Talk:The Headbangers

E-Wrestling Origins?
Around 1996 or so I was pretty heavily involved in e-wrestling. One of the places I liked to frequent was the e-Wrestling Hall of Fame website (now offline), which highlighted great characters from the late-80s, early-90s Rec.Sports.Pro-Wrestling.Fantasy USENET group. One such team was Mosh and Thrash, The Headbangers, and their manager Fender. I have never been able to get anyone to explain to me how two guys in the WWF got a gimmick almost identical to the e-wrestling version, right down to their style of dress and finisher. I've always wondered if the fantasy characters were created by one of the two wrestlers or if a WWF writer created them for e-wrestling first, then put the gimmick on real people. Does anyone else remember what I'm talking about? 66.44.218.187 (talk) 11:40, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

There are a few pages that seem to support this, but I've never found any word from Warrington or Ruth about where the gimmick actually came from.

 * They didn't start in the WWF, they were in Smoky Mtn for a good while, maybe the E-fed took them from there? In any event this article really needs to at least mention their time in SMW. The skirts, for example, pre-date their Flying Nuns gimmick in the WWF. Here's a cite for some SMW matches they had http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/smw/results/1995c.html 76.226.116.122 (talk)

Reassessment
I lowered the assessment because I feel it's lacking in some areas. It should have more information on the team from before they joined the WWF as well as at least one picture. Also, the wording is at times too casual.  Cra sh  Underride  01:09, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Under WWF tag team champions / second paragraph
It's listed near the end that they were on WABC New York tv station, yet completely fails to say for what. Makes no sense at all why that was even written without any explanation as to why and what importance it is. Are we now going to list every single tv station any wrestler has ever been seen on as some big accomplishment and their careers ?
