The Faces of Fear

My favourite mid 90's WCW team. Veterans islanders teaming up and busting up craniums. Maybe Haku's best days as a worker (maybe he was better in Montreal as a babyface, I dunno). Should have been tag team champion eleven times instead of chumps like Harlem Heat, the Nasties or Bunkhouse Buck & Dick Slater. Better than pretty much any other islanders team to me (although the original Headshrinkers come the closest I guess), and of course better than the Powers of Pain. Their match at Mania against the Rockers, years before the fact, was terrific too.

Agreed with El-P here completely. I could watch an endless amount of Faces of Fear vs Jobbers matches. Also agree about the Rockers match from Mania. One of my favorite WWE tags ever.

thirding the love for the WM7 match! i just figured i was biased since WM7 was only of the only wrestling tapes we owned for years, but that is such a fun big vs. little match

I'm glad people nominated these guys for all the previous mentions. I'm not sure if they'd make my list, but them being so enjoyable is a huge feather in their cap that isn't in a lot of others.

[Parties]

Aside from the Rockers at Mania (which is very good) - what else do they have in terms of must-watch matches? I'm generally less inclined to vote for teams who were only/mostly good in five minute TV squashes. Unfair to them given that they weren't given the push they probably deserved, but that's life, babe.

there's that random nitro tag vs. eddie & jericho before jericho really became a thing. that's p. much the platonic ideal nitro match

I liked their Starrcade 96 match with Nash and Hall. It opened my eyes to them as a team. Would make my top 25 favorites but I don't know about greatest.

[C.S.]

I loved them too. Possibly the best team in WCW for the few years they were there.

[El-P]

There's also the match against Wrath & Mortis at Fall Brawl 97.

Somehow I remember FoF being a nice time to check on food during PPVs of that era but there's been enough positive feedback here I actually want to see what I think now. Never really loved Barbie but Meng was always fun.
