Note: During the show, there were technical difficulties due to the mix of rain and snow in Dayton, Ohio, and only the audio could be heard. After Too Much ("Too Sexy" Brian Christopher and Scott "Too Hot" Taylor) vs. Owen Hart and Jeff Jarrett, last week's episode of Sunday Night Heat was broadcast, with the results of the rest of the current show being available on WWF.com. When the episode was brought to the WWE Network, the episode appeared as intended to be shown with the aforementioned technical difficulties absent.
The show begins with Gillberg heading to the ring for a match only for him and his security team to be attacked by Chyna. Chyna makes her way to the ring, laying out Gillberg and the two men carrying sparklers on the stage before entering the ring and telling "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley - who is in the locker room watching the show with X-Pac - that he has laid his hands on her for the last time. She says that while her time is valuable, Triple H does not add up to the price anymore and that she will finish this one-on-one once and for all. She started this story, and now she plans to end it by knocking Triple H stiff. Triple H tells X-Pac that if Chyna wants her, she's got it.
Backstage, Shane McMahon tells Chyna that she will annihilate "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, and Chyna responds by grabbing Shane by the shirt collar, shoving him against the wall and telling him that she will kill Triple H.
Too Much ("Too Sexy" Brian Christopher and Scott "Too Hot" Taylor) beat Owen Hart and Jeff Jarrett. During the match, D'Lo Brown and Ivory show up, distracting Owen Hart and Debra and allowing The Disciples of Apocalypse (Skull and 8-Ball) to attack Owen as referee Jimmy Korderas is pre-occupied with Jeff Jarrett and Scott Taylor outside of the ring. After the match, D'Lo takes the microphone and says it is not over between them, Debra, Owen and Jarrett, then says Ivory has something to say to Jacqueline. Ivory says that last week, Jacqueline put her hands on D'Lo, and while D'Lo is a gentleman, she is not and she will put her hands on her. Ivory gives Jacqueline two minutes to get in the ring as she takes off her jacket to reveal a purple bustier underneath. After the commercial break, Ivory and D'Lo are still waiting for Jacqueline.

WrestleMania 15 is only four weeks away!
The Blue Meanie is seen feeding Goldust grapes backstage.
The Undertaker quickly beats Kurrgan. After the match, The Ministry of Darkness outnumber and overpower the rest of The Oddities (Golga, Giant Silva, George "The Animal" Steele) in the ring as they try to check on Kurrgan, all while The Undertaker watches. The Undertaker then tells WWF owner Vince McMahon that he was informed that Vince was unable to be here tonight, and says that word will get back to him about the carnage The Ministry they leave here tonight that is a reminder that tomorrow night, he has something in store for Vince. He also tells Vince he will own the WWF just like he owns Vince: mind, body and soul.
Michael Cole interviews Goldust and The Blue Meanie in the ring. Goldust questions Michael Cole's morality when he calls their alliance a "relationship," and when told that he has had an effect on The Blue Meanie, Goldust responds that maybe The Blue Meanie has had an effect on him. He says that The Blue Meanie wants to be like him, as he idolizes him like a son would to his father, and says that while he may not be The Meanie's real father, he "could be his mommy," saying he could care for him and shield him from all of "the evil, angry place in which we live." He then buries Michael Cole's head into his chest as he says that when The Meanie's head is nuzzled deep between his bosom, then and only then, he knows that "his mommy is here," and tells Michael Cole to re-examine his values when Cole says that he is sick. Goldust says that he is not The Blue Meanie's mother yet, but he can already feel the labor pains. Goldust and The Blue Meanie then crawl out of the ring together.
Backstage, Michael Cole interviews "The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman, who is in a Kendo Stick Match against Droz tomorrow night on Raw. He questions Droz's audacity for challenging him to such a match and says he is "The Lethal Weapon" for a reason. He is then attacked from behind by Droz with a Kendo stick.
Public Enemy (Johnny Grunge and Flyboy Rocco) beat The Hardy Boyz (Jeff and Matt Hardy) after putting Matt Hardy through a table. At the beginning of the match, The Brood (Gangrel, Edge, Christian) show up on the stage to watch the match from a distance, distracting Public Enemy at the beginning. After the match, The Brood attacks Public Enemy as referees run in to restore order.
Before the next match begins, X-Pac chases Shane McMahon around the ring and into the crowd, distracting "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley and allowing Chyna to land the first blow. As Triple H hits the facebreaker knee smash and goes for the Pedigree, the lights go out and Kane shows up. Triple H lets go of Chyna to confront Kane, but Chyna hits Triple H with the low blow from behind and Kane hits Triple H with two choke slams followed by a Tombstone Piledriver to end the show.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for February 22, 1999
RAW
WWF co-owner Vince McMahon shows up to start tonight's show. He says that tonight is not a night for the weak at heart, and tells those with a squeamish stomach to leave the arena. He also tells the crowd that he hopes they brought their marshmallows, as tonight will be a roast and a roast of human flesh. If The Undertaker wants to threaten him, then he will put him in an Inferno Match against Kane tonight, and somebody is going to fry. He then says that if that is spectacular, there is the WWF Championship match at WrestleMania 15, when The Rock defends the title against "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. He also announces again that the special guest referee for that match will be Paul Wight, whom he introduces. Wight heads to the ring, and Vince welcomes him to the WWF. Wight says that thanks to Vince, he exited Hell's fire and entered Heaven's gate, and says it is very good to do business with him. He says that the WWF will never be the same again, as the money in the bank and the dividends are already paying off, as Austin took a ride through a steel cage and Mankind experienced first-hand "the Big Nasty" as he single-handedly he put the WWF Championship around The Rock's waist for Vince. As far as WrestleMania 15 goes, it will be as easy as 1-2-3. Suddenly, The Rock shows up, and says that his hearing may not be all that great, but wants to know if Wight say that he put the WWF Championship around his waist. Paul Wight boldly says he does, and The Rock asks Vince "Who is this roody-poo?" He asks Paul Wight if he thinks he can just walk onto his show and onto Know Your Role Boulevard, and have the audacity to speak to him in a bold manner, and tells him to know his role and shut his mouth. He calls The Rock "pebble" to shut his mouth or else he will close it with his fist. Vince says The Rock and Paul Wight are just having fun and making jokes and fooling around, but The Rock says "Make jokes, The Rock's ass!" He calls Wight an "overgrown, 500-pound bag of monkey crap" and tells him that he is three seconds away from him laying the smackdown on his candyass. Wight places Vince behind him and argues with The Rock, then Mankind shows up. He says this looks like something that needs a moderator or a referee, and he has the guy for the job: Mr. Socko, who has stripes on on this occasion. He says there is no better way to show to WWF Commissioner "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels he has the guts, the pride and the inner testicular fortitude to step inside the ring at WrestleMania 15 as the second special guest referee than by refereeing his very first match tonight in a match between The Rock and Paul Wight for the WWF Championship. Wight is game for this and ask The Rock "Whaddya say, champ?" and says they could talk about it all night or they can just do it. The Rock says if Wight wants to go one-on-one with him, the only thing he will be doing is checking into the Smackdown Hotel, and he's got him tonight.
The Rock and Paul Wight are seen arguing with each other backstage in The Corporation's locker room.
The debuting Public Enemy (Johnny Grunge and "Flyboy" Rocco Rock) beat The Brood (Gangrel and Edge) by disqualification after Christian gets involved. Public Enemy get out while the getting is good, and are about to bring steel chairs into the ring when the arena goes dark and red lights flash around the arena as The Brood beat Public Enemy up outside of the ring. Not surprisingly, Public Enemy are the recipients of a bloodbath, and they rush to the back after The Brood.
During the break, we see The Brood (Gangrel, Edge, Christian) are disciplined by The Ministry of Darkness with a beatdown outside of the arena.
Val Venis guests on commentary for the next match. During the match, Val Venis admits that he used Ryan Shamrock to get the WWF Intercontinental Championship.
"Bad Ass' Billy Gunn vs. "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock ends in a no-contest. During the match, Val Venis gets up from commentary and tosses Gunn back into the ring. Shamrock notices Venis and attacks him, then all three men go at each others' throats. Referees have to restore order, and Ryan Shamrock shows up. Ken asks Ryan what she is doing, and grabs her and takes her to the back.
WWF co-owner Vince McMahon tries to talk The Rock out of facing "The Big Nasty" Paul Wight in a match for the WWF Championship, but The Rock has his mind made up.
Kevin Kelly interviews Sable, who insists that the fans admire her newfound confidence - which can be read as arrogance - and admire everything she does. She says that she was to die for on Regis and Kathie Lee, then notices her stalker in the crowd and asks her to come down to the ring. She admits she was a little hard on her last week, and asks what her name is. Her name is Tori. She asks Tori what it is about her that she finds so fascinating. Tori says Sable is so beatiful, graceful, athletic and powerful, and adores everything about her. Sable then tells Tori she is pathetic, and that she needs to get a life as she is sick and tired of wanna-bes wanting to live their lives through them. She then says "Hit the road, skank!" Suddenly, Luna Vachon shows up and tells Sable that all women cannot be Sable, and that some women just have to deal with the cards they are dealt, but they don't use people. She says Sable is the WWF Women's Champion only because of her looks. Sable says she doesn't care about "all the women," and says she only cares about the men, and as far as "the card you've been dealt," Luna needs to reshuffle the deck. She then demands her music be played, then hits Luna with the WWF Women's Championship before doing the same to Tori.
WWF co-owner Vince McMahon asks "The Big Nasty" Paul Wight to pull back on his match with The Rock for the WWF Championship, saying he has made a huge impact and will get his shot at the title in time. Wight has made up his mind, saying that he has to put The Rock in his place and become the new figurehead of the Corporation, seeing no problem in having a match with The Rock.
Before the next match, D'Lo Brown tells Owen Hart and Jeff Jarrett that they had better recognize who they pissed off, as they have taken out "Sexual Chocolate" Mark Henry and Debra has taken Ivory out with a guitar, leaving him standing alone. He begs for the two of them to come down to the ring and face them like men. Owen and Jarrett show up with Debra.
Owen Hart and Jeff Jarrett beat D'Lo Brown in a handicap match. During the match, Debra distracts D'Lo as P.M.S. (Terri Runnels and Jacqueline) show up, and Jacqueline hits D'Lo from behind with a drop kick from the top rope, allowing Owen and Jarrett the win. After the match, Owen and Jarrett continue to attack D'Lo and try to take him out as well, but referees show up to stop this.
Mankind, now spray painting stripes on his shirt, pretends to be a referee in the boiler room.
WAR ZONE
Before the next match, WWF co-owner Vince McMahon shows up and says he regrets to inform the crowd that the WWF Championship match between The Rock and "The Big Nasty" Paul Wight will not be happy, and tells Mankind and Mr. Socko to leave the ring. As soon as Vince tells Mankind "Nice try," The Rock shows up and tells Vince to go to the commentary table, as he wants none of what is going to happen. Vince reluctantly heads to the commentary table, then The Rock tells "The Big Nasty" Paul Wight to bring his roody-poo candyass down the ramp so he can put his fist in his mouth and his foot in his ass. Wight shows up, and the match starts, but it is not long before The Rock and Paul Wight both beat up Mankind. Vince laughs on commentary and says Mankind "fell for it again," revealing that this was all a set-up. Vince, The Rock and Wight all celebrate in the ring, and Wight and The Rock hold down Mankind so Vince can hit him with a right hand to the face. The three of them then celebrate on the stage on their way to the back.
During the break, The Corporation celebrate The Rock, "The Big Nasty" Paul Wight and WWF co-owner putting the boots to Mankind backstage.
"The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman beats Droz. During the match, it is announced that Droz is back after a two-week suspension following his recent attack on Kevin Kelly. After the match, Droz attacks Blackman with one of his own glowsticks until referees and officials restore order.
WWF co-owner Vince McMahon is seen telling Kane to promise him that he will make The Undertaker burn in Hell.
The Undertaker says the battle has been joined, and his agents of darkness are poised to unleash his reign of terror in the WWF, all in the name of his master. If WWF co-owner Vince McMahon thought he had problems with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, his problems have just begun, and if he thinks he can eliminate him with an Inferno Match, then he will find out some flames cannot be extinguished and that he is one of them. Vince will realize that he is his worst nightmare, and tonight, he intends on showing him just how serious he is with his threat, and if he likes, Vince can call it "a surprise." The Undertaker says the WWF will be his.
Before the next match, Val Venis says he may not be the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time, but he is most certainly the biggest.
Goldust beats Val Venis. During the match, The Blue Meanie shows up and suddenly attacks Venis from behind as the referee is checking on Goldust. Goldust rolls over and pins Venis to get the win. The Blue Meanie is seen saying "You're welcome," and Goldust sees The Meanie blowing him a kiss.

X-Pac beats Chyna to get a match against Shane McMahon for the WWF European Championship at WrestleMania 15. Before the match, WWF co-owner Shane McMahon tells X-Pac that there is no way he can get past Chyna, much less beat him in another match. X-Pac shows up with "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, and after Chyna hits X-Pac with a low blow, Triple H chases Shane around the ring and back to the back. Chyna goes for a Bronco Buster and misses, then Shane tuns back to the ringside area and X-Pac chases him around the ring as Triple H gets in the ring and hits Chyna with a Pedigree. X-Pac chases after Shane, but sees Chyna is down in the middle of the ring and pins her for the win. After the match, Triple H and X-Pac are on the stage, and Triple H says "One bitch down, one to go!" X-Pac tells Shane he will be seeing him at WrestleMania, and that there is nothing he or his dad Vince McMahon can do about it.
WWF co-owner Vince McMahon shows up with a piece of paper in his hand before the next match. He says that he warned those with a squeamish stomach to leave at the beginning of the show if they did not like the smell of burning flesh, and tells The Undertaker he will get what what he deserves as what comes around, goes around. He says that nobody threatens him, and that The Undertaker will burn in Hell, just like his parents and their home both burned. He then introduces Kane as The Corporation's instrument of destruction, then guests on commentary for the match.
The Undertaker beats Kane in an Inferno match after placing one of Kane's feet on the fire around the ring. During the match, Paul Bearer shows up and brings a black gift box to WWF co-owner Vince McMahon, and tells him to open it. Vince eventually opens it to find a teddy bear inside. An upset Vince throws down the headset and walks away, and takes the teddy bear - at this pointed noted to be symbolic of something - with him. Vince catches up with Paul Bearer, who is at the top of the entrance ramp, and asks him "What are you doing?" After the match, The Undertaker confronts Vince - who repeatedly asks "Why?" - and takes the teddy bear, placing it on the fire. This action brings Vince to his knees as the show ends.

DDP had the honor of protecting his wife Kimberly, but now he has the honor of having Kimberly for 30 days and 30 nights.

Windham says that it is a tad early for a rematch against Benoit and Malenko, as The Four Horsemen ("The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson, Benoit, Steve "Mongo" McMichael, Malenko) have things to take care of.

Vincent is seen dressed up as a "Chicago Bear" (a reference to Steve "Mongo" McMichael) while Scott Hall shows up dressed like "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, making fun of "Anderson" and David Flair. Hollywood Hogan shows up dressed like "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, saying that if Hogan didn't have so much money, control pro wrestling and wasn't the greatest wrestler on the planet, he wouldn't have gotten his brains beat in last night. Hogan proceeds to tear his clothes off much like Flair does and sneezes in his shirt, the vignettes de-evolves into total chaos until Hogan fakes a heart attack.

We go back to the Nitro Party at Berkeley, California, where the Nitro Girls hold a limbo party.
Bobby "The Brain" Heenan is seen holding up his Reader's Award for Announcer of the Year from WCW/nWo Magazine.
Scott Steiner and Buff Bagwell show up. Steiner helps a woman (who is one in a set of twins) into the ring. Scott says Diamond Dallas Page is not coming to the ring, because he put him in the hospital after giving him fair warning that he was not big enough, strong enough or smart enough. DDP had the honor of protecting his wife Kimberly, but now he has the honor of having Kimberly for 30 days and 30 nights. He then says after 30 days and nights of nirvana, she will be calling him "Big Bad Booty Daddy," and while DDP is in the hospital screaming in pain, Kimberly will be on top of him screaming his name. He then focuses on the nWo's goals, saying that he has hurt his brother Rick Steiner and DDP, and if Sting was here, he would hurt him, too. He says that the only person left to go through is Goldberg, and says he is next on his list. He tells Goldberg he's not hard to find, he's just hard, and he will put him in the hospital next to DDP tonight.
Before the next match, Chris Jericho tells Saturn he gave him a chance to redeem himself, but he walked away. He says that Saturn has to be "sick in the head" and demented, and tells him to get out of the dress as neither he, Ralphus or the Jerichoholics like it.
Hugh Morrus beats Chris Jericho. During the match, Ralphus grabs Hugh Morrus' leg as he goes for No Laughing Matter. As the referee is dealing with Ralphus, Saturn shows up as Jericho takes advantage. He rips Ralphus' dress off and tosses him into the ring, and as the ref is distracted with Ralphus, Saturn gets in the ring, hits Jimmy Hart as he is on the apron as he offers him a steel chair to blast Jericho with, and hits Jericho with the Death Valley Driver. Hugh Morrus hits No Laughing Matter and gets the win, and as Saturn leaves, Morrus and Hart confront Saturn for hitting the latter. After Morrus shoves Saturn twice as he tries to leave, Saturn gets in the ring and dares Morrus to get in there with him. Morrus gets in, and both men exchange punches until referees get in the ring to restore order.
We see backstage footage from SuperBrawl IX where Curt Hennig and barry Windham brag about becoming the new WCW World Tag Team Champions. Hennig calls Windham the best tag team partner he ever had as they brag about beating Dean Malenko and "The Crippler" Chris Benoit, who then show up and whip the new tag champs with leather belts.
Before the next match, Kevin Nash - who is wearing Rey Mysterio Jr.'s mask from last night, and says he, Lex Luger and Miss Elizabeth watched footage from last night's match and noticed that Scott Hall showed up and "took a few shortcuts." He says that the nWo represents what is right in professional wrestling as well as for fair play. He knows that Rey went to the WCW Executive Committee and having a match with him tonight, but he declines and offers to hand him his mask back. Rey shows up maskless for the first time in his career, wearing a black and white camouflage hoodie and pants along with black boots, and tells him it's not about the mask anymore. He tells Nash he got what he wanted, and now he wants what he wants: a piece of Nash. Nash tells Rey that if he wants a beating, he will give him one.
Rey Mysterio Jr. beats Kevin Nash after punching his way out of the Jackknife Power Bomb.
We see the world premiere of another music video from Konnan.
Horace Hogan tells Scott Norton and Disco Inferno that he was the leader of the black-and-white nWo while he was gone. Norton hides his skepticism, and shakes his hand.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Curt Hennig and Barry Windham. Curt Hennig says "I told you so," saying that he and Windham would take the tag team titles. He says that Dean Malenko and "The Crippler" Chris Benoit are good, but there is a difference between being good and being great, and he and Windham are great. Windham says that it is a tad early for a rematch against Benoit and Malenko, as The Four Horsemen ("The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson, Benoit, Steve "Mongo" McMichael, Malenko) have things to take care of. Hennig says he and Windham will dictate when the tag team titles are on the line as their names will be on the belt for a long time, and that Benoit and Malenko are not worthy of a rematch.
Scott Norton talks to Hollywood Hogan backstage, telling him that Vincent, Brian Adams and Horace Hogan are all telling him that they are running the black-and-white nWo. Hogan says it is being taken care of and that he has talked to Kevin Nash. He says that the black-and-white nWo needs a leader, and tells Norton that he is the man after the others have dropped the ball. Norton thanks Hogan for the opportunity.
We see another performance by The Nitro Girls.
Before the next match, Ernest "The Cat" Miller comes out to Glacier's entrance set-up, having bought it all from Glacier last over the weekend on WCW Saturday Night. Miller demands his "James Brown music," and does not want to come out to "redneck music." He also demands that the lights be turned back on. He then issues another open challenge, and this time he has someone in mind, Scott Norton, whom he says he whupped two weeks ago. Backstage in the black-and-white nWo locker room, Scott Norton shows up, and Disco Inferno tells Norton that The Cat called him out again. Norton sees him and Onoo start talking about him on the monitor as he is about to tell the rest of the black-and-white nWo that he is the leader, and heads to the ring.
Scott Norton beats Ernest "The Cat" Miller.
Before the next match, Buff Bagwell tells ring announcer Michael Buffer there is room for only one "Buff" in the world, and says that Goldberg is not here. Scott Steiner then issues an open challenge any piece of "white trash" in the building, since he can't beat up Goldberg tonight. Goldberg's music eventually starts playing, and Goldberg shows up.
Goldberg beats Scott Steiner by disqualification. During the match, Buff Bagwell is caught by referee Johnny Boone cutting the cover off a top turnbuckle, and rams Boone's head into it. He removes the cover as Steiner is whipped into the corner, accidentally stunning him. After this, Buff is the recipient of a Spear. As Scott and Buff retreat, Rick Steiner - who has not been seen in some time - shows up and attacks both of them, and joins Goldberg in the ring. The black-and-white nWo show up. Vincent decides to be the leader and sic them on Goldberg, but Vincent is tossed into the ring by the black-and-white nWo and is quickly demolished. The black-and-white nWo retreat.
We see the Nitro Girls Swimsuit Exposé.
Disco Inferno is in the satellite truck. The guy in the truck cannot bring himself to let the nWo pirate the signal, and wants Disco to be the one to press the button.
Tony Schiavone moderates the face-to-face meeting between WCW President "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and David Flair - the first meeting between the two since SuperBrawl IX. Ric Flair's limousine is seen entering the arena when the satellite feed suddenly cuts out. Kevin Nash and Hollywood Hogan are watching from the back as a black-and-white nWo vignette is played featuring David Flair and his girlfriend. Disco Inferno, disguised as "Mean" Gene Okerlund, interviews David Flair, who says he is "the new-and-improved Space Mountain." Nash shows up, disguised as "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson, bringing a cooler with him as he makes references to the nWo's Four Horsemen parody from 1997 involving the word "spot" before opening a beer with a penknife and falling down. Vincent is seen dressed up as a "Chicago Bear" (a reference to Steve "Mongo" McMichael) while Scott Hall shows up dressed like "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, making fun of "Anderson" and David Flair. Hollywood Hogan shows up dressed like "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, saying that if Hogan didn't have so much money, control pro wrestling and wasn't the greatest wrestler on the planet, he wouldn't have gotten his brains beat in last night. Hogan proceeds to tear his clothes off much like Flair does and sneezes in his shirt, the vignettes de-evolves into total chaos until Hogan fakes a heart attack. We then find out the woman's name is Torrie Wilson from Disco Inferno, who then plugs the WCW Hotline. The feed fades to static, and the show ends.

Feel The Heat - Sunday Night Heat recap for February 21, 1999
WWF owner Vince McMahon and Kane show up to start tonight's show, and Vince is seen carrying an envelope with him. Vince says that WrestleMania is in five weeks, and in five weeks, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin will attempt to win the WWF Championship against The Rock, and that Paul Wight will be the special guest referee for the match. Vince tells Austin that there is a price to pay for getting in his face, and that The Undertaker has not learned that yet, saying 'Taker's comments have not fallen under deaf ears even though he was distracted by Austin. He says that The Ministry of Darkness taking over the WWF is a pretty tall order, but he hears The Undertaker loud and clear following the abduction of The Big Boss Man and his son Shane McMahon, the latter being humiliated and made into "an errand boy" by The Undertaker. Vince says he has read the contents of the envelope in his hand, and tells The Undertaker that he does not threaten him like he did, as he will not stand idly by. He then announces that on Raw, The Undertaker will be in an Inferno Match against Kane, saying it will not stop until The Undertaker is set on fire. Vince says the hell that The Undertaker knows will soon seem like Heaven for threatening him like he did, and Kane summons fire that envelopes the ring as Vince tells The Undertaker to burn in Hell.

Afterwards, X-Pac shows up and says he could have sworn that Shane said against any competitors, anytime and anywhere. He entertains kicking his ass right here and now, but proposes they have a match at WrestleMania 15 so the whole world can watch him destroy Shane. Chyna tells X-Pac he does not get to the champ that easily, and if he wants to go through Shane, he'll have to get through her on Raw.

Mankind shows up. He says he feels just a little bit naked coming out without the WWF Championship, and if he is not sure if this is a very good thing. As he laid in his hotel room, he began to think that WrestleMania was his best shot at giving the fans a match they would never forget, and he feels that it has been taken away from him, and at this time next year, he is not sure if he will be around to wrestle. He has begun plans for after he is done wrestling in the WWF, but has nothing on his resume other than get hit in the head with steel chairs for the last fifteen years. Some of his ideas including becoming a mailman (though he feels he does not look good in shorts), a jet pilot (though he does not like the taste of hard liquor) or even going to World Championship Wrestling (although he's not old enough to head there quite yet). However, he knows what to do and where to do it, and says that the main event of WrestleMania 15 is crying for two referees, as he is universally respected and can count to three in four different languages. He then shows the petition that has been in his hand all along and asks for WWF Commissioner "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels to give him the job and the Chatanooga, Tennessee crowd to give him 10,000 signatures so that the fans can send Mankind to WrestleMania.
Viscera vs. The Big Boss Man ends in a no-contest.

Scott Dickinson, now dressed as a referee, is seen entering the ring with Chris Jericho and Ralphus, who are both seen wearing dresses.
Before the next match, Chris Jericho tells Saturn that he looks absolutely ridiculous, and feels embarrassed for all the Jerichoholics who have to see him in a dress. Jericho then calls Saturn a "cross-eyed, cross-dressing freak" and "an embarrassment to me, Ralphus and to all of these people here tonight." He then tells Saturn to take the dress off, because he looks like an idiot. Saturn teases doing that, then goes at it with Jericho.
Chris Jericho beats Saturn by count-out after Saturn gives a Death Valley Driver to both Jericho and referee Scott Dickinson. After that, Saturn leaves, and Jericho gets the win.

Before the next match, Scott Steiner takes a young woman from the crowd and kisses her in the ring. He then says that when he comes to town, all the "hooches" come around. He tells the crowd to remember that if they have a woman he wants, he will take her and there is nothing they can do about it. He then says there is a misunderstanding between himself and Diamond Dallas Page, and that it was not his fault that Kimberly "digs" him.
Scott Steiner beats Diamond Dallas Page with the Steiner Recliner. During the match, Buff Bagwell shows up, and both men unsuccessfully try to fight off DDP before resorting to illicit tactics, such as Buff distracting the ref so Scott Steiner can use a steel chair.

Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for February 15, 1999
It is announced that Kimberly has suffered facial lacerations, a mild concussion and no severe neck damage. She is currently convalescing in a secret location, as Diamond Dallas Page has placed her away from home where nobody can supposedly find her.
We see a performance by The Nitro Girls.
"The Enforcer" Arn Anderson is seen attacking Disco Inferno, and Anderson is arrested and escorted out of the building by security.
Eric Bischoff is now chauffeur for WCW President "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, who reminds Bischoff not to leave as he will be with him at all time.
Jerry Flynn beats Saturn. During the match, suspended referee Scott Dickinson shows up and distracts referee Scott Dickinson. This allows Chris Jericho to show up and try to attack Saturn, who hits him with a T-Bone suplex. The distraction allows Jerry Flynn to hit Saturn with a spin kick to the jaw, giving him a win.
WCW President "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair is seen talking to executives in the limousine. Bischoff is paying attention to what they are saying, then one of the executives closes the divider behind Bischoff to tell Flair that he is doing a good job keeping Bischoff in line. Flair's cellphone goes of as he and the executives are talking about MADtv, Will Sasso and Bret "The Hit Man" Hart, and Flair finds out about "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson being arrested and ejected for attacking Disco Inferno. He says that he told Anderson to stay away from Disco. He tells the other person on the line to do what he can do, and to make sure that this incident does not get out of hand.
WCW President "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair is still talking on the phone. He says that he specifically told "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson not to attack Disco Inferno, and that he wanted Disco taken off the show. Meanwhile, the executives notice that the road is bumpy, and ask Flair if he has been down this road before. Flair opens the divider and asks Eric Bischoff where they are going, and Bischoff says they are taking a detour and that they should make the arena in 20 minutes. The divider is closed again, and Bischoff gets on his own phone and calls somebody, saying that they will be there in 15 minutes and to save a cold one for him.
Blitzkrieg, Psychosis and Juventud Guerrera beat Super Calo, El Dandy and Hector Garza. Before the match, it is announced that Will Sasso of MADtv will face Bret "The Hit Man" Hart in a wrestling match later tonight. During the match, it is reported that Rey Mysterio Jr. was in an altercation with Lex Luger, and that Rey suffered a severe beating.
The woman in the hotel asks for a dry towel, a salad, cake and whipped cream. She then goes back to the shower.
A spotlight is beamed down on WCW President "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair's limousine. A few Hummers are seen behind the limo, and masked men in black approach the limousine. One of the executives has a bad feeling, but Flair tells him it is fine. One of the men in black is Hollywood Hogan, and Flair fights him. The spotlight - obviously from a helicopter - is on Flair and the other masked man, and the Hummers start circling both men as they go at it. Another masked man hits Flair from behind, and several more masked men in black surround and attack Flair. One of them beat Flair with a foreign object, and another carries Hollywood's weight belt. Flair is then whipped with the weight belt.
The Four Horsemen ("The Crippler" Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko) beat Dave Taylor and Fit Finlay to stay alive in the tag team title tournament with a diving headbutt-Texas Cloverleaf double-team to Dave Taylor.
The Nitro Girls are at the commentary table. Tony Schiavone asks them for their reactions on the attack on Kimberly from last week. They are in shock and are trying to stay strong after what happened last week, and miss Kimberly and want to come back soon.
Bret "The Hit Man" Hart beats Will Sasso after Sasso's fellow MADtv star Debra Wilson takes a steel chair away from Bret outside of the ring only to hit Sasso with it while he is down. Bret gets Sasso back into the ring and into the Sharpshooter, and Sasso quickly taps. Bret and Debra hug after the match.
Hollywood Hogan, Kevin Nash and the nWo are seen exiting the Hummers, revealing it was all them who attacked WCW President "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair earlier tonight. They come to the ring through the crowd. Hogan asks the rest of the nWo to head to the back to have a party, then Hogan says he has no reason to worry about SuperBrawl as he brags about the attack on Flair, and says the way it should go down is with him beating Flair in his own hometown. Since he is the man who made wrestling and put it on the map as well as the greatest World champion of all time, he will give Flair one chance at the WCW World Heavyweight Championship, and he will give it to him tonight. Also, since Flair is "in the back putting his make-up on and trying to hide the gray," he is going to be an honoroable man and give him a ten-count before Flair loses by forfeit, and tells Flair to come out and feel the power of the nWo. All of a sudden, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper's music plays, and Piper shows up. He tells Hogan he says what he did to Flair, and that he is tired of him ruling the roost and calling the shots. He tells Hogan he is his reality check, and since he is still acting WCW Commissioner, Hogan is wrestling him tonight and the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. Hogan tells Piper he is going to get it, and the match begins.

Scott Hall then wears Piper's kilt in a mocerky fo Piper's heritage, and gives him the crotch chop before the rest of the nWo stomp on Piper.

He says that with Mongo out of the picture, the Horsemen are on the run. He says he and the rest of the nWo have seen Flair in his sequined robe run into his dressing room and lock himself in to hide from the nWo. Hogan gives Flair another chance to face him for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship, and this time, he gives him a 20-count. Hogan says this will be the last time he beats Flair, then tells referee Randy Anderson to start the count. Suddenly, the man in the pick-up truck shows up at the arena, and the man helps Flair up. Flair grabs an ax handle from the back of the truck, and staggers his way to the ring. Hogan and the rest of the nWo cannot believe it, mocking Flair and saying that he smells like cow paddies.

WCW President "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair is still talking on the phone. He says that he specifically told "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson not to attack Disco Inferno, and that he wanted Disco taken off the show. Meanwhile, the executives notice that the road is bumpy, and ask Flair if he has been down this road before. Flair opens the divider and asks Eric Bischoff where they are going, and Bischoff says they are taking a detour and that they should make the arena in 20 minutes. The divider is closed again, and Bischoff gets on his own phone and calls somebody, saying that they will be there in 15 minutes and to save a cold one for him.

Hollywood Hogan, Kevin Nash and the nWo are seen exiting the Hummers, revealing it was all them who attacked WCW President "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair earlier tonight. They come to the ring through the crowd.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for February 15, 1999
RAW
WWF Commissioner "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels shows up to start tonight's show. He introduces "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and Mankind, who will be facing each other for the WWF Championship at WrestleMania 15. Before Shawn can say much else, however, WWF co-owner Vince McMahon shows up with a bandage on his forehead and his neck in a neck brace. Vince says he stands before everyone tonight a broken and humble man, and tells Austin that he put 12 stitches in his head and threw him off the top of a cage, much to the delight of the crowd, and says he wants to be a better man and start all over, and bury the hatchet. All he wants Austin to do is say that he is sorry. Austin says he can handle that, and says he is sorry...for not beating his ass worse than he beat it. He also asks the crowd to give him a "hell yeah" if they still think he is an asshole. Vince then tells Shawn to do his job and give the people want they want, as Mankind did not win last night and the fans deserve a rematch between The Rock and Mankind for the WWF Championship, and that they deserve it here tonight. Mankind says he feels pretty crappy tonight even by his standards, and wants a week to get ready for the rematch. The Rock shows up, and tells Mankind he doesn't even have seven minutes. For the last five months, he has done what he has said he was going to do, and that is bash Mankind's brains in. Tonight, he wants his rematch, and tells Shawn that he is no more than "a roody-poo candyass," and tells him to know his role make the rematch for tonight. Mankind tells The Rock that he is always talking about testicular fortitude, and tells Shawn he should not have to make the match as his testicles are full of fortitude. He tells The Rock he will see him in the ring tonight. Vince then tells Shawn to make his own kind of match where there has to be a winner, and to make it a Ladder Match. Shawn tells The Rock he's had roles The Rock will never had, and makes a Ladder Match for the WWF Championship between The Rock and Mankind official for tonight. Vince then says there will be a special guest referee in the WWF Championship match at WrestleMania 15, and that man is Paul Wight. Austin flips Paul Wight off as Wight stands on stage.
An inter-gender tag match between the team of Debra and Jeff Jarrett and the team of Ivory and D'Lo Brown ends in an no-contest when Debra and Ivory have a catfight in the ring. After the match, Debra smashes a guitar into the back of Ivory, and Owen Hart shows up and gets a few shots on D'Lo in the corner.
Paul Wight is welcomed into The Corporation in the locker room.
D-Generation X ("Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley and X-Pac) show up. Triple H addresses Chyna, saying she must feel good about herself after last night, and cannot blame her as it is "the first time she has ever been on top of a man." He and X-Pac have a bad taste in their mouth from last night, and demands that Chyna bring Kane to the ring for a rematch. Chyna and Kane show up with WWF co-owner Vince McMahon, asking Triple H if he is out of his mind and announcing that there is no rematch, as Chyna gets the night off for a job well done last night. This gives X-Pac an idea, and proposes "trading one bitch for another bitch" and replacing Chyna in the match with Shane. Shane says everybody knows he can take X-Pac, and Triple H asks if that is a yes. Shane says he has no proper ring attire, and asks Triple H if he is a puss. Shane says that if X-Pac to put the WWF European Championship on the line in the match, and he'll accept.

Gunn checks on her, then Ryan gets in the ring with Val. Venis then says "Whoa...we did this?" and says that last time he checked, the title only goes around one waist. He says it's been real and good, but it hasn't been real good, and dumps Ryan Shamrock, saying there is no more room on the road for her.
Ryan Shamrock is seen talking to "Bad Ass' Billy Gunn when "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock shows up, attacks Billy Gunn and snaps.
The Ministry of Darkness show up. Paul Bearer says that you never hear much from "the fat man" these days unless he has something important to say. He tells everyone to listen up, and tells WWF co-owner Vince McMahon to bring his butt off the pedestal he made for himself and listen to The Undertaker. The Undertaker tells Vince that in time, the WWF will belong to him. One by one, everyone will fall before The Ministry. Last night, The Big Boss Man received a small sample of the power he possesses, and then let him go. Next time, The Boss Man will not be so lucky. The Undertaker then says that The Ministry went to the heart and soul of The Corporation and took him out, and says they can take anyone out who they desire, and that there is nothing Vince can do about it. The Undertaker then says Vince is wondering how he can be so competent and succeed where others have failed, and says he owns the key to Vince's heart and soul. As Vince was preoccupied with his petty obsessions, he amassed an army that will destroy Vince and The Corporation. Each soul they take, will be taken in the name of a power far more powerful than The Undertaker. In that power's name, vision and dream and in The Ministry's destiny, The Undertaker will own the World Wrestling Federation. Suddenly, The Big Boss Man shows up, and says that if The Undertaker wants a piece of him, he is not hard to find. If The Undertaker has aspiration of taking over and he has the guts, they can get it started tonight. He challenges The Ministry to a six-man tag team match tonight, and tells The Undertaker it is just a matter of time before he "stick[s] his foot up his dead ass."

Holly says it is all about him now, and that the Hardcore title is what he is all about, as he is hardcore. He issues a challenge to anybody out there who wants a shot at his championship. All of a sudden, Bart Gunn - who has not been seen since SummerSlam - shows up wanting to know what Holly means by "weak tag team partners," and asks if he forgot about him. Holly says he didn't forget about him, as he was the only man that Bart Gunn could not knock out in the Brawl For All Tournament.

She thanks the fans, saying it would not be possible without them. Suddenly, the stalker that has been seen - and stopped - in the past is stopped by security, but Sable tells the security guard to let her go. The stalker professes her admiration for her, but when she grabs Sable's hand, Sable pulls it away and tells her that she is sick and tired of her harassing her, and that she could never be like her.

At this point, Mankind has gotten back up, and now that he is a former WWF Champion, wants to partake in the beer-drinking, already having a beer in his hand. All three men have a toast and drink a beer, then The Rock tries to attack Austin only to fall victim to both a Stone Cold Stunner and a Mandible Claw. Mankind leaves the ring, and Austin hands The Rock - who is now on the commentary table - another beer before punching him in the face as he drinks it.

Before the next match, Vince McMahon refuses to get in the ring, and "Stone Cold' Steve Austin has to chase him into it to get him in. Once that happens, Vince does what he can to keep Austin from getting back in the cage. Austin falls off the cage wall while trying to climb his way in, and the ref checks on him. Vince leaves the cage and goes after Austin, but it becomes obvious that Austin is playing possum when he hits Vince with a clothesline and starts beating him up outside of the ring, using whatever instruments are at his disposal. The ringside brawl ends up going in and out of the crowd, especially after Vince flips Austin off, which causes Austin to chase him up some stairs. The brawl then returns back to ringside, and Austin slams Vince into the steel cage wall a few times. Austin and Vince eventually climb up to the top of the cage at the same time, and Austin rams Vince's head into the top of the steel cage wall, causing him to drop several feet downwards into the Spanish commentary table, which collapses upon impact. A stretcher has to be brought out for Vince McMahon, who is unable to move after going through the Spanish commentary table, and a neck brace is fitted on Vince. All the while, Austin is in the steel cage, walking around and taking a look at what is happening to Vince. Ring announcer Howard Finkel is about to declare Austin the winner, but Austin takes the microphone, says "that's bullshit," ad says that the guarantees he has not made in this match have yet to be made, that the bell never rang to start to match, and that he was never in the ring with him at the same time at any point between then and now. He says Vince is not losing that easily. Since Vince is still breathing, he asks the crowd to give him a "hell yeah" if they want to see him "finish this can of whoop-ass." Austin then goes after Vince as he is stretchered out of the arena on the gurney, and wheels the gurney over to the ring and runs it into the ring. He then beat him up with the stretcher board a few times before tossing him into the ring and getting him in there with him. The bell is rung. The match begins.
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin beats Vince McMahon in a Steel Cage Match to keep his shot at the WWF Championship at WrestleMania 15.

That man is none other than The Giant, formerly from WCW, referred to by his real name of Paul Wight. Paul Wight throws Austin into a steel cage wall, then Vince screams at Austin. At the behest of Vince, Paul Wight throws AUstin into another steel cage wall, but this time the cage wall gives way and disconnects from the rest of the cage.

The Rock vs. Mankind in a Last Man Standing Match for the WWF Championship ends in a draw. During the match, The Rock sings his own version of Elvis Presley's "Heartbreak Hotel" - entitled "Smackdown Hotel" - only for Mankind to put him in the Mandible Claw while still layind down. As he has him in the hold, Mankind accidentally knocks out referee Earl Hebner and has to revive him. As he revives him, The Rock is able to fight back and hit a DDT. After a double arm DDT into a sttel chair and another application of the Mandible Claw, The Rock counters with a knee to the gut only for Mankind to go for another Mandible Claw. The Rock counters with a Rock Bottom, and both men are down. Both men get up and grab a steel chair, and both men are down again when they hit each other with a steel chair at the same time. Neither man is able to get up before the count, and the match ends in a draw. Referees check on both men as the crowd chants "bullshit." Both men are placed on stretchers, and The Rock is fitted with a neck brace. Both men are then placed in ambulances and taken to the hospital. Mankind retains the WWF Championship.
Before the next match, Vince McMahon refuses to get in the ring, and "Stone Cold' Steve Austin has to chase him into it to get him in. Once that happens, Vince does what he can to keep Austin from getting back in the cage. Austin falls off the cage wall while trying to climb his way in, and the ref checks on him. Vince leaves the cage and goes after Austin, but it becomes obvious that Austin is playing possum when he hits Vince with a clothesline and starts beating him up outside of the ring, using whatever instruments are at his disposal. The ringside brawl ends up going in and out of the crowd, especially after Vince flips Austin off, which causes Austin to chase him up some stairs. The brawl then returns back to ringside, and Austin slams Vince into the steel cage wall a few times. Austin and Vince eventually climb up to the top of the cage at the same time, and Austin rams Vince's head into the top of the steel cage wall, causing him to drop several feet downwards into the Spanish commentary table, which collapses upon impact. A stretcher has to be brought out for Vince McMahon, who is unable to move after going through the Spanish commentary table, and a neck brace is fitted on Vince. All the while, Austin is in the steel cage, walking around and taking a look at what is happening to Vince. Ring announcer Howard Finkel is about to declare Austin the winner, but Austin takes the microphone, says "that's bullshit," ad says that the guarantees he has not made in this match have yet to be made, that the bell never rang to start to match, and that he was never in the ring with him at the same time at any point between then and now. He says Vince is not losing that easily. Since Vince is still breathing, he asks the crowd to give him a "hell yeah" if they want to see him "finish this can of whoop-ass." Austin then goes after Vince as he is stretchered out of the arena on the gurney, and wheels the gurney over to the ring and runs it into the ring. He then beat him up with the stretcher board a few times before tossing him into the ring and getting him in there with him. The bell is rung. The match begins.
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin beats Vince McMahon in a Steel Cage Match to keep his shot at the WWF Championship at WrestleMania 15. During the match, Austin meets all of his guarantees and is mouthing off at Vince after a Stunner when a large man in black comes out from underneath the ring. That man is none other than The Giant, formerly from WCW, referred to by his real name of Paul Wight. Paul Wight throws Austin into a steel cage wall, then Vince screams at Austin. At the behest of Vince, Paul Wight throws AUstin into another steel cage wall, but this time the cage wall gives way and disconnects from the rest of the cage. Austin climbs down and lands on the floor, ending the match. After the match, Paul Wight helps Vince up and helps him to the back as the show ends.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for February 13, 1999
RAW
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin shows up. He says that when WWF co-owner Vince McMahon made the non-title match between himself and Mankind, he counted on them beating the hell out of him. He is all right with that, as he has all the respect in the world for him and that he is one tough son-of-a-bitch. He tells Vince that no matter what happens in the ring, when he gets him in the steel cage, there will be nothing he can do against him except lace up his track shoes and run around the cage, as all he does is think of ways to screw him out of the World Wrestling Federation. Austin tells Vince there is nothing he can do that will get rid of him. He says Vince is the only person standing between him and his shot at the WWF Championship, and it seems he is always so good and giving guarantees as he has a few for him. He can guarantee Vince that he will beat his ass up and down each and every side of the cage, that he will step over his limp carcass and walk right to the title shot at WrestleMania 15, and that there will be a lot of blood shed and it will not be his. This Sunday, Vince's ass is his. Suddenly, Mankind shows up and asks if he heard Austin use the word "bloodshed," as he wants to get near ringside during the steel cage match and get some blood on his new white shirt. He also promises that he intends to be the last man standing in his match against The Rock, before saying that the crowd tonight wants to see somebody get their ass kicked and that someone in going to take one hell of a beating. Mankind then leaves Austin with one last thought: he is the WWF Champion until he is not. Suddenly, The Corporation shows up. The Rock says there is a strong need to set Austin and Mankind's candy asses straight, and tells Mankind that this Sunday, he plans on making his death wish come true by dragging his candy-ass down Know Your Role Boulevard, hanging the right on Jabroni Drive, and instead of checking him into the Smackdown Hotel, he will bash his living brains in. After he does that, when all is said and done, Mankind will realize without a shadow of a doubt why he is the great one, the chosen one, and the best damn WWF Champion there ever was. As for Austin, he lets Vince deal with him. Vince tells Austin that he hopes he heard The Corporation's anthem, as it is titled "No Chance In Hell" and he remembers giving him that precise chance when it came to winning the Royal Rumble match and having his own name announced as the winner of the match. As far as he is concerned, it has such a nice ring to it that he wants to hear it again this Sunday when he beats Austin in this Sunday's cage match, and he is so confident that he will hear his name announced as victor again that he will make Austin even better guarantees. He guarantees Austin that not one member of The Corporation will interfere in the match with him in the cage this Sunday, and if anyone does so even slightly, he will fire the entire Corporation and they will never work for the World Wrestling Federation again. He also guarantees that after the cage match is over, the WWF will never, ever be the same again. He also announces a special guest referee for Austin's match tonight against Mankind: himself.
Debra is seen on-camera backstage, and "Sexual Chocolate" Mark Henry is seen watching Debra from a monitor backstage.
Before the next match, D'Lo Brown knows "Sexual Chocolate" Mark Henry wants Debra, but he wants the tag team champions. He then tells Henry he has someone who will do he wants, when and where he wants it. He brings out a woman named Ivory.
D'Lo Brown beats Jeff Jarrett when Owen Hart distracts the referee only for Ivory to distract Jarrett so D'Lo Brown can hit Sky High. After the match, Ivory and Debra go at it, and both women have to be held back by their respective tag teams.
We see footage from earlier today of Val Venis in the Toronto Skydome Hotel with Ryan Shamrock. Both of them are only wearing a towel as they make out on a bed.
We see a video package of what is going on between "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock and Val Venis.
Val Venis heads to the ring with Ryan Shamrock, where he is interviewed by Kevin Kelly. Venis says he does need to get a rise out of "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock, as he is too busy getting a rise out of Ryan. Before the interview can continue, Ken Shamrock shows up and attacks Val Venis, who eventually attacks referees Tim White and Mike Chioda as Val Venis escapes with Ryan. Referees Earl Hebner and Jimmy Korderas are also attacked, and Korderas is the recipient of an ankle lock.
Ryan Shamrock tends to Val Venis, who says that he will end it between himself and "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock tonight.
Before the next match, a bellhop stands on the apron and tries to hand a blue candy box and blue roses to Goldust. Goldust knocks him off the apron. It is also announced that senior referee Earl Hebner will issue a statement regarding "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock immediately after this match.
Gillberg gets his first-ever win against Goldust. During the match, The Blue Meanie shows up on the TitanTron as "Bluedust," saying Goldust will never forget his name. Gillberg then takes advantage of the distraction by winning the match with a schoolboy pin, but Goldust gets revenge by hitting Gillberg with Shattered Dreams. Suddenly, the arena gets dark and blue lights start flashing. "Bluedust" is then seen behind Goldust, and he attacks Goldust from behind. When the lights come back on, Goldust is covered in light blue paint.
Senior referee Earl Hebner announces that none of his referees will officiate Val Venis vs. "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock this Sunday at St. Valentine's Day Massacre to Shamrock's recent behavior. If a referee is not named, Shamrock will be forced to relinquish the WWF Intercontinental Championship to Val Venis, and will be it.
D-Generation X ("Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, X-Pac, "Road Dogg" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) show up. Triple H says that at St. Valentine's Day Massacre, if Chyna wants to be a man and play in a man's world, then that night is her big chance. The only problem is that she is stepping up to the plate, but she is not carrying a bat, and that she can't even draw a walk because she doesn't have any balls. If Chyna thinks she is his equal, they'll find whose arrow hits the mark this Sunday. X-Pac gets everyone who didn't see Raw last week, saying he slammed the steel cage door into Kane's head and made him bleed like a pig, and tonight, he and Kane will square off tonight and he has no problem with it as he is not afraid of anybody. As fas as WWF co-owner Shane McMahon goes, if Shane thinks he can kick his ass, he tells him "don't sing it, bring it." Road Dogg introduces The New Age Outlaws (Road Dogg, Billy Gunn), then tells Al Snow that there will be no third game for him and "his bodyless bizitch" head, because this Sunday, he will walk a mudhole in his ass and moonwalk it dry. Billy Gunn then takes his jacket off to reveal he is the special guest referee for Val Venis vs. "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock for the WWF Intercontinental Championship at St. Valentine's Day Massacre.
WAR ZONE
Before the next match, special guest referee Vince McMahon declares that the match that eye gouging, weapons, and kicks to the groin are perfectly legal, and tells them to fight each other like "neanderthal animals." Austin asks Vince if somebody is getting their ass kicked, and Vince says that someone is getting their ass kicked. Austin says that he is not getting his ass kicked, and neither is Mankind, and that Vince is the one that is getting his ass kicked. Vince dares Austin to hit him, but Austin tells Vince that he nor Mankind will kick his ass. Instead, it is Mr. Socko. Mankind puts Vince in the Mandible Claw. The Rock gets in the ring, and the rest of The Corporation almost immediately follows suit. Austin and Mankind somehow manage to fight off the entire Corporation and stand tall in the ring.After the commercial break, The Corporation returns. WWF co-owner Vince McMahon says he hopes everyone is satisfied, even though as "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and Mankind think they may have gotten the better of him, but Austin will rue the day not just this Sunday, but in the ring tonight in a match against each and every member of The Corporation and run the gauntlet until someone is pinned.
Mideon guests on commentary for the next match.
The Godfather vs. Viscera ends in a no-contest after Mideon interferes. Mideon and Viscera attack The Godfather, and Viscera hits The Godfather with two splashes.

D-Generation X ("Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, X-Pac, "Road Dogg" Jesse James) and members of The Corporation have to pull Shamrock and Billy Gunn apart.
X-Pac beats Kane by disqualification after Chyna hits X-Pac with a low blow. Chyna and Kane continue to attack X-Pac, and Chyna is about to hit X-Pac with a Pedigree when "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley make the save. Chyna wants a piece of X-Pac and Triple H, but Kane gets Chyna out of the ring and WWF co-owner SHane McMahon shows up, telling her to save it for Sunday.
Al Snow shows up with Head. He says that he has come to the arena tonight to prove a point. He respects "Road Dogg" Jesse James, saying he is tough and hardcore, but he is not the the crown prince of hardcore and the title belongs to him. He plans to take the Hardcore title on Sunday. He says Road Dogg stabbed him in the back, and he is a man of his word. To show how hardcore, he pulls several weapons out from underneath the ring - including a pan full of cookies - and issues an open challenge for a hardcore match. Nobody shows up, but Al Snow rectifies this by having a hardcore match with himself. He hits himself with weapons, smacks his own head into the commentary table and sprays a fire extinguisher into his face and puts himself through a table with a moonsault. Bob Holly shows up, but Al Snow pushes him away twice before hitting him. Bob Holly attacks Al Snow from behind, then sends him into the crowd and brawls with him there before taking the brawl back to ringside. The brawl continues until referees show up to restore order.
Kevin Kelly interviews Droz, who says he does not look or act like a punk in response to Kevin Kelly calling him a punk on Sunday Night Heat, and punches and slaps him. "The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman shows up, rips Droz off Kevin Kelly and shoves him away.
Before the next match, The Rock tells "The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman that unfortunately for him, he will have to kick his roody-poo candyass.

Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for February 8, 1999
We see what happened after Nitro went off the air last week. WCW President "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair demands to know where Eric Bischoff is.
We see the phone conversation between "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson and "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, where David Flair is revealed to be okay and that he will be home first thing in the morning to figure out what Hollywood Hogan is up to.
We see a performance by The Nitro Girls. Diamond Dallas Page lies in wait in case Scott Steiner shows up.
The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) have a gift for Disco Inferno: "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson, down on the floor. Nash and Hall leave after Disco wraps a belt around his fist.
We are at a bar. A woman walks towards the camera and says "I saw you with those guys over there. They are so cool...and you are so fine. I got a limo parked outside...let's go for a ride."
Rey Mysterio Jr. beats Blitzkrieg (whose name is misspelled as "Blitzcrieg") in the latter's Nitro and televised debut.
Kanyon heads back to Raven's mother's home - or one of them, anyway. Raven's mother tells Kanyon that she is concerned about Raven, and asks Kanyon to stay at the home and make sure he doesn't leave as she heads to a board meeting. Kanyon agrees. He meets with Raven, and tells him that a lot of people are worried about him. Raven looks into the camera and says "What a mark!" before chuckling, and tells Kanyon to follow him. Kanyon and Raven head into the garage, where a yellow luxury sports car is parked. Raven says that there is nothing to be depressed about, and when Kanyon asks why they drive around in a "piece of crap," Raven smiles at the camera and says "He don't get it." She says that the "piece of crap" drives his mom crazy. They then get into the sports car (which we learn is a Ferrari) and they drive off.
During the next match, Hollywood Hogan talks to Horace Hogan in the locker room, and asks him to lead the black-and-white nWo, saying that with the two of them in sync, nobody can stop them. He also asks him not to mention this to anybody.
Also during the next match, WCW President "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair makes Eric Bischoff - whose hair is now completely gray - the head custodian of WCW. He commands him to clean the locker room. He also tells head of WCW security Doug Dellinger to make sure Bischoff does not leave, or else Bischoff will be in breach of contract and he will be fired.
Booker T beats Fit Finlay.
Raven and Kanyon head to a bank. Raven signs a check and gets stacks of one-dollar bills worth $2,000 and $10,000 in big bills. Raven and Kanyon bag them up, then Raven says it's time for Kanyon to get a new look.
Eric Bischoff waits on Jimmy Hart to get out of a bathroom stall, and tells him to re-stock the toilet paper in the first stall as well as the paper towels. The Faces of Fear (Meng and The Barbarian) go in and stink up the bathroom so much that Bischoff has to walk away.
Hollywood Hogan talks with Brian Adams. Hollywood tells Brian Adams to take over the black-and-white nWo, even though he has made Horace Hogan the leader. Unlike Horace, however, he does not tell Brian Adams not to tell anyone about this. Hogan then continues to clean the World Heavyweight Championship, and says "I'm gonna make ["The Nature Boy" Ric] Flair eat this belt."
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews WCW President "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair. He is here to tell it like it is, and the only thing he has yet to do in Buffalo, New York is ride a barrel over Niagara Falls. He puts The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) in a match against himself and Steve "Mongo" McMichaels tonight after what happened to "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson, and says it will be a fight, win, lose or draw. As for Hollywood Hogan, he tells him he has two weeks to tell everyone he is "nWo World Heavyweight Champion," as at SuperBrawl IX, he will take him down with a little bit of help. He also tells Bret "The Hit Man" Hart and Scott Hall that Hall has no title shot, and that Hart doesn't have the guts to be part of the company and vacate the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship, as he has a surprise for him. Bret shows up, and Flair tells him he does not have the same deal as Hollywood Hogan does. He then mentions that Bret will defend the title at SuperBrawl IX against a mystery opponent, or else he will be forced to vacate the title tonight. Bret insists that he has a groin injury and that there are doctors who can prove it. Flair doesn't care, and either tells him to accept the match or vacate the title. He also puts Bret in a match tonight against none other than "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, much to the delight of the crowd and the surprise of the commentary team, who have no idea that Piper is here and due to the fact that Piper has not been seen in WCW in months.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Bam Bam Bigelow. Bigelow shows up with a large piece of paper in his hands. Bam Bam Bigelow says he has been infiltrating arenas and having security look out for him for the sole purpose of making Goldberg his. He says he has wrestled in bowling alleys and backyard arenas where Goldberg would not even step foot in, and says he is extreme and hardcore. He tells Goldberg to focus on SuperBrawl IX and get ready for him. We then see that the paper in his hands is an article from USA Today with the headline "Brawler is sickened by animal fights." We then find out it is an article about Goldberg and his stance against animal fighting, and says Goldberg should be focusing only on him and SuperBrawl IX, and says that Goldberg is going down that night. Bam Bam then reads from the article, where it states that Goldberg wants everyone in the WCW locker room to adopt an animal this year. Bam Bam Bigelow says he will take his wife, put a leash around her, walk her once or twice and feed her some Alpo. Goldberg shows up and runs into the ring, and this immediately starts a brawl between Goldberg and Bigelow.

Shortly after this, Piper has Bret in a sleeper when Bret backs Piper into referee Mickey Jay, sandwiching him in the corner. At this point, Will Sasso gets up and cheers for Piper, and also tries to revive referee Mickey Jay as Bret hits Piper with an illegal object. Bret tires to grab the referee, but Will Sasso grabs Mickey Jay by the leg. After a short game of tug-of-war, Sasso lets go of Mickey Jay, and Bret drags Mickey Jay towards the ring only to fall for a schoolboy pin by Roddy Piper, causing Hart to lose the title.

Kanyon heads back to Raven's mother's home - or one of them, anyway. Raven's mother tells Kanyon that she is concerned about Raven, and asks Kanyon to stay at the home and make sure he doesn't leave as she heads to a board meeting. Kanyon agrees. He meets with Raven, and tells him that a lot of people are worried about him. Raven looks into the camera and says "What a mark!" before chuckling, and tells Kanyon to follow him. Kanyon and Raven head into the garage, where a yellow luxury sports car is parked. Raven says that there is nothing to be depressed about, and when Kanyon asks why they drive around in a "piece of crap," Raven smiles at the camera and says "He don't get it." She says that the "piece of crap" drives his mom crazy. They then get into the sports car (which we learn is a Ferrari) and they drive off.
During the next match, Hollywood Hogan talks to Horace Hogan in the locker room, and asks him to lead the black-and-white nWo, saying that with the two of them in sync, nobody can stop them. He also asks him not to mention this to anybody.
Also during the next match, WCW President "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair makes Eric Bischoff - whose hair is now completely gray - the head custodian of WCW. He commands him to clean the locker room.

Eric Bischoff waits on Jimmy Hart to get out of a bathroom stall, and tells him to re-stock the toilet paper in the first stall as well as the paper towels. The Faces of Fear (Meng and The Barbarian) go in and stink up the bathroom so much that Bischoff has to walk away.
Hollywood Hogan talks with Brian Adams. Hollywood tells Brian Adams to take over the black-and-white nWo, even though he has made Horace Hogan the leader. Unlike Horace, however, he does not tell Brian Adams not to tell anyone about this. Hogan then continues to clean the World Heavyweight Championship, and says "I'm gonna make ["The Nature Boy" Ric] Flair eat this belt."
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews WCW President "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair. He is here to tell it like it is, and the only thing he has yet to do in Buffalo, New York is ride a barrel over Niagara Falls. He puts The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) in a match against himself and Steve "Mongo" McMichaels tonight after what happened to "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson, and says it will be a fight, win, lose or draw. As for Hollywood Hogan, he tells him he has two weeks to tell everyone he is "nWo World Heavyweight Champion," as at SuperBrawl IX, he will take him down with a little bit of help. He also tells Bret "The Hit Man" Hart and Scott Hall that Hall has no title shot, and that Hart doesn't have the guts to be part of the company and vacate the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship, as he has a surprise for him. Bret shows up, and Flair tells him he does not have the same deal as Hollywood Hogan does. He then mentions that Bret will defend the title at SuperBrawl IX against a mystery opponent, or else he will be forced to vacate the title tonight. Bret insists that he has a groin injury and that there are doctors who can prove it. Flair doesn't care, and either tells him to accept the match or vacate the title. He also puts Bret in a match tonight against none other than "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, much to the delight of the crowd and the surprise of the commentary team, who have no idea that Piper is here and due to the fact that Piper has not been seen in WCW in months. Bret briefly throws the belt down, then picks it back up and leaves, and tears up a sign that is being held by Will Sasso from MADtv, who is sitting in the front row.
