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.
