Personal Memories: I remember being taken by them just by their look the first time I saw them. I had never seen anything like that before and was immediately a fan. I also remember Hawk's promos in which he would vividly and graphically describe what they would do to their opponents while also using humor. Stand out matches include against Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard, The Steiners, the Hart Foundation and many ohters. These matches really proved they could work aside from being powerful brawlers.
