Powers of Pain Wrestling at ICP's 2006 GOTJ part 2 (six man tag)


Warlord and the Barbarian (The Powers of Pain) and Mad Man Pondo Vs. Vampiro, Nosawa and Violent J of ICP at the 2006 Gathering of the Juggalos part 2 The Barbarian and The Warlord were put together as a tag team called the Powers of Pain by Ivan Koloff and Paul Jones in the NWA's Jim Crockett Promotions in late 1987. Jones and Koloff put them together to feud with the Road Warriors. They laid the Road Warriors out during a bench press contest between the teams and won the NWA World Six-Man Tag Team Titles (with Koloff) from the Warriors and Dusty Rhodes. They feuded for months and then left the NWA while still champions when they refused to do scaffold matches in which they would have to fall off the scaffold into the ring. They went to the WWF in June 1988 and were faces managed by The Baron and were initially one of the most popular attractions in the federation. They feuded with Demolition (Ax & Smash) for the WWF World Tag Team Titles. They became the heels in the feud when Mr. Fuji turned on Demolition at Survivor Series 1988 and aligned himself with the Powers of Pain. They failed to win the titles and were eventually split up in 1990, with the Barbarian being managed by Bobby Heenan, while the Warlord paired up with the Doctor of Style, Slick. The double turn between them and Demolition was seen to many as the catalyst of their sudden loss of popularity and subsequent push down the card. They won the WWWA Tag Team Titles together on the independent circuit in the early 1990s and teamed as the Super Assassins in masks for Col. Rob Parker in WCW in the 1990s. Juggalo Championship Wrestling (JCW, and formerly known as Juggalo Championshit/Championshxt Wrestling) is an independent professional wrestling promotion run by the rap duo, Insane Clown Posse (Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J). The first event was booked by wrestling referee and 17 year old Brian Gorie and wrestling manager/commentator Dave Prazak. The first JCW event on Dec 19, 1999 sold out St. Andrews Hall in Detroit and was filmed and appeared in stores as JCW Vol. 1. The tape/DVD (produced in Hollywood by Gorie and Russ Redmon aka JCW Wrestler Mr. Meaner/Big Flame) charted as high as #2 on the Billboard Sports and Rec. Top Sellers. After Prazak left in Jan 2000 (over money issues), Gorie planned, promoted, and booked a highly successful 15 city "Strangle Mania Live Tour" that spanned from Detroit to Denver in April and May of 2000. JCW Vol. 2 was filmed during tour stops in both Cleveland and Milwaukee. After the JCW Events in July 2000 at ICP's 1st Gathering of the Juggalos in Novi, Michigan, Gorie (the creative mind behind JCW's success) left JCW and events now only occur during each years Gatherings. Largely founded on graphic stunts and shock value rather than the athletic skills of fundamental professional wrestling, their style was based upon that of backyard wrestling and hardcore-style matches. The promotion lasted several years. One of the major highlights for the company was running an angle on the nationally televised WCW Monday Nitro on August 21, 2000. WCW wrestler Vampiro, who was teamed up with the Insane Clown Posse on camera, brought the JCW title to WCW and proclaimed that it's the only world title that means anything to him. There are also video games loosely based on the promotion called Backyard Wrestling: Don't Try This at Home and Backyard Wrestling 2: There Goes the Neighborhood.
