10 of the greatest wrestlers of the 1980s

#3 The Road Warriors/Legion of Doom

Hawk and Animal

Hawk and Animal sold out at least as many arenas as Hulk Hogan did during the 1980s, possibly more as they wrestled internationally as well.

Hawk and Animal have Mel Gibson vehicle -- no pun intended -- The Road Warrior to thank for their success. Though they were calling themselves the Road Warriors long before the film hit, its nuclear wasteland fashion sense gave them the hook they needed to take their characters to the next level.

The Road Warriors won more tag titles for more promotions than can easily be recounted, and were perhaps the most beloved of all the 1980s tag teams.

Here they are against their imitators, the Powers of Pain.
