ROAD WARRIORS
Host: What was it like working with the Road Warriors?
Road Dogg: God it was difficult. It was really difficult. Hawk is not so bad, he’s just not a very good wrestler and he hurts you a lot. He’d been in the business so long and here we were just brand new. So of course they had trouble getting beat by us.
They didn’t want to get beat by us. But it wasn’t Hawk at all, it was Joe (Animal). It was Animal who had the problem getting beat by us. He always seemed to handle their business and Hawk just kind of did what he wanted to do and just have fun wrestling. So me and him got along great.
Working with him was not good. I’m talking about doing nothing but getting your a$$ whopped for about 10 minutes and then trying as hard just to keep one of them down for 10 seconds. It’s difficult. They were difficult to work with.
But understandably, they’re coming from being the Road Warriors, the dominant force in tag team, to just having to bow down. You know what I mean? And not because we were superior force or anything but the people didn’t like them as much as they liked us.
And the people dictate who’s gonna buy the tickets and stuff. So it’s got to be a pride-swallowing experience which can’t be easy for anybody. So it was difficult to work with them.
