Hawk and Animal were both motorcycle enthusiasts, and their early gimmick revolved around a 'leatherman' look that was perhaps more evocative of the Village People than a bad ass biker gang.

Superstars all over the world, Hawk and Animal re-defined tag team wrestling and brought a more physical style into vogue. They are the inspiration for many of the wrestlers on this list, but the original is still the best.
