PWInsider.com is reporting that Ax and Smash of Demolition
have signed a Legends deal with the company, opening up the
possibility of merchandise, inclusion in video games, and a
potential Hall of Fame induction.
Bill Eadie, who performed as Ax, had a long legal battle
with WWE over the Demolition name in the mid 90s, a battle
which he eventually lost. Barry Darsow, who wrestled as
Smash and Repo Man, then joined Eadie and others in the CTE
class action lawsuit against WWE. That lawsuit was also
dismissed by a judge with the plaintiffs getting absolutely
nothing from it.
They wrestled for WWE from 1987 until 1991 and are former
three-time WWF Tag Team champions. The team also had a third
member, Crush, join them during their last tag team title
reign.
