Anarchy Rulz 1999 - The Results

Stephen Prazak is trying to interview Masato Tanaka when "Judge" Jeff Jones shows up and complains about Tanaka being in the way of his parking spot, and that he does not care about Tanaka being the #1 contender for the ECW World Heavyweight Championship. He then says he gets petitions in his courtroom everyday, and that there are plenty of guys in the United States that deserve a title shot over him. Tanaka pushes Jones into the back of his car and heads into the building. Jones says Tanaka did the crime and now he will pay the price, and that price he pays will be awesome.

Joey Styles and Cyrus the Virus introduce everyone to tonight's show. Cyrus shakes Styles' hand with a rubber glove over his, saying it is just a little protection before they have intellectual intercourse.

Lance Storm beats Jerry Lynn with a three-quarter nelson grapevine pin after Jerry Lynn can barely stand. During the match, Dawn Marie stops two pinfall attempts by Jerry Lynn, one by dropping a chair on referee John Finegan and the other by placing Storm's foot on the rope.

Before the next match, Simon Diamond says he has a problem. He says he does not suck (which starts "you suck dick", and that he needs a tag team partner. Tom Marquez, a graduate of the House of Hardcore, is sitting at the timekeeper's table, and Simon tells him to get in the ring. He then tells him to sit back down, as he didn't say "Simon says." Simon says no man wants to stand next to him or be his partner. All of a sudden, Jazz shows up. Simon says that he did not say "Simon says" and that she is a woman. Jazz says she is trying to prove herself, but Simon says all women have proven in the wrestling business is that they are worthless and are "T&A." He tells her to get her "flat-chested ghetto booty" and her "$1.99 weave" out of the ring. Jazz shoves Simon into the corner. Simon says "Simon says" and sics Tom Marquez on her. After a brief match, Tony DeVito gets involved, then Nova and Chris Chetti get in the ring and fight DeVito and Diamond. Shortly into the match, Chris Chetti injures his leg, then Road Kill, Danny Doring and Miss Congeniality show up and attack Nova and Jazz, the latter of whom get into the ring. Some men from the locker room get into the match try to stop Roadkill from hitting a top rope splash on Jazz, then they all fight each other. While this goes on, New Jack shows up with a trash can full of weapon and beats every single impromptu brawler up, and Rod Price gets a few staple gun shots to the forehead before taking a guitar shot tot the head.

Tajiri beats Little Guido and Super Crazy in an elimination three-way dance.

Steve Corino says everyone knows that he announced Friday that he would bring a mystery tag team to face Raven and "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer for the ECW World Tag Team Championship tonight. He will be the first to say that it was going to be The Insane Clown Posse (Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope), but their manager said they wouldn't be there because they knew they were going to lose. That leaves him in a bad spot, as he always speaks the truth and delivers on a promise. Like the great man and mind that he is, he will give them a world tag team match, and says that he and Rhino will be facing Raven and Dreamer for the ECW tag team titles, and that the titles will be coming to them.

Smashing Pumpkins lead singer Billy Corgan is seen in the audience.

Before the next match, Justin Credible says everyone knows that Sabu has been reinstated to wrestle here tonight, but being an impact player, he and Jason always have something up their sleeves. Jason hands Justin a piece of paper, which happens to be a restraining order that prevents Sabu from even entering the building, much less getting in the ring, and tells ring announcer Bob Artis to declare him the winner of the match. Referee Jim Molineaux says the restraining order is legal and binding, but tonight, there is no law and order, this is Chicago, Illinois, and tonight, anarchy rules. He and Artis tell Justin Credible he will be facing Sabu, much to the anger of Justin Credible. Artis tries to make the announcement, but Justin smashes Artis in the head with his kendo stick. The lights go out, then come back on, and Sabu is in the ring. This starts the match.

Justin Credible beats Sabu with a Tombstone Piledriver into a steel chair.

Before the next match, Taz (who is greeted with boos and "Taz sucks dick" chants) notices Judge Jeff Jones and Mike Awesome being stopped by Paul E. Heyman and ECW security. He notices Paul E. Heyman, credits Heyman for pushing him, and tells him to let Jones and Awesome get in the ring so he can choke Awesome out. Awesome is still being stopped, but Taz tells Heyman to let him go so he can give him a bigger buy rate and bigger ratings. Heyman says he promoted Taz as the baddest motherfucker on the planet because he could take out anybody, and if he wants to defend the ECW World Heavyweight Championship against two men at once, he's got it.

Mike Awesome beats Taz and Masato Tanaka in a three-way dance to become the new ECW World Heavyweight Champion! During the match, Taz is the first man eliminated in mere minutes, and Paul E. Heyman are in the aisle with Paul E. Heyman to watch what is going on. Taz gracefully walks out of the ring and to the back. Awesome gets the win - and the World title - after powerbombing Tanaka through a table. After the match, Taz shows back up, takes the ECW World Heavyweight Championship from referee John Finegan, kisses itk, then personally hands the championship to Awesome before shaking hands with him and raising his hand in victory. The locker room thanks Taz, who wants the fans to chant for Awesome.

We see Raven near a playground swing set. He says that for two-and-a-half years, he and "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer fought a battle of mystical proportions, a friendship based on love and a hatred based on friendship. Dreamer scarred his face and battered him unmercifully, and he took his girl. However, the one thing Dreamer could ever do was beat him, as he always pinned him. After he came to ECW to exorcise his demons two-and-a-half years ago, it was time for Dreamer to graduate, so he gave him his victory. In that time, he stayed away from ECW, and with him gone, Dreamer's life lost it meaning, his career its purpose, and his relationship with Beulah McGillicutty lost its foundation. He says Dreamer lost his focus and lost the girl. He says Keyser Söze once said that the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he did not exist, and he tells Dreamer he exists and that he is going to be his own personal demon, as this savior has already been crucified for his sins.

Before the next match, "The Quintessential Studmuffin" Joel Gertner shows up and interviews Francine and "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer. Gertner says he and Dreamer have had their issues in the past and that he has a lot of loathing and dislike for him, but also a certain amount of respect. He then asks about the status of Dreamer's back injury, his ability to defend the tag team titles, and the longevity - or lack thereof - of his wrestling career. Dreamer says that yesterday, he was at Wrigley Field when he saw Sammy Sosa "hit number 60," and says there is only one reason Sosa goes out and performs: the fans pay for his salary. As he watched Sosa, he pounds his fist on his heart and does it every time for the people. Dreamer than says he is sick and tired of doctors and specialists telling him what he needs to, and says he does not need any special effects of "glitzy shit" for he is Tommy Dreamer and he needs to sweat, bleed and innovate some violence in Chicago, Illinois tonight. All of a sudden, Steve Corino shows up with Rhino and Jack Victory, and trashes Dreamer for catering to the fans. He says that if Dreamer wants to bleed, he will make him bleed, and he sics Rhino on him. Dreamer makes work of Rhino, then chases Corino to the back before pushing Jack Victory by the wheelchair towards Francine, who hits Victory with a chair. Later on in the match, Rhino hits Francine with a powerslam, then Raven shows up and hits Rhino with an Evenflow DDT before getting punched by Jack Victory. Corino gets in the ring and fights Dreamer. Cornio and Victory whip Raven and Dreamer into each other, and they almost go at it before Corino and Victory get in the way again. Dreamer and Raven then hit simultaneous DDTs on both Rhino and Victory. After the match, radio shock jock Mancow Muller is seen on the aisle with Turd and Al Roker, Jr., and they follow Raven to the back.

Axl Rotten is in the ring before the next match. He says that tonight, we saw a class act and a new ECW World Heavyweight Champion in Mike Awesome. He says he may not be the best worker in the business, but he can bleed like a bitch, and he lets Awesome know that he is making a name for himself here tonight by calling him out for the ECW World Heavyweight Championship, and tells him to get in the ring if he has any balls as he wants to get extreme on his ass. All of a sudden, Lance Storm, Johnny Smith, Justin Credible, Dawn Marie and Jason show up. Storm says he appreciates that Axl wants to make his name here tonight, but says that this pay-per-view belongs to them. He says they are 2-for-2 tonight and that they are about to be 3-for-3, and tells Axl to rescind the challenge before they rescind it for him. Axl says he wants to make his mark, and doesn't want to be a mark like Storm. He says the fans are cheering "for the tits, not the talent," and if he wants to rescind something, he will rescind a clothesline to his face. Balls Mahoney and Spike Dudley show up as the numbers game catches up to Axl quickly, and while Spike hits Dawn Marie with the Acid Drop, he still goes down. Balls Mahoney comes back into the ring and hits Johnny Smith in the head with a steel chair, and Lance Storm and company retreat. Axl then says they are not going out like this, and it looks like Rob Van Dam is short an opponent tonight since Johnny Smith has an extreme headache. He then calls out Bill Alfonso, and tells him to bring Rob Van Dam out to the ring to face Balls Mahoney so that he can prove to Chicago why he's the whole fucking show. Alfonso and RVD show up.

Rob Van Dam retains the ECW World Television Championship against Balls Mahoney. Both men show respect after the match.

Rob Van Dam retains the ECW World Television Championship against Jerry Lynn. At one point in the match, Jerry Lynn gets put through a table outside of the ring, and almost injures himself to the point that he cannot go as he complains about stitches opening up, and as everyone - including Rob Van Dam and Bill Alfonso - clap as Lynn heads to the stretcher, Lynn turns around and gets back in the ring for more. Both men shake hands after the match.

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

We see footage from earlier today, where the WWF referees are on strike outside of the arena following what happened earlier this week on Raw.

It is announced that there will be a Six-Pack Challenge between The Undertaker, Big Show, The Rock, Mankind, Kane and Triple H for the WWF Championship at SummerSlam, due to there being no #1 contender for the WWF Championship.

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin shows up. He says that just because he got disqualified on Raw does not mean Triple H is through with him. When he came to the ring, he came to beat Triple H's ass, and that's what he did. He says referee Earl Hebner was at the wrong place at the wrong time. He says that when Triple H beat his legs with the steel chair at SummerSlam, he should have bashed his brains in as he did not get the job down and that Triple H will be hunted down for as long as he can breathe, and he will serve him a can of whupass in front of the whole world. Austin then says they can do this the easy way or the hard way. Triple H can either show up and give him his rematch for the WWF Championship here tonight in a no-holds-barred match, or he can be carted out in a bodybag. Triple H and Chyna show up with their police escort, and Triple H tells Austin that he isn't getting anything because he blew his opportunity, and says he can kiss his ass. He then says he has been ordered to defend the WWF Championship tonight, and says that the crowd can kiss his ass for calling him an asshole. Triple H then announces that he will defend the title against a main event competitor of his choice, but it will not be Austin. However, it will be someone Austin has shared the ring with. He then says this is as close as Austin will ever get to the WWF title again. Austin then tells Triple H that he can prance around all he wants and talk about title matches, but he will be following him all night long, so he had better grow eyes in the back of his head as he will be so far up his ass that he won't be able to walk again.

WWF co-owner Shane McMahon shows up. Cindy Margolis is seen in the audience. Shane says he and The Mean Street Posse (Rodney, Pete Gas, Joey Abs) go way back, but this is about the happiness of his sister Stephanie McMahon. He demands that Joey Abs get in the ring with him right now, so he can show him what brotherly love is all about. Joey Abs shows up with Terri Runnels and the rest of the Posse, and Shane gets the match started with a dive on all three men, even though there is absolutely no referee in the ring. Test and Stephanie are seen watching this match from backstage, then Gerald Brisco shows up with a referee's shirt, which temporarily distracts Joey Abs.

Shane McMahon beats Joey Abs. During the match, Pete Gas drags referee Gerald Brisco out of the ring, and Brisco fights back. Rodney gets involved, but Joey Abs accidentally punches Rodney out of the ring. Shane hits Joey Abs with a low blow, then Pat Patterson shows up in a referee's shirt. Rodney pulls Patterson out of the ring during a pinfall attempt and fights him in the crowd. A third referee shows up in the form of Shawn Stasiak, and he makes the count when Shane hits a top rope splash to get one over on The Mean Street Posse (Rodney, Pete Gas, Joey Abs). Stephanie McMahon runs to the ring and celebrates with Shane in the ring, while Test watches from the stage. Stephanie then kicks Joey Abs in the abs. Cindy Margolis is seen on camera again, and Ivory is seen backstage, sneering as she heads to the ring with the WWF Women's Championship.

Ivory shows up. He says one of the nicest things about being WWF Women's Champion is that she gets to meet very important people, with her favorites being the movie stars. She mentions that Cindy Margolis is in the audience tonight, and asks her to stand up for the people. She does, and Ivory asks Cindy Margolis to do her the honor of joining him in the ring. Cindy gets in the ring, and as Ivory runs down Cindy's recent accomplishments - which includes being the most downloaded woman on the Internet - and asks Cindy to show one of those striking poses that she does on the Internet, and asks her to lay down on the mat and do one of the bikini poses. Cindy refuses, then Ivory grabs and demands she does it before she lays her down herself and calls her a bitch. Suddenly, Jeff Jarrett shows up and puts Cindy Margolis in the Figure Four Leg Lock to send a message to Chyna as Ivory cheers him on. Jeff Jarrett and Ivory then high-five each other, then Jarrett puts ivory in the Figure Four.

Lilian Garcia interviews Triple H, who says that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin will not be challenging him for the WWF Championship, and says that Austin had better be hoping that he doesn't start looking for him tonight. As this interview goes on, Austin can be seen hiding behind some curtains, overhearing the interview and making good on his promise that he will be following him around.

"Sexual Chocolate" Mark Henry beats "The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman after Blackman is attacked from behind by Val Venis with a kendo stick behind the referee's back. Backstage official Tony Garea is the referee for this match. After the match, D'Lo Brown attacks Mark Henry and puts him in the Sky High.

Cindy Margolis is being placed in an ambulance when Jeff Jarrett tells her that her injury is a message from him to Chyna, and tells her to "download that." Test shows up and tells Jarrett to chill out, and this starts a brawl between Test and Jarrett.

Terry Taylor interviews Jeff Jarrett, who says that Test is a dumb "dime a dozen" blonde just like Cindy Margolis and that he will challenge Test to a match for the WWF Intercontinental Championship. When he is done with test, WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon won't even recognize him.

Before the next match, Chris Jericho shows up and says he is one bad mamma jamma, and that he has tremendous news. "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock has finally admitted defeat, and that backstage, he admitted that Jericho is the world's most dangerous man and that he is much tougher than he is. He then proceeded to get on his hands and knees and beg him to make sure that they never, ever meet face-to-face again, then licked the dust off his boots in gratitude for hiring Curtis Hughes to keep him from tearing his limb from limb. For this reason, he has allowed Curtis Hughes to take his place his match in this match tonight, and he has also scoured the streets of the city to find a referee qualified to work in this match, and he found that and so much more. That official is the great Mexican official: Manuel Garcia Lopez, or as he is better known, El Dopo. A referee in a green mask runs to the ring, then Ken Shamrock shows up. Chris Jericho then guests on commentary.

Curtis Hughes beats "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock by disqualification after Shamrock does not let go of the ankle lock, even though there was no five-count. During the match, Chris Jericho gets involved in the match, and El Dopo does not ring the bell. Shamrock grabs El Dopo and unmasks him, and El Dopo is ring announcer Howard Finkel. The Fink begs for forgiveness, but Shamrock boots him to the mat.

Lilian Garcia interviews Mankind, who says tonight's five man Royal Rumble Rules Match might be total mayhem, but he and The Rock will act as a team as there in as inexplicable bond between them like a finely-tuned automobile, with The Rock being the front end and him being "The People's Rear End." He says that the only thing cooler than being picked to face Triple H for the WWF Championship is if The Rock is picked, so he can get some new material for catchphrases.

We see more footage from outside the arena from earlier today where the referees are on strike.

Before the next match, The Rock tells The Undertaker, Mankind, Kane and Big Show that they all can go down to the Tropicana Hotel right up the road, find the absolute best slot machine they can find, which has a Brahma bull on the front and has the words "The People's Slot Machine" on it. One of them will pull the handle and get three Brahma bulls, and they get the jackpot and jump around like a bunch of idiots. The Rock mocks all of his challenges while conjuring up images of Kane doing cartwheels and Big Show scaring everybody. He then says the doors will open, and he will arrive. Tears will run down their eyes and piss will run down their legs, then he will scoop up all the gold coins that they won, shine them all up real nice, turn them sideways and stick them straight up their candy asses. After that, Triple H and Chyna are seen backstage, and Triple H tells Chyna that if they see "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, he will get Austin before Austin sees him, and he will beat his ass tonight.

The Undertaker beats Big Show, Mankind, The Rock and Kane in a five-man Royla RUmble Rules Match. During the match, The Undertaker shows up in plain clothes and joins in on commentary, not even taking apart in the match until Big Show is about to be eliminated by The Rock, when he does the deed himself and gets rid of both men. (One of the referees for this match is WWF security guard JIm Dotson, who has been seen frequently on shows since 1998 and will continue to do so throughout the Attitude Era. The other is timekeeper Mark Yeaton.) After the match, Big Show confronts The Undertaker, but Mideon and Viscera show up and stand with The Undertaker. The Rock gets back in the ring and hits them all with a steel chair, but he eventually gets overpowered.

Before the next match, Hardcore Holly tells Chyna that she has had more than enough time to find a tag team partner, and that it's time for him to do what he should have done last week. Chyna shows up (with her own TitanTron video for the first time), but has no tag team partner. She takes on Hardcore and Crash Holly by herself.

Chyna beats Hardcore and Crash Holly. During the match, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn shows up and acts as Chyna's tag team partner, much to Chyna's chagrin. Referee Earl Hebner's twin brother Dave Hebner - who is now a road agent after originally working as a referee - is the referee for this match. After the match, Chyna and Gunn have words, then Jeff Jarrett shows up and smacks Chyna in the back with a frying pan. Debra and Miss Kitty show up with a shopping bag. Jarrett pulls an apron and a soup ladel out, and puts the apron on her wil placing the frying pan and the soup ladel in her hands. He then tells Chyna to start fixing him his supper.

Lilian Garcia interviews The Big Boss Man, who is holding a doggie bag. Inside it is the remains of Pepper. Boss Man says Al Snow had better be hungry, because after he's done kicking his ass, he will climb the pole, grab the bag, and forcefully feed it to Snow.

Al Snow beats The Big Boss Man in a Pepper On A Pole Match. Sgt. Slaughter is the referee for this match. During the match, The British Bulldog shows up with some expertly-handled Rottweilers. Boss Man takes the doggie bag off the pole, but tosses it out of the ring. Al Snow grabs it to win the match, then Boss Man is chased by the Rottweilers and falls over the guardrail as he gets away from them.

Backstage, Triple H tells Chyna that they will make history, and that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin will not be ruining their plans. As they talk, Austin is seen overhearing and watching them from inside the back of a truck.

Test vs. Jeff Jarrett for the WWF Intercontinental Championship ends in a no-contest. Timekeeper Mark Yeaton is the referee for this match. During the match, Rodney and Pete Gas show up and watch the match from ringside, and they distract Test and Yeaton during the match. As this happens, Pete Gas attacks Test, and WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon shows up to confront Rodney. Shane attacks Rodney, then Gerald Brisco, Pat Patterson and Shawn Stasiak also come to assist. At this point, the bell has rung, the match already having gotten out of control. Jarrett then attacks Test, and Stephanie checks on Test. Jarrett goes for the Figure Four Leg Lock on Stephanie, but Shane tackles Jarrett before he can lock the hold in. Jeff Jarrett retains the WWF Intercontinental Championship.

WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon is seen leaving the arena with Test, whose left shoulder appears hurt.

Before the next match, Triple H says he has been given the right to choose the referee for his match. He has gone through the trouble to find someone who has a vested interest in the match, and asks WWF co-owner Shane McMahon to do him the honors and be the special guest referee. WWF co-owners Vince and Linda McMahon ask Shane if he is up for it, and Shane says he is up to it. Shane shows up, and is allowed to head to the ring by Triple H and Chyna's police detail. Triple H says there are numerous superstars in the WWF who could be considered for a title shot tonight, such as The Undertaker. He says he and The Undertaker would like to rip each other's hearts out, but The Undertaker is not the opponent. He mentions Big Show, but he has beaten his brains in with a sledgehammer already. He mentions Kane, but says he would hate to put him through the misery of beating him again. He tells Mankind to go play with his sock, then tells The Rock has some sort of fascination with inserting things into people's rectum and tells him to kiss his ass since it is not him. He says his opponent is somebody special, as this person is playing a game he wants no part of and wants to be a hero. He says he has taken it upon himself to get in the ring and steal his glory and thunder, and has "balls the size of grapefruits." He then says that if Vince McMahon wants to be a hero to his wife and be a star, he will give him that chance as he has had enough, and the fact of the matter is, he will put the WWF Championship on the line to get a piece of his ass. He then screams at Vince, then gives Linda a chance, saying she might not last long, but at least he will let her "ride [his] bench." At this point, Vince has had enough, and he heads to the ring. All the while, SHane cannot even believe what is going on. Vince finally shows up and heads to the ring, and asks Triple H to head to the back so they can discuss it like men. Triple H says the talking is over, and says it is the two of them in the ring, right now. Vince says Raw was personal, but he does not want to involve himself in WWF business. Nevertheless, he tells Triple H not to make it too personal. Triple H asks if Vince doesn't have the balls, and says he is calling Vince out. Vince flat out says "no," and Triple H tells Vince to head back to the back and hide behind his skirt, and to tell his sexually frustrated wife that if he can't get the job done, Triple H can keep it up all night for her. Vince attacks Triple H as soon as he turns his back. This starts the match.

Vince McMahon beas Triple H to become the WWF Champion! During the match, Triple H shoves referee Shane McMahon for confronting him for using a steel chair. Shane tackles Triple H, then Chyan gets in the ring and she and Triple H stomp Shane. Triple H then grabs the steel chair and smashes it into Shane's head. Linda McMahon heads to the ring wtih Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco trying to stop her. Triple H and Chyna make quick work of Patterson and Brisco, then Linda gets in the ring only to be grabbed by Chyna. Linda is forced to watch as Triple H punches Vince multiple times. Triple H is then about to put Vince in the Pedigree when "Stone Cold" Steve Austin comes out of the crowd. Linda McMahon gets away, and Austin stomps a mudhole in Triple H in the corner before hitting both Triple H and Chyna with a Stone Cold Stunner. Austin then places Vince McMahon on top of Triple, then drags Shane towards Vince and Triple H. Shane makes the three-count, and Vince McMahon becomes the WWF Champion. At 54 years old, he is the oldest man to win the title. After the match, Austin flees through the crowd, and Linda and Shane check on Vince while Triple H and Chyna chase after Austin. Vince, Linda, Shane, Patterson and Brisco celebrate in the ring to end the show.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for September 13, 1999

Triple H and Chyna make it into the building with a police escort.

Pat Patterson, Gerald Brisco and WWF co-owner Linda McMahon show up to start the show. Linda says that Triple H dug his own grave last Thursday night, and tonight, he will have to sleep in it. She says there is no question that Kane, The Undertaker, Big Show, Mankind and The Rock all deserve a shot at Triple H and the WWF Championship, but only one men can get it. She announces all five aforementioned men will face off in a five-way no-holds-barred match, where the winner will face Triple H for the WWF Championship at Unforgiven. This begs who will become WWF Champion come Unforgiven, and she says there will be a man who will appear tonight who, while not 100%, has a contractual obligation to demand a championship rematch with Triple H. Should he arrive, Triple H will be defending the title tonight against that man: "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. Triple H, who is watching from the back along with Chyna and the police escort, says that Linda has "flipped her lid," and heads down to the ring with Chyna and the police escort. Triple H attacks Gerald Brisco, and Chyan hits Pat Patterson with a low blow as the police escort surrounds the ring. Triple H says he doesn't know what Linda is thinking about, and asks if she has flipped her lid. He tells Linda that this is a game she does not want to be in, and tells her to pack her bags and go back to Stamford, Connecticut before she makes him do something he is going to regret. As Linda backs off, Big Show and The Undertaker are seen in the crowd but are stopped by the police escort. The Rock and Mankind are seen coming out through the crowd, but they are stopped by the escort after they hop the barricade.

A camera is situated at the entry area of the arena. WWF co-owner Shane McMahon is seen entering the arena.

Michael Cole interviews The Rock and Mankind. The Rock tells Cole it doesn't matter how he feels about the match, and that he is finally back in Anaheim, California in front of the millions of his fans, who will all be chanting his name. He says he will lay the smack down on all the others' candy asses and stick Mankind's mask up his candy ass. Mankind says he has a feeling there will be many painful feelings, and says that it will be up to The Rock to lay the smack down on his candy ass.

Jeff Jarrett, Debra and Miss Kitty show up. Jarrett asks who it's going to be tonight, and says that "if you wear a dress and you relieve yourself in a squatting position, you're getting your ass kicked tonight."

He says that he gave Al Snow the WWF Hardcore Championship because he deserves it, and he wanted to show everyone who didn't think he would make a comeback that he could come back.

He says he will be WWF Champion before he retires. Suddenly, The Big Boss man shows up and says that last Thursday, the Bulldog stuck his nose in his business and that nobody does that to him. He says him being WWF Champion will never happen, since he plans to send him home in a doggy bag before the night is over. Al Snow suddenly shows and asks Boss Man if he got his "love letter" last week, which happened to be a very special challenge to a very special match .Snow admits he may be mentally off once in a while, but thought that since Boss Man enjoyed keeping Pepper in a cage until he cooked him, he decided to put Boss Man's "fat, donut eating ass" in a cage, too. He proposes putting a steel cage on top of the ring, then surround it with the Cell from Hell in a Cell, and have the inner be the first to get out of both cages. Boss Man wants to know if the WWF Hardcore Championship will be on the line, because he will not get in the ring if it is not. He says the title is on the line, and a whole lot more. Boss Man accepts, but says he's going to get a piece of Al Snow right now. Snow says he forgot to mention one thing: a few of "Pepper's family members" will be in the Cell in that match, and he is making sure they haven't eaten for a couple of weeks before the match. He thing brings out a few of them right now. Dog handles bring out dogs, but they are not chihuahuas; they are Rottweilers. Boss Man says he is afraid of nothing, much less the dogs, and says he will get him at Unforgiven. Snow tells Boss Man that revenge is a bitch, and these bitches are in heat," and he will make him pay for what he did to Pepper.

WAR ZONE

Before the next match, Triple H tells "Stone Cold" Steve Austin that there is nothing he would love more than to get in the ring and kick his ass.

Austin is handcuffed with two sets of handcuffs and arrested, and Triple H and Chyna then get in the ring.

The Godfather beats Chaz. During the match, Marianna shows up with tears coming down her face, saying "Chaz, why?"

The steel cage has been lowered before the next match. Chris Jericho shows up and checks the integrity of the cage, then welcomes everyone to "Raw Is Jericho." He says "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock is a fake and that he doesn't rock, Jericho rocks. Last week, he embarrassed Shamrock once again and destroyed his reputation in front of all his friends, family and "so-called fans." Because he is a heck of a nice guy, he has decided to give him one more lesson and one more chance to realize he is the world's most dangerous man. He says the steel cage is a prison and a "Y2Jail" as well as his specialty. He has scoured the world to find the most proficient shoot fighter he could come across so he can rip him limb from limb and prove he is one bad mamma jamma. He then brings out his opponent: Gotch Gracie. Gotch Gracie - a big man in all black, including a black mask that completely covers his face - shows up and climbs into the cage and the ring.

Chris Jericho beats Gotch Gracie (a portmanteau of Karl Gotch and Royce Gracie) in a Steel Cage Match with the Lion Tamer. During the match, Jericho repeatedly talks into the microphone and puts himself on a pedestal.

Suddenly, Gotch Gracie gets up and attacks Shamrock along with Jericho. Jericho then unmasks Gotch Gracie, who is none other than Curtis Hughes aka Mr. Hughes, who in the WWF in 1993 and 1994.

D'Lo Brown and The Godfather talk backstage. D'Lo hands The Godfather a bunch of money.

Michael Cole interviews Chris Jericho, who says that he was trying to teach "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock a lesson and tell him that he would rip him limb from limb, and to prove he was the WWF's most dangerous man, he hired Curtis Hughes to protect Shamrock from Jericho, not the other way around, and says that he will pluck Shamrock's limbs off the next time they meet. If Shamrock has a problem with that, he can take it up with Mr. Hughes.

Big Show vs. The Undertaker vs. The Rock vs. Mankind vs. Kane to determine a #1 contender for the WWF Championship ends in a no-contest.

Officials then run into the ring, but all of them get beaten up as soon as they get in. Referee Earl Hebner shows up, looks at the carnage, waves his hands downwards as if to say "forget this" and goes back to the back. The Godfather then shows up, but he gets beaten up, too. Crash Holly does not fare well, either, as he eats a choke slam from Big Show. Prince Albert also gets beat up, as does Chaz, Christian, and Stevie Richards.

Before the next match, Triple H says WWF co-owner Linda McMahon needs to take care of family business, but this personal and they have some business to take care. He warns her not to bring any more innocent people into this, and make him and Chyna beat up Pat Patterson and Gerlad Brisco again. He demands that Linda show up in the ring right now. Linda shows up, and Triple H says he is trying to be nice as he likes her, and asks her to tell everyone what happened tonight and how "Stone Cold" Steve Austin forfeited his shot at the WWF Championship when he got arrested. Linda says she will not do that, and she refuses again. Suddenly, WWF co-owner Shane McMahon's music hits, but it's not Shane...it's WWF co-owner Vince McMahon, who has not been seen since the Raw after Fully Loaded. Vince confronts Triple H, saying he would not interfere in WWF business again, but this is not business; it is personal. He calls Triple a son-of-a-bitch and asks him who the hell he thinks he is, and says he needs a reminder of who gave him the break and the opportunity to become WWF Champion. Vince throws his jacket at Triple H, and Triple H and Vince are about to fight when "Stone Cold" Steve Austin runs out and fights Triple H. Vince McMahon gets out of the ring with Linda and they both hightail it to the back.

Both men have a toast and drink, then Austin hits Triple H with another Stunner before heading to the back.

Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for September 13, 1999

Also, Shane Douglas and Perry Saturn are at ringside in case outside interference happens again. Both men show respect after the match.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, who has not been seen in a while. He says that the last six months have been a whirlwind, and says that for the first time in five years, he has a real job. He says he has been held down for a lifetime, and that it could not happen in North Carolina for one day. He says he and Hulk Hogan have a date with destiny, and yet when he's gone for six week, Sting is suddenly champion. As for Sting, he was jealous when he first met him, but he knew he was the man and that Sting was the constant and "the franchise." When he walked into the building tonight and found out how Sting beat Hulk Hogan for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship, he was disappointed. Sting suddenly shows up with Lex Luger, who is holding a baseball bat. Flair tells Sting and Luger to get back up the aisle, because he is not done talking yet. Sting says he and Flair go way back, and when he looks back over the last ten years, he wonders how often Flair lured him in and then stabbed him in the back. He says that he and Flair - whom he calls "Slick Ric" - have a very unique situation tonight, as he has a lot of respect for him after putting him on the map and making him who he is at this very moment. He says that Flair is a kiss-stealin', wheelin-dealin', high-flyin', limousine ridin' son of a gun. He says Flair is the dirtiest player in the game, and he learned from him. He says this situation exists because he respects him, and gives him the opportunity to go back to the back peacefully and gracefully. Flair says it is a tribute to Sting's manhood that Sting acknowledges him for his success, for when he starts talking about what kind of guy Flair is, "he sounds like [his] wife." Suddenly, Flair says he will leave, then pretends to leave and gets back in the ring. Sting says that he has been waiting for the last ten years, and says Flair is in power. Ten years ago, he and Luger always wondered when they would have the ball and run with it, and says that now, they are ready to have the ball. Luger says that Flair coined the phrase "total package," and says he respects him, and gives him another chance to walk away. He says diamonds are forever, but Flair is not. This leads to "Luger sucks" chants. Luger does not want to lecture Flair, as Flair knows what is best for his career, but he says this is the year of graceful exits as seen by several pro athletes walking out on top during the year. He demands that Flair take a walk. Flair says he was ready to retire until he watched WCW recently, and noticed they couldn't do it without him, and that is why he is back. He respects Sting, but Sting isn't going to walk over him to get any more notoriety or recognition. He respects Sting, but says Sting will have to earn the rest of it. Flair is then attacked from out of nowhere by Luger, and Luger and Sting proceed to attack Flair. Luger then puts Flair in the Torture Rack before Sting puts Flair in the Scorpion Death Lock. Hulk Hogan and Bret "The It Man" Hart then make their way to the ring, and Sting and Luger slowly get out of the ring. Trainer Danny Young and a few referees check on Flair. Hogan says he does not know what planet Sting and Luger are living on, but he is about to take them out of their dream world. He says what they did to Flair is over the line, and even after all their wars, he still has respect for Flair and he was not about to let Flair get hit with a baseball bat. He and Bret were in the back and saw what was going down, and he says he will be damned if it happens anymore. When he said "training, praying and kicking somebody's ass," he and Bret talked, and now they are going to show what kicking ass is all about. They are not leaving the building, as they are going to get Sting and Luger in the ring and they will make sure it happens about. Bret says it's high time to right some wrongs and that tonight is the perfect night. He tells Sting and Luger to get ready to be excellently executed. Hogan says this one is for him but also for Flair, since the fans respect him. Tonight, he and Bret will kick Sting and Luger's asses. Backstage, Sting and Luger talk. Sting says there is something wrong with this picture, and Luger says he is still not medically cleared and that he does not have his wrestling gear with him. Sting says there is no match.

After the match, Disco Inferno says he told everybody he is a superstar, icon, a main eventer and the man who took WCW into the millennium. Sid Vicious shows up with Charles Robinson, and proceeds to decimate both Disco and Watts as his streak extends to 81-0. Sid says someone asks him if he can define "intimidation." He says Bobby "The Brain" Heenan has the perfect answer for that, as he will stereotype him as "the big dumb guy." He says everyone who comes to field - whether it be Heenan, Hulk Hogan, Bret "The Hit Man" Hart or Goldberg - to meet the man and meet him in a battle of wits or a physical battle, everyone comes unarmed with no way to win. He has reached out and taken the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship, and he cn honestly say for the first time in WCW, the United States title is untarnished. He will not let trash touch his belt - especially Goldberg - have the opportunity to touch what is his, as in the year 2000, the people will only sing one name: Sid. He then powerbombs Disco Inferno for the third time and pins him, extending the streak to 82 wins.

Goldberg is seen entering the building, and is escorted to the ring by WCW security and local law enforcement despite not being in his ring gear, much to the annoyance of Prince Iaukea, who is scheduled to face Jerry Flynn, who is already in the ring. Goldberg apologizes to Jerry Flynn, and asks him to give him a second. Goldberg says he has always been told that good things are worth waiting for, but he has run out of patience. Every week, he has been watching Sid Vicious come out to the ring and wreak havoc, and he will admit that he admires his skill, his size and his strength. One thing he will not stand for is his mouth, however, and tonight, he puts a stop to it. Goldberg says he has worked hard at his record, and he came out to the ring and destroyed everybody one by one. Unlike him, however, Sid cheats, comes from behind, interferes in others' matches and stick his nose in other people's business. Tonight, he draws the line, and he stomps a hole in Sid's ass. He tells Sid to show him and the people that he has a backbone, and to come out of the back and show him who the man is. Not only does he know who the man is, so do the people, and it's not Sid. He tells Sid to quit singin' it and start bringin', because he's next and he has all the time in the world. Sid is seen watching from the locker room, and he says it does not happen until he says it is ready to happen, as this is his show. He packs up as he says he makes the decisions around here. Goldberg says it may be tomorrow, it may be next week, but eventually, Sid's ass is next. Goldberg is then attacked by Jerry Flynn, who almost immediately gets Speared and Jackhammered.

He gets chased out of the building by WCW security, who try to apprehend him.

Before the next match, "The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit says that last night was one of the worst nights of his life, as Sid Vicious beat him from pillar to post and showed him why he calls himself "The Millennium Man." When he put him in the Crippler Crossface, he knew Sid tapped out, and he could not sleep at night thinking about it. When he made it to the arena, he asked the producer to replay the match, he saw Sid tap out on the tape. He did not come here to whine and cry, and congratulates Sid Vicious from beating him for the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship. He says that he beat Dean Malenko, one of the most talented technical wrestlers in WCW today, to earn a shot at the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. He says that if Sting thinks he is the man, then he should get into the ring right now to show everybody in the world what kind of champion he is. Instead of Sting, he gets Rick Steiner, who tells Benoit that he was listening to him in the back, but says Sting has better things to do than deal with him.

He says there is a comfort level between himself and Hogan as Hogan has proven himself week after week and is walking the straight line, and he has no problem with him until they step in the ring.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund gets an impromptu interview with Hulk Hogan, who says he has been in the arena since noon and he is sick of everyone mistrusting him. He says he has sworn not to cross his kids or the fans. He says he does not do things' he plans things, and if he wanted to stab Sting in the back, he would have done it a long time ago. After all that has gone on, he will have to prove himself one more time. When he steps into the ring, he and Sting are friends, but when the match begins, he is all business. He says that if Lex Luger or anybody in the back wants a piece of him, they can come get it. He then says that Sting can turn his back all he wants, and that Sting is at his best when he pins him.

(In reality, Buff Bagwell is in the arena, but is not in the match due to refusing to lose to Berlyn backstage, and not wanting any part of the match. He is replaced with Duggan, but Duggan apparently wants nothing to do with it either, as he no-sells Berlyn's offense and refuses to cooperate with him in the ring.) After the match, Buff Bagwell makes it to the arena only to find out from production agent Mike Graham that his match is over. Bagwell runs into the ring and hugs Duggan, but Duggan pushes him away, angry at his loss againt Berlyn.

Storm says RVD and Lynn thought they would have some impact and that they were closing this show. Storm says they are closing the shows, since they are the impact players in ECW. We then see The Impact Players attacking Shane Douglas, Sid Vicious, Jerry Lynn, "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer (whom they injured), The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray and D-Von Dudley) and Sabu (whom they got banned from the United States).

It is announced that Paul E. Heyman made a vow that ECW on TNN would be better than the Monday night shows, and that Jerry Lynn vs. Rob Van Dam for the ECW World Television Championship is on next week, and that there will be a definitive winner. It is also announced that Raven will speak next week for the first time since walking out on World Championship Wrestling, returning to ECW and winning the ECW World Tag Team Championships with "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer.
