Haku & The Barbarian VS Mr. Fuji & Kato 07.01.1991 MSG

Rare tag team matchup here. From Madison Square Garden, New York.
July 01, 1991.

Haku & The Barbarian (here as members of the Heenan Family, eventually to be known as "The Faces of Fear" in WCW)
VS
The Orient Express: Kato and Mr.Fuji (Fuji filling in for the absent Pat Tanaka)

(They should've done a big Heenan vs Fuji feud. Stable vs stable, heels vs heels)

@abernam What happened was that Mr. Fuji temporarily managed the Barbarian for one night. First time from a long time when he managed him after the powers of pain days. I forgot who barbarian fought against but Mr. Fuji accidently hit him with the cane and Heenan got pissed off at Fuji for it.

Barbarian must of done a thousand shrugs a day, or a thousand pound shrugs a couple a times a week.

@Rayla840 Apparently they had a return match the next month in New York, Bobby Heenan vs Mr Fuji 1 on 1.

Love it!!! Thanks for uploading this!!!!

[Rayla840]

@abernam No feud. It's just that Fuji is wrestling against Heenan's team. So they added that just for the hell of it. Also, maybe to get the crowd to root for one team more than the other since its heel vs heel.

[abernam]

When did the Heenan/ Fuji feud start?

[MadusaWrestling]

Very rare, heel vs heel.. let alone it being Mr Fuji lol
