The Twin Towers was the name of a heel professional wrestling tag-team that competed in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) from 1988 to 1990, consisting of Akeem and The Big Bossman.
The Towers had before feuded with each other when the Big Bossman when known as Big Bubba Rogers and Akeem when known as the One Man Gang in the Universal Wrestling Federation (UWF) when Rogers defeated Gang to win the UWF World Heavyweight Championship. This happened when Skandor Akbar who was managing Gang then deviously pitted Gang against Rogers who Akbar was also managing, for the UWF championship, Rogers then defeated Gang to win the title, and after Akbar then dumped Gang and continued to manage Rogers.
Shortly after losing the UWF championship, Gang left the UWF and joined the WWF. In late 1988 when Slick was managing the One Man Gang (who had recently become Akeem "The African Dream") as well as the Big Bossman. Slick then paired up Akeem with the Bossman and billed them as the Twin Towers. The Towers would make their pay-per-view debut on November 24, 1988 as at the WWF 1988 Survivor Series captaining a team with Haku, Ted DiBiase, and The Red Rooster against a team captained by the Mega Powers (Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage), Hercules, Koko B.
