Michael Hegstrand (September 12, 1957 – October 19, 2003) was an American professional wrestler. He is best known as Road Warrior Hawk, one half of the tag team known as The Road Warriors (The Legion of Doom in WWF), with Road Warrior Animal. Outside of The Road Warriors, Hawk was a sporadic challenger for world heavyweight championships on pay-per-view from the late 1980s to the mid 1990s.
While living in Minneapolis, Hegstrand attended Patrick Henry High School where he graduated in 1976. After high school, he had various odd jobs to make ends meet such as a butcher. Due to his size and love of power lifting, he was an imposing figure and thus a very effective bouncer. He would work as a bouncer at Gramma B's in the Twin Cities where he caught the eye of Eddie Sharkey, a well known wrestling trainer. Sharkey thought that Hegstrand, along with Joe Laurinaitis, Rick Rood and Barry Darsow could make it big in professional wrestling.
Hegstrand had started his career as part of the Traveling All-Stars. He was billed as "Crusher Von Haig" and wrestled in Vancouver. He was considered small at the time and people felt he lacked the skill to make it in the business. Hawk soon grew weary of the road and would get homesick. He traveled back home with another Sharkey trainee, Rick Rude. In 1983 fate struck these two again. Animal's partner for the night would find himself in legal trouble. Needing a quick replacement, Ole Anderson gave Hawk a call. They would be paired together again, this time as tag team partners. Anderson gave them the name the Road Warriors. Neither man knew at the time that they would make wrestling history that day.
Tag team wrestling is a type of professional wrestling in which matches are contested between teams of multiple wrestlers. A tag team may be made up of wrestlers who normally wrestle in singles competition, but more commonly are made of established teams who wrestle regularly as a unit and have a team name and identity.
In most team matches, only one competitor per team is allowed in the ring at a time. This status as the active or legal wrestler may be transferred by physical contact, most commonly a palm-to-palm "tag" which resembles a high five.
The team-based match has been a mainstay of professional wrestling since the mid twentieth century, and most promotions have sanctioned a championship division for tag teams.
The term "tag team" has since become used in common parlance to describe two or more people who alternate or cooperate in participation in an activity, and "tag-teaming" to describe the act of alternating with an ally, e.g. a couple tag-teaming in an argument with another person.
Hawk is a common name for some small to medium-sized diurnal birds of prey, widely distributed and varying greatly in size.
The terms buteonine hawk and accipitrine hawk may be used to distinguish the two types, in regions where hawk applies to both. The term "true hawk" (with scare quotes) is sometimes used for the accipitrine hawks, in regions where buzzard is preferred for the buteonine hawks.
All these groups are members of the Accipitridae family, which includes the hawks and buzzards as well as kites, harriers and eagles. Some authors use "hawk" generally for any small to medium Accipitrid that is not an eagle.

Hall of Fame: Road Warrior Animal & Paul Ellering's induction speech at the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2011 induction ceremony
Powerslam Magazine issue 67 [February 2000] Two separate incidents here, with one leading to the other. Back in 1996 before a New Japan card, Hawk & Savage had a blow up backstage. Three years later at a concert in the US the two reportedly clashed again. On November 6, 1999, at the Sun Dome Arena in Tampa, Florida, Savage & his girlfriend Gorgeous George & another woman ran into Hawk & his wife. According to reports Hawk extended his hand out of courtesy, but Savage battered it away & punched him in the head knocking him down & out. Meanwhile George & the other woman allegedly attacked Hawk's wife, cutting her open & tearing out lumps of her hair. Hawk later claimed that he had sought legal advice & was considering filing a lawsuit against Savage. Road Warriors ~ Danger, Death, & the Rus...
The in ring debut of Michael Hegstrand, better known as Road Warrior Hawk
Animal seemed to be in an especially foul mood as he gave the mustached jobber a considerably harder than usual beating. Following the match, with Paul Ellering looking harder than ever, the Road Warriors continued to cut a scathing promo laced with many sexual innuendos that perhaps go a bit over board. I don't own any of this material ... Vince McMahon does.
