RIP brother. 
Really saddened to wake up to this news yesterday— the passing of my friend, Joe Laurinaitis (on the left) aka ROAD WARRIOR ANIMAL. 
Joe & Mike aka HAWK & ANIMAL, THE ROAD WARRIORS were the most intense, legit tough bad asses tag team in the history of the wild world of pro wrestling. 
When I was making my bones, still learning the business in the WWE as a very young “The Rock” - I wrestled these guys so many times on the road and they always took good care of me and made sure I learned. 
Tough as nails. 
Good men. 
Greatest tag team of all time. 
And apple fritters (our inside joke).
Much love and I’ll always be grateful to you both. 
RIP.
