The Man, the Myth, the Legend Vol. 6: The Road Warriors

#3. Winning the tag titles on their debut.

The NWA National Tag Team championship was meant to be a 'mid card' title for the tag team division of the member regional promotions. It would eventually be replaced in this regard by the NWA United states tag team championship, but the second coming of the title was never as impressive as the first run.

The Road Warriors won the titles on their debut match, and would win them three more times while working for Georgia Championship Wrestling. They met with great success in GCW, but it was obvious that they were akin to a killer whale in captivity; Far too big to be swimming in such a small body of water.

Still, the fact that they were champions right off the bat is impressive in and of itself, even if it did rankle with more established talents who believed the Road Warriors failed to 'pay their dues.'
