    Haku & Barbarian where a team. Bobby Heenan was their manager & they even have gotten a CAC award recently in 2019 as a tag team. The tag team was called faces of fear in WCW then as Just Haku & Barbarian in WWF. Why they never had a championship run was total BS

    These are two first class pros, Ax and Smash. Andre, the boys and wrestling was everything in his life. Having Haku at the end of his career to take bumps was brilliant for him. Traveling often via airplane, being in airports, is no fun. Being former military I can attest to some of that. I traveled alone most of the time too. Part of that grind was the long 12-15 hour flights in coach. First class is well worth it then. I traveled to Korea, these guys traveled to Japan. Ax talks about traveling to Japan then going back two weeks later. I might have just stayed there to avoid those multiple flights to and from. It makes a huge difference too if you have a chartered plane or can travel on a company plane. Of course Ax and Smash were not that distinguished of stars for that to be provided for them. All sports teams have their own chartered planes now. But if you fly commercially now, you are in the same mode as everyone else. Plan on three hours at the airports, that gets old, and if you do not have direct flights, it's much longer often times. It's a grind, then like in WWE, you show up and you have someone who just cruised in on the company jet, avoided all the crowds, on your butt on how to and what to do for your match. The fun is no longer there to be yourself.

    Haku was certainly an elite fighter. But make no mistake, Andre was far too powerful with immeasurable strength and too big for anyone to handle. I don't care if it's Haku, Harley Race, Dick Slater or Bruiser Brody. They all end up 6ft under at the hands of the giant!
