Feel The Heat - Sunday Night Heat recap for April 18, 1999

WWF co-owner Shane McMahon shows up to start tonight's show. Shane says that all week long, insiders have been saying that he would apologize for his actions last week on Raw, then says they are right. He says that he owes his father WWF Chairman Vince McMahon an apology, as he does not lack compassion and feelings and asks the fans what they would do if they "met their maker" like he did, then says it felt great when he reached out and grabbed that power, saying it felt fabulous. Shane says he is proud of what he did, and says he is "the only McMahon with balls the size of grapefruits." He says that in business, one must do everything they have to do and that nothing can get in the way, and while Vince and his sister Stephanie McMahon have gone through some emotional trauma, it is not his problem, for his priorities are this business and The Corporation, and The Corporation will be the most streamlined, omnipotent force in the history of the World Wrestling Federation. He then addresses "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, saying he is a blue collar worker who likes to get his hands dirty and dive into things, and for that, he is the special guest referee at Backlash. Shane then tells "Stone Cold" Steve Austin that he did not drown in the water, but at Backlash, he will gasp his last breath when he makes the three count and The Rock becomes WWF Champion again, as he is "the toughest S.O.B. in the WWF."

"The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock beats The Corporation (The Big Boss Man and Test) with an ankle lock to Test after The Big Boss Man refuses to let Test tag him in, telling him "You're gonna have to learn the hard way."

Backstage, Lucas interviews X-Pac, saying that Kane has yet to let him down, and is confident that that Kane will show up to the arena tonight.

Backstage, The Big Boss Man and Test are seen arguing, and WWF co-owner Shane McMahon tells The Big Boss Man that he has a match "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock tomorrow night on Raw, then tells Test to get his stuff together.

Tiger Ali Singh shows up. He says that as he looks over "this sea of wasted humanity," he gets the distinct impression that the fans do not like him and think he should be driving a taxi cab, working in a 7-11 or talking in a stereotypical accent due to the way he is dressed.He tells the fans not to hate him for who he is, but to look in the mirror and hate themselves for something they will never be. He says that money is power and that he has plenty of both, then offers $500 in cash to any American woman who will get in the ring, get on her knees and massage his royal feet. Suddenly, PMS (Terri Runnels and Jacqueline) show up, then get down to massage his feet. When Tiger Ali says he will split the money between them, PMS take offense to this and hold Sing down so that a man can come down from the crowd and attack Singh. PMS hold security back, and it is obvious that this man is with PMS.

Jim Ross interviews The Rock, who says that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin makes a big deal about his personal property, calling it "fifteen pounds of metal" that is really "a piece of trash" to him, and says he could care less about Stone Cold's career. He also says he could care less if Stone Cold could swim or not, and says that he has a psychological advantage against Austin, whom he says has "a few pounds of fear" in him after facing him more than anyone else. The Rock says he does not fear Austin, and that he knows Austin like no other. As for the subject of his detractors saying that he cannot beat Austin without WWF co-owner Shane McMahon as special guest referee, The Rock says he does not need anybody to beat Austin, that Shane made himself the special guest referee, and that he could care less who the referee is. He then says that "the trailer park trash fans" behind Austin are the ones questioning his motives. The Rock then says he would do absolutely anything to beat "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, whom he calls "a nothing, a nobody, a peon...an absolute nothing" while calling himself "a man and a half" when told Austin is a man just like him. The Rock then says he plans on becoming WWF Champion for a fourth time and ending Stone Cold's career, and tells Jim Ross to tell Austin that he will not only beat his candy ass, but he will beat him out of the business. The Rock then leaves.

Backstage, X-Pac starts to impatiently look for Kane.

The Brood (Edge, Christian, Gangrel) vs. Mideon and Viscera ends in a no-contest after The Acolytes (Faarooq and Bradshaw) show up and attack The Brood and aid Viscera in hitting Gangrel with a body splash.

Backstage, Lucas interviews Triple H and Chyna. Triple H says that if X-Pac wants to be a man and face him and The Rock alone, then he will give him everything he deserves and tear him apart, then leave just enough of him for Backlash so he can finish him off.

Michael Cole interviews Sable in the ring. Sable says she is such demand these days that she barely has enough time for her beauty sleep, and that it is not easy being a diva. She then says that "Sable Inc." is the hottest stock on Wall Street and that everyone wants a share, and therefore, in the interest of her own safety, she has hired her own personal bodyguard: the world's largest female bodybuilder, Nicole Bass - the large, muscular woman from last week on Raw. Sable then says that if anybody is thinking about a hostile takeover on "Sable, Inc.," they will have to go through Nicole Bass first.

The Corporation (The Rock and Triple H) vs. X-Pac and Kane ends in a no-contest. X-Pac and Kane retain the WWF Tag Team Championships. Kane shows up shortly after the beginning of the match, then Owen Hart and Jeff Jarrett run in and attack Kane. The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) then show up and fight off Owen and Jarrett to make the save for X-Pac and Kane. Afterwards, X-Pac tries to reach out to Kane, telling Kane that he has to trust him before handing him his half of the WWF Tag Team Championships. Kane then raises it up, and the show ends.
