[1999-12-13-WWF-Raw] HHH & Test vs New Age Outlaws

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Stephanie suggests that the New Age Outlaws work another match and they are hesitant to do it until HHH says Stephanie is the boss now. Stephanie makes the main event of HHH & Test vs New Age Outlaws. Crowd "ooohs" at that's a match with a ton of intrigue after everything that has happened. People were really into this stuff. This post-Russo booking is more fun than most of what Russo did in '99.

 

Test unsurprisingly wrestles most of the match himself and looks good doing it. But he really should have had a PPV main event against HHH. The storyline demanded it. HHH drags Test to his corner for the hot tag then comes in and puts the boots to Test instead while HHH laughs. All three of them beat up Test and Stephanie slaps him in the face. The word "burial" is thrown around loosely. This *is* a Test burial through and through.

I wonder what Test did to deserve this? Seeing JR try to pretend that HHH was going to honestly be HHH's partner was rough.

The writing had been on the wall for poor Test for quite some time--from not getting major revenge on the British Bulldog way back when he clocked Steph with a trash can, to not getting to sub for Austin at Survivor Series, to not trying to do anything after HHH married his fiance, to...this. Again, maybe Test was never going to be a perennial main eventer, but he sure deserved a chance to carry the ball for at least a PPV or two.
