Isaacduke Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 So leading up to the War Games match, Hawk was announced as a partner. Something happened where he was taken out of the match, and replaced by THE SHOCKMASTER! Animal was at ringside for this match, and Hawk didn't appear anywhere else on the card. Can someone tell me what happened to Hawk? I'm working on an article for Ring Psych, and have clicked on the first three pages of Google links while trying to search for the answer and am coming up with nada. Thanks!

Cox Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Probably a New Japan tour? Check to see if there are any results online of Hawk wrestling in New Japan around that time. Edited to add: Looks like there was a pretty major event four days after Fall Brawl, Hell Raisers vs. Hogan and Muta. http://www.wrestletapes.net/newjapanmajore...okohama%20%2793 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Wasn't Hawk injured, which is what led to the creation of the Hellraisers Animal/Sasaki team to begin with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bix Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 It was the opposite: Animal was "permanently disabled" so Hawk formed the Hellraisers w/ Sasaki. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rob Naylor Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 It was the opposite: Animal was "permanently disabled" so Hawk formed the Hellraisers w/ Sasaki. On that note, I always thought the HellRaisers were fucking awesome. I saw in the WWE's Road Warrior documentary, that everyone shit all over the Hell Raisers, but I thought they were waaay better than they ever got credit for. I remember Meltzer hating them for squashing Choshu/Hase in one of their first matches. And the Ozzy song they used for their theme was fucking badass too and harkened back to the days of Roadies using Sabbath's "Iron Man" as their theme. Did Crush and Animal ever have an official match as WWF's "NEW Road Warriors" in Fall 92? If so, I guess Adams could claim he was part of both the Demos and Roadies...

Death From Above Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Man I think the fact that I'm not watching wrestling anymore is starting to really show. I just blew a $200 Jeopardy question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
