      No... No they shouldn't have. Honestly I was watching in real time, they were very average as a team, a very poor knock off the Road Warriors and not over in the slightest either as faces or heels. This is blind short sighted post era nostalgia by yourself. Harts, Rockers were far more over and guaranteed money on the house show circuit back in 88 89. Then you had the Brain Busters come along etc. The PoP were by most metrics were giant flops. They were there simply to make the Demos look good and that's what they did. The matches stunk though, including the NWA days big hoss tag teams Vs big hoss tag teams didn't draw, PoP vs the Road Warriors did very disappointing business.

    Great to see Warlord. Powers of Pain were a huge part of my first ever WWF show, Survivor Series 1989, on Million $ Man’s team, and were made to look like absolutely unstoppable monsters! They took out Demolition, beat the s hit out of Jake the Snake and even Hulk Hogan until they were disqualified ha ha! Even as a young kid l didn’t understand why they never did much after that… and if you watch back his matches with Davey Boy Smith at WrestleMania VI and later in 1991, they are an absolute clash of titans, with real wow factor.

      Not at all. Ranked 97 out of 100 tag teams by PWI. Meltzer gave them his worst tag team award once. Not that I think that’s true. I liked Powers of Pain but only a minuscule number of us remember them - of course only a tiny fraction of the population remember or think of any wrestlers from that era. Soon enough we’ll all die and then that will be that.
      Think of all those revered snd remembered tag teams from the 50’s! Oh wait… there aren’t any remembered - outside a few wrestling historisnbn nuts. Lol. Such is life.
