No Mercy 1999 - The Results

Before the next match, The Godfather gets on the mat to Mideon's level and says that since he has no farm animals and Mideon doesn't want any hos, he will just have to whip his ass.

Despite the constant interference of Viscera, The Godfather beats Mideon. Referee Tim White dances with the hos after the match.

Michael Cole interviews Ivory, who says that she does not care about The Fabulous Moolah's history as there is enough to fill an encyclopedia. She says Moolah and Mae Young have trouble remembering things because they can't seem to find their way back to "the home." Tonight, she will send a message they will never forget when she is done with them, and that she is the real Women's Champion.

The Fabulous Moolah beats Ivory to become the WWF Women's Champion for the fourth time and the first time since 1986 as Ivory tries to knock Mae Young off the apron with the title.

The Hollys (Hardcore and Crash Holly) beat The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) after Hardcore Holly throws a steel chair in the ring only for Billy Gunn to hit Crash with a Fameasser on the chair.

The Rock beats The British Bulldog.

The New Brood (Jeff and Matt Hardy) beat Edge and Christian in a Ladder Match to win The Terri Runnels Invitational three matches to two (3-2), earn $100,000 and win the managerial services of Terri Runnels.

Jeff Hardy makes a slick transition to the other ladder as everyone else is on the match, then grabs the bag of money above the ring and plummets back-first onto the math. The match is the very first tag team ladder match in WWF history. Gangrel is ejected from the match early on by referee Tim White. After the match, Jeff and Matt Hardy celebrate with Terri Runnels backstage.



The Rock shows up. He has a challenge in mind for the winner of tonight's main event, and he does not care if it is Triple H or "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. When the match is made and done and he stands in the middle of the ring the WWF Champion, all of his fans will chant his name, and when everything is finished, he will be The People's Champion again. As he leaves, he is suddenly attacked by Triple H with a sledgehammer, and referees have to restore order. The Rock has to be helped onto a stretcher by EMTs.

Austin eventually hits a Stone Cold Stunner and has to get Chioda back into the ring, but Triple H recovers and sends Austin into Chioda, who is on the apron on his way back to the ring. Chioda is knocked off the apron, and referee Earl Hebner runs into the ring after Triple H hits a Pedigree only to count a near-fall.

Extreme Nation - ECW on TNN recap for October 15, 1999

Chris Candido and Tammy Lynn Sytch show up, followed by Lance Storm and Dawn Marie. Storm says he saw Tammy's interview last week, and says it good to know she realizes she is a has-been at 26, then says people in the back figured it out a year ago. He goes on to say Candido only had enough talent for him to carry him for a year-and-a-half. He tells them to go back to their old habits and take a powder. Candido says the only powder they are taking is one they're man enough to make. Dawn Marie tells Candido to get out and take "[his] prostitute" with him. This leads to a brawl between both parties that security has to break up.

Tom Marquez vs. David Kash ends when Rhino and Steve Corino show up and Rhino Gores both men in the match. Corino then brings attention to the fact that Kyle Truley and Josh Wilcox of the New Orleans Saints are in the crowd, and Rhyno says he will beat the crap out of them. Rhino and the football players go at it, and security has to get involved. "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer shows up and has to help security out. Corino notices Dreamer, and says he will destroy him and end his career for good as one of the football players rips Rhino's jersey, which is tossed into the crowd.

During the match, Dreamer pulls Corino's tights down after getting him on the top rope and hits him with a steel chair to the bare buttocks.

Shortly afterwards, Dreamer puts Corino in the Tarantula, and Francine kicks Jack Victory off the apron. Tajiri shows up and attacks Dreamer, then goes after Francine, who kicks him in the crotch and runs to the back after ducking a roundhouse kick from Tajiri. Jack Victory is seen holding Dreamer back, but Raven runs in and pushes Corino off the tope rope. Dreamer hits Victory with a DDT, and Raven does the same to Tajiri before hitting Dreamer with one, too. Raven sits in the corner as Corino goes for the three-count, but Dreamer reverses the pinfall into an inside cradle for the win.

After Justin Credible whacks Candido in the back with a Singapore cane, Lance Storm hits Jerry Lynn's cradle piledriver for the win.

Mike Awesome retains the ECW World Heavyweight Championship against Rod Price after putting The Ragin' Cajun through a table outside of the ring.

Dawn Marie tells us that if we are watching "the all boobs and no brains show," then we should get our thrill right now, because before too long , it will all be over as she is running them out of town and she is a star. Lance Storm says it is strictly business, and that the more people they run out, the more impact they make, and if they get rid of Raven and Dreamer, they will win the tag team titles and make an impact, which is what they do. Justin Credible that's not just the coolest or the best, it's just incredible.

We see promos from various members of the ECW roster. During one of them, Steve Corino tells Jerry Lynn to shut up and stop whining before leaving. Lynn goes after him only to find Miss Congeniality in one of the locker rooms. He finds Corino only to get beaten up by Tajiri.

Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for October 14, 1999

Mankind enters WWF Chairman Vince McMahon's office. After plugging his new book, he says it is time to repay him for the favor he did him last week by bringing back The Rock 'n Sock Connection (The Rock and Mankind) for one night. All Vince has to do is book the match. Vince says it is okay with him, but says he does not have a willing partner. Mankind says The Rock wants this worse than he does, and that Vince made it happen. Vince wishes Mankind the best of luck.

Before the next match, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn mentions that Hardcore and Crash Holly will face him and "Road Dogg" Jesse James for the WWF Tag Team Championships at No Mercy, but they are due for an ass whupping courtesy of The New Age Outlaws (Road Dogg, Billy Gunn). However, they are feeling a little froggy and are issuing an open challenge for the tag team titles. Suddenly, Triple H shows up, the right side of his face bruised, swollen, and purple; his right eye black. Triple H talks to them, apologizes for interrupting them, and says he may never see them again. He then tells the fans this may be the last time they will ever see him again. He never intended for anything other than to come out and wrestle and live his dream. All he ever wanted to do was be in the ring and be the best in the world, and he never intended to live like some sort of cheap thrill seeker who performed for some sick people who wanted to see some guys kill each other for their entertainment. He says this is what the business has come down to, and it is wrong. He says the Superstars put their lives on the line, and the crowd could less as they only want to see someone get hurt. He says he is sick of it and he is done, and that this is the last time everyone will ever see him as he is done. Before he leaves, he wants WWF Chairman Vince McMahon to come out to the ring, and hopefully this will never happen to anyone ever again. Vince McMahon shows up, and Triple H asks him how he could let what happened to him happen. He says Vince has brought the business to the point that people have brought in poisonous snakes and that everyone is putting their lives on the line. He tells Vince to look at his face, saying this could be anybody, and that he has given his body, his face and his life for the business, and Vince could care less. He mentions his meeting with a poisonous rattlesnake last Monday night on Raw, and asks Vince if this is professional wrestling and if this is what he signed up for. He says that every opportunity has been taken away from him due to this, and tells Vince it's over. He is done, and he quits. He tells Vince he screwed himself, and there will be no main event. Even if he wanted to, he could not come to the building, and he will not anymore as he does not care anymore. He also tells Vince that when "Stone Cold" Steve Austin gets to the building, he wants Austin to look at him and see what has happened, as it is much Austin's fault as it is Vince's. He says he will hand the WWF Championship over to Austin, as it means more to him than life itself.

X-Pac meets Kane backstage. He apologizes to Kane, but Kane says "Sean...stay out of this."

The Acolytes (Faarooq and Bradshaw) beat Kane in a 2-on-1 handicap match. After the match, X-Pac runs in with a steel chair.

Mankind runs into Stevie Richards, who asks him if he could take on Val Venis. Mankind reminds Stevie Richards that Dude Love is a lover, not a fighter, and that Val Venis could kill him. Stevie says he is his best friend, and Mankind says he can be his friend, but not his best friend, and that he is looking for him.

In footage from earlier today, Michael Hayes interviews Test. Test says he can't even read The British Bulldog's name without getting pissed off; however, WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon does not want to be the cause of any violence, and he has to put her first. He hopes that she can recover so they can get married and move on with their lives. Stephanie may have forgiven The British Bulldog, but he has not.

Chris Jericho and Curtis Hughes are seen brawling backstage. Referees and officials have to restore order.

Mankind finds The Rock, who is on his phone. He tells him The Rock that WWF Chairman wants them to team up one last time, and Mankind thinks Vince is doing them a favor by letting The Rock 'n Sock Connection team up one last time to say goodbye the fans before The Rock goes on a singles career. The Rock says the only way he would entertain the thought if it is on SmackDown and if it is the absolute last time they ever tag together. Mankind tries to tell them who they are up against, but The Rock says it doesn't matter who they are up against. The Rock leaves, and Mankind says they are facing The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn for the WWF Tag Team Championships.

Chris Jericho beats Curtis Hughes after ring announcer Howard Finkel shows up and distracts referee Tim White so that Jericho can use a steel chair that he has planted in the corner as a weapon. After the match, Jericho tells Hughes there is no reason to be embarrassed after being beaten "fairly and squarely" by the toughes and meanest man in the World Wrestling Federation, and says Hughes hs always known that he is one bad mamma jamma. Even though Curtis Hughes will never, ever with him again and that he is a loser in the game of life, out of the goodness of his heart, he will give him a consolation prize of a farewell gift that is as worth as much as a set of encyclopedias: Howard Finkel. He says that if there were two idiots who were perfect for each other, it would be them, and he hopes that they form a connection of ebony and ivory that will dominate for years to come. He says he has seen how they look at each other in the lccker room and want to be together forever, and thanks to him, it can finally come true.

We see footage from earlier today where Jim Ross interviews Big Show. On Monday, he found out his father had terminal cancer, and that he does not have a lot of time left. He remembers his father telling him "Whatever you start, you finish," and he has never finished anything he has ever started. He is a great athlete and has done well at things, but he has never put his heart into anything. What has hit him the hardest is that he does not have a lot of time to prove he can put his heart into something and be the best he can be at something.

Terry Taylor interviews The Big Boss Man, who says he does not care about Al Snow or Big Show's personal issues. He has a problem with who booked him in a match with them, and the only way to get answers is to beat them up and win the WWF Hardcore Championship.

We see footage from "Sexual Chocolate" Mark Henry's third sex therapy session with a third sex therapist. Unlike the other two, this therapist is a White male instead of a Black female. Mark said he needed a male therapist, as all he thought about was them the whole time he asked for their help. The therapist feels he can help him, and touches him when eh says that. Mark - whom the therapist calls "Chocolate" and "Sexual" - tries to get him to come back, but to no avail.

We see footage from the break where Chyna calls for help backstage.

Before the next match, Val Venis says that as he strolls, struts and gyrates his way to No Mercy, the only thing on his mind is absolute victory. He tells Mankind that Mr. Rocko belongs to him, as he pulled him out of the garbage can and brought him ever so close to the promised land. Since then, Mr. Rocko has been in places The Rock could only dream of. At No Mercy, Mankind will find out first-hand exactly why he is the single fastest up and coming athlete in the history of the World Wrestling Federation.

Val Venis beats Stevie Richards. During the match, it is announced that EMTs are with Chyna backstage. After the match, Val Venis pulls Mr. Rocko out of his tights and applies a testicular claw to Stevie Richards.

EMTs and Chyna are seen wheeling a convulsing Triple H into an ambulance. Chyna gets in the back with Triple H before the ambulance speeds off.

The British Bulldog shows up. He says he can't, won't and does not care about anybody. All he cares about is the WWF Championship, and if Triple H is too sick to defend the title, then he will take it from whoever has it. As for The Rock, if he thinks he can slam him in a pile of bulldog crap and get away with it, then at No Mercy, he is going to knock that Brahma bullcrap out of him and get one step closer to the WWF Championship.

Terri Runnels does a photo shoot where she is nude and covered in money. She says that if a picture is worth a thousand words, then her picture is worth a hundred thousand words.

As Edge and Christian watch the photo shoot backstage, The Hardys and Gangrel attack from behind.

Jeff Jarrett and Miss Kitty show up. Inside the ring is a table and various household items. Jarrett tells Chyna that after Monday night, it has become obvious that she has not learned what the role of a woman should be. At No Mercy, he will show her. Tonight, he will demonstrate what good housekeeping is all about, as she does not have a clue. We then see the items in the ring, starting with the iron and ironing board, followed by a skillet, a frying pan, a portable oven range, a coffee pot, a broom in a garbage can, and of course, a guitar. Jarrett says he is bringing everything but the kitchen sink to prove he is the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time, that men are dominant and women are weak. All of a sudden, Debra shows up, and says Chyna will be the new Intercontinental Champion.

Kevin Kelly interviews "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, who says he does not feel sorry for Triple H. He is surprised that the rattlesnake didn't die, and that he had no way of knowing the rattlesnake would bite Triple H. If he has to drive to the hospital to get the belt, he will do it, but either way, he will be WWF Champion on Sunday.

The New Brood (Jeff and Matt Hardy) beat Edge and Christian to tie the Terri Runnels Invitational at two wins a piece despite a double cover where Jeff covers Edge and Christian covers Matt. It is explained that Jeff and Edge were the legal men, and Christian and Matt were not.

We see GTV footage where WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon meets with The British Bulldog, telling him that this is not a trick. Stephanie says she does not remember what happened, but she has seen the video footage and says he is not to blame and that her father, WWF Chairman Vince McMahon, is also not to blame. She says that Vince, her brother and WWF co-owner Shane, and Test are all upset. She does not know what they are going to do, but before anything can happen, she wants to talk to him and ask him to publicly apologize. The Bulldog says he is sick of apologizing, and says this is a waste of his time.

Before the next match, The Godfather gives Mideon a choice between wrestling him or having one of the hos for entire night. Mideon calls The Godfather a dumbass before saying he doesn't do hos and asks if he has any farm animals. The Godfather asks Mideon if he is some kind of sicko, and beats him up.

It is reported that Triple H is on his way back to the arena from the hospital.

Before the next match, Mankind says that as he and The Rock head into their last match together, it has been a hard and bumpy road, but he would not trade this for anything. He then says "Hey hey! My my! Rock 'n Sock will never die!"

The Rock 'n Sock Connection (The Rock and Mankind) beat The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) to become the WWF Tag Team Champions for a third time.

Before the finish, Billy Gunn pushes Mankind into referee Earl Hebner. Crash Holly shows up and hits Mankind with a baseball bat, and Hardcore Holly hits Billy Gunn wit with one of the tag titles. Mankind gets his arm over Billy Gunn for the three count and the tag team titles. The Rock is not happy about the situation.

Disco Inferno retains the WCW Cruiserweight Championship against Kaz Hayashi. During the match, Disco Inferno asks Tony Schiavone if the match is being shown in Japan. When he is told that the match is worldwide, Disco sends Kaz Hayashi right into the table. In typical Brain fashion, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan moves his hands away from each other like a baseball umpire and yells "Safe!"

Thomas Haddon of Northumberland, Pennsylvania is this week's Mayhem winner.

In this week's Mayhem Match of the week, Meng beats Konnan by pinfall after countering a Sunset Flip powerbomb into a Tongan death grip.

Nash says he is still retired, and Hall says his back sore from bending over backwards carrying the company, and says he will hang out with Nash and watch Goldberg. Nash gives a shout-out to "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes wishing him a happy birthday, then tells America "We're getting the band back together!" Nash then says they will return in July 2012 (which ends up being inaccurate, though not entirely off the mark, as they would be TNA World Tag Team Champions in 2010 as part of The Band).

Before God and his family, he will do what he wants how he wants to do it, and at Halloween Havoc, he will train, say "one damn prayer," and kick Sting's ass.

Douglas then confronts Benoit over coming to the arena with Bret "the Hit Man" Hart and accepting a match with him, saying he stands with them or against them.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for October 11, 1999

RAW

This week, Robert James Marella, better known as Gorilla Monsoon, passed away at the age of 62.

WWF Chairman Vince McMahon shows up to start tonight's show. On behalf of the World Wrestling Federation, Vince says it feels good to be in Atlanta, Georgia. He then introduces the man who could become WWF Champion this Sunday at No Mercy: "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. Austin shows up. Austin says that for the last two months, he has been on the sidelines due to one particular asshole: Triple H. He has a message for Triple H: tonight, he is back, "you dumb son of a bitch." Ever since he had been gone, Triple H shows up and attacks Jim Ross and rattlesnakes, and says that does not scare him. When he gets him in the ring at No Mercy, he can rest assured that the WWF Championship is coming back to him. Right now, he is a little pissed off and he does not feel like waiting until No Mercy, and tells Triple H to come to the ring as he has something for him. Triple H shows up, and he tells Austin he hears him running his mouth, then Austin tells Triple H he has 40,000 people calling him an asshole. Triple H says that is really 40,000 people that he does not care if they live or die. He tells Austin he could walk down to the ring, and says there is not one person in the crowd who does not think he could rip him from one end of Atlanta to the other, but seeing as he is in the driver's seat, he is not doing that. He says Sunday will come soon enough, and says he does not have to scare Austin anymore as he has looked into his eyes and has seen that he is scared, as deep down inside, Austin knows that on Sunday, he cannot beat him. Triple H says nobody can beat him, as he is "The Game." After some more "asshole" chants, Triple H changes his mind and heads towards the ring, then circles it before slapping the headset off Jim Ross' head before shoving him again. Jim Ross finally has it with Triple H, and hits him from behind with the commentary table fan. Austin takes advantage of the situation and beats Triple H up at ringside.

Extreme Nation - ECW on TNN recap for October 8, 1999

The show starts with Paul Heyman advertising an interview with Tammy Lynn Sytch (formerly Sunny), which plans to blow the roof off the wrestling industry by describing the trials and tribulations of being a female superstar in the wrestling world in the late 1990s. Joey Styles goes so far as to say that this interview is an exposé. We then see Sytch in action at ECW Arena in August 29, 1998, followed by a short video package of Sytch.

In a replay from Anarchy Rulz, Tajiri beats Super Crazy and Little Guido in an elimination three-way dance.

We see the interview with Tammy Lynn Sytch. Sytch says that at the now-defunct Smokey Mountain Wrestling, "we felt like we were really cool, we felt on top of the world at that moment." In the WWF, she received her big break became Sunny, and quickly rose in popularity, receiving fame and adulation. We got back to Sytch, who mentions that there is a whole website dedicated to her feet, and says there are better parts of her than her feet to look at (although she admits she likes her feet). However, fame took its toll. Sytch says there are many reactions to the pressure put on her, and prescription drug abuse was one of the worst. She took Soma - also known as Carisoprodol - and says drugs were very easy to come by. One of her friends even died from mixing Soma with alcohol. That friend was Louie Spicolli, who had a fun night with friends when he combined Soma with alcohol, then went back home, went to sleep and never woke up aside for one time at six in the morning to turn off his answering machine before choking to death due to the paralyzing effect from combining Carisoprodol with alcohol.

In a replay from Anarchy Rulz, 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.

We see more of the interview with Tammy Lynn Sytch, who says that she was considered "old" by 1997, even though she was only 24. She mentions how she was known as "the Kliq chick," since she was nice to the Kliq - Kevin Nash (Diesel), Scott Hall (Razor Ramon), Paul Levesque (Hunter Hearst Helmsley), Shawn Michaels and Sean Waltman (The 1-2-3 Kid) - and they were nice to her, and she even made their hotel reservations for them. She preferred to be pushed on her own talent instead of whom she is friends with, dating with, sleeping with or eating dinner with, and that she would rather be herself and pushed as what she does and how she can do it. When she left the WWF, it was like a weight was lifted off of her shoulders, as she felt she could relax, have a home and relax, but she felt she wasn't there yet and that she was digging a deeper hole for herself. She was too relaxed in her environment to the point that she had her first drink at home, because she didn't have any pills to get her to go to back to sleep. There have been times that when her dad and niece died, she wanted to be with them. Her niece Stacy was only 16 when she died, and when she went to the hospital, she was on life support. When he held her hand, Stacy went cold and she could not let her go. There were some nights when she hoped she would not wake up the next morning, and says it was the worst feeling in the world to know that you don't care if you wake up the next morning. The interview ends with Sytch you can talk about your Sables and your Debras, your Nitro Girls and your Dawn Maries, but she is going to set the standard by which every girl in the business in the world again, because she is alive and she is back.

After what happened on Raw, the mud ring is the only place women should be wrestling. He then announces that Miss Kitty will be wrestling in the mud, and since the women of the WWF are "obsessed with their cleavage," the only way to win is by ripping the opponent's top off. He tells Miss Kitty that she has been apologizing for the last few days, and if she wants to get back on his good side, she cannot back out. He also has words for Chyna: there will be no backing out of the Good Housekeeping Match at No Mercy, because he will show no mercy.

Terry Taylor interviews The British Bulldog, who says he only cares about the WWF Championship.

We get another look at the room with the poisonous snakes, then we see "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and Jim Ross on a hunting trip in footage from earlier this week. Austin shoots at a pumpkin with a photograph of Triple H taped to it with a hunting rifle with a scope. Austin says he is trying to relax, but he cannot because of Triple H and the payback he wants to give him to him. He says Triple H will feel what he has been feeling for the last two months when he was sitting at home, and that nobody does payback better than him. Triple H really has his attention, and says that No Mercy is not a game and that the WWF Championship will come back to him. He refuses to give Triple H any mercy.

Triple H is in the poisonous snake room. He apologizes for what he did to Jim Ross, then says that while he is not a hunter like "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, he is a good trapper and that he is not afraid of rattlesnakes, especially Austin. He says the best way to kill a rattlesnake is to cut the head off, but that is too good for Austin. He plans to one-up that at No Mercy, and as he places a snake in a bag and ties the bag up, he says that Austin is all show and that all that noise is just a smokescreen, as Austin is scared. After he lays Austin down with the Pedigree, he will finish what he started at No Mercy. He then takes a sledgehammer and smashes the bag with it after he says he will say goodbye to Austin one last time, before stomping on the snake.

Triple H shows up with the bloodied bag containing the dead snake. He says that one week from Sunday, he will hurt "Stone Cold" Steve Austin even worse than he did the snake. He says that Austin will be headed back to Texas in a bodybag after No Mercy.

Terry Taylor tries to interview Triple H, who leaves. He proceeds to interview Val Venis, who says The Rock should be happy he is receiving a little extra exposure due to him and Mr. Rocko, and he plans to take The Rock to "planet Reality," as while The Rock is great, he has not faced the greatest. He says that when The Rock looks into his eyes, he will realize without a shadow of a doubt that he is facing one of the greatest up-and-coming athletes in the WWF today. Suddenly, Mankind attacks Venis, and Mankind is then attacked by The British Bulldog. Referees and officials have to restore order when Venis and Bulldog gang up on Mankind.
