10 Fascinating WWE WrestleMania 7 Facts
2. Paul Roma Was Legit Spooked By Taking The Doomsday Device
Instead of Demolition, The Legion of Doom were paired with Power and Glory, the tandem of Hercules and Paul Roma. The match ended up being a minute-long squash, ending with Roma getting floored by LOD's devastating finish, The Doomsday Device.
Later in 1991, at a show in London's Royal Albert Hall, LOD and Power and Glory were set to work together once more. Before the match, Roma confided to Animal that taking the Device at WrestleMania caused him to land awkwardly, and it put a scare in him. Animal, per his recollection, said he understood, and they agreed that Roma would take the fall after being caught in a powerslam.
Animal has further noted that if you see him and Hawk win a match without using the Doomsday Device, in the majority of instances, it's because somebody was (understandably) afraid to take the move.
