The Road Warriors were the most dominant, most popular tag team of the 1980s. From the NWA to Japan, they ran roughshod over the best teams in the world and captured gold wherever they went.

Then, in the 1990s, they finally signed with WWE. While at first, they enjoyed a lengthy and thorough push, over time they drifted down the card. They also ended up in controversial angles where Hawk was a drug addict and attempted to commit suicide by jumping off the Titan Tron.

While Hawk seems to have mostly kept silent about the matter, his partner Animal has no such compunctions. He has stated loudly and often that Vince McMahon didn't like the Road Warriors. The reason given is that Vince didn't 'make' the LOD's careers, rather they were already megastars when they were signed.

He also points to an incident in a strip club where he and Hawk gave McMahon a doomsday device, their finishing move. The pair would often do this to unsuspecting wrestlers outside of the arena, though they always made sure someone would catch their unwitting victim before they spilt to the concrete.

When prompted by Hulk Hogan, the LOD gave Vince a Doomsday Device. Though Vince laughed it off at the time, Animal is convinced that was the turning point for their WWE careers.
