Mr. McMahon isn’t done yet. Thanks to the outside interference of Kane;
the match two weeks ago to name the number one contenders for the Tag Team
Titles was ruled a no-contest, leaving us with no clear-cut team to rightfully
challenge for the gold. So in another one of Mr. McMahon’s rages,
he ordered a Triple Threat Tag
Team Title match for Survivor Series: Deadly Game. On November 15th, from
the sold-out Kiel Center in St. Louis, the New Age Outlaws will be forced
to defend their titles against both the Headbangers and the team of Mark
Henry and D’Lo Brown.
The announcement infuriated the
champs, and who can blame them? The way the rules are set up, it is possible
that we may see the crowning of new World Wrestling Federation Tag Team
Champions without the Outlaws ever having stepped foot inside the ring.
This may sound confusing at first, however it’s quite simple, the first
team to make another team lose via pinfall or
submission will be declared
the winners. This obviously puts the New Age Outlaws in an unenviable position.
The way they see it, they may be walking out of Survivor Series having
watched a match between the Headbangers and Mark Henry and D’Lo Brown.
The Headbangers, on the other
hand, couldn’t have been put in a more ideal
situation. As everybody already
knows, the Headbangers have been trying for
weeks to dethrone the Outlaws.
This time the match’s stipulations might prove to be the edge that the
Headbangers have
been looking for. This match
is as unorthodox as the Headbangers themselves. Come Survivor Series: Deadly
Game, we might be seeing those phony championship belts Mosh and Thrasher
have been parading
around in, be replaced with
the real thing.
Both the Headbangers and the
Outlaws must remember not to overlook the team of Mark Henry and D’Lo Brown.
The two have looked very impressive as of late. Mark Henry is finally showing
his skeptics that he has what it takes to be a major player. And D’Lo Brown
has already worn Federation gold on
two separate occasions. This
may be the sleeper team of this match. The Outlaws and the Headbangers
will undoubtedly be busy dealing with each other. In the meantime Henry
and D’Lo will be looking to catch one of the teams by surprise.
