I can solve the mystery of the Jericho/X-Pac restless crowd match. I attended this dumpster nuke of a show. There was some moron with a sign that read "EAT MORE BEAVER" and was trying to get it on the hard cam. When security tried to confiscate it they began playing keep away by passing it up and down the stands. That's what everyone was jeering at. Unfortunately this distracted from a very solid and pivotal match for Jericho in hindsight. If I'm not mistaken ,once security grabbed the sign successfully, an "Eat more Beaver" chant broke out during the match also. Sigh.

Lost in Unforgiven 1999 was the fact that there were two misogyny angles run side-by-side, where we had Jeff Jarrett, who's gimmick was that he openly berated and assaulted women.. and men didn't stand up to him about that. Meanwhile, Chaz was dealing with a storyline where he supposedly was the one who domestically abused Marianna and everyone looked at him as the lowest form of life (and ultimately was revealed to be innocent), and people made sure to make his life a living hell. Yeah, before Russo left, the WWF's writing was the pits, to be honest.

I never liked the term Euro-continental. It makes it sound less prestigious than Intercontinental, given the kayfabe reason why it was called Intercontinental to begin with.

2:20 - should've asked Mankind, Big Show, Test, and Shamrock for help. Too bad they'd disbanded by this point.

1999 Big Boss Man seriously had to have been such a mood. I mean, feeding Pepper to Al Snow, Hanging at WM, dragging the Coffin of Big Show's dad, etc.

[@TravJam317]

The commentary by Mick Foley for the Kennel From Hell match that you find on his DVD is great. It makes the match almost worth watching. Also, I was live for this PPV and I can tell you that we couldn't see shit going on in this match due to the double cages, which should explain the silence from the crowd. I remember reading a review shitting on the crowd for not reacting when Head was reintroduced, but we didn't react because WE COULDN'T SEE IT!

[@t3hmaniac]

I remember the Attitude Era podcast talking about the main event. "Vince Russo's leaving AND I'M FOOKING GLAD!"

[@atenchifan]

I never understood why Luna Vachon was never given a run even a brief run with the women's title? She could have won it here temporarily!

The woman who performed the promo package's voice over was Jane Gennaro, most famous for playing the main antagonist in the original Max Payne video game, Nicole Horne. She also did the opening promo for Judgement Day 2003.

[@Djarra]

The way to make the cage in the cell work is replace the hounds with lumberjacks. Also the whole head of security angle is one that Russo would take with him when Doug Dillenger had a few matches. in WCW (although he had been a wrestler before becoming kayfabe head of security years before)

My favorite Lawler and JR quote of the show. King: "When Moolah and Mae were out here you forgot to mention where they played football at" JR: "Real funny, I know you didn't think of that one yourself so which one of the guys in the back fed you that line" It's funny cause if you listen to Prichard's podcast he would talk about how Vince used to hate how JR would mention guys athletic background's cause to him it took away the mystique of the superstar(like talking about Diesel playing college basketball or when they were the Acolytes character Bradshaw/Farooq playing college football ) so you just know that either Bruce or Vince fed that line to Lawler and were having a laugh about it.

I was watching Unforgiven 99 quite recently and was wondering too about what happened in the Jericho/X-Pac match. I did some research into it and from what I read, the crowd was reacting to a streaker that was running loose in the audience, particularly in line of the hard cam sight. You can see how they cut to different angles to avoid getting the streaker in shot. The boos came when the streaker got evacuated out from security but then I think there was a second streaker or the same streaker managed to make his way back so who really knows. Funny how we went from Streakers to Beach Balls over the years

[@andrewburgemeister6684]

Yeah, most sport events cut away when a streaker is causing havoc to discourage others from trying it. At the stadiums in my city, they fine you $5,000-$10,000 and ban you if you go on the pitch or commit extreme acts of anti-social behaviour.

@@sdfilmproductions4193 oh, we have that as well in Aussie Rules when a player scores a milestone 1000th goal or so. In terms of soccer, unfortunately we had a disgraceful incident where hooligans invaded the pitch after throwing flares around and threw a bin at the goalie’s head who they believed deliberately threw one of their flares back at them when it was unintentional and he was trying to get it off the pitch.

[@marcohavokkhaos]

Now we know why, Vince and Austin teamed up together, in 2001. Austin banished Vince, and then reinstated him, to get a title match. Austin was then run over, never getting a rematch from that screwy finish at No Mercy. Austin and Vince needed each other, so Austin could be champion and Vince would be in power.

This PPV will always be very important to me. This was the first WWE DVD/PPV I ever watched. The year was 1999. I was six years old and earlier in the day, I went with my mum to her friends house.The women's son who was a few years older than me so I wasn't very familiar with him. I'd usually just sit & watch my mum as I was a very timid shy child...well he was watching t.v, I looked at the screen and I see a man fighting a woman!.....I find out he's watching wrestling, & its a show he had recorded the night previous & the show was called Survivor Series & the match was Chyna vs Chris Jericho. I couldn't keep my eyes off the screen & I watched the rest of the PPV with him. Later on that night we were in the supermarket & I was begging my mum to buy me a Wrestling video.. She wasn't keen as it stated you needed to be 15 years old & it was like £15 to buy, but i begged & begged & she eventually gave in. When we got home I watched this PPV in full & that when i fell in love with Wrestling.

Had Shamrock come back, he would have been in the mix with Eddie, Benoit, Malenko, Saturn, Jericho, Angle, Tazz...things would have got better for him for sure.

[@DasNordlicht91]

Shamrock vs. Angle would've been a hell of a feud, especially with Kurt Angle cutting promos about how he refuses to lower himself by fighting someone who plied his craft in the outlaw world of mixed martial arts.
