The Faces of Fear was a

Dungeon of Doom. They appeared on several WCW pay-per-view events but did not receive a push from the promotion and were unsuccessful in their matches for the World Tag Team Championship. The team separated after The Barbarian turned
on Meng in 1998 and they feuded with each other throughout the year. They briefly reunited in 1999 before Barbarian turned on Meng again and the team dissolved.

Career

World Wrestling Federation

The Barbarian and Haku began teaming in the WWF as early as 1990, as they were both managed by

The Hell Raisers for the IWGP Tag Team Championship but were unable to win the belts.[5]

World Championship Wrestling

The Barbarian was reunited with Fifita, who was now wrestling under the

Four Horsemen, another heel stable.[6][7] In a two-versus-eight Doomsday Cage match, Hogan and Randy Savage defeated the Alliance To End Hulkamania.[8]

Two months later, at Slamboree 1996, The Barbarian and Meng were on opposing teams in a "Lethal Lottery" tournament that saw partners supposedly chosen at random.[9] The Barbarian teamed with Diamond Dallas Page (subbing for an injured Bobby Walker) in a victory over Meng and Hugh Morrus.[10] The Faces of Fear were not pushed, and they received few high-profile matches in 1996. They competed at WCW's Hog Wild pay-per-view on August 10, but the match was televised on free WCW programming instead of the pay-per-view broadcast.[11] At this event, they teamed with Kevin Sullivan to defeat Joe Gomez, Jim Powers and Mark Starr.[12]

The relationship between the Dungeon of Doom and the Four Horsemen broke down as a result of Kevin Sullivan's feud with Horsemen member

Scott Hall and Kevin Nash, who were members of another rival heel stable known as the New World Order.[15] Hall and Nash's WCW World Tag Team Championship was on the line, but the Faces of Fear were unable to win the belts, as Nash pinned The Barbarian.[16]

At

Fall Brawl 1997, The Barbarian and Meng faced Wrath and Mortis. Because Wrath and Mortis were part of a heel group, WCW had the Faces of Fear compete as faces during the match.[18] Wrath and Mortis won the match, as Wrath pinned Meng for the victory.[19] The Faces of Fear were successful at World War 3 1997, however, when they defeated the team of Glacier and Ernest Miller.[20]

The Faces of Fear eventually disbanded, as Meng

Bobby Duncum, Jr. and the team of Horace Hogan and Brian Adams.[25][27] In the latter match, The Barbarian attacked Meng, which caused the loss and led to the team's permanent dissolution.[18]
