The WWE love having controversial title changes at Survivor Series, and five years after the Deadman's huge win, the company saw the crowning of a new champion, a Corporate Champion.

After the title had been vacated, Survivor Series 1998 had a Deadly Games Tournament, a single-round elimination tournament to crown a new champion.

Whilst Mankind was assisted all the way to the finals by Vince McMahon, the sentimental favorite was The Rock, who represented the people, and had opposed McMahon's regime.

Meeting in the finals, it seems the title was assured to Foley until the Brahma Bull locked in the Sharpshooter, and McMahon called for the bell, shades of the Montreal Screwjob a year prior.

Turning his back on the people, this would be the first of eight reigns for the Brahma Bull.
