The Headbangers were never destined to be the next Rock n Roll Express or Road Warriors, anybody with half a brain could see that they had their limits. That said, the team were still incredibly entertaining at a time when wacky and trashy was all the rage in wrestling. Who doesn't want to see a couple of metalheads attack a defenceless Crash Holly in a childrens ball pool while announcing that they'll get him in the balls? Though with a limited gimmick comes limited time, unless youre The Great Khali. Consequently, it wasn't long until The Headbangers were not considered a valuable asset to Vince McMahon anymore and were therefore released from the company. Since leaving the WWE, both members of the tag team have criticised McMahon for being cold and neglectful at the time their contracts were due to end, which Mosh says royally p*issed him off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-R8xqLsGA4 The Headbangers have regularly been mocked by the company since their departure in 2000 (Thrasher) and 2001 (Mosh). The WWE magazine recently listed the team as the number two entry in a rundown of wrestlers that overstayed their welcome. Only Scott Steiner ranked above the duo, who himself has had personal problems with the company.
