You won't hear Demolition mentioned on WWE television very often.

This Rock 'n' Wrestling era tag team was created as WWE's version of the NWA's mega successful Road Warriors, consisting of Hawk and Animal, but grew into an astonishing and effective tandem in their own right.

However, since their WWE departure, they have been at odds with the company, owing to their part in a concussion lawsuit filed against WWE.

However, the three-time former Tag Team Champions are still well revered for their 478-days reign as champions, which lasted all the way from Wrestlemania IV, when they upended Strikeforce (Rick Martel and Tito Santana), to July 1989, when they dropped the straps to The Brain Busters, consisting of Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard.

It was a record that stood for over two decades, before it was finally surpassed by our next team.
