As weird as the sister stuff was I found myself legit entertained by Kenny Boy and his antics the face he makes whenever he put the ankle lock on someone always makes me laugh without fail
I love Shamrock, but he arrived at the absolute worst time. He shows up two years earlier and he takes advantage of a fallow main event scene. He shows up two years later and MMA is a little more mainstream and he has excellent dance partners in Benoit, Angle, etc.
Who would have thought a channel that is covering some childhood nostalgia would help me through a really hard week? I've been watching for several years now, and every episode of RtW is impeccable. Thank you for this. (My wife passed away last Sunday, and I'm having to make all the necessary preparations.)
As I said in a previous video, I was in the hospital during this week following spinal fusion surgery. I was watching Heat and tried to convince my nurse to order this PPV. The next day, I used the internet in their library and glad I missed it. At least I got to see the Raw after from home. This month in wrestling is so vivid in my memory after all these years. It was therapeutic for me. ESPECIALLY when Austin won the WWE title back the night after. I got to watch the next three PPVs with my friends, it helped take my mind off the pain. Thanks for the trip!
I heard the storyline was going to reveal that The Big Boss Man was raising/lowering the briefcase. As there was a ban on Coroprate Ministry interference they "kicked" the Bossman out of the group
IIRC they did soft announce it on TV, not sure if it was on Raw or Heat but I think it was a small throwaway line like "Bossman obviously back in Vinces good books after that stunt he pulled" That's what I've heard at least, if it is on Raw it'll be interesting to see if it's picked up in next weeks upload.
"It's me, Austin!" as iconic as it is, was absolutely the shark jumping moment. as Corny has said about the Attitude Era, how do you follow any of this? you've booked yourself into a corner. personally, I'd have pushed Blackman, using his participation here as a jumping point, make him turn on Vince in a week, and keep the heat on him and Austin, once Austin got the title back. pushing Shane and Vince again here is no different than Bischoff and Russo constantly putting themselves over.
Very amusing how WCW & WWF both had "mystery assailant" storylines at the same time that were never truly, 100% answered. WCW had "Who drove the White Hummer?!" & WWF had "Who pulled up the briefcase at KOTR '99?!", and while both had likely answers (Hulk Hogan & Big Boss Man, respectively) neither promotion ever bit the bullet & gave a definitive finale. Just such a weird thing to do from both sides.
@@iamdb1990 Yeah. It happens after RTC is formed & Bull Buchanan costs Mr. ASS a win against RTC leader Steven Richards to give RTC an actual win that results in Billy G. having to change his gimmick alongside his now cut-short hairstyle.
I don't know if this is true but Chyna did break 2 records this night. 1 she became the 1st ever female to enter The King Of The Ring and 2 Her match with Road Dogg was the longest wrestling match a Female Wrestler had in North America for at least 20 years until the NXT Era or something like that If that is true *and considering what else she does this year* how can anyone not say 1999 was Chyna best year knocking down all these records for female Wrestlers as a whole
Considering what we know about Steve Blackmans many skills and toughness, your story about him just going to another company to wipe out an entire faction by himself isn't really unbelievable lol. Makes me wish that reality show pilot where he was a bounty hunter had been picked up, I would have watched many seasons of that.
They were really trying to make Billy Gunn into a big star at this time. I remember the build to the KOTR tournament on how they were talking about how important winning KOTR was often showcasing Austin's '96 KOTR win as an example. Billy Gunn's push however went nowhere. After a disastrous feud with the Rock he'd get put back into tag team wrestling reunited with the Road Dogg and reforming the New Age Outlaws.
Yeah The 98 and 99 KOTR didn't really help elevate stars like Shamrock and Billy Gunn but the next 3 years Help elevate Kurt Angle Edge (before he got hurt) and Brock Lesnar
I heard Shane was actually not going to compete, but when they realized that Texas and Country Music go together, they managed to convince Blackman to follow the original script and put Shane back in, so Austin wouldnt of ended up a stain on the ring mat. They probably realized that, based on Ken's injuries. Anyone else woildve died, but since he lived but had internal injuries, Austin was in jeopardy if Blackman did that match. Totally true story!
@@michaelsinger4638 It was a product of it's time, Late 90's was full of this type of TV and WWE were smart to take advantage but it's not good in hindsight.
Hard to believe only a couple of months away from Taker taking time off for some surgery that would shelf him for several months. But just before his hiatus we get to see a small preview of his next persona and boy did it pay off when he returned in May 2000.
I've only just realised the 6:32 on Shane's shirt is double 3:16. Was there ever a promo where it was referenced? I assume it's because of the two on one handicap.
I like that ministry remixed with the No Chance in Hell theme. This was the PPV we first hear the My Time HHH theme. Crazy that Billy won the King of The Ring but his momentum was stopped after that
It’s funny how perceptions differ because KOTR 99 was one of my favourite ppv’s during attitude era and still is. I thought it was good to see MrAss get the push he deserved at the time
This was not a good show but i did enjoy the main event as it was fun and the rock taker match along with chyna vs road dogg. Steve blackman definitely was cold as ice but i dont remember how he turned heel before the king of the ring ppv.
You’re right, but they didn’t do Billy any favours. My memory is a bit hazy and we’ll know soon enough, but I think he goes right into a losing feud with the rock so he was doomed to fail just off that alone.
Esp as it would have had some impact in her/HHH story. perhaps she overcomes some hunter interference in the semi. then stops him from interfering vs the rock. then confrontation prior to the final where HHH shows his true colors either by turning on her or helping her win.
Fully agree a KOTR win for Chyna would have been a great launching pad for her as a singles performer in men’s competition. I am glad Chyna still got her singles push and ended up winning the IC title twice. As for Billy Gunn I think he was the type of mid card talent that could have benefited from a KOTR win. But it didn’t really make much of a difference for Billy Gunn who was never able to get past credible mid card status as a singles performer. I still wish they never got rid of the KOTR tournament. It was always a good launching pad for mid card talent. Although there were a few duds (Mabel, Ken Shamrock and Billy Gunn) but the following 3 KOTR winners were Kurt Angle, Edge and Brock Lesnar all three were helped by winning the KOTR. The previous two winners in 1997 and 1996 were HHH and Austin both benefited from the win.
Awesome to catch these live! Afaik, this time (around mid 99) was the single most successful months of the WWF in history, its so interesting to watch, especially as WCW falls apart.
For some reason the only think I remember from watching this back in 99 was Billy finisher from the turnbuckle. I never seen him do that till that point and I thought it looked awesome.
Yeah Rock and Undertaker never really clicked, at least one on one. Their styles are way too different. I mean, their best encounter was Vengeance '02, but even that had Kurt Angle to boost its quality.
Road Dogg was the MVP on this PPV, and to be honest, if Chyna didn't win, then he should have taken it. He had a lot more charisma than Daddy Ass and could have stood up better against Rock in promo battles.
It was supposed to be The Big Boss Man. He was 'fired' from the Corporate Ministry after he lost to Austin the week before KOTR so he wasn't officially part of the stable anymore and therefore could get involved in the match as it wasn't against the rules. He returned on RAW the night after the pay-per-view with his old theme and everyone thought he'd turned face and gone old school. But he came down to the ring, said "I love you guys" and they accepted him back into the Corporate Ministry.
The start of the Shamrock/Blackman feud, very underrated feud, shame we're near the end of Shamrocks run dreading the Jericho stuff and he mainly appeared on Smackdown for last few weeks of his run
'Taker was having Giant Gonzalez flashbacks during the ether rag spot.
Indeed. And I wonder how Paul Bearer didn't pass out when dosing that rag.
@@Mujangga Studly Paul is far too studly to be affected by chloroform.
Did they ever bring that gimmick back when he feuded with great khali?
@@Mujangga The man literally embalms people for a living. I think he's used to the chemicals.
Man '99 was a rough year for wrestling PPVs, you could tell everything was structured around the weekly shows
How does that make it rough? That boosts ppv buys if your weekly shows are popular
"So it's great to see that he's not dead" comedy gold!
Lmao this made me burst out laughing too
Sad how Shamock's WWF career is starting to wind down. Dude had so much potential. He was one of my favorites.
Mine too he is in my boy stable.

Fear the power of the Mufugg
"Look daddy, he put the Mufugga on him."😂😂😂
Lord above this show is abysmal
WWF Apr - Oct 1999 is a chore to get through, Russo unleashed.
Even most of the PPV recap packages got weaker in quality. See Rock/HHH for Fully Loaded & the 6 Pack Challenge.
Yup. Thankfully the Kreski era is a massive improvement, and we get to enjoy the likes of Jericho and Angle in the midcard too.

I never caught it till now myself
Just thought about that too 😅
This was the first PPV i ever saw as a kid on german Television since they gave it away for free. I still have the vhs Tape
Would have been cool to see Steve Blackman in the main event but he'll have a good rivalry coming up with Ken Shamrock soon.

They should have kept Billy, Dogg, and X-Pac together. Breaking them up really cost him heat. Billy vs. Rock? Nah. DX vs. Rock would have worked.

Austin vs. The McMahons was probably Austin's dream to beat the both of them. This match was hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
Gunn and Kid battled for the tag team title also, in 1995. Gunn pinned Bob Holly to win the titles.
