Joe Laurinaitis, known to wrestling fans as Road Warrior Animal, has died, World Wide Entertainment announced Wednesday. He was 60.
Laurinaitis was also the father of eight-year NFL linebacker James Laurinaitis, who retired in 2017.
Along with Road Warrior Hawk (real name Michael Hegstrand), the duo were called The Road Warriors and, inside the WWE, referred to as the Legion of Doom — widely considered one of professional wrestling's most iconic tag teams. They won two WWE Tag Team titles together, and Laurinaitis dedicated his 2005 championship with Jon Heidenreich to his late former partner, who had died two years earlier.

Very entertaining and raised a great athlete as a son as well. Road Warriors were one of the best tag teams in every organization. RIP
