Feel The Heat - Sunday Night Heat recap for January 17, 1999

The Corporation shows up - minus The Rock - to start tonight's show. WWF owner Vince McMahon says he has come out tonight to apologize, as he is man enough to admit that he made a mistake. He says that he has tried to apologize to "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels, but Shawn could not physically meet him face-to-face and Shawn's mentor Jose Lothario did not want to listen. He then introduces The Rock, who shows up, and Vince apologizes for last night, saying he should have never made that match last night between Kane and Mankind for the WWF Championship. The Rock accepts his apology, but asks Vince what he was thinking putting Kane in a match against Mankind for the WWF title in the first place. Kane takes offense, and The Rock proceeds to make fun of him. Vince then announces that Mankind will take on The Big Boss Man in a non-title match tomorrow night, and Mankind will be serving hard time when it is all over. He also tells "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock that he has a present for him: the week off to train, as Royal Rumble is only a week away. As for Shamrock's opponent, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn, however, he will have to face Test in a singles match. Vince then focuses on Chyna, saying anything can happen in the WWF and that she is #30 in the Royal Rumble match. As Vince says that he could have punched her lights out, Shane McMahon and Kevin Kelly receive a message from the producers. Shane gets in the ring as Vince proposes that Chyna face him in an arm wrestling match, and even says that he will be wearing a sweatshirt so that Chyna will not be intimidated. Shane tells Vince that Shawn has called in tomorrow night's main event between Kane and The Rock. The Corporation is livid.

Backstage, WWF owner Vince McMahon tells The Rock that tomorrow night will be great, because Kane is "a retard" and he will do what Vince tells him to do under threat of being returned to a mental institution.

Before the next match, Tiger Ali Singh issues an open challenge to "any American peasant who is stupid enough to stand up for this disgusting and deplorable country." The challenge is answered by Gillberg.

Tiger Ali Singh beats Gillberg after Singh falls on Gillberg during the Jackhammer.

Backstage, Michael Cole interviews "Sexual Chocolate" Mark Henry, who denies that anything happened between him and Chyna.

Backstage, Shane McMahon is seen talking to Luna Vachon.

2 Cold Scorpio beats a reluctant "Sexual Chocolate" Mark Henry. During the match, Chyna shows up and tells Mark Henry that he has 24 hours to make his decision, which distracts Henry to the point that Scorpio wins with a jackknife pin.

Jeff Jarrett and Owen Hart beat The Brood (Gangrel and Edge). During the match, it is announced that "Halftime Heat" will be airing in two weeks during the Super Bowl halftime show. Later on in the match, "Road Dogg" Jesse James rushes out to attack Gangrel in revenge of the blood bath The Brood gave him. Edge tries to win the match on a powerbomb as referees rush into get both men separated, but Owen Hart hits Edge with a drop kick to allow Jarrett to roll up Edge for the win.

Backstage, WWF owner Vince McMahon arm wrestles Gerald Brisco.

Backstage, Michael Cole interviews Goldust, who now has Head dolled up to look just like him. Goldust asks why he does what he does, as his intellect is way below Cole's comprehension and he was in the need for "a little Head."

The Godfather beats Goldust. During the match, one of The Godfather's hos is dragged underneath the ring, then another person in a dress and wig comes out. It is Al Snow dressed as one of The Godfather's hos, and he steals Head from Goldust and runs off. This distraction allows The Godfather to get the win with a schoolboy pin. After the match, Goldust chases after Snow, who cannot run very fast in high heels, and attacks him before stealing Head again.

Backstage, Gerald Brisco and Pat Patterson arm wrestle each other.

WWF owner Vince McMahon and Chyna show up for the arm wrestling match. Before Chyna shows up, Shane McMahon leaves the commentary table to tell Vince that he is a gentleman and that he doesn't have to do this,, but Vince tells Shane he will rip Chyna's arm clean off if he has to. Shane says he has a little better idea and has provided a substitution: Luna Vachon, who is attacked from behind by Sable almost as soon as she shows up. Referees have to separate Sable and Luna on the entrance ramp, then Chyna shows up as scheduled. After a couple of false starts, Chyna wins the arm wrestling match after Gerald Briscoe pushes Pat Patterson into Vince as they argue. Afterwards, Pat Patterson tells Chyna she didn't beat anybody, and that he is a man and he can beat anybody before proposing a wrestling match against him. Gerald Brisco tells her to forget Patterson and to face him in a match tomorrow night. Chyna does one better and takes the challenge against both men at once for Raw to end the show.
