That is a very astute and accurate synopsis of the WWF during that time period...
"Cool & corny."

I looked at WWF as a cartoon and WCW/NWA as a sporting event. Saturday Nights Main Event (Hogan title match)  was the only time I looked fwd to a WWF event.

My sister bought me the "Piledriver" soundtrack for xmas in 87!   It was cool yet corny in a way.

Lol, same with me. I used to listen to the Demolition track by Rick Derringer.

Yeah that was cool too.   But Demolition was just a poor man's Legion of Doom!

I disagree. I though Demolition was a phenomenal tag team. They were very hardcore. I just wish they had a longer run. To me, The Powers of Pain were a knock off of the Road Warriors.

To this day, I honestly believe that Vince disbanded Demo partly because of his recent acquisition of LOD and didn’t want any type of overlap.
The same idea applied to the Powers of Pain.
Of course, team Demolition was further troubled by Ax’s health problems, which forced him to become a “manager” for the team while Brian Adams replaced him as Crush.

Bill Eadie was a good mouthpiece, but the change was not accepted well.
When the LOD/Demo feud fizzled, a lot of people believe it was largely because of having the “new kid” instead of veteran Ax in the melee.

Then they assigned Paul Ellering & a ventriloquist dummy to LOD, proving that one, tiny stupid part can totally blow the other three major parts of the biggest tag team in history.

did LOD and Demolition (the originals) ever even have a match?

I know they had a bunch of 6 man tag matches with LOD and Warrior vs all three Demos (with Axe not wrestling very much due to his heart issues) but I don't know if they ever even had a straight tag match..

Hardcore for WWF.  But kittens for WCW. Both were Road Warrior knock offs.  Make up....spikes ....finnishing move.  It'd fit more if Paul Elerring was japanese like Fuji.

Ellering was always with Hawk and Animal in WCW. I never followed them in wwf. Ellering was like Al Davis and the road warriors were like the Raiders ...the real raiders from the 70's and early 80's!

The Road Warriors will and always will be untaouchable and probably the best tag team.

The Road Warriors embarrased their legacy when they had their final appearance in the WWE. They no-sold their opponents' move and wrestled a shitty match.

You can thank Vince McMahon for that. He basically buried (or tried to) anyone who wasn't his creation so that when they left his company they would flownder elsewhere. That obviously didn't always work.
