Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for December 16, 1999

In footage from earlier today, Triple H and WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon announce that WWF Chairman Vince McMahon and WWF co-owner Shane McMahon are not here tonight. Triple H says there was concern over last Monday night, but he and Stephanie had to assert themselves. From now on, things will be handled a little bit differently and more fairly. Some people have felt that they have been held down in the past; those people will be given a chance to shine. There are others who have had everything handed to them on a silver platter; tonight, that platter gets taken away. From top to bottom, everybody will be treated fairly. Tonight, Mankind will face Al Snow one-on-one following their problems. Also, The Rock will face Big Show for the WWF Championship. Triple H announces that tonight marks the dawn of a new era: the McMahon-Helmsley Era.

Before the next match, The Big Boss Man says that if people think what he did to Al Snow was bad and what he did to Big Show was cruel, then they should just wait until he deals with everyone else in the World Wrestling Federation. Suddenly, Chris Jericho shows up and tells Boss Man he must be sure his mother once told him not to say anything at all if he can't say anything nice. He then tells Boss Man that if he cannot say something entertainment, then he should shut the hell up, as while he is boring all the Jerichoholics, he is standing in the back waiting to show off his new and improved "Inter-Chris-tinental" belt. Since Boss Man is in the ring with Prince Albert, he might as well destroy them both Ayatollah-style. Shortly after the match starts, however, Chyna and Miss Kitty show up to watch the match from ringside. We then see Triple H and WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon wining and dining backstage while watching the show, and we find out that neither of them booked the current match.

Chris Jericho beats Big Boss Man and Prince Albert in a 2-on-1 handicap match. During the match, Big Boss Man tosses his nightstick to Prince Albert, then Chyna gets in the ring and hits Albert with a low blow. Jericho hits Albert with the nightstick, then hits the Lionsault to get the win. After the match, Triple H says that he can never get into what women are into. When WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon asks what that means, Triple H says it's just an expression, Stephanie decides to head to ringside to check somebody out. That somebody ends up being Kurt Angle (whom Triple H calls "an ostrich jerky salesman," a reference to Angle being a spokesperson for Ostrim, a beef jerky product made out of ostrich meat), who is facing Test. When Triple H hears Test's name, Triple H tries to stop her.

Triple H tells WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon that she is not going anywhere, and that is final. He does not trust Test for a second and he does not know what is capable of. Stephanie says she knows Test, but Triple H says she knows Test too well, and they are going to drink champagne and have a good time. Stephanie says she's going anyway, and Triple H can go drink by himself.

WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon guests on commentary for the next match. She now prefers to go by the name Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley at this point.

We see footage from during the commercial break where medical staff tends to Test. We then see Test on a stretcher, and when WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley confronts Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco for helping tend to Test, not only does Test get angry, but Brisco and Patterson are put in a match against The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn). If they do not take part in the match, they will be fired.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for May 3, 1999

RAW

The show starts with the entrance of The Corporate Ministry. Shane calls them the most omnipotent force in the WWF, and says he will not be held responsible for anything that happens to anybody who gets in their faces. He knows that people are calling him ruthless and saying he has a black heart, and that he has no compassion He draws a line there, because he knows and understands what compassion is for the fans, and that he does not expect the fans to show any for him as none of them can walk in his shoes. He says he has compassion and knows what it is like to live paycheck to paycheck, then drawn one's sorrows in the cheapest vodka from the liquor store every Friday night, hate one's boss, and hate one's wife He says there is a word that compassionate people like him call those people: losers. Shane says he has the looks, money and brainpower, and asks who in the crowd could fathom the power he possesses. Whether it be WWF co-owner Vince McMahon, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin or The Rock, it feels good to seize the power and crush the opposition at any time. He asks who in the crowd who would have "balls the size of grapefruits" to slap their maker in the face, and says not a single person would be able to do it. "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley takes the microphone and addresses The Rock, whom he calls "a crock" and "a big farce," saying The Rock's fate is in his hands at Over The Edge. He says the people call him "The People's Champ," and says it speaks volumes about how the people worship "a piece of crap" just because he can raise an eyebrow, drop an elbow and think of catchphrases and marketing ploys for everybody. He says The Rock keeps singing his songs and doing his comedy routines, but at Over The Edge, there will be nothing funny about how he ends The Rock's career. The Undertaker then takes the microphone and says it is really simple: he hates everyone, but Austin's name is on the top of the list, asking who he thinks he is by trying to be everyone's savior. The Undertaker says he let Austin go his own way and co-exist, but now, he will be the judge, jury and executioner. At Over The Edge, he will take Austin's title, beat Austin like he has never been beaten before, and then carry his carcass over the shoulder and take him to Raw where he will be the ultimate sacrifice to a power even greater than he. He says that Austin will now he is the Lord of Darkness, and there is nothing Austin or anybody else can do about it. Shane tells Austin to remember that he will witness the pinfall first-hand, as he will be the special guest referee for that match and The Undertaker will be WWF Champion. Shane then address WWF co-owner Vince McMahon, telling him he has two hours to get here, because he has his master plan and the last piece of the puzzle. Suddenly, Mankind, Test, Big Show and "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock are on the stage with 2x4s. Mankind says that they worked for The Corporation at one time, and that Shane might as well call them "disgruntled former employees." He then tells Shane that the four of them have banded together to form a union. They may not have a fancy name, but there are a "union of people you oughta respect, son." Mankind then makes initials out of that, and decides to call the group "U.P.Y.O.U.R.S." (The Union of People You OUghta Respect, Son, which is known henceforth as "The Union.") Big Show walks down the ramp, Mankind stops him, and says that while Vince may have been an asshole, but when Vince was running the show, they were at least compensated for their work, and since Shane took over, their paychecks suck. Shane may think he may have their financial future in his hands, but if he messes with them, his testicles will be in theirs. Mankind then leads the charge, and all four men surround the ring. The Union lays waste to The Corporate Ministry. Shane escapes along with The Undertaker and tells The Union they have not seen the last of them, and that they are going down tonight.

"Bad Ass" Billy Gunn beats X-Pac with a low blow to counter the Bronco Buster prior to the Fameasser. After the match, Billy Gunn grabs a steel chair, but "Road Dogg" Jesse James stops Billy Gunn. Gunn and Road Dogg then start brawling, and Road Dogg comes out on top. As Road Dogg checks on X-Pac, Gunn hits Road Dogg with the steel chair. Kane shows up, and Billy Gunn gets out of the ring and Kane gets in. Kane then helps X-Pac to the back.

We hear WWF co-owner Shane McMahon screaming from behind his dressing room, saying that there will be repercussions and that The Union is going down tonight.

The Corporate Ministry shows up again. WWF co-owner Shane McMahon says he has made a few changes to tonight's show, and tells everyone to throw away their show programs and formats. We then go backstage, where WWF co-owner Vince McMahon shows up with Stephanie McMahon and his wife, Linda McMahon. Two police officers flank them. Shane announces that The Big Boss, Viscera and Mideon will face Test in a 3-on-1 handicap match, and also puts Mankind in a hardcore match against The Acolytes (Faarooq and Bradshaw). "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley gets a match against "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock, and Chyna is made the special guest referee after Tripe H whispers in his here. He then tells The Mean Street Posse (Rodney and Pete Gas) that he saw Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco backstage, and puts them in a match against Patterson and Brisco. Shane then announces that Big Show will be in a match against The Undertaker. He also makes an Evening Gown Match between Debra and Sable, with the loser being stripped to their bra and anties. As Vince's party watches from backstage, Triple H gives Shane more ideas. Shane then makes a match between The Rock and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. Triple H says that they should give credit where credit is due, and that they should up the ante on that match. Triple H whispers into his ear again, and Shane makes the match a special Lumberjack Match where the lumberjacks are none other than The Corporate Ministry. Shane then says he has one more slot open, but before he can mention it, Vince McMahon shows up. Stephanie, Linda and the two police officers follow, and Shane is surprised that his mother Linda is here. Vince tells Shane to stop now before he goes too far, but Shane says he has not even begun to go far enough as this is his time and he is running the show. Vince tells Shane that he is about to make a big mistake, and that he should think long and hard before he does. He tells Shane to get his stuff together, as his family is standing behind him. Shane tells Vince that if he wants to bring it, they can have a match, as he has taken his company out from under him and all he has to left to take is his ass. He tells Vince to think about the box office dollars he could be earning with such a match, but Vince is not interested. Vince says that if Shane won't listen to him or Stephanie, maybe he will listen to Linda. Linda doesn't say much before Shane tells her to shut up. Vince grabs Shane by the collar, and Shane dares Vince to have a go at him. Linda and Stephanie leave the ring, as does Vince, but Shane says "I can have him do it again." Shane then reveals he was the mastermind behind Stephanie's kidnapping, and that he did it so that Vince would leave the business and he could pick up the pieces. He even let The Undertaker into their house, which allowed for the pictures to be taken as well as the teddy bear to be taken. He also says he picked out the black dress that Stephanie was forced to wear. Vince runs into the ring, be he is attacked by The Corporate Ministry. After the Ministry leaves, Shane says he takes Vince running into the ring as a "yes." Vince screams back at him "You're damn right!"

Backstage, Linda McMahon, Stephanie McMahon, Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco try to talk WWF co-owner Vince McMahon out of fighting his son, WWF co-owner Shane McMahon. Vince says he will kick Shane's ass, and he asks the policeman to take Linda and Stephanie to a hotel.

Before the next match, Rodney tells Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco to put down the Geritol and come down to the ring and face the music Mean Street style, as they are in the house and they will put them back in the old folks' home.

The Corporate Ministry is seen backstage leaving WWF co-owner Vince McMahon's office, assaulting him on their way out.

WAR ZONE

Before the next match, WWF co-owner Shane McMahon dares his father, WWF co-owner Vince McMahon, not to keep him waiting. He says he knew Vince didn't have the guts to take him on, as he knew he could take him. He says that Vince took his daughter Stephanie McMahon and his wife Linda McMahon and skedaddled, and that Vince could not take him and face the facts that he runs the show now. He says it would please him so much to make his way to the ring, as he wants to annihilate him for the entire world to witness, but unfortunately, that will not happen now. Shane then asks the referee to raise his hand and declare him the winner, but Vince McMahon shows up, grabbing his left rib and obviously in no shape to fight. Vince falls halfway down the ramp, and Shane takes advantage by clothesline him before attacking him while he is down.

After the match, The Undertaker continues to beat up Big Show, telling him that this is his show.

Before the next match, Sable is on the TitanTron. She says she would love to take Shane up on her offer of an Evening Gown Match, but she is at Hugh Hefner's Playboy mansion preparing for the photo shoot for her second Playboy cover. She says that she has a stunt double who will fill in for her, as she does not want to bruise her body. She also tells Debra not to rip her dress. The stunt double ends up being Nicole Bass. Debra wants none of her, and she immediately throws in the towel and takes her dress off. Nicole grabs Debra, but Jeff Jarrett saves the day by smashing a guitar into Nicole Bass' head. Val Venis runs in and sends Jarrett out of the ring, then walks out with Debra as Jarrett gives chase.

We see footage of Jeff Jarrett and Val Venis brawling backstage during the commercial break.

The Lumberjack Match between The Rock and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin ends before it begins when The Corporate Ministry - who make up all the lumberjacks in this match - get in the ring only for Austin and The Rock to clean house. WWF co-owner Shane McMahon shows up before the numbers game catches up to The Rock and Austin, but WWF co-owner Vince McMahon shows up and sends the entire locker room after The Corporate Ministry. The WWF locker room overwhelms The Corporate Ministry, but The Undertaker, "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Chyna end up getting their hands on The Rock. Austin almost saves the day after he comes out from underneath the stage - where he hid moments ago - and through the elevator shaft, but The Undertaker and Austin fight on the shaft as it comes down and smoke comes out. This leaves Triple H and Chyna alone with The Rock, and The Rock ends up fighting back. Austin comes back to get a piece of Triple H, but The Rock is knocked off the stage and into a table below while The Undertaker comes back and fights Austin again. The show ends with The Undertaker tosses Austin off the stage and into another table below.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for May 18, 1998

RAW

WWF owner Vince McMahon, Gerald Brisco and Pat Patterson show up. As a result of Vince's devastating clothesline delivered to "Stone Cold" Steve Austin last week on Raw, Austin has supposedly suffered a mild concussion. Vince calls Austin "a spirited individual," and says he might try to get revenge on him, Brisco or Patterson. He then says that revenge would be nothing compared to the injury he might suffer at their hands, and that therefore, for Austin's protection, has barred Austin from the arena tonight. We then see footage from earlier tonight of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin not being allowed into the building by a security guard whom Austin allows five minutes to reconsider as only Austin himself would allow, telling him they can do this the easy way or the hard way. Vince then introduces Dude Love to the ring as the next WWF Champion. Dude Love finds it ironic that as Austin's reign comes to an end that the Dude only becomes stronger as he looks younger, handsomer and more well-educated every day. He says that May 31st will be a night where dreams come true for everyone, especially for Brisco, Patterson and McMahon when Austin's reign is finally ended, and also especially for himself when he becomes a hardcore legend, the toughest S.O.B. in the WWF and the new WWF Champion. Vince then calls out Dustin Runnels for the burning of his Goldust attire last week, and Runnels shows up. Runnels' right knee is bandaged due to recent surgery. Vince confronts Runnels for blaming everything on him and tells him to take some accountability for his own life and that he gave him an opportunity as Goldust. Vince thinks Runnels wants to prove himself, and gives him an opportunity to prove himself tonight. If Runnels can beat Dude Love in the ring tonight despite having a recently worked-on right knee, he will be the #1 contender for the WWF Championship, but if he loses, he will be working without pay for 30 days. Runnels accepts, saying the sooner the better, and attacks Dude Love. The numbers game quickly catches up to runnels when Brisco and Patterson stomp on him, and referees and officials have to get Dustin Runnels out of the ring.

Jerry "The King" Lawler lets someone cloaked in a blue cloth out of a mini-van. It is not "Stone Cold" Steve Auustin, but reather someone who is sent to take care of Austin. Security checks the man out and lets him in.

After the commercial break, Jerry "The King" Lawler loses the guy in the blue cloak and finds him on a payphone on the WWF Superstar Line.

Val Venis beats 2 Cold Scorpio in his WWF debut with his dive from the top rope known as the Money Shot.

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin approaches the security guard and deals with him the hard way, beating him up for not letting him in. He then makes his way into the arena.

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin makes his way to the ring. He tells the crowd to give him a "hell Yeah," then says he'll crash the party any time he wants to, because if there's a Monday Night Raw, he's going to be there. He says that WWF owner Vince McMahon can pull the strings all he wants, but he's getting more and more pissed off with him every single day. Austin calls out McMahon, Gerald Brisco and Pat Patterson out so they can settle this once and for all, and if they don't show in 30 seconds, he'll tear up every camera they have. McMahon asks Austin who he thinks he is, breaking into "his" arena. Austin says he's the one looking at three jackasses dressed up in suits, and warns Patterson he will stomp a mudhole in his ass and walk it dry if he heads past the stage. He says he wants to talk to all three of them like men and does not want to fight them, and tells them to get in the ring. Vince still wants to fight Austin, and Austin watns them them not to take a step as they don't want a piece of him. Vince says he doesn't go a street fight in a suit like the one he, Brisco and Patterson are weraing, and asks Austin if he wants a street fight against the three of them. Austin then asks the crowd to give him a "Hell Yeah" if they want to see one. Patterson says he wants to take him on, saying Austin is an idiot and that he does not suck as Austin said on commentary two weeks. Brisco also wants a piece of Austin while showing immense loyalty for McMahon. McMahon allows Austin two out of the three of them, to allow for some fairness, but Austin says he'll put knots on all three of them before the night is over. Vince tells Austin he's looking at three musketeers, but Austin tells them they can all screw themselves and that two of them will get their asses whipped regardless of who shows up, and that's the bottom line.

We see another vignette for Edge.

Jerry "The King" Lawler catches his mystery man at the make-up booth.

Sable shows up before the next match, and asks "Marvelous" Marc Mero to come to the ring. She tells him she has been looking back on their relationship lately, and is allowing to let bygones be bygones, and if he can be an adult about it, they can have an amicable split and they can go their separate ways. Mero asks Sable if she wants to leave him, and Sable says yes. Mero tells Sable she forgot one detail. Two years ago, she signed a contract with him, which basically states that she is still his property and tells her to get in his corner "like a good little girl." Sable realizes he won't be an adult and will hold her hostage, and Mero warns her that she will sue her for everything she has and for every cent she's made under him.

WAR ZONE

The intro to War Zone plays to signal the start of the second hour.

Jerry "The King" Lawler heads to the ring with the person in the blue blanket when he comes to the commentary table, and says he has the man in the blanket with him to protect him in case he is jumped at the commentary table.

Before the next match, X-Pac says there are a lot of WWF Superstars looking at the monitor, and says D-Generation X ("Triple H" HUnter Hearst Helmsley, Chyna, X-Pac, "Road Dog" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) "got game." Triple H says he's a hell of a hummer, as he can bang the skin. He tells the ladies that if he's not too enthralled with the show, they can swing around to the back and twirl his stick while he's beating the tom-tom. Road Dogg tells "The Rock" Rocky Maivia and Owen Hart that if he and Billy Gunn are just going to let them have the tag titles, they've got another thing coming, as law around here is DX law, and he who breaks the law goes back to the house of pain. Triple H tells "The Rock" that if he messes with them, it won't be "know your role," instead, it will be "shut your hole." When The Nation of Domination ("The Rock" Rocky Maivia, Owen Hart, D'Lo Brown, Kama Mustafa, "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry) show up, they all go after D-Generation X, and referees and officials have to restore order.

He tells The Undertaker that he was telling the truth about Kane being alive and Kane being his son, and then tells The Undertaker that his mother was "nothing but a damn two-bit whore, and that's the truth." The Undertaker comes out from the back, beats up Paul Bearer, then choke slams Kane before beating up Paul Bearer some more.
