 By the end of 1995 , The American Males were no longer being pushed by WCW ; they competed at Starrcade 1995 in a dark match and defeated The Blue Bloods . Through most of 1996 , they competed in the tag team division with no major storylines and never reached the same heights as when they were champions . They were able to defeat other mid @-@ card teams like the Faces of Fear , and they competed in a dark match prior to Slamboree 1996 , defeating The Shark and Maxx . They were consistently defeated by the company 's top tag teams , and Pro Wrestling Illustrated noted that they were getting lost in a " very deep " tag team division that included The Road Warriors , Public Enemy , Harlem Heat , The Nasty Boys , the Blue Bloods , Lex Luger and Sting , Four Horsemen , The Steiner Brothers , and The Outsiders , among others .
