Warlord and Barbarian

[Stickman]

I do not remember these guys being a team with face paint looking like the Road Warriors but I've come across some videos of them. What was their story and any other details you can give me or any great moments videos would be nice.

whaaaaat, that's the POWERS OF PAINNNNN son, they were around 86/87 through like 89 maybe, started with Crockett before going to Vince, always kind of top of the '2nd level' of teams behind Demolition, the Harts etc, they were part of a double turn with Fuji leaving Demolition and siding with them at Survivor Series 87 I want to say, "classic 80's theme" etc

The Warlord always seemed like a legit bad ass to me

I liked the spot where Bulldog and Warlord would exchange full nelsons.

I guess since I was 4 in '87 it's hard to remember.

[Stickman]

I do remember Demolition, IRS, The Rockers, Hart Foundation, Nasty Boys, LOD, maybe that's why I don't remember this team.

It was Survivor Series 1988 (Not to sound like a geek)

I really wanted to leave it, but couldn't sleep knowing one of our junior members was fed false information.

baron von raschke was their original manager in WWE

he debuted with them but didn't stick around long as he returned to AWA

lol

yea, they were pretty non existent in WWE and were pushed fairly well in Crockett when they feuded with the Road Warriors.

They both really never went anywhere after they broke up in the WWF. Barbarian would actually get a World Title match at Halloween Havoc 92. someone thought he was a draw I guess

[Tom Guycott]

I remember the "breakup" of the Powers of Pain was unique in that they didn't have a feud or have one guy go face... instead, "their individual contracts were sold by Mr. Fuji to two different managers", (Slick and Heenan, I believe) and they both remained heels... just no longer a team.

Faces of Fear > Powers of Pain

[Seth82]

Powers of Pain were awesome in Jim Crockett Promotions

I did like Barbarian's tag team with Meng in WCW
