The Warlord in the Hennan family
By Scott Keith on 4 April 2025
Hi Scott,
I
get that The Warlord was paired with Harvey Wippleman to emphasise Terry’ Szopinski's swoll, but 12-year-old me would
have popped huge to see Bobby Heenan manage Warlord.
Why
do you think The Barbarian got the Hennan rub over Warlord? Was the Haku/Barb
team in the cards all along?
And
what is being a ‘Wippleman’ meant to insinuate?
I can see Warlord with Heenan but he had a ceiling either way. Barbarian was definitely better off split away from the POP.
And I’m assuming Wippleman was a reference to Mr Whipple from old person pop culture. Very on point for Vince.
