During this time Akeem & The Big Bossman formed a tag team and called themselves "Twin Towers" and were managed by Slick. Theteam both competed together and alone against theThe Mega Powers (Hogan & Randy Savage). To promote this match, The Twin Towers appeared woth Slick on theArsenio Hall Show . After the Mega Powers broke up, The Twin Towers turned their attention to the tag team division, feuding withthe Rockers , Demolition, and others. AfterWrestleMania the team restarted their feud with Hogan, giving Bossman a WWF Title shot, which he lost. Also at this time they teamed with Andre the Giant losing toJim Duggan and Demolition at SummerSlam 1989.Break up
Later that year The Twin Towers broke up and the Big Boss Man turned
