Which were the more powerful and devastating? I think this could go either way because both were very dominant teams as well as powerful but Id have to give the nod to the Warriors.

Well, ya' gots to give props to The Road Warriors, the innovators, over Demolition, the imitators. Nothing against Demolition. They were fantastic, but the Warriors at their prime were just surreal. I think both teams unfortunately were tarnished by their anti-climactic final years, which could make one forget their stellar earlier work. In both cases, later additions hurt their reps. For Demolition, it was Crush [who I think joined because Bill Eadie (Ax) was having health problems] and for the Warriors, it was definitely Rocco the puppet.

Sorry, Rocco was a dummy, not a puppet. Would have made a huge difference had he been a puppet.

Without a doubt the Road Warriors. Demolition was nothing but a pale imitation of them.

Yeah, I loved the opening of Rumble '89 with Ax and Smash. One of the best surprises in pay-per-view history. |

i only ever saw them in wwf. Pity, 3rdhardy, because they seemed indestructible in the other territories. The W.W.F.'s version was a little too little, too late, I feel. |

They were really inbelieveable in the AWA as champions. It seemed noone could stop them until the Freebirds pulled off a victory over them. |

Yeah, what a huge upset. Then again, a lot of unlikely teams won the A.W.A. Tag Team Titles, like Jimmy Garvin and Steve Regal (not the one who became William Regal in W.W.E.), Jerry Lawler and Bill Dundee, Ken Patera and Brad Rheingans, D.J. Peterson and Ric McCord I think it was, etc.

Demolition was a great tag team though. Great ring entrance music. I still have the vinyl album of Piledriver--The Wrestling Album II. |

The Road Warriors were perhaps one of the best and strongest Tag-Teams in history. When they first came out on the scene they were huge (muscle) wise and man handled any Tag-Team. I don't even count or consider Legion of Doom anything, when they went to the WWF, because that was not the Road Warriors and didn't show their true dominence at all. They were a waste in the then most fake WWF, when in the AWA/NWA, they were as real as can be.
I never liked Demolition, they were just like the band Kiss with slightly larger muscles, but neither was huge or in great shape. Just 2 Wrestlers with face paint and half the tough looking style of the Road Warriors, the WWF tried to copy them, but simply couldn't come close to the real Road Warriors, thus they finally brought them in, lol.

Let's not forget they didn't succeed at first bringing in Hawk and Animal, so they took The Powers of Pain, Warlord and Barbarian, who ironically were wrapping up a feud with the Road Warriors in the N.W.A. They were pathetic later on, but when the Powers first came in, they were pushed so hard I really thought Demolition's reign was over. Oh, the jobs those poor Bolsheviks had to do.
