Yay or Nay?
Smackdown had some fruity ideas in Ruthless Aggression era. I'd often call it Jokedown when most of the workhouses had moved on. This team was for a bit of nostalgia but Heidenreich....really? how did you find him?
The only positive was it gave Christy Hemme something to do and should could prance around to the LOD 2000 porno theme like Sunny did for awhile.

I liked his weird march to the ring he would often do I must admit.

Yay it was something to do with him till his contract ran out.
Nay-it was one of the most godawful stupid and boring things you possibly could have come with him. Would it have been so bad to shuffle him off as a sacrifice to some up and com8mg face as a way to get them over?
Yay...at least it wasn’t the frozen Nazi idea.

It was better than it should have been, but Animal was too old to get guys up for the Device in a way that looked safe, and Heidenreich was.... not graceful on the clothesline.

My friend the indy wrestler Jason Static took the Doomsday Device from this version of LOD. He told me he was thankful that it was Heidenreich and not Hawk. As we watched the match on tape, he was so proud of himself, saying "Watch me sell!" |

hated that even wearing the lod make up and pads he still came out in his red trunks which made them coming out together look awful

It was stupid. As mediocre as the tag division might have been, there's no way crappy Heidenreich and 6 month pregnant looking Animal should have been going over anyone,let alone be tag champions

Nay, it was a weird halfway point. I think Animal bringing 2 hosses together as a next generation of LOD MIGHT have worked, because it'd be a whole new team, but plugging Heidenreich in is basically saying he's in the REAL LOD to which the audience, well the younger ones don't care about LOD anyway either way, and older fans thought "yeah, no this is bullshit".
Also, Heidenriech was terrible so it would have failed no matter what.

Nay, LOD died with Hawk's passing.

While it was sad to see Animal looking all fat and out of shape, I saw them winning the tag team titles as a tribute to Hawk who passed away two years earlier.

I never realised how short Animal was until this run. I dunno if it was the beer belly or he lost height as he aged but his legs looked tiny.

I want to know this. Do you think that when Christy Hemme was their valet that it was done to draw attention on them? I mean it was done with Sunny in 1998.
Then again, Animal had that biker gimmick after this. Let's forget how bad that was.
