Sid just needed smaller guys like HBK to bounce off of him. Don’t make him work outside of that comfort zone and you’re golden.

There was one jobber tag team that got fed to Ryback and for some reason they were allowed to cut a short promo beforehand announcing their names, which were a pastiche of US presidents and Freebirds, which I can't quite remember.

I was actually using this as a sample of what seems to be their strength and yet contrasting it with what is usually touted as great tag team psychology and work. This was fun and entertaining but isn't gonna win any Five Star awards. But maybe that's just how differently we think of wrestling now like an earlier user commented.

I grew up watching NWA on TBS and from the perspective of the then-8-year-old JS, the Road Warriors were who got brought in once some evil motherfuckers needed their comeuppance, I never saw them come out and expected a "match" so much as a "one-sided extremely satisfying rear end-kicking." I remember when the famous Midnight Express/RW scaffold match was announced and my thoughts on the matter (even at 8!): 1)This is loving insane 2)If you were going to do this, why against the Road Warriors 3)No, seriously, this is insane The greatest squashers of all time. OOOOOOOOOOOOH WHAT A RUSSSSSSH, RIP.

I was just thinking of 'Crash TV' and I realized that the Road Warriors were perfect for it because 3 minute matches were their forte. Nothing in the midcard was going to be winning 5 star awards in 97.

Until his knees started to disappear. Which required him to revamp his moveset. Peak was around 2000-2002, when he went bald and started to run with All Japan.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0S-w04qSJk I just watched this video and would like to draw attention to the fact that according to Eric Bischoff, Steve Austin once pitched an angle where he would be Hulk Hogans little brother. No, seriously, skip to the 12:30 mark if you don’t believe me. Can you imagine

Watching clash of champions 6 and apparently the WWE edited out 3 fights for some reason. Bob Orton vs Dick Murdoch, Ranger Ross vs Iron Shiek, and Varisty club vs road warriors (title match) Garbage.

WWF used to edit down matches in their early PPVs so they could fit on VHS tapes. I think it’s the first Survivor Series that has a tag match where several eliminations are just missing.

All of a sudden the Bulldogs are just gone (I think Haku pins one of them) and then it's the Killer Bees and Young Stallions playing underdogs.

I was able to find the Varisty club vs Road Warriors on daily motion. It was a good match. Road Warriors lost to variety club to drop the world tag team titles. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xuu3fr

Bob Orton vs Dick Murdoch, Ranger Ross vs Iron Shiek, and Varisty club vs road warriors (title match) If you're watching on youtube, the edits are usually (as far as I've been able to deduce) because the matches have been part of some WWE dvd release at one point. That's the only thing that really seems to trigger the content blocks on specific matches. Like, the entire first Jim Crockett Cup is fine to upload to youtube, except the final match because its part of the Road Warriors dvd set.
