In one of the better "happy accidents" WWE Creative had ever made, the talents formerly known as "The Real Double J" Jesse James and Rockabilly were haphazardly paired together in late 1997, with no plans of importance. To the surprise of everyone, the two bonded and their organic chemistry propelled the New Age Outlaws to become one of the greatest tag team runs ever.

The Road Dogg Jesse James and Badd Ass Billy Gunn were so good together that fans didn't want them to split when each began competing for singles titles in early '99. When Gunn turned on James a month later, the two were then forced to continue their unimpressive solo careers.

Despite a King of the Ring championship and SummerSlam match with The Rock for Billy and multiple singles titles for James, WWE decided the whole was better than the sum of their parts. Less than six months after splitting. the New Age Outlaws were together once again but the damage had been done.
