Legion Of Doom
vs.
Demolition
Semifinal Match
Welcome to The 4th Annual Hasbro/Retro Classic, a tournament where you determine the winners... and just by voting, you could qualify to win a FREE Hasbro figure when the tournament concludes this spring! This unique tournament features WWF Hasbro figures battling it out with WWE Retro figures for tag team action figure supremacy!
The second of two semifinal matches in the tournament features The Legion Of Doom (Hawk and Animal) against Demolition (Ax and Smash, with Crush at ringside). Who will this long-time rivalry and advance to the finals of The 4th Annual Hasbro/Retro Classic?
From the outset, The Legion Of Doom dominate their face-painted foes, tackling Smash and hammering him with repeated blows.
Smash tries to fight back valiantly, but Hawk no-sells the Demolition member's offense and keeps getting back to his feet.
Hawk tags in Animal and the two Road Warriors combine forces to grab Smash's arms and ceremoniously dump him from the ring to the arena floor below... while Ax can't do much more than look on in fear.
Eventually, Smash makes his way back into the ring and attempts to regain the momentum in favor of Demolition.
Picking his spots, Smash rakes the eyes of Animal, allowing him to get a temporary advantage. Using double-team moves that have become a staple of the Demolition repetoire, Ax and Smash make quick tags in and out of the ring.
After smashing Animal repeatedly, Smash and Ax turn him upside down in the corner and take turns kneeing the Chicago native in the stomach.
How did you vote?
Attempting to capitalize on their newfound success, Demolition keep Animal in their corner, tagging in and out while making good on their pre-match promise to "kick his stinkin' teeth in!"
With Animal weakened, Ax hoists Animal over his knee while Smash scales the turnbuckles. From the second rope, the team hits their patented Demolition Decapitation maneuver to a helpless Animal.
Will this be enough to secure a victory?

With Animal down and out, Ax goes for the cover. ONE.... TWO.... Animal kicks out!
Suddenly, Crush leaps up onto the ring apron, determined to keep the momentum in Demolition's favor.
Enraged, Hawk runs into the ring to take on Smash and Crush by himself, while Ax works over Animal. Soon, two of the Demolition members grab ahold of Hawk and attempt to ground the Road Warrior.
Was Hawk's hail mary attempt poorly informed?
Utilizing the kind of brute strength that made The Legion Of Doom famous, Hawk rams the heads of Smash and Crush together with a double noggin-knocker! Both members of Demolition are sent reeling and quickly tossed out of the ring by Hawk.
With Ax the only Demolition member left in the ring, Hawk hurls both his Hasbro-molded arms up in the air and signals that it's the beginning of the end for this semifinal match!
With Smash hoisted high above the head of Animal, Hawk climbs the ropes and jumps off, knocking the Demolition member senseless with a punishing clothesline!
Fresh off delivering The Doomsday Device, Hawk covers Smash. ONE... TWO... THREE! YOUR WINNERS: LEGION OF DOOM!!!
