"What a Rush!"
From Chicago Illinois, the LOD is recognized by their face paint, fireworks on entrance, and shoulderpads, decorated with spikes. Hands down, the Legion of Doom are the most celebrated tag team in the history of professional wrestling. The former two-time Federation Tag Team Champions have competed, and succeeded, in virtually every major promotion. These two men formed one of the most solid tag teams in WWF history, rivaling if not beating the tag team unity shown by teams such as the New Age Outlaws and the Hardy Boys in their prime. Briefly, LOD contained Puke, or Droz, and he and Hawk became the LOD while Animal was put on the back burner. A real-life alcohol problem was brought on-camera, and an attempted suicide was even attempted by Hawk when he fell off the Titan Tron and was severely injured. Hawk then left Droz and Animal picked up the leadership role of the LOD. Hawk and Animal reunited, and after a series of setbacks, LOD have finally reunited with longtime manager and friend Paul Ellering. Now that LOD has returned alongside Ellering, only time will tell if they can pick up where they left off. Currently, the LOD are wrestling in Japan for the WWF, as they have made a brief appearance on WWF TV in the US from time to time. However, these two legends may pop up when you least expect it on WWF TV. Despite the apparent demise of the tag team, many argue that Animal and Hawk made one of the best tag team champions in all WWF history.
