The Career of The Headbangers

Wrestling Bios Presents - The Career of The Headbangers Mosh and Thrasher, better known as the WWE / WWF Tag Team "The Headbangers", worked for the World Wrestling Federation from late 1996. The duo had tagged previously as The Spiders in the USWA and Smoky Mountain Wrestling, however it wasn't until Mosh and Thrasher made their way to the WWF that they garnered a worldwide audience. During 1997, the WWF was going through a transitional period, where the company was getting away from the cartoon-like superstars of the early to mid 90s. The Headbangers gimmick in wrestling fit into what the WWF was trying to become, a more edgy and contemporary product. The Headbangers did indeed have some success during their first year within the company, as the team was able to win the Tag Team Championships in a Pay Per View match. So it leaves us wondering why The Headbangers weren't a bigger deal when the WWF's Attitude Era was in full swing.
