Team Bulldog also built another lightweight, Bombus Bombus, for the Long Beach event in 1999, but it could not compete in either of its matches due to numerous electrical problems.

Fang in the Lightweight Royal Rumble.

Despite not competing in the main tournament, Fang was able to fight in the Lightweight Royal Rumble. In the beginning of the rumble, it was smothered by Tentoumushi but managed to escape after Toe-Crusher attacked it with its hammer. Fang then made its way across the arena where it bit down No Tolerance III's lifting arm and left a mark, before being swallowed by Tentoumushi again. However, it appeared that one of Fang's spikes was stuck on Tentoumushi, after a while Tentoumushi managed to free Fang. Fang was then attacked by The Crusher, pushing it into the spikestrip, this impact caused Fang to have driving problems and eventually it stopped moving. It lost overall to HammerHead.
