WWF: Original Demolition Theme, before Derringer

[guardian08527]

I think it might of been better for Smash/Crush to have gone back to this theme instead of the New Demolition theme.

[ProFitnessWest]

Bill Eadie; perhaps the best wrestler to never wear a singles world championship belt.

[ssmccullough]

lol back when the WWF creative team was a yellow pad in Vince McMahon's briefcase. I can see Vince now. "These fucker's don't need to be from a town! Just say from Parts Unknown and be done with it." Today 15 people would debate that concept before moving forward with their meeting...

[oldschoolbx1970]

The original theme still rocks. It would've been best if they had Gene Simmons perform the theme.

[AMQ82]

As soon as I hear the name Sivi Afi i think about a mix out of Afa and DiBiase

[casbah1982]

Parts Unknown is across the country from where Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Pamela Anderson etc. reside. They all live in "Parts Well Known"

[JPTest22]

Next time I apply for a job, I'm gonna put down "Parts Unknown" for an address.

[peterj10880]

I loved demolition they dominated the tag team division the 80s the had one of the longst tagteam title reigns ever capturing the belts at wrestlemania 4 and not losing them until the following summer, and think they where first tag team in the wwe at that time capturing the belts on 3 ocasions.

[MossGosta]

During that time, The Tag Team Division actually mattered :3

[mrfreeze0054]

demolition used to be the bad guys? i never knew

[quikfax]

@mrfreeze0054 They started out as heels, but turned halfway though their tag title reign. I think people saw them as such badasses that they started cheering them.

[ajax420336]

Seeing Demolition always reminds of what a naughty little slave I've been.

[donn409]

The Demos should've won way more than three world tag titles during their careers.

[tbb033]

@donn409 True, but back in those days winning even three was almost unthinkable, let alone more. It's enough that they just totally dominated the tag division back when it was competitive before Vince sold them out for the LOD's sake.

[donn409]

@tbb033 You're right. Today's wrestling fans think that winning more titles makes their idols the best when it's really about who dominated.

[gagarinreport]

@donn409 no, it's about selling tickets.

[donn409]

@gagarinreport That's what dominating does, it's makes the people want to buy tickets to see you.

[spliffslayer]

"the islanders "

[spliffslayer]

He was "Haku"...Duh!!

[polisci1]

Demolition = The original Stone Cold Steve Austin

[1021247365]

SIVI AFI=JIMMY SNUKA

[DrJReefer]

@1021247365 You=WRONG

[underdrifter]

Sivi Afi = one of the great jobbers of all time

[Lamont8705]

Demolition vs Taker/Kane

[wizeguy26]

was that arnold with vince on commentary? lol

[MrHandsallover]

@wizeguy26 Bruno Sammartino

[metal220]

@wizeguy26 jesse the body ventura he played in predator with arnold. or maybe monsoon

[Lengonator]

Are they the bouncers at "The Blue Oyster"?

[BlackSabbathory]

"From parts unknown" always a classic

[kclite]

I LOVE THE DEMOLITIONS OUTFITS READY TO KICK YOUR ASS IN LOL

[qewr4231]

The video is edited about the 2 minute mark. Scott Casey is getting pounded on and then BOOM all of a sudden Sivi Afi is pinned LOL. We didn't even get to see Demolition's classic finishing maneuver.

[seikogoldwatch2009]

@Ricardosauve It's Darsow, moron.

[mrtrin]

sivi afi is pre-islanders haku/meng , no?

[KaneRobot]

@mrtrin Nope. Different guy.

[mrtrin]

@KaneRobot Ah. Good lookin out. 

Apparently he DID actually six man tag with the Islanders though.

[joepod]

@mrtrin He was briefly a part of the Islanders as High Chief Afi.

[Astraldragon1]

Jesse Ventura is right Demolition with their masks on look like Jason Vorhees from Friday the 13th.

[carsellingfool]

Ian't their ring entry gear the same costume the guy from Beastmaster used to wear?

[UnbridledAtNightfall]

Hahaha, "Parts Unknown."

Gotta love those masks they had on. I always wish they wrestled with them on.

[radicalman33]

a lot of wrestlers are from parts unkown. i tried to google what state its in, but i cant find it.....

[GiantPantherTX]

@radicalman33 LOL, WWE Magazine actually did an article once about all the wrestlers from Parts Unknown. I'm sorry I didn't buy it now. You can write Mick Foley and ask him where it is. I always hear Jim Ross say that he's the mayor of Parts Unknown. XD

[wrestlingjoey]

scariest looking tag team, surprising since this was so pg rated.

[KingRedRichard]

They fold their studded vests very nicely for barbarous animals!

[PabloMGP]

@KingRedRichard Man you are so right. I bet their wives kicked the crap out of them at home if they left clothes lying around

[SadisticScott]

The Derringer theme is pretty much a remix of the original with lyrics

[Rossonere99]

Amazing

[mckendo83]

TUESDAY NIGHT IS KIDS NIGHT! TAKE EM! YAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[70snova]

Ax in 1991 was asked by pat patterson and mcmahon to do a singles run. He was going to be called brick " STONE MAN" clay and where a suit that looks like a brike wall. Ax said hell no. You vince told me i could work behind the scene. Take it or leave it. Bill eadie left it. He later said he regretted it. He would have made around $94,000 per year as brick stone man clay.

[AnimalLover1977]

So this isn't Berry Darsaw ?

[whelljack]

this tag team appears in the wrestlefest arcade game

[fivebearrugs]

@whelljack I remember that game! It had the Royal Rumble match, and, like Superstars before it, you had to fight in a tag-team tournament before facing LOD for the belts. The Demos in that game, however, were Smash and Crush.

[whelljack]

@fivebearrugs yeah i used ted dibiase and earthquake

[fivebearrugs]

@whelljack I never actually played it, lol; well, the game ALWAYS had people playing it so I never got the chance to actually play the game, lol. I did play Superstars a lot, but I could never finish the second round matches.

[Denji2006]

I thought their theme music was done by Alice Cooper or something? The one I remember, had a vocal track.

[xraycat30]

Wrestling was sooooo much better back then.

[fortheloveoftunes]

1:48 wow what a soprano-voice! .-)

[TRIPLEOGV666]

these matches were so boring, demolition was an automatic win, the pay per views were great. but today everyone has there own entrance and music. these jobbers were horrible

[wardust02]

Are these the original axe and smash??

[whysoserious89]

I figured Sivi and Scott had it in the bag. 

[stdamon]

The Duke of Dorchester Pete Dougherty FTW! 

[xthantos]

REmember every Saterday they would bring in the Big names and they would be fighting no name dudes.. They would announce like introducing his opponent " Joe duggleberry".. Gee how did our champs ever win those matches lol....

[Vikkisnake]

I always thought it was weird how they made Smash cover up his tat with an elbow pad.

[mysticx0]

@Vikkisnake and then after demolition they had the nerve to put a retarded tattoo across his forehead....

[TRUTHS2YOUARELIES2ME]

@Vikkisnake To make it harder for the fans to realize that he recently worked as Krusher Kruschev for Jim Crockett.

[PimpyMcHoSmack]

These two guys already in the ring are about to get their fucking asses WHUPPED.

[reprodution]

Sivi Afi looks like jimmy superfly sunka (idk if i spelled his name right)

[underdrifter]

Demolition = knock off Road Warriors!!

[SolidMike84]

@underdrifter

No more than "Powers of Pain"

Mad Max = LOD/The Roadwarriors (The Roadwarrior) and Demolition (Lord Humungus)

[TRUTHS2YOUARELIES2ME]

@underdrifter You are so correct!

[ShaneKarma376]

@underdrifter Demolition = S&M + Road Warriors lol.

[LordEli]

@underdrifter Nonsense Demolition were always better than Road Warrior and were completely different in appearance and Gimmick, you really need to do your homework hell their ring attire didn't even look the same, what cause they got face paint they are knock offs? Hello Demolition Looked more Road Warrior from Mad Max than Legion of Doom did

[mrtrin]

@LordEli To be accurate... if the road warriors were the wrestling version of black sabbath, then demolition was the wrestling version of KISS

[AdoublesLdouble]

@LordEli Demo was more loosely based on KISS, which was what I always thought, if anyone were ripoffs of the Road Warriors it was Powers of Pain

[sdfbsdfhsd]

this is hilarious!

America has offered us some of the most ridiculous shows ever!

[TheMadStork83]

Ironic how Barry Darsow (Smash) is good friends with Hawk & Animal and he & AX were often called "rip-offs" of Hawk & Animal.

[LSweet2007]

Parts Uknown means up each others buttholes!

[PhenomAJ]

Scott Casey was a GREAT worker. I never understood why him, Al Perez and Brad Armstrong never went anywhere.

[HaohmaruOfTheWind]

They got their clothes from Tanya Roberts from the beastmaster movie

[noizyme]

I grew to love Demolition, but I hated tag teams like this that come to the ring with 50 lbs of gear on that they had to strip off.

[TrueTalkTV]

Is that Culley or Darsow there as Smash?

[Astraldragon1]

@TrueTalkTV , Who's Culley? Demolition was Ax (Bill Eadie), Smash (Barry Darsow), and later Crush (Brian Adams). I've never heared of this Culley Guy and I grew up during the 80's and remember when Demolition Debut and them being Ax (Bill Eadie), Smash (Barry Darsow).

[TrueTalkTV]

@Astraldragon1 Randy Culley was the original Smash (for a very short period of time) before Barry Darsow joined the WWF and took over the role (after previously playing Krusher Kruschev in the NWA with Ivan & Nikita Koloff)

Culley was one of the Moondogs, and fans recognized him when he started playing Smash. So they quickly got Darsow to replace him.

[DBZmegafan99]

@TrueTalkTV that's Culley

[laggerg]

@TrueTalkTV That's Darsow, after he replaced Colley (which is the true spelling of his name), Colley went to the Alabama based territory,Continental Championship Wrestling area, and continued with his image as Detroit Demolition.

[unclestrug]

I can't find *official* lyrics to the Demolition theme song. There's one line that sounds something like, "Never say you're out of condition"... while other sites take a guess that he says "Better state your act of contriction". Neither one seems right.

[NYGuy322]

@unclestrug

"Here comes the Axe, Here comes the Smasher

The Demolition, walking disasters

Pain and destruction is our middle names

Search and destroy you, run and we'll find you

There's no place to hide, the Demo's will get you

Pain and destruction is our middle names

The Demolition

Better say your act of contrition!"

[mikephenix]

Longest match ever!

[fmthebaron]

What took so long for Demolition to beat those Jabronies.

[GhostDistortion]

@Ricardosauve That should be Darsow since I think the Randy Culley Demolition was managed by Luscious Johnny V but when he speaks it just doesn't sound or look like Barry Darsow, so I'm leaning toward Culley. I know he only wrestled like 4 or 5 matches with them before he was replaced with Barry Darsow, and I could swear that was before Valiant sold the contract to Fuji.

[2TWISTEDBALLS]

bring out the pimps

[gtz1975]

Randy "the original Demolishion Smash" Colley was also Dead Eye Dick in WCW in 1991 as 1/3 of the very short lived Desperados (with Black Bart and Dutch Mantel)team who were searching for Stan Hanson...

[laggerg]

@gtz1975 To add, he was "Moondog Rex", "The Nightmare" in Bill Watts' Mid South/UWF area, one The Shadows tag team in the WWF, "The Gladiator" in WCW, and even as far back as one of "The Assassins" with the original Assassin (Jody Hamilton), in the early '80s WCW.

[bigkurt]

They sould of have demolition in the smackdow vs raw game for the legends.

[MrDwind2003]

I think it's Barry Darsow is Smash

[JMFabianoRPL]

Someone needs to dig up a clean version of that song!

[jmpowers83]

Smash looks different

[liewwrestling]

once jesse said " from the movie friday the 13th" i knew vincedidnt have a clue what it was and would dvr it or whatever you did in the 80's

[rodcube]

the opponets  look like "haku" and jake the snake"

[unicorn187]

Demolition was influenced by KISS, and Friday the 13th, as Jesse says here.

Legion of Doom/Road Warriors were influenced by The Road Warrior with Mel Gibson.

Just because Sid Vicious dressed up as Lord Hugh Mongus with a Demolition-style mask may explain all the confusion.

The Demon in WCW mocking Demolition and KISS should have closed this debate!

There was plenty of 1980's Action and Fantasy characterization to go around everyone.

There was no character theft whatsoever.

[leck3o]

mantuar was my favorite member

[steviekeyz]

Damn, this reminds of when WWF was on USA for like 3 hours almost every night. F'n loved those days. Classic shit right here.

[bigasssuperstar]

I just watched the WWF Frank Tunney Memorial Tag Team Tournament from Maple Leaf Gardnes in March 1987 ... shown recently on WWE On Demand ... and the same no-lyrics theme can be heard there, also.

[jassonbender]

how things shouldbe they should have guys agaisnt up n comers still

[KaneRobot]

For years I insisted that Demolition had a theme before the Piledriver song and people would tell me I was wrong. Thank you internet.

[JamesTClement]

It was basically the same song as the main theme, just without the lyrics, and the later version was far more hard driving.

[mrsklmiller]

The remix did them a lot of justice!

[toucansam3]

Hard to believe Demolition won so fast. That team of Sivi Afi and Scott Casey was quite the powerhouse in the late-80's.

[fivebearrugs]

I read that Sivi Afi was briefly the third member of The Islanders (ala Crush, lol). Scott Casey was a replacement wrestler in the 1988 SurSeries :)

[Fanik8]

Replaced B. Brian Blair

[fivebearrugs]

And didn't B3 replace JYD? There were a lot of replacements at that event...

And let's not forget that Hillbilly Jim and Koko B. Ware were in the main event! :)

[Fanik8]

Oh I don't know. Probably

[06ECLIPSEGTP]

they look like jason, thanks captain obvious

[Hooklineansinker]

best tag team of all time!

[TNO73]

You are joking right? Please tell me you are joking. Demolition were WWFs answer for the Road Warriors. The best tag team of all time. I personally think in no particular order the best teams are L.O.D, The British Bulldogs, The Hart Foundation, The Wild Samoans, Rock & Roll Express, Midnight Express, Steiners, Arn & Tully. To name a few Demoliton should be on there too, but no anywhere near #1

[mckendo83]

@TNO73 i'm pretty sure they have the record for longest tag team title reign... so yeah they should probably be on the list.

[TNO73]

@mckendo83 1st it is scripted, so titles don't really mean that much. The Road Warriors were given their titiles cause they could run with it. Did they need those titles not really. They were as over as anyone I have ever seen. Like Undertaker, the guy would be considered an all time great even if he NEVER won a title. Hogan held a title for years, but guess what? He is a lousy wrestler. I have never liked the guy. Limited move set. Stupid "hulking" up. & the posing after. WOW! that is exciting

[mckendo83]

@TNO73 I don't know, if we're getting into best tag teams of all times based on in ring ability and move sets i'm sorry but 80s wrestling pales in comparison to every tag team team in the industry today. I guess you can't compare eras but other than the hart foundation - and mostly brett hart, punch kick body slam wrestling is impossible to watch today because its so one dimensional. Teams like the Hardy Boys, Edge and Christian, The Eliminators for example are all better athletes and wrestlers

[TNO73]

@mckendo83 Well if you take out the TLC matches that the Hardys & E&C. I think the British Bulldogs are one of the best of all time. I think thought they were amazing back in the 80's & if they were around today I STILL think they would be one of the best. They had a great move set (limited by the WWF) Dyno could do a lot more than he was allowed. DBS Was strong & also very gifted. They could do it all in the ring & from all accounts I have ever heard or read Dynamite Kid was LEGIT tough.

[gorf28]

this isnt there original thee, they had a theme like mankinds original wwf them.

[timmay853]

I think the theme you are thinking of is the third and last theme. It was used when they went heel with Crush and had Fuji as their manager again.

[gorf28]

think ur right, was that long ago,lol. Still a great tag team, would have been good if they stuck around for a few more years

[louiev2000]

Back then, I hated Demolition but they were bad-ass. Ax had an awesome voice.

[toucansam3]

That voice was put on. I met Ax once, whose real name was Bill Eadie, and his voice was nowhere near as rough. He was a nice guy too, I think I spoke to him for about a half hour backstage at a wrestling event.

[Gvieto]

He was also The Masked Superstar and he was a very good masked wrestler.

[toucansam3]

He was wrestling as the Masked Superstar the day i met him. As that character, he once wrestled in front of 150-thousand people in Pakistan, I thought that was interesting. He's a gym teacher in Georgia now.

[Gvieto]

Thank you for the story. It was very interesting.

[Shoooooooo81]

Hmmm this is interesting, why is it they didn't go for a close up on Sivi Afi...are you sure its not Haku in there? LOL

[ex0ja]

lol poor Sivi Alfi, 'from the South Pacific". Very specific!

[toucansam3]

Didn't Smash replace the original guy in Demolition?

[MINTY442]

no its b4 his patented tattoo on arm of the eagle and his longer hair. gorrila monsoon had a hard time tellin em apart

[AndrewsOpinion15]

ha ha parts unknows !!!!!!!!!

[fivebearrugs]

He and Darsow sound similar... I'm amused that Demolition is "happy" that they now lyrics for their song XD

[MrPerfect77]

Where can I see the first show ever of when WWF became WWE ?

[ioratiskrishserhetai]

DEMOLITION AS SHAO KAHN

[steeltownbrown52]

Oh this is just a instrumental.

[TheCastellan]

Venturea's right...they DO look like Jason.

[wrestletube1]

In 4:40 in video "demolition debut (with original smash)" you can hear their real 1st theme and it isn't this.

[bigasssuperstar]

Thanks for the note. I checked it out, and compared with two other uploads of the same footage. What you heard wasn't theme music -- it was replay or bumper music .. music used to bridge between two segments. At the time of their debut (with Culley), they had no music.

[dudemcrude]

This is definitely Barry Darsow, no doubt about it. Good find, I had never heard the theme song prototype before.

[Rob23]

This is Barry Darsow, not Culley.

[MoneyMike1420]

no thats culley actually,

[LordEli]

I kinda like this one better without the Rick Derringer lyrics, think it matches their attitude albeit the Rick Derringer was classically known

[centuridan]

WyldChyld, that's Barry Darsow as Smash. Culley was long gone by this time.

[wyldchyld76]

Oh damn, you're right. He just looks so different with shorter hair, and you can't see his Harley-Davidson tattoo cause it's covered up by the elbow pad. Thanks for pointing that out. :)

[Gio7426]

CULLY last 3-4 weeks, DARSOW replaced cully i remember this like it was yesterday......80's rocked, WWF was like a new toy back then

[wyldchyld76]

Wow! Randy Culley as Smash. Bruno Sammartino doing commentary with McMahon. Damn, this clip is OLD, lol.

[KHayes666]

lmaooo Sivi Afi, after Snuka got shitcanned they brought in this guy to be like Snuka.

Scott Casey was at Survivor Series 88 lol

[muratshawn]

Wow...who is that beauty in the first 2 seconds of the video ? ? ? :)

wonder how she looks today 20 plus years later :)

[snuffereet]

This was the better song too. Derringer did a great job in keeping the same rhythm guitar lines but this theme is so raw and frickin' heavy!

[Sjawo]

Ax and Smash are by far the best tagteam ever!

Fuck LOD or all that other crap!

[cosmokramerrules]

much better then lod

a famous wcw tag team for the most part

[mangere77]

they look like BDSM gimps!

[willieg54]

what all ways said. LMAO

[konman001]

I think that The Road Warrior or Mad Max movies had a big influence on their image and costume design

[bluethundershark]

I think Demolition deserves to be in the hall of fame

[DBZmegafan99]

@bluethundershark all 3 of them

[HardrockGX]

they were a complete rip-off of the Road Warriors. But with said, they became a formidable unit...

[ParticleSon]

and that was rare. Ripoffs usually never lasted but demolition did & i'm glad

[wyldchyld76]

Well, DX is considered a ripoff of nWo, and they also lasted pretty long... as you can see just by watching WWE these days.

[TheCastellan]

DX always bored me. I found NWO more entertaining.

[bloodlustsatan]

i think powers of pain were more of the LOD rip offs...demolition were lord humongous rip offs BUT they have good ring pychology...

[fiveagainst1]

This one got it right. They were a ripoff of the Road Warriors, indeed. But they really became awesome in their own right.

[down4adrink2]

i used to love their gear!

[cocoabononohead]

Fuckin A.

Demoliton was from Parts Uknown?

Man, I gotta find this place.

[bckq78]

Probably from the same area as the Ultimate Warrior

[cocoabononohead]

Warrior was fag. I never liked that fuck.

[JasonL77]

@cocoabononohead It's right outside of Dudleyville.

[DBZmegafan99]

@cocoabononohead I heard it's full of badasses

[kaox44]

They look badass, same with LOD.
