Formed in the World Wrestling Federation in early 1987 as villains, the team of Ax and Smash, collectively known as Demolition, went on to become three-time WWF World Tag Team Champions. Beginning with the betrayal of Mr. Fiji during the 1988 Survivor Servies, Demolition started their official run as fan favorites until they became villains again with the addition of team member Crush, in the spring of 1990.
Formed in 1987 in the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), the team of The Barbarian and The Warlord, took on the name of the Powers of Pain. Arriving in the World Wrestling Federation in June 1988, the first tag team they faced on a regular basis was Demolition. Originally known as heroic good guys, the Powers of Pain turned into villains with their alliance with Mr. Fuji in November 1988.
The Powers of Pain battled against Demolition in at least a dozen television matches in the WWF that spanned from July 1988 to January 1990.
