GEORGIA TERRITORY DAYS
1970s: Bill Eadie started up in the old Georgia territory under the persona of Masked Superstar. Bill Eadie won four Georgia Heavyweight titles. And finally, on August 29, 1981, Bill Eadie unified the Georgia title with the National Heavyweight title, defeating Tommy Rich.. 

WWF
1985: Bill Eadie headed up north to the World Wrestling Federation. 
Bill Eadie originally appeared under a mask as "Super Machine" in the group known as "The Machines", along with "The Giant Machine." The whole angle revolved around Andre being "The Giant Machine."  Andre had recently lost a Loser-leaves-town match and was not supposed to wrestle in the WWF, thus he put on the mask to get around the stipulation. Due to his large size, the fans knew it was Andre. The funny thing about this was WWF wanted fans to  recognize The Masked Superstar as well, but fans didn't because he was new in The WWF. Other wrestlers entered the angle in cameos like "The Hulk Machine" and "The Piper Machine."

DEMOLITION IS BORN
Bill Eadie and a man named Randy Culley (who was better know as wrestling under the gimmick "Moondog Rex") created the Demolition gimmick in WWF and showed the gimmick to Vince McMahon who instantly loved it.  Ax (Eadie) and Smash (Culley) wrestled a few matches on TV and it seemed to catch on, but soon after Culley left the WWF due to a contract dispute. In only a few days, Demolition continued with Barry Darsow replaced Culley in the role as Smash.

Here comes the Ax-
Here comes the Smasher-
The DEMOLITION- walking disaster.
Pain and destruction is our middle name...

So from 1987 through 1990, that heavy metal rift became the anthem for two of the most punishing athletes to possibly ever join the World Wrestling Federation. There was Ax, there was Smash and then there was DEMOLITION. Demolition Ax & Smash, were an instant success and immediately paired with manager Mr. Fuji. Although most fans really took to the tag team, Demolition was initially seen as a cheap Road Warrior knock off by insiders who knew that McMahon couldn't sign The Road Warriors. Some believed that McMahon created Demolition (or allowed it to happen) in order to upset The Legion of Doom who wouldn't make the jump to The WWF. Because WWF's numbers were higher and recieving national exposure, McMahon had hoped that fans might think that The Road Warriors were copying Demolition.

Demolition eventually dominated the tag team division. At Wrestlemania IV, Demolition defeated Strike Force (Tito Santana & Rick Martel) to win the WWF Tag Team Titles. Demolition then fueded with other teams like the British Bulldogs, the Hart Foundation and The Powers of Pain. On July 29, 1989 on Saturday Night's Main Event, The Brain Busters defeated Demolition to win the WWF Tag Team titles. But then Demolition beat the Brain Busters three months later to recapture the WWF Tag team Titles. Demolition was later beaten by the Collosal Connection (Andre & Haku) for the WWF Tag Team titles, until Wrestlemania VI where Demilition defeated the Collosal Connection to recapture the Tag Team titles.

At this point, Demolition began to take on a new attitude and added a third member, Crush. This was actually due to health problems Eadie was suffering from and so he could take a less-active roll in the team. By this time, The Road Warriors finally entered the WWF and feuded with Demolition. In some match-ups to accomodate a 6-man tag format, The Road Warriors & Ultimate Warrior faced the Demolition trio on numerous house shows.

Ax's back problems worsened and eventually forced him to take a managers roll while Smash & Crush defended the titles. At SummerSlam 1990, The Hart Foundation defeated Demolition (Smash & Crush) for the WWF Tag Team Titles. Around this time, Bill Eadie left the WWF and filed a lawsuit with Randy Culley, claiming that they owned the Demolition name, and gimmick. The lawsuit against the WWF finally came to a close in 2000, in which it was ruled that the WWF owned all rights. Eadie still competes under the gimmick today, because he does not care.

CAMP CASANOVA
On a Friday night, May 16th, 2003 at WOHW's Heroes & Legends Show in Rotterdamn, NY, Kenny Casanova signed Ax to Camp Casanova in a big match up against the then WOHW Heavyweight Champion The Texas Outlaw. Kenny had known Ax from some years earlier, as they had shared lockerrooms  together in both The USWF and NECW between the years of 1994-2000.  So finally the pair decided to work together. Though Ax did not win the fight, Casanova was very impressed with the fact that Ax was disqualified for ignoring referee Shae Whitey, who was trying to get Ax to stop a choke hold. The Texas Outlaw was almost rendered unconscious due to a lack of air.
