[@MrSimythe]

RIP Crash Holly, aka Mr. 24/7.

[@stingrey1571]

No mention of the rock vs mr ass feud/match. Where rock completely destroyed any hope of billy gunn becoming a main eventer.

[@thetruecish]

Imagine if Chyna became WWF Champion at SummerSlam '99. That would have been huge.

[@RippervilleTV]

i would have sued anything that moved for days if that happened. hahha what a clusterfuck

[@BrendorTheEndor]

I love how you were talking about how most of Shane's matches are No Holds Barred, and then you show a picture of his match from WM33, which was technically just an ordinary singles match.

[@bonman9]

As a Minnesotan who attended this PPV, we simultaneously thought it was hilarious and lost our sh*t that Ventura refereed that match.

[@dylan2na652]

If Eric Bishoff is Adams dad does that make Eugene his cousin

[@thefacethatrunstheplace4762]

HHH is a legend

[@distemic]

Minnesota native. I had a "my governor can beat up your governor" tshirt

[@jayNicks10]

I Didn’t like the way he opened this video. “1999 on the whole wasn’t the strongest year for the WWE.” A very controversial statement to say the least.

[@irronthagr8113]

I remember watching this ppv live. This was my favorite era of wrestling. The next night on Raw, Triple H won his first world title.

[@DrSlasher]

Who else noticed Kevin Nash in the back in the picture of the male strippers?

[@DrSlasher]

Polymath Really? I thought they sneaked him in there. Thanks for the info

[@cbfall]

I did!!

[@marcjohn9404]

I was at this Summerslam with my dad. It was awesome, I remember being a big fan of The Acolytes and being stoked that they won.

[@subjectivistJ]

Marc John I was there with my dad too (RIP dad)!!! I had a blast being 15 and wearing a Harley Davidson beret like HHH wore back in the day, with my own long blonde hair hanging out :) We were waaay up in the nosebleed section. I was so stoked that so many superstars from the roster at the time were featured (especially my faves the Undertaker and HHH) - and having Ventura there was craaaazy because I'd been good friends w/his campaign manager's kid at Arlington high school. Man... I wish I could rewatch the whole ppv...

[@miketsamasiros3960]

Hey Plumpy, just wanted to let you know that when doing #4 You missed a ppv. Armageddon 2003 was also a ppv where all 3 major titles changed hands. All of evolution won gold that night. Flair and Batista beat Dudley boys for tag titles, Randy Orton beat RVD for IC title, and HHH beat Goldberg and Kane for world title.

[@MrJLov13]

I think he's only counting the WWE Championship for the trifecta, not the World Heavyweight Championship.

[@thevoid99]

that test/shane match was the best match of the night and certainly a major surprise that made both guys look great. it was better than i thought it would be. test should've been a solid mid-card guy that would've been fun to watch while shane was just fucking awesome.

[@Zachi.9]

1999 was a good year

[@KiraKibosh]

These comments sections are getting worse with each passing SummerSlam.

[@benconley612]

Nice vid Adam

[@jcace13]

I believe Austin referenced HHH having to pick him out of the ropes like saving a kitten from a tree 😆

[@Dailyfootballbytes]

Crash Holly deserves a spot in the HOF even though he died he's what made the hardcore title great

[@jtee5723]

THAT WWE SHOW agreed! 💯%

[@DestinyZX1]

THAT WWE SHOW big time. Little Elroy Jetson.

[@adamturner749]

Politicians going bat shit crazy over Ventura appearing at summerslam 99 and not befitting of the office. Fast forward 18 years and the current president of the United States of America is a WWE hall of famer who helped shave Vince's head and took a stunner at wrestlemania in front of 60,000 + in attendance and millions watching at home!

[@ciaranmurren]

The current RAW current tag team championship isn't a continuation of the WWF tag team championship. That's WWE's own canon.

[@marcus813]

I really enjoyed that Mean Street Posse angle. I don't know why I often forget about those dudes.

[@chrisl470]

1999 wasn't the strongest year for WWE... yeah whatever you say

[@markmccallum475]

original plan had for Chyna to go over but then Jesse to refuse to give her the belt by saying, "I hate women and the Chinese. I refuse to count to three." At which point Austin would have hit her from behind with a vending machine he had taken from someone in the crowd. Jesse counts to three and then hugs Austin. True story.

[@brandonshadow775]

Mark Mccallum A hole fucking vending machine?

[@CanadianGuitarist]

I literally doubled over laughing at the idea of Austin taking a vending machine from a fan.

[@TBiesel]

4:06 Happened at mania this year. Universal WWE World Raw Tag IC

[@ImmortalRimas]

Yeah the main event of SummerSlam 1999 was kinda a cluster fuck and WWF back in 1999 @ that point already had way too title changes almost boarding on WCW 2000. I would have booked Austin to retain the title @ that SummerSlam and have him keep and then drop it @ Survivor Series 1999 instead but without having him actually drop it himself as I still would have kept the Hit and Run angle because it would have made his 2001 comeback even better as he now would have been on not only a revenge mission but a quest for the title he never lost too. I would have then booked Triple H to win his first and vacated (after Austin's Hit and Run incident) WWF World Championship against The Rock in the Main Event of Survivor Series 1999

[@ramboluib2752]

Next is Summerslam 2000. One of the wildest Slams ever.

[@robinpottratz4157]

Fascinating Fact: The bar where Al Snow defeated the Boss Man for the Hardcore title is now a strip club

[@Krontok]

My first wrestling show, this made me a fan

[@andysavage4991]

Jesse Ventura is the GOAT. Navy SEAL, governor, and WWE Wrestler.

[@doggyrusev627]

Andy Brown also guy who was in the good prediter film

[@MrGeo-EmitFodrol]

1998 1999 were the 2 best years

[@MA-vd3ln]

I tell ya the WWE title was all over the place during the summer of 1999😂😂😂😂

[@MC-mf7zj]

Triple H before mid 1999 was the most boring, terrible over pushed wrestler, he was worse then billy gunn. Triple h was terible

[@danielmurcia6256]

I'm still waiting of the "Fascinating facts about Survivor Series and Royal Rumble"

[@DestinyZX1]

Ser Arthur Dayne and you know Justin Henry aka Sexy Justin will deliver

[@chrishubbard64]

Plumpy = Mumblemaster Supreme. Make that his next name to introduce himself with if he loses the next wrestlemania bet.

[@thetruecish]

I legit never heard of "Super Astros" before this video.

[@wweforlife6795]

*Jericho debut was one of the best* *believe that* Yeah i take that line from roman

[@kaneresurrected196]

Extra fact- X-pac's Mum, or Gran, got hit with a tomato thrown by a fan during his and Kane's match against Taker/Big Show.

[@Powerhouse1]

Yeah, summerslam hates Steve Austin

[@ENigma-um8zw]

I was at SummerSlam ‘99 along the entryway lol it was awesome, I was like in 7th grade

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

I didn't realized and remember that there were three title changes in this SS event.

[@hacksawjimduggan1705]

I remember this PPV! I ate 3 boxes of jerkey and drank 4 L of Lakewater. HooOoOooOoooah!

[@DJDoubleCee]

I think Stone Cold should of dropped the title to Triple H that night. It would of made more sense in my opinion.

[@dsd310580]

The reason Mankind was added and won is because Stone Cold refused to drop the belt to Triple H, deeming him not in the same league. And he was right. He wasn’t. Of course, that would all change when Triple H destroyed Chyna’s life to hook up with the boss’ Daughter and creative head.

[@joeytarintino7032]

This was one of the best ppv

[@GameVids321]

Wwe and politics, hahaha no way.... **See's on the news that Kane is the mayor of Nashville** "What?"

[@jb888888888]

I heard (don't recall where) that Jesse Ventura didn't want to be seen awarding the WWF Championship to a Heel - it would be bad politically for Governor Ventura back home - so that's why Mankind won.

[@mage189]

We've got a long history of watching Wrestling in Minnesota so people were used to the more unusual story lines. :)

[@NathanArnoldCharging]

It's a bit bizarre seeing myself in the crowd at 18yrs old, going back and watching this. Anyway, an 11th interesting fact is that Zakk Wylde was in attendance during the Shane/Test match (he was originally supposed to be involved with the outcome, but it was nixed at the last minute). I know this because he sat right next to me, behind the MSP couch, and I was markin' due to being a big Ozzy fan, he told me why he was escorted to that seat. Zakk was also in the bar across from the Target Center, who handed Al Snow a bottle to bash the Bossman with.

[@MrCubFan415]

NAC That's awesome!

[@subjectivistJ]

I was there with my dad - 15 years old - but waaay up in the nosebleed seats in like section 204 or 205. It's awesome to run into someone here on KZbin that not only was there, but is about my age (so both our memories have that great youthful nostalgic glow) :)

[@trewilliams8411]

MANDKIND won the CHAMPIONSHIP in the MAIN EVENT of SUMMERSLAM ❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯

[@deepakostwal2905]

Plumpy is best

[@joee95]

Summer slam hates Austin

[@BlindAssassin85]

I like the elevator music. What's the name or where can I find it?

[@sirmj1059]

Why there isn't anything of Kane?

[@RippervilleTV]

he would return and wreck havoc if spoken of

[@wilhelmbeaston8003]

6:46 I hate that somebody photoshopped the F off of Mean Gene's jacket patch!

[@Lord_of_darkness978]

It was also the end of the smoking skull belt 😭

[@naywahn]

No mention of The Rock vs Mr. Ass in a Kiss-My-Ass Match???!!! JR and King's comments MADE that match!

[@weslockman5049]

I actually was at that PPV I also remember the Hardcore Title changed to. I also knew the lady in the Kiss my ass match she was also known as Mrs Ass.

[@fish203]

Frank Reynolds 0:14 always sunny in Philadelphia

[@RudyHarlanPhantomBoom]

This is also the PPV where Kane debuted his inverted attire right?

[@rougeclips9438]

I can't wait until John Morrisons return at summer slam it's gonna be awesome

[@multiyapples]

Interesting facts.

[@josephdeviva5989]

Not just the 3 titles changed hands but all titles changed hands yup wwe title tag team titles Intercontinental & European titles in the same fucking match and the Hardcore title all changed hands at this event

[@dhvsheabdh]

Vince Russo left, it's not that they went crazy with the storylines.

[@johnmcnamara8741]

One thing about the attitude era they could overcome bad booking easily

[@zanethind]

Don't need a Tag Turmoil match to get paid just be like Jinder Mahal who basically isn't on the show and isn't even backstage and yet gets paid tons for literally posting stuff on social media. But now he manages Indus Sher wow Jinder you're finally back! And getting paid for actually being a part of the wrestling business somehow

[@sunnywwefan]

First ppv I ever watched, sky sports 1 12:00am

[@thatmanwassethrollins4586]

If Jinder Mahal beats Nakamura at Summerslam, I'll tweet my displeasure.

[@tobifadipe2740]

He missed it was the last summerslam of the 90s

[@BelgotLeons]

excuse me adam but didnt evolution capture the world, ic and tag title at armagadon 04 ? you know just checking you still know your facts

[@JoeLaFon3]

D Lo Brown..wow i haven't heard that name in years

[@1toast]

No facts about the Kiss My Ass match between The Rock and Billy Gunn?

[@mdjans35]

I was at the Raw the next night where Triple H won the title.

[@fordevoGAME]

Up the notification squad!!!

[@WutTheDeuceGaming]

I was so hype when Mick won that match. Then........instant disappointment when Triple Douche won it the next night.

[@job489]

WOW, Austin just has rotten luck in Summerslam.

[@tiffa808]

Crash holly is the Houdini of hardcore.

[@Madashell23]

1999 - Bizarre Summer

[@TheDevilsOwl505]

So... Henry didn't win the belts on the PPV? Why is this part of the PPVs list?

[@Dynamite913]

Summerslam 3 Austin 0

[@jliller]

Will Blamphed ever get to go back to using his name?

[@wienerschnietzel8983]

Wait, so the good part of the attitude era only lasted 1 year?

[@JoeLaFon3]

❗Top 10 High Flyers❗ w/ Plumpy pretty please

[@GNVS300]

Is it just me or is this really quiet?

[@AwoL205]

#1 stone cold didn't wanna put over triple h! am I right? let's see

[@alphadogg64]

Am I the only one wondering what WWE will do with Jinder Mahal after he loses the WWE Championship?

[@TheUncleTedKzy]

alphadogg64 Nothing. They might do nothing after he loses the championship

[@BmanTheChamp]

He may have a rematch or two but yeah, evil foreign heel who hates America" usually fizzles out sooner or later and that person is left floundering.

[@RippervilleTV]

asian kane

[@saintrocketIX]

Plumpy should go by "Plumpied."

[@yeahyeahyea7593]

Dont let this distract you from the fact that Matt Hardy still isnt broken

[@Halloweenman33]

Since he wasn't broken when he returned, I guess you could call him Repaired Matt Hardy (sorry, horrible joke. couldn't resist)

[@bigdawgproductions9912]

Nonstop Heel #PushCesaro #BuryBayley #BuryRoman Look at his twitter, you mark

[@WhelmedButReady]

I Love You Plumpy! Please never die
