Demolition, a legendary tag team made up of Ax (Bill Eadie) and Smash (Barry Darsow), appears to have reconciled with WWE, potentially opening the door for their long-awaited Hall of Fame induction.
The issues go back to a 1997 lawsuit over name and gimmick rights and their involvement in a 2016 concussion-related class-action lawsuit, which had strained the relationship between Demolition and WWE. Barry Darsow revealed that WWE invited the team to last year’s WrestleMania and Hall of Fame ceremony, which they were unable to attend due to prior commitments.
This comes at a time when, under Triple H’s leadership, the company has given back to Legends and honored them regardless of their past standing with the company. Eadie has since expressed optimism about their future with WWE.
Their profile was added back to WWE’s Alumni section. This has led to fans hoping that they could be getting a Hall of Fame induction this year.
Crush (Brian Adams) later joined the tag team. As three-time WWE World Tag Team Champions, Demolition held the titles for a significant period, including a record-breaking reign, and their combined days as champions remain a WWE record. They also had memorable rivalries with teams like The Road Warriors, The Hart Foundation, and The British Bulldogs.
