How did he get paired with Ivan and what were his thoughts on Nikita Koloff. We talk in great details about their feud with the Rock N Roll Xpress and all the greats of the NWA era. You will hear how he almost knocked out Crockett after a Starcade event. In fact it was the same event that Billy Jack Haynes talked about in his shoot. It must have been a rough night for the Crocketts. How did he end up going to the WWF and becoming one of the greatest tag teams of all time Demolition. What were his initial thought on Vince and teaming up with Axe? We talk about all of his infamous tag matches with Hart Foundation, Bulldogs, Powers of Pain, Tully and Arn, Rockers and of course the Road Warriors. Tully Blanchard gets some heat and you will find out why he had a problem with Tully. Find out about the problems they might have had with LOD. We talk in great detail why the team broke up and how he became the Repo Man in the WWF. We dont miss any of his feuds at all in this one. Why did he leave the WWF and go back to WCW and how did Arn Anderson help him land a job as Blacktop Bully. He talked about why he got fired after his truck blood bath match with Dustin and why he was brought back.
