crazy scene rip my hero Hawk

I heard Hawk was prejudice actually broke my heart because I loved Hawk especially his flying fist drop that was EPIC!!

Warlord and Barbarian were beasts! They matched up well to LOD

I met the Warlord at Gold's gym in Tampa. Huge man, really nice. I was doing (free) squats and he asked to join in. He was HUGE. such a nice guy. Talked about his pet cat lol.

[@whatarushlod]

As a teen back in the 80’s, wrestling was everything to me!!! The LOD was my favorite!!! Thanks for all you did during your career guys!!! Road Warriors and Powers of Pain!!! Thanks for everything!!!

[@lordjet1596]

Warlord was great. What I love, and did not know, is how erudite and charming he is. Excellent.

[@markon.1142]

Warlord seems like a great guy.. really interesting to listen to now

[@Doomsday556]

My buddy and I (8th grade) met Hawk, Animal, and Precious Paul after an event in the Rosemont Horizon parking lot. They were hanging around their Legion of Doom van. They were all cool as hell. We hung out and spoke to them for about 30 minutes on our BMX bikes.

[@jeffgarland3201]

I loved the bench press competition between the POP & RW! I still have that somewhere on VHS. The Powers of Pain and Road Warriors were by far some of the best matches. You guys inspired me to workout and try to get big.

[@robertblackshear8963]

Lol. Man you never lied. I still listen to 1982 Ironman when I do work out and visualize me becoming the road warriors lmao. Good memories.

I met warlord many years ago at a wrestling event along with Greg the hammer he was a really cool down to earth even went out to dinner with me and my family unfortunately my parents lost the pictures he took with us

I met Warlord and Barbarian, two of the nicest guys ever. Also my Uncle Tom lifted weights with him a few times

[@paulpokorny1238]

Warlord is such a great interview

[@Ste-_.]

I’ve watched dozens and dozens of warlords interviews, I’ve genuinely never heard him say a nasty thing about anyone living or dead, the warm way he talks about guys like davey boy and animal, and the one where he tells the story about ultimate warrior telling Vince he wouldn’t go out to perform until he paid all the other guys (the venue hadn’t made a lot of money and Vince was telling them they wouldn’t get paid, warrior got every single one of them a cheque that night). Warlord is a legit gentle giant and loves all his friends dearly.

[@SALTER818]

Warlord one of my favorite ever, I was bummed when Hogan eliminated him in Royal Rumble soon as he came in

[@Blue_Splash89]

Warlord was monster him and barbarian were scary strong also warlord had good things to say not just about hawk and animal but my favorite wrestler ultimate warrior

[@mikesmith2718]

Warlord is a great guy he didn't make a big impact on his debut but when he got put with barb they were a serious threat in the nwa and a great team to bring into the wwf because they were larger than life characters . Powers of pain is one of my favorite tag teams of all time.

[@wahwahgaboor]

They were never allowed to dominate Demolition though which I though was dumb regardless of Demolition being heel or face.. they always gave demolition about a 15% edge... so it looked stupid that Fuji betrayed them as they were always getting over.. the Warlord should have been given extra respect for his mass but he generally just took a beating.. dumb WWE

[@stevekaczmarczyk9701]

They played the eye injury off on a bench press contest outside the ring,,. I got it on DVD

[@bigroy38]

Met the boys at an indie show here in Austin before 9/11.I’m near 300,& they made me look tiny.

[@geechie-don7157]

Loved the LOD vs POP feud. Ya had to be there to really appreciate it!

[@thedrivebygg]

Warlord, one of my favourites, loved his size, just wish they gave him better matches.

[@jamesstreet228]

It's extremely hard for big guys to do scaffold matches. That old saying "The bigger they are the harder they fall" is true. Lol. Big guys land alot harder and have a much greater chance of injury. Just look what happened to Sid when he landed 300+ pounds on one leg. That was just friggin sick.

[@Rustishack78]

Warlord would've been a great addition to the road warriors' 6 man tag team. If Hawk and Animal would've taught him better face painting skills, he'd fit right in.

[@Ste-_.]

Animal did hawks face paint most of the time coz he was always so stacked on various drugs he couldn’t stop shaking

[@Yooneek696969]

I love that Hawk is so brazen, tries to lift heavy legs, gets crushed and tells me why he skips legs. Hilarious

[@KelticTim]

Hard to believe Warlord is still alive and kicking. He must have a horses heart man.

[@undergroundheatcypher1091]

I saw the Road Warriors vs The Powers Of Pain at the Civic Center with my late father they were 4 of the most intimidating dudes you can ever see in person that was a great match!!

[@norcaltimcaldwell3325]

Warlord and barbarian (powers of pain) were the dopest heel tag team imo

[@timothylindman3721]

Great guys all of them more wrestlers from Sota then any were in the country. I remember the warlord in the crowd watching awa match. He was the biggest guy in the whole arena. The giant wasn't there. But he is a beast and a great guy. All them guys are. Rude on are arm wrestling team he had these big boots high off the ground. He is great. Like the war Lord said all them guys always had your back. Miss them.

[@thenicklas615]

I seen the scaffold match at the Civic Center in Philadelphia in 1986 with two of my buddies. It was the Road Warriors vs The Midnight Express I think, It was so long ago and all I can remember is how high these scaffolds were and that I'm saying to myself 'these guys got to be insane to attempt something like this.' I never seen an attraction like this before and I seen a few cards in my time, mostly from 1980-1984.

[@donovanredmond8050]

You are definitely correct it was The Road Warriors vs The Midnight Express! Jim Corvette took a nasty fall blowing out both knees as a result of it!

[@thenicklas615]

@@donovanredmond8050 : The Road Warriors defeated them of course. Also on the card that night was Dusty Rhodes vs Tully Blanchard, The Rock n Roll Express vs The Big Boss Man and I can't remember. Rick Rude & Manny Fernandez vs Ronnie Garvin maybe & partner x. Also: Crusher Cruschev & Ivan Koloff. One thing I remember is both Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson double drop-kicking the Big Boss Man down; I thought that was cool since neither one of them could do that alone. Also Nikita Koloff vs Ric Flair for the NWA heavyweight championship after Nikita turned babyface which I liked. Unfortunately it ended in a draw. And making his wrestling debut was a NEW Lex Luger to the scene!
