Road Warriors vs. the Dudley Boys

[BigDaddyCool]

I was just looking through that thing about the Road Warrior dvd, and it mentioned the Road Warriors are the only tag team to have held all 3 major tag team titles, AWA, WW(F)E, and WCW. And they made mention of the Road Warriors being the most dominate tag team in history.

While reading this, I couldn't help but think what about the Dudley Boys? Now the Dudleys never held the AWA belts to my knowledge, but they did hold the ECW belts, and ECW was the 3rd largest promotion of its day, kind of replacing AWA in a way. Plus I believe the Dudleys have held more tag team championships than the Road Warriors.

Both are good teams, but I don't know if the Road Warriors can be called the most dominate tag team with out at least mentioning the Dudleys.

[SuperSlim]

true.

[Innovator]

The Road Warriors are more dominating in the fact that they never sold.

[Loose Cannon]

Yea, awesome DVD. To bad they are not showing when Animal jammed the spike in Dusty's eye. I guess it's a little to graphic.

[M. Banana]

When was that?

[The CyNick]

I would say LOD were more dominant, because the Dudleys never really won the WCW tag titles. They won them in the WWE, and at that point they were really just another WWE championship.

Dudleys are/were a great team, but I dont think they can be considered in the same league as the LOD.

[YOUR Hero]

Why would a Road Warriors DVD mention other Tag Teams? It's about them. Therefore, they're only going to promote themselves in the best of lights.

[SuperSlim]

yeah usually DVDs are totally biased as to who they are about.

[Savio]

Yea, awesome DVD. To bad they are not showing when Animal jammed the spike in Dusty's eye. I guess it's a little to graphic.WTF? when?
-------------
Yeah dudleys held every big tag belt.

Yeah, you're not going to see a "Road Warriors--Third greatest tag team ever!" DVD.

[loopydate]

"Brooklyn Brawler: I'm number 8,549,176,320!" coming soon to DVD.

[YOUR Hero]

Wow. I didn't know there were that many people who had beaten him.

Not because he's better than that, but there's only so many times you can job in a single life.

[GODSON]

It really don't matter because the Steiners is better than both of them.

[Kane Knight]

It really doesn't matter because the Steiners are better than both of them.

[GODSON]

[YOUR Hero]

[roach21]

[YOUR Hero]

No, a J

[jerichoholic169]

Hey guys didn't one of the Road Warriors pass away recently?

yeah Hawk died October 2003.

[Disturbed316]

Do you think it will show Hawk being drunk on top of the titan tron and then falling off?

[Kane Knight]

Will you give me a F on my test?
Only on your IQ test.

[loopydate]

I wasn't insinuating that 8,549,176,319 guys had pinned him. I was insinuating that 8,549,176,319 guys were better than him.

[Rob]

Agree 100%

[M. Banana]

When did he fall?

[PureHatred]

When was that?

For those who are asking, I can't quite remember the year ('86 or '87 maybe) but soon after Turner took control of the WCW from Jim Crockett Promotions, Dusty Rhodes was the booker and was pissed off because they had mandated that there be no more graphic violence, violent terms like "kill", or blood on the TV broadcasts. So Dusty, as a protest, wrote a segment where the Roadies turned heel by attacking Dusty during alive interviw and used one of the spikes form their shoulder pads to gouge his eye, drawing tons of blood and gore.

Dusty got fired almost immediately and ended up in WWF. That was where he did the whole "black outfit with yellow polka dots and ahuge fat black valet" gimmick.

LOL Vince sure does have a sense of humour.

[M. Banana]

Wow, videos?

That's why they say they're the most dominate team. But has this DVD come out yet? I was thinking about getting it, but I didn't see a release date when I read about it.

[Kane Knight]

You forgot "able to leap tall buildings in a single bound."

[DaveBrawl]

They didn't have to leap them, they could knock them down. :shifty:

[olympic hitman]

In my opinion, The Road Warriors were the better tag team of the two. Their in-ring timing and chemistry were all-around better than the Dudleys. The Road Warriors basically were THE tag team innovators[not to take away from those before them]. But, once the LOD/Road Warriors made a resurgence in the tag team division, it paved the way for all future team to follow.

Don't get me wrong though, the Dudley Boys are definetely the best team currently together[with the rumored Eddie turn on Rey-Rey]. I just wish tag team divisions today were as deep and many as they once were.

[Kane Knight]

They didn't have to leap them, they could knock them down. :shifty:
True.

[BigDaddyCool]

I'm not saying that DVD's aren't biased and they should mention the Dudleys. I'm just saying it got me thinking, and I say the Dudleys are at least on par with the Road Warriors.

[Rob]

That's fair enough. Others don't though.

[BigDaddyCool]

They are definately the top 2 tag teams off all time. Lets see, who would round out the top 5 then? The Outsiders? The New Age Outlaws? Head Cheese? E&C? Rock and Sock? Brother's of Destruction? Nasty Boys? Public Enemy? The Impact Players? The Hardies? The APA/Acolytes (still, they are probably the most elite real tag teams besides Rock and Sock Connection, what with both member holding a World championship at one time)? Harlem Heat?

[PureHatred]

Steiners? Arn & Tully? British Bulldogs? The Eliminators? Hansen & Gordy?

There are so many...let's just never talk about this again.

[Kane Knight]

Head Cheese. They are the man

[BigDaddyCool]

Steiners? Arn & Tully? British Bulldogs? The Eliminators? Hansen & Gordy?

Shit, how did I forget the Stieners? I never saw the Bulldogs, and the Eliminators just suck.

[BigDaddyCool]

Hart Foundation

naw, they suck.

[DaveBrawl]

BLASPHEMY!

[Jaded-Dragon]

I was never a big Road warriors/LOD fan. Well... maybe a bit back when they were in the WWF with the nasty boys. The Dudley's from ECW were great. Best. Heel tag team. Ever. As for who was better overall... I'll still go with the Dudleys for me, personally. Even though I know most people would disagree. I just think they had the better overall package of mic skills and in-ring chemistry. They would of never been over in the 70's or 80's though, the same way LOD would never be over now.
