What will no doubt go down as the greatest week in the history of the World Wrestling Federation gets underway this Sunday night at 7/6c on USA NETWORK with SUNDAY NIGHT HEAT!
With Badd Ass Billy Gunn set to compete in the Four Corners Elimination Match for the Intercontinental Championship and the Road Dogg scheduled to take on Al Snow and Hardcore Holly for a shot at the Hardcore Title, there was no doubt that the New Age Outlaws were going to have a major impact on WrestleMania XV.
Who would have ever imagined, though, that the decorated tag team would impact the biggest night in sports-entertainment two weeks before it happened!
By defeating Val Venis for the Intercontinental Championship, the Road Dogg earned the right to defend that title in the Four Corners Elimination Match at WrestleMania XV. Whose spot did he take? Well, by winning the Hardcore Title from Hardcore Holly later on that evening, Mr. Ass got himself taken out of the Intercontinental hunt and will be defending the Federations ugliest badge of honor on March 28.
Hold on a minute, though. Just as the events that went down last Monday night changed the look of WrestleMania XV, so too can this weeks HEAT, as each belt will be on the line during the course of the evening. The Road Dogg will make his first Intercontinental Title defense against former champion, Ken Shamrock. And Mr. Ass opponent? The bridesmaid of the Hardcore division, Al Snow.
Shamrock and Snow could be the top two contenders for the titles they will be going after on Sunday Night HEAT
and what if one or both of them comes out victorious? If Mr. Ass is no longer the Hardcore Champion come March 28, will he still want to compete in the Triple Threat Match in Philadelphia or will he turn his attention to the Intercontinental Championship, which he has been after for quite some time? If Road Dogg is unable to defeat the Worlds Most Dangerous Man this Sunday, where will his fate lie for WrestleMania XV? |
