LOD’s 1997 Tag Title Reign

By Scott Keith on October 23, 2021



One thing that got lost in all the chaos of late WWF 1997, was LOD's short Tag Title reign right before Survivor Series. They made such a big deal of them finally winning the belts back from the Godwinns (After only a 2 day Title reign no less), and then out
of nowhere they lost to the Outlaws and never got back on top again.

Were they supposed to have a long reign? Did they expect to get the belts back from NAO at some point? How much of that whole fiasco was a Russo booking situation rather than what Vince had planned?
They were definitely not planned to have a long reign. It was just done to pop a rating with their name value and BOY HOWDY did that fail. But they did give DX a bit of a rub so there’s that.
