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.

As for D-Generation X (X-Pac, "Road Dogg" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn), the name of the group belongs to Triple H. Triple H calls the boos "music to [his] ears," and says that the DX name, logo, music, crotch chop, two words and attitude are all his, and when he got done carrying "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels, he and Chyna picked the rest of the group up - which he refers to as "The 1-2-3 Kid", "The Real Jesse James" and "Rockabilly" - and carried them for twelve months. He says that the rest of the group wanted to be "cool," "big time" and "over," and while he made them "cool" and "big time" and got them "over," they made the DX Army, because without them, it's "Just three little boys running around playing G.I. Joe in their back yard." He then tells DX that if they want a war, then they have come to the right place, because they've got one, and that he will break X-Pac down at Backlash. Shane says that since his father has other things on his mind, it is time for him to take on some newfound responsibility, starting with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.

The Rock tells Austin that he wants and wants, but he wants something, too: the WWF Championship. The Rock then says some people say he is an icon, that some say that he is immortal and that some say that he is already legendary, but he will say that he is without a shadow of a doubt "the best damn WWF champ there ever was." He says that he will take his right hand and commence to kick his roody-poo candy ass at Backlash and guarantees that he will prove to Austin and the millions of his fans exactly why he is "The Great One", and says that the one things Austin will hear is the sickening sound of him shoving his foot in and out of his candy-ass.

He says that the images of this year's WrestleMania will equal, if not surpass, the images of all others; however, there are some who has hoped, dreamed and prayed that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin will become WWF Champion. He says that these people are in for a major disappointment, for there is a new provision in the WWF Championship match in which there will be no disqualifications, The Rock is the better man and a sleeping giant has been awakened following the steel chair shots from Austin to Paul Wight, who will be refereeing the match. Wight tells Austin that all bets are off, and if he wanted his attention, he has got it, and that is not necessarily a good thing. He then clues Austin on what he will do with him by telling Mankind's mother to remember what her son looked like before he left home, because he will come back home looking like it. As for Mankind, he knows that Mankind loves pain, and says that Mankind will love what he has in store for him tonight. He calls Mankind an idiot that he has cut through like grass in order to do his job - protect the WWF Championship and keep it around The Rock's waist - which he will do with extreme prejudice. As for Austin, he is not afraid of rattlesnakes and likes to crush and eviscerate them to make key chains and boots out of them. He tells Austin that he is on his time tonight, and when he walks into the arena, he will find out if he really is the toughest S.O.B. in the WWF or if he is just selling T-shirts by waiting for him at the back door, where he will beat him up, toss him into the ring and have The Rock beat him to keep the WWF Championship. He says this is not the bottom line, but the last word. Vince says there is "no chance in Hell" that Austin will win the WWF Championship tonight.

He says that whether it is throwing punches or throwing fire, Kane will get in his battlefield tonight and he will go down in a blaze of glory. Road Dogg says that in his match, he has "a nut, a slut and ["The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken] Shamrock with his head up his butt." He says that it is like a Steve Gutenberg movie, but instead of "three men and a baby," it is "three men and the D-O-Double G," and he welcomes his opponents to the Dogg House. Billy Gunn says that if Road Dogg thinks he has problems, then he has a Triple Threat Match with "Mr. Rodgers and a goof who talks to a head," and he is fixing to unload a whole lot of "Badd Ass" on them, and it will be long and hard and it will get nasty. X-Pac tells Shane McMahon that he may be the boss' son, but tonight, he will pay some dues that he has never paid in his entire life.

He says that Hell In A Cell is his home and a dangerous place, and tonight, he will make The Undertaker live up to his "Deadman" nickname. The lights then go out, and The Undertaker's voice is heard telling Boss Man that not only is he facing a phenom tonight, but he is also facing an entire movement of darkness and he will be his personal escort through the darkness and straight to Hell, as Boss Man cannot stand between them and he owns the key to his soul. Boss Man is then attacked by The Brood (Gangrel, Edge and Christian), and when the lights come back on, he is covered in blood.

The Corporation (The Rock, Big Boss Man, "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock, Test, Pat Patterson, Gerald Brisco) shows up to start tonight's show. The Rock says that WWF owner Vince McMahon is not here, but he is, and that the WWF Championship is symbolic of being "The Great One;" therefore, he calls all the shots tonight. He then says there has been a lot of questioning about him, then mouths off at Patterson and Brisco for saying he has paranoia towards Big Show, threatening to end Test's career, telling Shamrock he has beaten him "from January to January" and accusing The Big Boss Man of wanting to be him before telling him he cannot do it. The Big Boss Man tells The Rock to be paranoid on his own time, not his, for his time is hard time and he is very close to crossing the line with him. The Rock takes this as a challenge, and threatens to not only cross that line, but he will shove his nightstick up his rectum. Everyone else in The Corporation has to keep The Big Boss Man away from The Rock, much to the chagrin of Shane McMahon, who is on commentary.

Feel The Heat - Sunday Night Heat recap for March 14, 1999

WWF owner Vince McMahon and "The Big Show" Paul Wight show up to start tonight's show. Vince announces that due to incarceration, The Undertaker will not be here tonight; however, those at home can enjoy The Undertaker on Poltergeist: The Legacy immediately after the show on USA Network, and jokes that it could be The Undertaker's future before saying that The Undertaker cannot threaten him and get away with it. As far as The Rock is concerned, The Rock is scheduled to be here and that will have the opportunity to successfully explain the role of Paul Wight in The Corporation to The Rock. He then introduces Mankind to the ring, and Mankind shows up. Vince applauds Mankind on his efforts as of late and says that he keeps his word as far as a WrestleMania opportunity is concerned, then says there is just one more thing that he would like Mankind to do: defeat Paul Wight in one-on-one competition at WrestleMania. He states that the winner of that match will be the undisputed special guest referee in the WWF Championship Match at WrestleMania 15. Mankind tells Vince that he felt bad for him and that maybe Vince had a little bit of heart, but after doing everything Vince has asked him to do, Vince wants to throw a swerve. He says that if a McMahon always stands behind his word, then a Foley always stands behind his sock. Mankind goes for a Mandible Claw on Vince, but Big Show clobbers Mankind from behind.

Mankind is seen in the ring with some referees, which he then attacks. One of the referees is given the Mandible Claw, then Mankind scares Shane McMahon out of the commentary table before stating that he is not waiting until WrestleMania and demanding a match with "The Big Show" Paul Wight tonight or else he will get a piece of WWF owner Vince McMahon. When Test comes out for his match, Mankind attacks him before heading to the back. X-Pac guests on commentary for the next match, but it isn't long before Shane McMahon shows up and slides the WWF European Championship into the ring for Test to use as a weapon. X-Pac chases Shane back to the back, then gets in the ring and fights Test, and Test beats D'Lo Brown by disqualification.

Mankind is seen backstage hunting for "The Big Show" Paul Wight with a steel chair in his hands. Meanwhile, WWF owner Vince McMahon tells Paul Wight to hide from Mankind, despite Paul Wight wanting to fight Mankind backstage. Paul Wight punches a hole in the wall and reluctantly does as Vince says.

Before the next match, Mankind returns to the ring with a steel chair and attacks Al Snow with it. Shane McMahon hides behind Kevin Kelly on commentary as Mankind continues to attack Al Snow. Droz shows up and stomps on Al Snow, but Mankind lays him out with a steel chair before hitting Droz with a double arm DDT onto the chair. Mankind then grabs the microphone and tells WWF owner Vince McMahon they can do this, and that he is even enjoying this just a little bit. However, if "The Big Show" Paul Wight won't come to him, he will come for Paul Wight. Vince and Paul Wight show up on the TitanTron, and Vince tells Mankind to wait until WrestleMania for all the Big Show he wants, and that he shouldn't push his luck. Mankind says he will get Paul Wight, and it will be tonight.

Val Venis and Hardcore Holly beat The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) in mere seconds. After the match, "Road Dogg" Jesse James tells Venis it's not his belt that he wants, but "the ass that holds it up," and his lesson in humility is over as of now after humiliating him on Heat. He then says it is his turn on Raw, then challenges him for the WWF Intercontinental Championship on Raw, anyway. Billy Gunn says that if Road Dogg wants a shot at the Intercontiental Championship, then he challenges Hardcore Holly for the WWF Hardcore Championship on Raw.

Mankind storms the locker room demanding to know where "The Big Show" Paul Wight is before attacking The Hardy Boyz (Jeff and Matt Hardy) and another person. Meanwhile, "The Big Show" Paul Wight says he will show his fist down Mankind's throat and do what WWF owner Vince McMahon paid him to do. Vince tells him he will think about it.

Backstage, Michael Cole interviews Public Enemy (Johnny Grunge and Flyboy Rocco). Rocco says they felt and got the message from The Acolytes (Faarooq and Bradshaw) last week, then he and Johnny Grunge are attacked by The Brood (Gangrel, Edge, Christian) before referees try to break up the attack.

Tiger Ali Singh is in the ring. He calls the fans "egomaniacs" and says that they are so concerned with focusing the attention on themselves that nothing else matters, and says that Jim Ross came to the ring with his black cowboy hat and his "half face" and embarrassed himself in front of a national audience because of his ego, and says it was so ridiculous and ludicrous and yet it entertained him so much that it gave him an idea. He announces that tonight, he will offer $500 to come into the ring and do a Jim Ross impression. He pulls a black cowboy hat out of a shopping bag, then picks out a man in all black to head to the ring. (This man is played by none other than WWF writer Ed Ferrara, who would later do this again with the "Oklahoma" character in World Championship Wrestling.) The man does a spot-on impression of Jim Ross, who shows up with "Dr. Death" Steve Williams. Williams suplexes the man, then hits Tiger Ali Singh with the Doctor Bomb.

After the match, Jim Ross says that he wants to go back to work tomorrow and says that upper management will not move them out of the ring as they have something to say. Tomorrow, they will be at Raw. As Jim Ross speaks, WWF owner Vince McMahon tells "The Big Show" Paul Wight to take his anger out on Jim Ross, and to beat up Mankind if he shows up, too. As Jim Ross says that he will be back on the commentary table sooner rather than later, Big Show shows up and Jim Ross leaves the ring. Suddenly, The Rock shows up, and Vince McMahon shows up as The Rock tells Big Show that he has three seconds to leave before he lays the smack down on him. The Rock then slaps Big Show before punching him, and both The Rock and Big Show fight. Big Show is about to choke slam The Rock when Mankind hits him with a steel chair, but it has little effect and Big Show punches Mankind through the chair before choke slamming him down on it. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin then shows up and contemplates the idea that he and Big Show are in this together before saying there will be no "what if's" at WrestleMania and that he will become the next WWF Champion. All of a sudden, Big Show lifts up the ring while The Rock is still in it to end the show.

The Rock shows up to start tonight's show. He says that at WrestleMania 15, he and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin will be in what will prove to be the most electrifying match in sports entertainment. He says that Austin will go one-on-one with the Great One, and after WrestleMania, he will prove why he is The Great One and Austin is not. He says it is humanly and genetically impossible for him to ever like Austin, as there is a deep-seated heated between him and Austin, and as far as he is concerned, the greatest book ever written is "The Rock vs. Stone Cold," and that the beauty of it is that there are infinite chapters and he will be kicking Austin's monkey ass all over God's green earth. The Rock says that when all is said and done, Austin will thank him for the memories and The Rock will thank him for being "the biggest piece of Texas trailer park trash walking God's blue heaven.

He says that the only thing Americans cherish is cold, hard cash, and tonight, he will offer anyone in attendance $500 to come in the ring and blow their nose in the other item he has brought into the ring: the American flag. He then mentions that "a genuine American hero," "a local boy" and "an Olympic gold medalist" is in attendance tonight, and he notices Kurt Angle in the front row, telling him to get in the ring and prove his American patriotism. Angle climbs over the barricade, and proposes $500 in cash to blow his nose in the American flag. Angle tells him "No chance," but Tiger Ali Singh says there is a really good chance and ups the offer to $2,000. Angle tells him "Forget about it," and Tiger Ali Singh mocks him before upping the offer again to $5,000. Angle accepts, then places his nose in the American flag. As soon as Tiger Ali Singh turns his back, Angle grabs the Indian flag and blows his nose in it. Tiger Ali Singh attacks Angle with the American flag, but when it has no effect and Tiger Ali Singh eggs him on, Kurt Angle hits Tiger Ali Singh with a belly-to-belly suplex and a hip toss before Tiger Ali Singh retreats.

He tells The Rock that if he wants answers, then he should step in his world and face him like a man. The Rock shows up and tells Paul Wight there is nobody that calls him out and lives to tell about it, and says Paul Wight wants to be like him but is nothing more than a roody-poo candy ass. As The Rock and Paul Wight stare down, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's music hits, and Paul Wight goes up the right to head Austin off at t he pass. Instead of coming out down the ramp, he comes out from the crowd and hits The Rock with a Stone Cold Stunner to end the show.

Feel The Heat - Sunday Night Heat recap for February 28, 1999

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.

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.

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.

Shane McMahon retains the WWF European Championship against Gillberg by using the European title as a weapon following a Spear by Gillberg as Chyna distracts the referee. After the match, Gillberg goes for another Spear only to run into Chyna with no effect and fall victim to the Pedigree. 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.

Vince gives Austin one last chance to break his contract tonight before they go to the cage, as he has big plans and he doesn't want to execute them.

He then says Chyna was right to say it was all about the money, as she is nothing but a two-dollar whore. X-Pac takes the microphone and tells Shane that if he wanted to get a bronco ride on him, then he will get his hands on him and take the silver spoon out of his mouth before shoving it up his ass. Road Dogg stops him before he can finish his statement, saying he can't say that on Heat. Shane says that won't happen, as X-Pac is hiding behind DX and that he can take X-Pac.
