About this listen

In this week's podcast, we pay tribute to the legendary Road Warriors! Considering the recent passing of Road Warrior Animal and the fact that we're approaching the 17th anniversary of the passing Road Warrior Hawk, we thought it was only fitting to honor the biggest box office attraction tag-team in history.

 

Jax Dane joins us to discuss being managed by Animal along with his tag partner, Crimson. He also shares how Animal gave them the endorsement to use spikes and face paint.

 

PL Myers got the full Road Warriors experience, from growing up as a fan to being their manager on Chicago independent scene. He discusses what he said when he was asked to speak at Hawk's funeral in 2003.

 

Andrew Anderson looked at Road Warrior Animal as a big brother. He knew Animal and Hawk for close to 20 years. He talked to Animal in the days before he passed and Animal talked him in to ribbing Kevin Sullivan, here the rib on this weeks episode.

 

Finally, the man who trained the Road Warriors, Eddie Sharkey, joins us again to discuss training them and what they were like outside of the ring.
