Demolition was a professional wrestling tag team that was most famous in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) during the late 1980s and early 1990s, consisting of Ax (Bill Eadie), Smash (Barry Darsow), and subsequently Crush (Brian Adams). The team was originally composed of Ax, a Canadian amateur wrestler who had been working as a lumberjack in Quebec; Smash, a British heavyweight wrestler; and Crush, a Hawaiian amateur wrestler who worked as a grocery store clerk. They formed their partnership in 1986 after meeting at a WWF tryout camp. Demolition first appeared on Monday Night Raw is August 24, 1987, at the Boston Garden where they defeated The Hart Foundation (Bobby & Jim Hart) by default when their driver lost control of the truck that carried them down the highway outside of the arena. This was to set up a match at September's Survivor Series where they would face off against The Hart Brothers in what would become one of the biggest matches in WWF history. At WrestleMania VIII in Boston, Massachusetts, Demoltion fought The Hart Brothers in a match that lasted more than two hours before being stopped by police due to violence involved. It has been reported that around 20,000 people were in attendance at this event. After WrestleMania, Bill Eadie left the team to be replaced by Barry Darsow.
