Andre The Giant and Haku were both members of Bobby Heenan’s stable of wrestlers known as the Heenan Family who were joined together as a team in the latter half of 1989 to form the Colossal Connection. This was mainly done because of Andre’s ailing health, hoping to prolong his career. The Colossal Connection appeared at The 1989 Survivor Series as part of the 4 man team known as ”The Heenan Family (Along with Arn Anderson & Bobby Heenan) The team faced the ”Warriors” a team comprised of the Ultimate Warrior, Jim Neidhart & the Rockers. Andre was quickly counted out in the opening moments of the match while Haku lasted a bit longer but ultimately lost.

After Survivor Series the Colossal Connection challenged the two time WWF Tag Team Champions Demolition winning the titles on December 13, 1989 launching them into a feud with Demolition. Demolition chansed the titles until WrestleMania VI where they regained the titles from Andre & Haku. At WrestleMania Haku and Heenan both turned on Andre, a move that would have turned into a feud if Andre’s deteriorating health had not forced him to retire from the ring shortly after.
