Demolition Set for WWE Hall of Fame Induction & Renewed WWE Deal

The legendary tag team Demolition,consisting of Bill “Ax” Eadie and Barry “Smash” Darsow,recently addressed their current standing with WWE and the prospect of an induction into the WWE Hall of Fame. Appearing on the wrestling Life with Ben Veal podcast to accept an induction into the show’s own Hall of Fame, the duo engaged in a conversation regarding their legacy, their departure from the company in the early 1990s, and their new “Legends deal.”

On the WWE Hall of Fame and Current Relationship

During the interview, host Ben Veal expressed his belief that a WWE Hall of Fame induction is approaching for the three-time Tag Team Champions. “It does feel unavoidable that Demolition has to be inducted into the [WWE] Hall of Fame before much longer. I just, I just can’t see it not happening,” Veal stated.

Barry Darsow noted that this sentiment is shared by their fanbase. He mentioned that aside from questions about their match against one another in the 1989 Royal Rumble, the Hall of Fame is the most frequent topic raised by fans. “That’s probably the number one, one thing that we hear… ‘When are you going to get in the Hall of Fame?’ kind of a deal,” Darsow said.

bill Eadie addressed the status of the team’s relationship with WWE, indicating a positive shift after years of distance. “Hopefully our new relationship with them will be better, and so far, it has been,” Eadie said. “So bygones be bygones. Let’s start fresh”.

Reflecting on Their Dominant Run

Demolition’s tenure in the late 1980s established them as one of the most dominant teams in history. Eadie explained the origins of the team’s iconic look and persona.“Randy [Colley] had come up with the idea, and I think it was basically from the Mad Max series,” Eadie recalled.

Although the original pairing with Colley did not work out due to Colley’s recognition as Moondog Rex, the chemistry between Eadie and Darsow was immediate. “We clicked probably the second match we had,” Eadie said. “neither one of us worried about who was the strongest and who was getting over the most, it was the team first”.

Darsow echoed this sentiment,
