just give me a
goddamned hug?”
Joseph Laurinaitis AKA Animal –
Wrestler, writer, pants peddler.
September 12, 1960 – September 22, 2020.
Aged 60 years.
Most recognized for: Alongside his partner Hawk, he was half of the fearsome tag-team The Road Warriors, AKA The Legion of Doom. Covered in face paint and metal spikes, their brutality elicited crowd reactions so deafening that it’s still talked about in locker rooms today. But do you remember those baggy pajama pants worn by meat-headed weightlifters called Zubaz? Well… you have Animal to thank for those.
