when did von raschke become their manager?

Something I just noticed is that PoP went from NWA or WCW to WWF with no change in name or look. Even the Road Warriors changed their ring attire & name. Going by the name Legion of Doom. The only other person I can think of at that time that did that was Ric Flair. Dusty Rhodes came in with the American Dream moniker, but that Gawdawful black with yellow olka dots outfit. Everyone else got totally repackaged with a new name, ring attire, or both.

@clevelandsteamer1000 The Demos WERE Road Warrior rip offs in that they were the WWFs version of them. The spikes, the paint, the beat the crap out of the opponents with reckless abondon. The only differnce I can state is that Ax & Smash did a bit more actual wrestling. The Road Warriors could do some stuff, but it was mainly on power stuff.

Everyone is complaining about ripoffs, this was wrestling at its purest. Real tag teams unlike DX and Airboom really wtf
-
lol at Jesse's comment about their unique haircuts. that was another similarity to the Road Warriors. not that I'm hating, because I loved the Powers of Pain, but I can't help but think that Jesse was doing an inside joke there.

It seems like every time I look at an old WWF video with jobbers, "Iron" Mike Sharpe is front and center in every video.
-
@johnissoevil Most likely because Vince figured he wouldn't ever convince the Road Warrriors to make the defection into WWF at the time.

Iron Mike Sharpe, wow does this bring back memories

highly underrated team. always in the wrong place at the wrong time. Come into the NWA and they are the Road Warrior rip-offs. Come into the WWF and they are the Demolition Rip-offs. Would have loved to seen these two guys with the gold. It's just too bad they NEVER had any mic skills.

LOL at the Road Warrior rip-off comments.
What do you think the Road Warrior's themselves were? Rip-off's of a movie. Even their idea was unoriginal.
I agree that they were the ONLY worthy Road Warrior ripoffs...Demolition weren't Road Warrior ripoffs as everyone says..they were distinctly their own, but man what a great era of tag team wrestling this was!
