[1999-10-14-WWF-Smackdown] The Rock & Mankind vs New Age Outlaws

Talk about it here.

Last few minutes. Bill Gunn seems to have raided Steve Austin's ring gear from 1990. Great heat after Rock gets the hot tag. The Hollys interfere, with Crash trying to hit Billy Gunn and hitting Mankind instead. Bob hits his target and Mankind pins Gunn to bring the tag titles back to the Rock & Sock. The storyline here was that Rock had said this would be the end of the line for them, which begs the question of why they went into a title match in the first place.

Another title switch. Why are the Outlaws feuding with the Holly's? Why is Rock stuck in this feud when he should be in the main events with Austin and HHH?

The Rock N Sock Connection regain the title which seems unnecessary. The heat is good for the finishing run but sweat pants Mick in ring is pretty poor. The Holly's getting involved feels like they are being involved into something they don't deserve.

Well, everyone has explained why this storyline doesn't make much sense, but the action is okay at the finish as is the heat. Which makes this a Segment of the Week contender by October of '99 standards.
