Talk:Road Warrior Animal

message: The text that reads "While living in Chicago,[3] Laurinatis met Michael Hegstrand,[3] later known as Road Warrior Hawk, and the two became close friends. When Laurinaitis was around eight years old, he and Hegstrand both moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota[4]" could imply that he knew Mike Hegstrand since they were 8 years old, and that they moved to Minneapolis together. When of course they first met each other in a gym as adults.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.30.141.29 (talk) 10:28, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

text: In case that link's broken, it's from Animal's autobiography and says: "Hawk and I also decided we needed a unique hometown billing that complemented our style. Although we were really from Minnesota, so were a ton of other guys, and we weren't interested in having anything in common with anybody. Besides, Minnesota was far too nice a place to hail from." They "looked at a map" and "had always heard about how tough the south side of Chicago was". "This town had guts. From that point forward, we were announced 'from Chicago."

message: It's obvious that a majority of this article was pasted from the Hawk article. This one needs some re-working to be more Animal-centric, I think. -Jacquismo 23:40, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: "became a born-again Christian in 2003 and appeared at a number of Christian wrestling events run by Ted DiBiase and Nikita Koloff." is in all three articles relating to the Road Warriors. Does anyone know if both Animal and Hawk became Christians for a fact?
----
I went to a church (pastored by former wrestler "J.W. Storm") on 2008.01.13 where "Animal" gave his testimonial about becoming a christian.  He said he accepted christ into his life when his son was 12. I'd guess this would have been around 1999 (give or take a year).  So . . . I know for a fact that he is a christian, but I am not sure how to cite it.  I don't think it is fair to say that he became a "Born-again" christian in 2003, since it should have taken place 3 to 4 years earlier.  He didn't say a word about "Hawk", but after reading "Hawk's" wikipage, it would have made for an interesting story.  This is my first post, hopefully I did things correctly.  I'm not sure how this works, but I will check back at times if there are any responses, or if you want me to get further information

===Road Warriors===
Animal is listed as Joseph Laurinaitis, Hawk is listed as Road Warrior Hawk. I believe Animal should be moved to Road Warrior Animal. --Endless Dan 12:55, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: And again, his most notable name is Road Warrior Animal, which he has been known as for 20 years which caused him to become a recognizable figure in professional wrestling. How is being a dad compare to the notablity of that? Naming conventions wants the most commonly used name, and I don't believe him being a father garnered him the same amount of attention. — Κaiba 23:25, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
