Ross says it at 2:07, I gotta think that there were wrestlers that used some kind of face paint (whether it be like with a military gimmick or Native American war paint) Was there a popular team before the Road Warriors to wear face paint as a part of their gimmick?

Somehow, I doubt it.

first wrestlers? no
first team? hmmm....

Might have been the first tag team to wear face paint to obtain that level of fame.

What about Demolition?

They came after the Road Warriors.

Way after.

Then who?

google says the great kabuki did it in the 70s

I don't think Great Kabuki is a team, which would be the question.

Besides, to be technical, Georgeous George would be considered one of if not the first with his makeup. But, he wasn't a tag-team either

Honestly, the only other team I can think of besides Demolition are the Blade Runners, and they were also well after Road Warriors were established.

No idea when that's from though. Could be well after Road Warriors.

K, so I just read they only wore the face paint for a feud against Road Warriors.

How about the Powers Of Pain?

The Powers of Pain were a knock-off of the Road Warriors

Wat about when Ultimate Warrior and Sting were a team ?

I think Tom had that covered as he mentioned the Bladerunners.

WEEEEEELLLL...! Looks like they were trendsetters and trailblazers!

but the question i answered was "but who?' implying "who was the first one"
so nana nana boo boo :p:p:p

Well, Razz, if you're going to be THAT WAY about it... "WHO" wore a mask, not face paint, and was covered in another thread weeks ago. As such, he was not first.:p:p:p

the correct answer is vince mcmahon, since he created everything

Raider Rock is the best wrestler to wear face paint.
