[More Cowbell]

D,  don't even TRY and tell me I wasn't there back in the 1980s.  I might of been a young lad but I remember it clearly I went to 2 or 3 "house shows" pre 1990  and if you want to check my credit I went to the BIGGEST wrestling ppv of all time. Don't accuse me of not being there in the 80's. I've seen hogan wrestling in 2 different promtions under 3 different decades in person.  I seen macho man from ic to world champion to macho king,to macho face, to raw announcer, to wcw, to nwo macho, wolf pack macho, to rapper macho in a featured roled in spiderman. Do you need me to bust out my picture with owen hart when I met him as a child to prove I was there?

Since the 1980s I think I've witness 7 or 8 wwe events, 4 or 5 wcw events and 2 original ecw events.

Now onto LOD and Demolition. I know I'm not going to convince anyone to switch sides but hereshow COWBELL sees it.

To call Demolition merely a ripoff is merely underrated. A ripoffto me is gillberg.  Now while Vince used the idea of lod to create Demolition they stood their own ground.  To me isn't lod just a rip off from the mel gibson mad maxx movies?

Championships, yes LOD had more.  They were a lot younger when they started out where as Demolition was created using ring vets. Darsow wasn't even in the original plotted Demolition, then they brought in Crush freebird style because Ax was getting too old, if they would of been younger and had owned their names they could of done something besides wwf.  Vince owned the trademark and wouldn't let Darsow and the original guy use anything close to sounding like demolition afterwards. So that's why LOD got around so much. Once they got est in WWE they were set and isn't that why vince started calling them lod instead of roadwarriors for he could make more money.

Matches and fueds. I give this to Demolition as they didn't do the quick squashmatches with a doomsday. Hell there 2 out of 3 falls match with Hart Foundation is a classic. They fueded with better teams.

Dvd? Hell if you want to see Darsow getting paid to come in foran interview saying how they were just a lod ripoff and see a great selection of squash matches go check out amazon.com

Entrance and promos. The leather studs,facepaint,was great.to me they were more intimidating. With or without fuji by there side seeing them cut promos on their opponents could be used to this day as a teaching application for new tag teams on how to make it.

Also for me LOD could of been better had they "burned out" instead of milking it too long, playing hawk as a drunk on tv and then lod 2000 is a little too much for me.

In the end my pick will always be Demolition they would give the fans more enterainment then LOD could.
