and Smash

Let's just get this out of the way: Like the Powers of Pain or the Blade Runners, Demolition were a rip off of the Road Warriors.

That doesn't mean they weren't talented workers who could wrestle and deliver great promos. The big, burly Ax and Smash were veteran singles wrestlers who were given the gimmick by Vince McMahon, who wanted his own face painted post-apocalyptic warriors to compete with the NWA.

Known for a grinding, brutal ring style, Demolition once held the record for longest tag team title reign until the New Day broke it recently. Supposedly Ax and Smash didn't like each other much backstage, but they put it aside to be one of the most dominant teams of the era.
