Warlord and Barbarian, Powers of Pain, Cincinnati Promo

[rondunderfunk]

The Barbarian looks like he's about to, how you say, eat your ass?

[Warchief01]

I just saw barbarian about a year ago and talked a few minutes. I'm bigger than he is now and taller. Tv makes a difference somehow.

[MASKOAA]

@Warchief01 Yea b/c your going to be the same size when you get older and off the roids.

[Warchief01]

@MASKOAA I'm already older and was never a roid fan.

[MASKOAA]

@Warchief01 .....Are you seriously this retarded? Your not older then him...he aged, its like comparing Hogan now to 30 years ago.

[Warchief01]

@MASKOAA Since you asked " Are you seriously this retareded" Let me ask you a question. Are you Ignorant? No where did i say i am older than him. Better read it again slow this time. However he is only three years older than me. Not every body on here is a young fart.

[pajmf]

Nice subtle reference to the Polish population, Mr. Koloff!

[AtomicBlaster1975]

Is that Boris Zhukov behind Barbarian??

[cableguyxx9898xx]

@AtomicBlaster1975 It's "The Russian Bear" Ivan Koloff

[baliw33]

@AtomicBlaster1975 Ivan "The Russian Bear" Koloff The Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Champion.

[playadominical]

I met Barbarian at a signing and he was a total asshole. No brains either.

[TheLegendkiller2100]

@playadominical what about the warlord?

[playadominical]

@TheLegendkiller2100 didnt meet him

[TheLegendkiller2100]

@playadominical oh that's too bad.

[Edgehead10075]

The Warlord was Stone Cold Steve Austin on steroids.

[fmataele]

My brother is the Barbarian, and I know for a fact that he never used steroids! My brother doesn't drink, doesn't do drugs, and he is a wonderful family man! My whole family from my Mom's side our huge, naturally. My sons are all over 6'ft 7" tall! My 14 year old son is 6'ft 7" and he is 258 pounds. My other son is 17 and he is 6'ft 9" tall 265pounds! Need I say more! Our family definitely shows our Polynesian side! Ofa atu Barbarian! If you see my brother now, he is still in great shape!

[chefrustdog]

MUSCLES,man!!! YEAH!!!

[BigGuyDave524]

wrestling is a total joke , you had to be an a-hole to follow any of this  garbage

[vaderman27]

@BigGuyDave524 Its just a show! No different than your favorite show dawsons creek, you FUCKIN' FAGGOT!

[BigGuyDave524]

@vaderman27 you and your dad jerk each other off watching men touch one another you  BIG FAG

[ItchyGoomie]

just seen Barbarian last night at a high school..The man still is in good shape at his age

[RhinoRodriguez76]

@ItchyGoomie think about how hard it is to maintain that kind of mass and strength when you get past 40

[EGarrett01]

Warlord and Barbarian must not have been able to do a promo at ALL, I don't remember them EVER being allowed to talk in WWF, and apparently they weren't allowed to talk even here...

[herculeswrestler]

Has there ever been a better body in wrestling than Warlord....?

[kevin1278]

@herculeswrestler ~The Barbarian had the better physique in this vid. Look at those traps!

[BigGuyDave524]

@kevin1278 steroids you dumb ass

[kevin1278]

@BigGuyDave524 ~What a f*****g idiot you are. You mean to tell me that wrestlers were roided up? Stupid b****....

[BigGuyDave524]

@BigGuyDave524 you are a  homo guess you and your dad used to jerk each other off while your ho mom watched

[stufaman]

I don't hear anything about the Warlord or Barbarian now days. I'd like to find out about them. Why didn't Warloerd get pushed? He had the potential.

[Bloomer28]

Would like to have replicas of the 6man belts!

[userboy6]

Love the Warlord, he's my favorite

[dirtyfighter34]

Another classic Ivan interview! he played the asshole russian perfectly..hahaha ... and the Barbarian was HUGE and legit tough.

[Wayneman117]

I remember Barbarian when he first arrived on the wrestling scene...He was everybody's step child...oh how things changed,I guess.

[Beals1986]

they where a great team but I never could get what barbarian was saying when he talked & I still can't I meet him 2 years ago & did not know what he was trying to to tell me

[EmeraldAlliances]

The commercial at the end, was the the Fantastics who were on their way to JCP

[EmeraldAlliances]

The commercial at the end is for the upcoming arrival of The Fantastics.....

[Truthguy2121]

These guys are fucking huge...

[mkzrt]

I CANT BELIEVE BLAH BLAH BLAH I'M a RUSSIAN DUDE

[toddz1972]

These guys were Road Warrior rip offs.

[omgiheartpie]

Warlord is a strong motherfucker. 575 X 5 on the bench press. LOLWUT?

[33001648]

i`ve seen the barbarian incline bench press over 500 pounds for reps he is a big mutha fucker too

[MikeJames6]

I think they should have had a Polka challenge like Ivan Koloff said.

[azeron112]

Sorry, but at 1:09 on, Barbarian looks like a lighter version of Kimbo Slice.

[johnny2demax]

Why are you sorry for that comment?

[azeron112]

ROFL I typed exactly what i was saying to a friend LOL I kicked her by mistake and said "sorry, but..."

funny how the mind works

[johnny2demax]

haha just thought it was odd that you apologised straight away.

[bdmru1980]

Barbarian is much bigger than Kimbo dude.

[levedia]

What are you stupid man Barbarian is a monster next to kimbo slice he eats him for breakfast.

[chrisz31974]

F*ck yeah he does. Barbarian and Haku would beat the sh!t out of about 80 guys while Warlord sat there and bench pressed 100 pounds

[CadillacL]

They would crush 100% of the WWE/TNA roster.

[AnnacondaVice]

Ironically enough, The Warlord once led out Kimbo.

[deepseadirt]

it looks like feeding time for the Barbarian. LOL :D

[SadisticScott]

Cheap Road Warrior Ripoff

[deepseadirt]

no , that was Demolition. But I liked Demolition also.

[SadisticScott]

Actually they both were ripoffs: The powers of pain did the same tag finisher that the Warriors did, had the same haircuts, and similar facepaint.

[3Reese3]

the size of these guyz....jeez

[bettydaw1970]

these guys were a steroid dealers dream!!!

[mkl62]

I saw The Barbarian in March 2005 in Greenwood, SC. He teamed up with Demolition Ax (Bill Eadie) and was managed by The Desparado. They defeated Buff Bagwell and The Shooter.

[mikeyboy7777777]

man don't like the six man tag titles they look stupid and a tag team is a team of 2 else it's a stable so this confuses me but I will just keep it at 2 title belts cuz these have been abandoned

[crookedong]

was this in the awa ?

[jammerjmc]

No, this was Jim Crockett's old NWA Mid Atlantic from the mid to late 1980's. The Powers of Pain would later move to the WWF around 1989 - 90 to primarily job to Vince McMahon's Road Warrior clones, Demolition.

[terryfink]

the warlords only about 25 years old there... crazy...

[BigGoldenWolf]

WHAT?? 25 YEARS!!

[CPR33]

Ivan Koloff was pure gold on the microphone.

[nothumbs24]

man that was the good days when wrestling was awsome you dont see wrestlers that big anymore just like the headbangersball back in the 80s it was awsome also lata all !!!!!!!!!!!!

[danos1011]

Barbarian and Animal looked like twins!!!

[nightvisionmonocular]

I was at a gym in the Phila area when these two guys showed up to train. Late 80's era. You have no idea how imposing these two are in person. The TV simply does not do them justice. Nice guys as I recall, but kept to themselves. Major weight moved that day.

[Houseofthe7gayboys]

@nightvisionmonocular what do u mean? Like taking a dump?

[thepaulminator17]

is that the same barbarian from wcw? it doesn't look like him

[SPACEACE76]

Yes,it's the same guy,but by the time he had his second run in WCW he had lost alot of his mass,probably laid off the roids.

[fmataele]

@SPACEACE76 my brother never took steroids, drugs, and he doesn't drink! so get your facts straight, and don't assume. Our family are all naturally tall and big, it is our polynesian side! Don't hate because you would probably have to take steroids to look like him! He worked hard for his physique, look up our ethnicity and then you would understand why we are naturally huge!

[SPACEACE76]

@fmataele Dude,it was just a joke,lighten up man.I wasn't hating,I'm actually a fan,and have been for years.

[EDDYECOYLE]

'the steroids team'

[biggd29]

If it ain't the wafflelord and the bumbarian

[NWpowerhouse85]

The Warlord could've used some more size on his chest, his pecs are dwarfed by his arms.

[nomadicsx]

whatever happened to these guys?

[prairiesix]

Warlord pointed toward Barbarian's crotch and said: "You're Going Down"! LoL! at :30

[jlcochran]

tag teams are tag teams...lol

[hulk90000]

warlord is fucking huge i wanna be that big.

[B44501xRacerEX]

My favorite match ever. Roadwarroirs VS Powers of Pain. So glad I found this rare footage.

[MikeJames6]

Powers of Pain are in great shape today, and if they went to WWE now they would destroy all of the so called tag teams in the WWE.

[ballsnot]

nah, vince would have them lose to london and kendrick or some scrubs like that!

[Infamous256]

Look at the Traps on the Barbarian. What kind of steriods were these guys on in the 80's. DAMN!

[Bizarronumber4]

Road Warriors/Powers of Pain was a classic feud.

[avth76]

Damn the warlord's yummy!!

[oldschooldogy]

I hope you are a woman making a comment like, "The warlord's yummy".

[avth76]

DUH.

[oldschooldogy]

You would be surprised at how many guys make comments like that to some of these videos. If you are a female pardon me Ma'am.

[avth76]

oh i know...i live in california...we have many of those "men".

however, i've been a fan of pro wrestling since i was a kid....one of the few females that followed it from the mid 80s to mid 90s...it's just pure crap now...i don't bother to watch.

[oldschooldogy]

I agree that wrestling is basically crap now, but I've seen a few improvements recently. Every now and then, I still see innovative moves in TNA. It also seems that WWE got the message because I've seen a few innovative moves three too. I believe wrestling will get good again because of the response to steroid deaths. I've noticed that wrestlers are getting smaller. I think smaller wrestlers are better wrestlers. They can do moves that many of the muscle-bond monsters can't.

[avth76]

that's true...the acrobatics are fun...but i really love the gimmicks...and the lame story lines...and the big muscle men....great characters...

[oldschooldogy]

I believe they should bring in more wrestlers from Japan like TNA is doing. The Japanese style of wrestling is faster-paced, and higher risk. I love to see moves that make you cringe and think to yourself, even though this is rehearsed, that had to hurt like hell. I have been watching wrestling since 1982. I started watching wrestling when I was five years old. I miss the Von Erichs, Freebirds, Mr. Wonderful,The Horsemen, The Roadwarriors,etc. This is when wrestling was great.

[Starsky5000]

I was a HUGE wrestling fan in the 1980s & 1990s. But i haven't watched wrestling in over 5 years. The magic is gone. Nothing or no characters today grab me.

[KIMBOSLICE66666]

true dat

[Koolazzmike]

I was in that same boat. But I haven't watched wrestling in over 7 years. These characters today are a joke and predictable.

[Blakkset]

@Starsky5000

I concur. The problem is that wrestling back then was more about creating larger than life personalities and even some kind of mystique. Now its all about degenerative behavior. Even worse still, tag teams aren't even the same! Instead of two guys who really function as a single unit, its just two soloists thrown together for a limited time. Nothing against Vince, but WCW was the greatest to me!

[Jonwood74]

@Starsky5000 When Vince chose to pull back the curtains and reveal "Oz" so to speak it killed wrestling for me. We all knew it was fake. But just like watching a magic show you don't want the Magician to break character. It ruins it. I think Vince was so obsessed with destroying the mystique of the Hulk Hogan character that at the time he was willing to do anything. He showed that Hogan's heroics were staged but in so doing he screwed wrestling. I laugh whenever Vince talks about tradition.

[yolostar]

polka lol

[doubleyoudoubleyouef]

Was that Boris Zukof From the WWF?

[KIKE4762]

NAH PRETTY SURE ITS IVAN KOLLOFF.

[doubleyoudoubleyouef]

Dude looks like him, just asking.

[KIKE4762]

Boris's head was way way bigger . Thing was unnatural! haha

[doubleyoudoubleyouef]

The thing was like the size of Sputnik, Eh?

[KIKE4762]

Yeah it was. Man it was huge though! warlord and Barbarian had huge domes too!

[baliw33]

DJ Bruce Jefferson and Michael Jackson destroyed these 2 clowns and walk out with the titles.

[loganwi104]

"Tag Teams are Tag Teams"...wow, how frickin' insightful...

[mkl62]

That was a promo for The Fantastics (Tommy Rogers & Bobby Fulton).

[dp233332]

how do you find footage of the match between the 2 teams which is referenced during this interview?

[osotoron]

Warlord and Barbarian: Believe in Jesus christ and be saved you and your house (Acts 16:31 Your bible)

[Blackson187]

The Warlord was fuckin huge... jesus christ...

[Beyondward]

you don't really see pro wrestlers nowadays with those kinds of builds.

[spriteastic]

Yeah Funny! Why don't you face Warlord yourself face to face let us have a laugh at your expense!

[mir13e]

Greatest Tag Team ever, with the exception of the Hart Foundation, Demolition, Rockers, Strike Force, Road Warriors, Bushwhackers, Power and Glory, Beverly Brothers, New Age Outlaws, Orient Express, Rock and Roll Express, and perhaps a few more. Otherwise you are right on the nose.

[qcmyoungwill]

Power and Glory? You gotta be shittin me. Paul Roma just called me and said the Barbarian would kick his ass.

[Eakin55]

Lol

[JuliusC1973]

Or as the Road Warriors called them Sorry and Gory.

[Eakin55]

Not just power and glory, Orient Express, Beverly Borthers Come on now I like Pat Tanaka and Mean Mike Enos in all but no way.

[dp233332]

i think youve taken things a bit too far...You have a case with some of them.

[spriteastic]

The greatest tag team ever

[cutlerfan]

Damn. Just look at the size of their necks.

[baliw33]

What title r those?

[bilskie1]

NWA World 6-Man Titles

[dp233332]

what does the 6man mean?

[dirtyfighter34]

barbarian was always bad ass.

[Radiounderground]

I never though either of them got the push they deserved as singlesor a team. Espicially Warlord. What an absolute monster! You can't convince me that guy couldn't have worked as a great indstructable heel that mauls everyone with east till the hero saves the world from him. It could of worked great really./ Barbarian was great to but he atleast got some push over the years.

[SEAWEEDRAVEN]

they still look good

[nickolasjames]

Sometimes I think the NWA over-did it with the number of championships they had

[Chuloloc]

Awesome. I remeber seeing that bench press contest when I was a kid but I never saw LOD get their revenge. I remeber on an NWA program that it was said that LOD put the Powers Of Pain out. In wrestling, that's a Q for the Powers Of Pain going to the WWF. I would like to see that Chicago Street Fight.

[gbrinklow]

I would say I left for more money to if I didnt want otdo scaffold matches. POP = BITCHES

[gbrinklow]

Ymp6466 your a moron the POP left NWA because they were scared to do scaffold matches. the powers of pain were hind sight by the time the warriors got to the wwf as the warlord was getting a singles push to wrestle hogan. Dont post if you dont have your facts straight. the warriors won 80% of the matches with these guys Same old story warriors win POP lose.

[love2lickabbw]

Your both wrong. They left JCP to go to WWF because of money, PERIOD. Vinny mac was offering huge money to get everyone away from JCP. Warriors won 80% of the matches because they were booked that way!

[brethart87]

gbrinklow, you a technically the idiot for saying they were scared of matches, Vince contacted them after the bench press challenge dumbass, I am very best friends with Barb and we just talked bout that the other day, Barb and I own a business believe me I know alot more than u marks!

[gbrinklow]

I thought the warlord was his best friend? Well time has told this story for us The road warriors were the best ever so take yours and barb business and good luck but they just didnt have it. I have found out that my comment was wrong about them leaving because they were scared but they would have been run into the ground anyways if they stayed.

[Exionne]

Even though Warlord & Barbarian were similar to the Road Warriors (RIP Hawk), they still had their unique style. I love WWE, but I miss WCW, and NWA, both organisations should never be forgotten.

[mp6466]

power of pain were originals, don't think they copied the road warriors. they have beaten the road warriors. that is why vince broke the powers of pain in singles to make space for the road warriors in the wwf. road warriors were afraid to fight a tag team that has beaten them before, so they made a deal with vince to come to wwf with the condition to separate powers of pain. besides the lod were aging already just like demolition. vince bring back powers of pain.

[WZ912]

WTF ARE YOU SMOKING!

[xms32]

Sounds like you're just makin shit up and talking out of your ass to me. What were you, about 6 years old the time they wrestled. You don't know dick about any of this. Shut up and sit down.

[jayldavies]

Cheap rip off of the Road Warriors...Nuff said.

[djsleezyc]

Wow I forgot that NWA even had a six man tag team championship until I saw this. That was a long time ago; old school NWA was great back then.

[blaknyte08]

the powers didn't need to be good at promos they had ivan & paul jones,two men good at mic work. at that time,the big men only had to brutalize and besides they were never in the ring for too long anyway.the barbarian had almost as much experience as the RWs and you could see him carrying warlord along. they would have been fine under crockett but they went to vince.nuff said

[steeltownbrown52]

Yeah P.O.P. were mis-used, they were great faces. They had a way better finisher than Demolition(Warlord's running powerslam then Barbarian's diving headbutt). Even when the turned heel they droped their oppening theme. They were'nt that bad as singles superstars either.

[rainxxxx]

i would of loved to see barbarian or warlord take on the ultimate warrier

[alanmercer23]

I actually never knew they were the Powers of Pain outside of the WWF. I thought Vince created the Powers of Pain to be HIS Road Warriors. Thanks for enlightening me.

[JPThunder01]

Same here.. man Vince messed up with these guys. They were over huge as fan favourites in the WWF, ready to take on and beat Demolition who ran roughsod over everyone in the WWF, then right when they start feuding with Demolition they turn heel to help Mr Fuji... LAME!

[alanmercer23]

It was so lame, because even during their entrance for that match where they turned heel at the end, you could hear the crowd was going crazy for him. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

[Timbo914]

I love the old days of wrestling at least they had good tag teams

[miketm7265]

check out my tag team tribute

[pointmocker]

these guys were great as a tag-team...but in single competition, they really were terrible. You could kind of see why they were teamed up. And, they were terible in interviews and the acting gig of wrestling.

[takauthar]

the powers NEVER got their props. this was another awesome concept that promoters phucked up. notice when they left crockett that was the blow that buckled NWA. then vince took arn & tully and that was the KO but it started with P.O.P. then of course vince phucked them up by not promoting them right.dam i hate vince

[herculeswrestler]

Awesome physiques-loved to have seen these 2 in a full nelson trade off

[Grunt6869]

The Powers Of Pain were Awesome

[boulosjn]

great tag team

[bigpaulie68]

Thanks for the post. Have not been able to find much NWA era footage of the Powers of Pain, especially interviews because they would just interview Paul Jones and Ivan Koloff. Warlord is HUGE, especially when you take into account how he looks standing next to the Barbarian who is a big guy.

[badstreetusa]

some good stuff.
