#4 Faces of Fear

Meng and Barbarian
Meng and Barbarian

During their time in the WWE, both The Barbarian and Meng (then known as Haku) found themselves as members of Bobby Heenan's Heenan Family. While they did team up from time to time in the WWE in the early 90s as fellow members of the stable, it wasn’t until both men signed with WCW that they became a more full time tag team.

Joining up with Kevin Sullivan’s Dungeon of Doom, Meng and The Barbarian would come to be known as the Faces of Fear.

Meng and Barbarian first began teaming together in the WWE

Granted, the Faces of Fear never held the WCW Tag Team Championship or were involved in any great, technical masterpieces. Their most memorable match, and for all the wrong reasons, is probably their participation in the Doomsday Cage Match at Uncensored 1996 where Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage defeated eight men!

But something about this team just worked. Their similar size, strength, and style meshed well together, and they looked believable because they were believable. The Barbarian, and most especially Meng, are renowned in the WWE, and the wrestling world as a whole, as legit tough guys outside of the ring.
