Ted DiBiase comes out with Rick and Scott Steiner. He does an interview to turn himself babyface, which just feels weird, but it's my understanding he wanted to turn at the time because of his faith. He has his famous WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION blunder when talking about the tag titles. The Outsiders interrupt with Hall doing the talking. The Steiners are really good, but they're better and the belts provide it. Nash tells DiBiase that he joins the Steiners and he's a dead man, then gets in a crack that the only reason they picked him up is to have someone to read menus while they are on the road. DiBiase promises new tag team champions and makes a big deal out of saying WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING.

DiBiase's promo was pretty decent until the fuck up, which was quite funny. But he was done the day Uncle Eric took his role in the nWo. DiBiase had been pretty good at first, better than during his ill-fated WWF run as a manager, but really never accomplished much. And turning face and joinning the Steiner came from nowhere and really felt like a nothing news. Plus the Steiners/Outsiders feud had overstayed its welcome.

Ted throws one last hail mary pass for relevance. The era of managers--particularly babyface ones--was past at this point. Not a change for the better, but a fact. You'd think they'd let the Steiners say *something* since they're in Detroit, but DiBiase does all the talking. I forget when the titles actually switched but Road Wild would be past time for this chase to end for good.
