Get ready to add one of the most notorious tag teams of the territorial era to your Legends of Wrestling lineup—Rip Hawk and Swede Hanson, the original Blond Bombers! Known for their arrogance, sharp suits, and devastating in-ring tactics, this duo dominated the Carolinas and beyond, leaving a trail of broken heroes in their wake.
Rip “The Profile” Hawk brought cunning and charisma, while Swede Hanson delivered raw power and intimidation. Together, they became one of the most feared teams in wrestling history. They competed most famously in the Carolinas, but also captured tag team championships in Florida, the Western States, and even Australia! Both men battled Bruno Sammartino in singles action early in their careers, and later feuded in tag team action with opponents like Johnny Valentine, Jack Brisco, Jerry Brisco, and Hiro Matsuda.
Hawk and Hanson join a star-studded LEGENDS EXPANSION PACK XIII roster that includes Sabu, Ken Patera, Dewey Robertson, Paul Jones, and Bulldog Brower. LEGENDS EXPANSION PACK XIII is scheduled to be released later this month. Pre-orders for EARLY CLASSICS 2077 and LEGENDS EXPANSION PACK XIII started this past Friday.
