#4 The Legion of Doom/Road Warriors - Mad Max

Mad Max 2 was called what again?

Animal and Hawk are arguably the greatest tag team in history, with many considering them the greatest ever.

When the 20-time Tag Team Champions introduced their iconic look of face paint and body armour, while sporting Mohawks, they were strikingly similar to the characters portrayed in the 1979 cult classic film Mad Max.

While Animal revealed in the WWE "Road Warriors: The Life and Death of the Most Dominant Tag-Team in Wrestling History (2005)" DVD that the name "Legion of Doom" was taken from the Super Friends cartoon of the 70's/80's, the Road Warriors name had blatantly come from the Mad Max sequel, Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior.
