I have watched 100's of hours of shoot interview's, and have heard nothing but negative things about the team of Doring and Roadkill. I feel that its all bullcrap, and fabricated. This team was super over with the crowd. For anyone who has gone back ( Thanks Network) and watched these guys on PPV ( Guilty As Charged 2001 mainly) can hear the crowd go nuts for Roadkill, yet the locker room craps on him in interviews. My question thougj, is, why didn't Vince bring this team in? How could these guys slip through the cracks? Danny Doring, a 80's style jersey stud and Roadkill ( no explanations needed but..) A  ING WRESTLING AMISH-MAN!!! My preference in tag teams is strength/speed. Which usually leaves one man larger than the other. This team nailed that quota. They possesed an awesome look and in ring presence, and Roadkill was agile ( Joey Styles cheap pop) for a house! Obviously Elektra was, a bit aged in 2001, however, she could have hund with the Divas of that era too. Maybe not in-ring, but she would have fit right in with the centerfold worthy starlets on the roster. Now imagining the cards/feuds these two could have ended up on. Dudleys . Street fights! Hardy's, high Spots. Edge / Christian . In-Ring showdown. Yea, Dorings promo's were soft, and Roadkill didn't talk, but the gimmick was gold. So if anyone has any info on Doring/Roadkill trying to make it to WWE and why it failed, or why they chose not too, I'd love to hear it. Whats your thoughts on this team? Let's debate! |

Vince did bring them but not as a tag team but to be fed to punk. Roadkill got repackage and Danny Doring had 2 matches where he job to cm punk.

They were like ECW's version of Bret and Anvil in a way. But would never be as great as the Hart Foundation, and I could never see Doring being the next Bret Hart in any way. But together, they had the same style the Hart Foundation had, and they were a great team in ECW.
I remember reading they had a tag match with I wanna say the FBI on a Raw in June of 2001 and did all their ECW high spots stuff and the WWE crapped all over it.
Roadkill from what I heard, got a really big ego. I remember Bruce Prichard said that Roadkill should beat Taker at Mania and be the next big thing in wrestling. Thank God that never happened.

They even did a version of the Hart Attack; 'The Lancaster Lariat'. They were a fun team; great matches against Chetti and Nova... |

They were both signed to developmental deals after ECW folded, Roadkill was hated so much OVW told him not to come back even after offering to work for free, is this true, my guess would be yes a few people have told the same stories about them. Honestly I think they just weren't good enough or safe enough in the ring for Vince to trust, look at all the issues he had with Powerplant and WCW talent.

If you really wanted to broaden the scope of tag teams in ECW, the only to that really had the WWF look was the Pitbulls (who came really close to putting ink to paper) and the Dudleyz. Danny Doring and Roadkill were a good team in ECW but their style wouldn't translate well to the WWF.
One of the main reasons why a lot of former ECW and WCW talent didn't fair well in the WWF is because of their attitude. Many of those guys in ECW knew that there were no rules in ECW. Lance Storm said it best on Jim Cornette's podcast last year, Storm iterated why rules exist in wrestling. Many of these guys from WCW and ECW could have found success in the WWF but their attitude and demons held them back severely. Upper management tends to look at people under the microscope and sees if their living up to their expectations.

I never "got" Doring and Roadkill. At all.
However, I thought the idea of an Amish wrestler was pretty fun and cool.

Growing up, I loved Danny Doring and Roadkill. Looking back, Doring's work kind of irks me. He just tried to cram a bunch of high impact moves into a short amount of time. It's a cool visual, but there was never much psychology or story. It's like he's a CAW with the highest damage moves possible, in a negative way.
