Debra issuing an open challenge and saying she'd strip down if Owen and Jeff lost then seeing HHH and X-Pac sprint to the ring had me dying laughing! It's been a rough day and I needed a good laugh. Thanks, Wrestling Bios!

[@davidcurry332]

Oh 😢the how I miss the attitude era. I’m hopeful Hhh can bring it back it really needs it

[@eastsidereviews727]

Only thing that may have made that funnier would be if we saw them sprint while still putting on their gear, like the moment they heard Debra would strip they bolted down to the ring

Reminds me of how school beefs used to work where you’d only settle it when you two were on school property

[@sqectre]

It's just hard to fathom the stupidity of WCW. They really had no foresight. A small example is giving Rey Mysterio the giant killer push AFTER removing his mask. Not only did they miss out on an insane amount of sales by removing his most iconic feature before the push, but the mask removal would have been so much more impactful if it happened at the end of a much longer Nash feud.

[@RobJaskula]

I can't believe Virgil is in a featured storyline and multiple segments in *1999*!!! There's so much talent still there to do literally anything with and we're seeing VIRGIL.

[@namikstudios]

Unmasked Rey is easily the best version of his character. Far more memorable than anything he's ever done in WWE. Just wait for The Filthy Animals.

[@namikstudios]

@@RobJaskula i'd much rather watch Vincent than old Vince on the other channel who's obsessed with putting himself over. McMahon is older than Flair, Hogan, Piper, etc... yet all you ever hear from WWE is how WCW had old guys in the main event. Flair, Hogan, Piper, etc BELONGED in the damn main event picture, Billionaire Vince did not not and had no place taking that spot against Austin - booking himself in that spot to be clear. Just wait until the end of the year when Vince gives himself his own world title. He may as well have thrown the damn thing in the bin like Medusa did. Totally devalued the WWE title for all time.

[@AMFL3116]

I'm not a fan of Goldberg, but watching him lift Big Poppa Pump over his head really was impressive..

[@ciannolan9713]

What a shame that this is the last time we’ll ever see Slick Ric wrestle. A famous last match that definitely took place in 1999

[@kamenanew9867]

How can you say you can miss this raw when it has the debut of the legendary mean street posse.

[@JessCorey]

As much as Jim Ross is connected to deep wrestling memories for me, the whole Steve Williams brawl for all story really leaves a sour taste in my mouth regarding the man, but truthfully it's his signing off on Ric flair's probably worldwide sexual assault tour during his career and then casually offering up a defense of Ric flair of "Hey...he's a made guy...what can you do..?" That will forever be in my mind about how flawed he is as a human being. But how ingrained he is in the industry to think that is okay and offer up nothing to condemn it.

[@AllieRX]

5:19-5:59 This storyline here was in WWF No Mercy on the N64. In Championship Mode, after you lose the Royal Rumble match if you're one of the last people.

I’ve heard that “the game” was meant to go to Owen Hart. I wonder if it’s true and if so, how Owen would have done with it if he had gone along with it

[@zacharyscott6779]

@@josenunez150 really? I never knew anything about that! The way I've always heard the story was that Triple H was just in character and said "the game" line we all know with no clue it would become anything. That the nickname only came about because of fans the following weeks having signs calling Triple H "the game". Kind of like how Austin 3:16 was just something said then the fans made it into something bigger. But you're saying the line was actually pre-written and was supposed to be said by Owen? Wild. I never knew that.

[@firewalker1372]

WWF was so great around this time, the story line, the wrestlers, the matches, just about everything was perfect.

[@RBRSC]

They could've just had their proverbial cake with Bart Gunn too. Just go with the idea that he won in a boxing match, and setup the rematch with Dr Death at Wrestlemania and have him go over now that he's not stuck in a boxing match rules and can throw suplexes. I don't know that it would get WWF in '99 fans to care about a throwback type guy like Dr Death, but it'd have been better then wha they did.

[@pauldavis6232]

Big Boss Man was the only previous generation guy with a main event push in 1999 in the WWF and that was because of his sheer willingness to do ridiculous uber heel cartoonish nonsense. Dr Death was never going to do anything even remotely as cool and the idea he would have been a main eventer in Attitude Era WWF is laughable. 1995 against Diesel might have been realistic if Jim Ross had pull then but in the WWF's renaissance era, Hell no!

[@RBRSC]

@@pauldavis6232 If they had given him a Brock Lesnar-esque run suplexing fools, MAYBE he could overcome the "Dads favorite NWA wrestler" aesthetic. But even then, yeah. Probably upper-mid and you get one title match and then he loses and is effectively toast. Which also runs into the problem of the hypothetical opponent being Austin, who wasn't likely to be on the stiffer end of a bunch of suplexes with his neck issue, and had immeasurably more draw to protect. (Also they didn't bother with Severn or even Shamrock really to keep that kind of shooter aura, and they were better draws for the late 90s)

[@pauldavis6232]

@RBRSC The Attitude Era had an incredible number of legit main eventers and guys getting close to the main event scene at that time. I wouldn't have sacrificed any of the Attitude Era main eventers for Dr Death. If they gave Dr Death a 6 month deal in 1995 to be a credible opponent for Diesel that might have worked but Dr Death in 1998 was irrelevant and not fitting for the Era.

What wwf/e did to Bart was disgusting. He was just doing his job, and what did Vince and all his merry men do to him? They buries him.

WWF turning JR heel never worked. It didn't work in 1996, and it definitely didn't work in '99. This one was even worse because they made JR use his condition to get heat, which backfired badly.
