“You guys talk about being students of The Game…”
Somehow, there are way more major moments in WWF history that went down on Heat than we ever realized! On this episode of the podcast, we’re going to take a look back at this episode of WWF Sunday Night HEAT from July 25, 1999. This is the first time we’re covering an episode of Heat that takes place on the same night as a PPV!
WWF Sunday Night Heat would often air one hour before a Pay-Per-View, live on television. This is taking place before the Fully Loaded 1999 PPV, which is going to be main-evented by the “End of an Era” First Blood Match between Stone Cold Steve Austin & The Undertaker. If Austin wins, Vince McMahon is gone from the WWF. If Undertaker wins, Austin can never challenge for the WWF Championship again. We hear from the fans throughout the night on who they think will win, and we also hear from Stone Cold. Briefly. Very briefly.
But, the reason we’re checking out this show surprisingly is not because of any Stone Cold & Vince McMahon shenanigans. We’re watching this to see the infamous interview between Jim Ross & Triple H, where Triple H proclaims himself as “The Game”. He’s getting prepared for a match against The Rock at Fully Loaded 1999, and he has a lot to get off his chest, and a lot of swear words to go along with it. It’s time to shoot, jack.
We also get another look at the feud between both sides of D-Generation X, as Billy Gunn & Chyna have a lot to say about X-Pac & Road Dogg.
Of course, we can’t forget about all the action-packed matches that come with this mini episode of RAW that they call Heat! Val Venis takes on Joey Abs of the Mean Street Posse, and Test looks for revenge. Meat just got ran through by Terri Runnels, and she demands that he have a match against The Godfather. In our main event, The Corporate Ministry’s Viscera takes on former Ministry member, Christian!
