After Paul Jones and the Powers of Pain came to the National Wrestling Alliance's Jim Crockett Promotions in late 1987, they were joined by Ivan Koloff.

[3] A (legitimate) eye socket injury suffered by Animal at the time was attributed in kayfabe to the Powers of Pain's actions.

Later during their feud, the Powers of Pain won the World Six-Man Tag Team Championship with Ivan Koloff from the Warriors and Dusty Rhodes.

Jones would continue to use the "Powers of Pain" name for his stable in JCP even after Warlord and Barbarian debuted in the WWF under the name, but soon thereafter quietly dropped the name.

[5] Their televised debut was filmed later that evening and screened on the 16 July episode of Superstars where they defeated enhancement talents "Iron" Mike Sharpe and Tony Ulysses.

On 20 February episode of Prime Time Wrestling, Powers of Pain received an opportunity for the Tag Team Championship against Demolition, which they lost via disqualification.

[1] Their final match as The Powers of Pain came on March 25 in Hershey, Pennsylvania when they were defeated by Hulk Hogan and the Big Boss Man, which strangely enough was their first pinfall loss in the WWF.

Although not officially reunited as a tandem, The Warlord and The Barbarian would team again on January 18, 1992 at a house show in Boston, Massachusetts, losing to The New Foundation ("The Rocket" Owen Hart and Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart).

They only had five matches together (two wins over The American Males and The State Patrol and losses to The Nasty Boys[13] and Sting and Lex Luger) before The Warlord left WCW due to injuries and retired in early 1996, while Barbarian stayed and formed The Faces of Fear with former Heenan Family stablemate Haku, who by then went by the name, Meng.
