Hawk and Animal all time favorite wrestlers and tag team. RIP Mike Hegstrand better known as Hawk 1957-2003 and Joe Laurinaitis better known as Animal 1960-2020. Followed them most of their career since summer of 1986.
Ole may have been a grouch but he understood professional wrestling. The Road Warriors debuted in Georgia in 1983. They were Pro Wrestling Illustrated tag team of the year as rookies.
He's a national treasure? He made the biggest blunder in wrestling history......he told Mark Callaway no one would ever pay a dollar to watch him wrestle and let him leave go to WWF. The rest is history....the Undertaker is possibly the G.O.A.T
Grumpy Ole Anderson, may you rest in peace. This was a difficult interview but it's worth it to know more about the Road Warriors! You could tell he took pride in discovering Hegstrand.
sadly hes a grumpy old man these days; but I didn't knew he came up with the road warriors gimmick. greatest wrestling tag team ever. RIP hawk and animal
@@johnthegreat that was when they first started. In between the village people look and the cartoon look. When hawk would pop the neck collar off by flexing. The makeup looked more like war paint .
Ole is EXACTLY right. I was watching Hawk and Animal since, I'd say, about '85. When "Iron Man" hit, you KNEW that whoever were the unlucky bastards who were facing them were about to experience legalized murder. Even BEHIND the scenes, a lot of these poor schmucks would see their names on the card against the Warriors, and they'd grab their bags and leave town. I can't stress how DOMINANT the Warriors were; we thought they were unbeatable. And we LOVED them. When they joined the WWF the first time, I DREADED how Vince was going to portray them. And I turned out to be right.
Olie comes off as a harsh guy and maybe he is but his mind for this biz was very peculiar but it worked. He also from what gather was not a man to beat around the bush he was straight forward and to the point none of them s behind your back politics. This is just my opinion if him tho idk him on a personal level.
So, I guess when he told Mark Callaway no one would pay money to see him and he went on to be the Phenom the Undertaker he was on point. Ole Anderson was a complete jerk
@@marcopolo7768 yes because we're all so perfect no one should ever make a mistake with all the crystal balls on sale these days. Hind sight is 20/20 young man so it's easy to condemn after the fact. And let's be honest even Mark would admit he had no talent back then and if it wasn't for the taker character MacMahon was going to pass on him also.
This where you wanna be when Punk comes back!?! Oh wait... Nice just to have a piece of wrestling knowledge with all the darkness continuing to spread across this vast flat world. Thanks RV! Whoop!! Whoop!!!
The Legion of Doom was the name of Paul ellering faction they had more than just the Road Warriors in it in it Jake The Snake and some others I can't think of right now
Just MO.... This guy does make a whole LOT of sense on several different levels, but YGBKM... It's that attitude of his that's hard to get past!! # 1.... 50% of it is that he's just TOTALLY ARROGANT!💯 # 2.... 50%, ONE CRAZY DUDE!!💯 Wow! Smh.......
First movie was Mad Max second one was Road Warrior and third one was Mad Max beyond Thunderdome and then new age Mad Max fury road.Next in line set for 2024-20?? is Furiosa and The Wasteland.
@@thewrestlingtimemachine Yea me too the newer one was ok.I also have the steam game and it's really good.There was this kid in the road warrior the one who tossed the boomerang. And that kid always reminded me of the Ultimate Warrior in looks.
And the Road Warriors may have never existed and we may have never got to see one of the greatest teams of all time had it not been for Matt borne getting fired for being with an underage girl because it was supposed to be he and arn anderson being managed by precious Paul and winning the tag Turney that may have been the Crockett cup not sure on that part
he's right and totally reasonable lol. he made a great living as a booker, got guys over and was able to comfortably retire - but still gets shit over the tiniest details by smarks who think the big billion dollar idea was so easy and obvious and ole was just too dumb to see it
This video says everything about Ole Anderson -confused and bitter, and if he hasn't heard about, it doesn't exist. He made all that money by using other talent and bullying his way into positions.

You know your wrestling..
Where are you from
Virginia USA
@@danielcurry4011 i followed them out of chicago, from, awa,but they were un the south first, they took chitown by storm
"You don't look too damn tough to me..." love that story.
😂 love it
Ole was grumpy but honest. Hard but fair. Made alot of wrestlers wealthy ! Road warriors especially!
Mad Max was shown in 1979.
The Road Warrior was shown in 1981 (Sometimes called Mad Max 2)
Correct. I say that in the video.
The second movie was Mad Max 2 in all markets outside the USA, where it was called The Road Warrior.
@@adamlane6453 thanks
Ole may have been a grouch but he understood professional wrestling. The Road Warriors debuted in Georgia in 1983. They were Pro Wrestling Illustrated tag team of the year as rookies.
Road Warrior was one of my favorite movies ever so I loved the Road Warriors persona
Same here! It was awesome!
Ole struck gold with the Road Warriors
Road Warriors Hawk and Animal vs Powers Of Pain Warlord and Barbarian my all time favorite feud 1988.
I have much more respect for Ole after watching his interviews. Tells you how everything worked.
Sad Ole didnt stay with the industry. One of the great minds. Road Warriors are one of the best tag teams ever.
Agreed!
THE best tag team. Road Warriors and then The Freebirds.
Ole is a national treasure
Piece of shhhh ric flair,arn,tully made the 4 horseman...Ole was a extra.
He's a national treasure? He made the biggest blunder in wrestling history......he told Mark Callaway no one would ever pay a dollar to watch him wrestle and let him leave go to WWF. The rest is history....the Undertaker is possibly the G.O.A.T
@@Hurtyafeelings545 and what are you?

Mad max then the road warriors
It was Mad Max and then "The Road Warrior" like I stated in the video. Not "Road Warriors."
I didn't know the LOD had Jake in it. I do know that Animal was Johnny Laurinitis' brother though. And that Ole was the voice of The Shockmaster😂
Also the voice of the black scorpion 😂
Cult of Cornette in the house!
“You wanna piece a me……you wanna piece a me….”
@@gilawojodi yes, that too
3:51 😂😂😂 fuck mad max
😁😂🤣
My fav tag team
I liked the Road Warriors look before the shoulder pads. I still liked them when they got the pads , just thought the look was lame.
😮
U mean the village people look 😅
@@johnthegreat that was when they first started. In between the village people look and the cartoon look. When hawk would pop the neck collar off by flexing. The makeup looked more like war paint .
@BrianMoro-gz8de I get where you're coming from. The Shoulder pads were stupid. Before those they seemed more realistic.
They actually had a leather vest with spikes on them and leather forearm bands with spikes on them
I have to ask - how difficult was it to interview Ole? haha
How did you feel after this interview?
Ole is EXACTLY right. I was watching Hawk and Animal since, I'd say, about '85. When "Iron Man" hit, you KNEW that whoever were the unlucky bastards who were facing them were about to experience legalized murder.

And I turned out to be right.
Well said. After joining the WWF they were never the same.
Olie comes off as a harsh guy and maybe he is but his mind for this biz was very peculiar but it worked. He also from what gather was not a man to beat around the bush he was straight forward and to the point none of them s behind your back politics.

Yes, I like Ole's stye!

Yeah, Mean Mark Calloway just wasn't cutting the mustard...
"It was Road Warriors, I know nothing about Mad Max...anyway" 🤣🤣
Love him 😂
This where you wanna be when Punk comes back!?! Oh wait...
Nice just to have a piece of wrestling knowledge with all the darkness continuing to spread across this vast flat world. Thanks RV! Whoop!! Whoop!!!
Haha! Cheers brother!
The movie was called road warriors and mad max was the main guy obviously
Warrior
Yes, like I said in the video.
i didn’t know that they went by LoD first before The Road Warriors
They were called "The Legion of Doom The Road Warriors."
The Legion of Doom was the name of Paul ellering faction they had more than just the Road Warriors in it in it Jake The Snake and some others I can't think of right now
@@tomwigal8856 Correct. The other member was The Spoiler.
I think King Kong Bundy was in the stable also.@@tomwigal8856
Also King Kong Bundy
Ole originally wanted them to be in full gimp costumes and to have them double team him in the dressing room.
Just MO.... This guy does make a whole LOT of sense on several different levels, but YGBKM... It's that attitude of his that's hard to get past!!
# 1.... 50% of it is that he's just TOTALLY ARROGANT!💯
# 2.... 50%, ONE CRAZY DUDE!!💯
Wow! Smh.......
Ole always saying "He never made no money"
Ole never made any money. He hasn't been able to get a job anywhere.
They almost had a Pier 6 Brawl.
road warrior was a great film.
Smart move by Ole to use the road warriors gimmick in pro wrestling.
I thought he was gonna get out of that seat and start beating the tar out of the interviewer..!!
No one made money in the business according to Ole
He wanted to call them Animal and Hawk Tuah
Russian Vids doing wrestling vids?
I had one back in 2016 as well. I started a new one.
@@thewrestlingtimemachine cool
First movie was Mad Max second one was Road Warrior and third one was Mad Max beyond Thunderdome and then new age Mad Max fury road.Next in line set for 2024-20?? is Furiosa and The Wasteland.
Correct. I've seen Mad Max beyond Thunderdome & Fury Road in the theater. I'm a big fan of the series.
@@thewrestlingtimemachine Yea me too the newer one was ok.I also have the steam game and it's really good.There was this kid in the road warrior the one who tossed the boomerang. And that kid always reminded me of the Ultimate Warrior in looks.
And the Road Warriors may have never existed and we may have never got to see one of the greatest teams of all time had it not been for Matt borne getting fired for being with an underage girl because it was supposed to be he and arn anderson being managed by precious Paul and winning the tag Turney that may have been the Crockett cup not sure on that part
Mad max came out in 78 or 79 . the road warrior came out in 81. he's an old clueless guy
Correct.
If you listen to Al Snow talk about his wrestling tryout, you lose a lot of respect for the Andersons
I can't stand Al Snow. He wasn't very talented.
That interviewer 😡
Remember, this "genuis" told a man named Mark Callaway that no one would ever pay a dollar to see him wrestle. 🤔🤔
Which at that time he was right.
Along with every other promoter in the country at that time including Vince
he's right and totally reasonable lol. he made a great living as a booker, got guys over and was able to comfortably retire - but still gets shit over the tiniest details by smarks who think the big billion dollar idea was so easy and obvious and ole was just too dumb to see it
The guy is fucking broke.
This video says everything about Ole Anderson -confused and bitter, and if he hasn't heard about, it doesn't exist. He made all that money by using other talent and bullying his way into positions.
Road warriors movie was asss lmao but the team road warriors legion of doom LEGACY
Wow, Ole, got some serious Narcissistic bs going on in his head! What a joke he was!
😮
