Top 10 tag teams of the 1980s

The Freebirds were one of the biggest draws in wrestling history

#1 The Road Warriors

Hawk and Animal, the Legion of Doom/Road Warriors

"We feast on fear, and dine on destruction!"--Hawk.

That quote perfectly sums up the Road Warriors. Originally a couple of bad biker gang bangers, when a certain Mel Gibson movie took the world by storm they underwent a gimmick change.

Now sporting painted faces and spiked shoulder pads, the Road Warriors didn't just exemplify tag wrestling in the 1980s, they were the paragons for the entire industry. NWA, WWE, Japan, Puerto Rico, Canada--everywhere the team went they captured gold, and the hearts of fans worldwide.

The Road Warriors were so iconic, they inspired dozens of knockoffs (of which Demolition was the most successful.) Combining power, speed, and surprising agility, the Road Warriors always put on a great show and participated in the legendary (and dangerous) Scaffold matches that were a precursor to things like CZW and Hell in a Cell.
