    Animal and his tag team partner, Hawk, formed what was arguably the most successful, popular and feared tandem of all time ' The Road Warriors," WWE said in a statement

    COLUMBUS (WCMH) ' Joe Laurinaitis, WWE superstar the 'Road Warrior Animal' and father of former linebacker with the Ohio State Buckeyes James Laurinaitis, has died at the age of 60.

    WWE announced his death on its website Wednesday.

    'One of the most intense Superstars to ever step into the squared circle, the 6-foot-2, 300-pound Animal spent the majority of his career alongside his tag team partner, Hawk. Together, they formed what was arguably the most successful, popular and feared tandem of all time ' The Road Warriors,' the WWE released in a statement.

    According to the WWE, the Road Warriors won the tag team title on two occasions and were eventually enshrined in the WWE Hall of Fame.

    James Laurinaitis was a linebacker with the Buckeyes from 2005-08 and won both the Bronko Nagurski Award for nation's top defensive player and the Butkus Award for the nation's top linebacker during his career. He totaled 375 tackles in his career. He is currently a talk show host on 97.1 The Fan in Columbus.

    This is a really good show. This episode talked about the beginning and the end of the road warriors, with everything in between.

    I was / am a big fan of The Road Warriors. I was just watching that Vice doc the other day, and was thinking that "Hey, maybe Animal will get in the ring again someday."
