I do believe that LOD won the WWE World Tag Teams on three different times, and Demolition only held those belts maybe twice

Whats better though, number of reigns or the length?    Demolition still hold the record today for the longest reign.

I understand the MASSIVE impact the Road Warriors had, I own the DVD, I realise how popular they were and even Barry Darsow does admit they were a rip off, but he also thinks they should had had a better feud.

Demolition were clearly created as a rip-off but they were a big hit, they were massively over, but once Vince finally signed LOD they were quickly tossed aside in favour of the "Originals".  That is pretty much fact.

But when it comes to opinion, for someone like myself, I prefer Demolition, the matches, the promos, the entrance music.

This is a prime example I think of, "You had to be there".  I'm sure for you guys who experienced the Road Warriors first hand in their prime it was fantastic, but for those of us who look back, we often see things differently.

Take the Road Warrios DVD I have, most matches are SQUASH matches, as they said thats the way they worked for the most part, their gimmick was the fact they were vicious, brutal, destructive, but for me those matches do not compare to the likes of Demoliton vs. Hart Foundation, Strike Force, Rockers, British Bulldogs, Orient Express etc.

That's what is good though, we all have different views, it'd be boring if we all liked the same teams, no doubt Road Warriors were bigger and more popular but for many people that doesn't mean they were better.
