8 Greatest Double Turns In Wrestling
4. Powers Of Pain Vs. Demolition
Demolition
had been running roughshod over the WWE tag team division during its peak, turning
back the challenges of fan favorites like the British Bulldogs and the Hart
Foundation. Meanwhile, a new monstrous force entered WWE: Warlord and
Barbarian, collectively known as the Powers of Pain.
During a traditional elimination match at Survivor Series 1988, the war ignited. Mr. Fuji betrayed his team, yanking Smash out of the ring (“by accident”) for a countout. Incensed, Demolition beat down Fuji to massive cheers from the crowd.
After they left the ring, the Powers of Pain helped Fuji up and bring him
to their corner, where they celebrated after winning. Demolition returned to
clear them out as Fuji later revealed his motivations: Demolition had grown too
big for their britches while the Powers would be obedient to their master.
