The Machines were a professional wrestling stable who performed in the World Wrestling Federation in 1986. The team consisted of well-known WWF wrestlers working under masks which strongly resembled that worn by Super Strong Machine in New Japan Pro-Wrestling at the time; leader André the Giant had faced Hirata and two other Strong Machines during tours of NJPW in 1984, getting the idea for the masks. The gimmick was very much tongue-in-cheek, as the identities of the masked men were obvious to the fans but frustrating to heels when they were unable to prove them. The Machines was the last tag team Capt. Lou Albano managed in the WWF until he returned in 1994 to manage The Headshrinkers.

  • I Machines sono stati una stable di wrestling attiva nel periodo 1986-87 nella World Wrestling Federation. Il team era composto da noti wrestler che celavano la propria identità indossando una maschera simile a quella utilizzata da Super Strong Machine (il wrestler giapponese Junji Hirata) nella New Japan Pro-Wrestling. Era stato André the Giant, che aveva affrontato Hirata durante un tour in Giappone della NJPW nel 1984, ad avere l'idea delle maschere. I Machines venivano presentati come "un nuovo tag team dal Giappone" le cui identità dei membri erano sconosciute, anche se era ovvio a tutti quali fossero in realtà. I Machines furono l'ultimo tag team al quale Capt. Lou Albano fece da manager in WWF sino al suo ritorno nella federazione nel 1994 come manager degli Headshrinkers. (it)
