Trivia / The Road Warriors

• Breakup Breakout: Kensuke Sasaki (Power Warrior) was successful teaming with Hawk Warrior but he eventually held all three major Japanese World Titles (New Japan's IWGP, All Japan's Triple Crown, Noah's GHC).
• Creator Backlash: They hated the inclusion of the puppet Rocco in their first WWF run, which was forced onto them to help sell merchandise. It was the final straw that caused Hawk to walk out, and Animal liked to say that the puppet got "mysteriously lost" from their possession at the airport.
  • They were also not a fan of the alcoholism related storyline that Hawk was given in 1998. When Droz was brought in as the third member and turned heel on the group by "killing Hawk" (pushing him off a titantron), that ultimately led the both of them to decide to walk out again.
• Real Song Theme Tune: Black Sabbath's "Iron Man". Ozzy Osbourne's "Hellraiser" when teaming with Kensuke Sasaki (Power Warrior).
• What Could Have Been: In 2001, Animal was contacted by Shigeru Saeki, founder of the Mixed Martial Arts company DEEP. Saeki was known for his liking to book professional wrestlers in MMA fights, and he wanted Animal to fight Kengo Watanabe, but Animal turned down the fight.
  • The Warriors were writing a book about their careers when Hawk died unexpectedly in 2003.
  • Although it obviously wouldn't have lasted too long due to Hawk's inevitable passing, their cameo appearance on Raw in 2003 was somewhat of a tryout. Hawk getting up almost immediately after the pinfall to Kane's obvious annoyance put an end to that.
