And yet ANOTHER dead wrestler (take a second to guess who it might be)

Drugs? [/Charlie Sheen]

 

Ax had a heart problem, which is pretty much why he served in a managerial role after Crush joined up. Demolition was way too popular to just fade away at that time.

Did not know that. I do know that the Demolition theme music sucked (as did most WWF theme music, except for Legion of Doom)

 

What ever happened to Hawk and Animal?

 

One lives in Minneapolis, and his son plays football for Ohio State.

 

Sad that I know what music you are talking about ...
Sadder I've had it running through my head the last 10 minutes ...

Here comes the Ax ...
Here comes the Smasher ...
The Demolition ...
Walking disaster ...

 

And the other one's dead, right?

 

Right, Hawk died a few years ago.

 

I thought one was dead, but didn't want to say without knowing for sure...

 

James Laurinaitis, Ohio State's top LB, is the son of Road Warrior Animal (Joe Laurinaitis) and the nephew of one of the high-ranking people in WWE, John Laurinaitis.

 

The Road Warriors were the best. And so was Paul Ellering. Does anyone know if Hawk's death had anything to do with the alcoholism angle WWE used a few years back, or was that just the usual BS?

 

I'm sure he drank a lot and he did lots of steroids. He became very religious in the final years of his life, but all the years of hard partying and all caught up to him. IIRC he died after helping his family move into a new home. At least I don't think he died trying to move a refrigerator all by himself.
