If I'm not mistaken the belts they're wearing are the NWA United States Tag Team Championships

Now imagine being 8 in 2025 and seeing these geeks. Why would you be a wrestling fan?

These guys were bad ass too!!
Replying to @Wrestling80s90s
What tag titles are they wearing in the mem because those are a thing of beauty.
Replying to @Wrestling80s90s
ME!!! That was me! Hawk and Animal in the feud with The Koloffs. I've been hooked ever since.
Replying to @Wrestling80s90s
That did it for me. I was a huge LOD fan....was too young to appreciate them as the Road Warriors
I was probably 6 and yeah they were one of the reasons..
Replying to @Wrestling80s90s
This is what got me as a kid in the late 70s early 80s. Road Warriors for life!!

Growing up in the in the late 70's and into the 1980's certainly was fun...

My first match I saw on TV when I was in fourth grade was the Road Warriors killing two jobbers. I was hooked at that point

Replying to @Wrestling80s90s
So true! Pretty much the reason I became a fan.
Replying to @Wrestling80s90s
You got that right

Actually being 14 years old and seeing that on TV was jaw dropping. Wasn't old enough to drive yet, but old enough to know I needed my Dad to take me to live events anywhere near us.

Well learning that hawk was dropping n 💣’s would do it lol he’s super racist but that could be said for a lot of pro wrestlers during the 80s

Living in the NE (PA)I literally started on WWF in the early 80's and then I found World Wide Wrestling(NWA) on TV around 1985. I couldn't wait till the WWF show was over at 11 AM to watch World Wide Wrestling.
