    Between being hanged by Undertaker and The Brood at WrestleMania, killing Al Snow’s dog and feeding it to him, wrestling Al Snow in the Kennel From Hell match at Unforgiven, and feuding with The Big Show over Show’s dead dad, Big Bossman had a wild 1999 to say the least.

    Stephanie’s heel turn here was done brilliantly. And when she explained her motives on Raw the next night, it made total sense as well.

    • @steveharvey2102
      @steveharvey2102 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      I agree, it was almost perfect. The only thing I would have changed, actually has to do with Jeff Jarett.
      When Jeff was getting heat for his match against Chyna, he put almost every woman into the figure four, even the makeup lady and Lilian Garcia! It was like, he had lost his mind!
      He had Steph set up for the move but either Test or shane saved her :(
      I think they passed overv a great opportunity. It would have got Jeff insane heat for his title match. And Stephanie would have got a lot more sympathy and could blame Vince for not paying enough attention to keep her safe!
      Wasted opp. IMHO

  • @redbigun
    @redbigun ปีที่แล้ว +205

    Stephanie's reason for turning on her father was probably one of the best character motivations for a heel turn in WWE history because she definitely had a point that her father used her and put her in danger all for his war against Stone Cold Steve Austin.
    And she manages to be one of the most hated heels in the company which adds so much to the drama and anticipation for her inevitable comeuppance.
    The Authority angle definitely needed this version of Stephanie because she was willing to humiliate herself to get people over much like her father did unlike what we got where she rarely, if ever got her comeuppance.

    • @zoraizasim2459
      @zoraizasim2459 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      what are you talking about? her comeuppance in the Attitude Era was Rock/Jericho encouraging people to call her a slut/whore. It was really not a good time for female heel performers. "willing to humiliate herself" , you just want to call her $2 slut,admit it. Rock used to beat her ass aswell. That kind of stuff would not fly in the PG era.

    • @steveharvey2102
      @steveharvey2102 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Agree 100% But in general, you do have to give her ctedit for her insane match against her father, a few years later!
      What a crazy family!
      Thanks to all of them for the entertainment. We got our money's worth back then! Story wise of course, not when it comes to actual wrestling.

      Yeah that storyline was so official! I really miss the days when there was actually some suspense and you would actually be surprised when you seen some of these matches. Nowadays it's so predictable that I literally can call exactly what's going to happen 2 weeks before the Pay-Per-View. Also WWE has this thing where nobody can take a clean loss, so it's always some b******* some interference or roll up! What happened to the days when m************ would just count the lights, then the next night you count the lights for them! If you're good enough character those losses don't matter.

    I actually didn't remember it at the time this video came out, but rewatching this review finally flipped a switch in my head about it. I actually first started watching Smackdown, and thus wrestling in general, literally the episode before the Raw with the wedding, which was a hell of a time to try and learn what all was going on. Hearing about the wedding the next week on the Smackdown afterwards, my first thought was "Yeah, that sounds about right for how it felt like this was gonna go."

    I really miss those customized entrance stages they had back then and wished they would bring them back... Would certainly add flare to a lot of the shows they have and if there are brawls that happen then they would have a logical excuse to use the stages like they use to.

    My favorite Heel turn of ALL TIME. I was in my early teens so not entirely “smart to the business” as they say...Triple H was (and still is) my favorite wrestler at the time and I had a huge crush on Stephanie..that smile she cracks before they hug is so damn well done. I never saw it coming, blew my mind!

      Awww, agreed. I was always an HHH fan. I was the only female wrestling fan I knew as a kid. All the males who watched loved Rock or Austin. I was SO EXCITED when Stephanie turned. I was like "Finally, someone sees in him what I've always seen!"
      Even as 9yr old, I knew they were meant to be. You can't fake the way Steph beams when they exchange stares. He blushes every time he looks at her. Deeper when he grins. So sweet and evil.

    If anyone wanted a jumping on point to watch the WWF in 2000, this show and the RAW the next night imo would be the best point. Side note: the RAW following this debuts best looking stage setup with the side trons

    Best moment with The Kat, she was teaming with Lawler, she did a bronco buster, Lawler laid down in the other corner and wanted her to do it to him

    I wonder if HHH and Stephanie would've gotten together if they'd never interacted on TV. Sometimes WWE storylines really do become reality.

    As ludicrous as the story for the main event was-I totally brought into it. And I think the pre-match promo was really nicely done with some great music choices. This just felt like a very special time in WWF when things were really starting to cook. The making of HHH as main eventer which he solidified a month later in the street fight, Kurt Angle new on the scene, Jericho’s first title and that tag-team Battle Royale really highlighted the depth in that division.
    Also like JR referring to Australia’s Greg Norman as one of South Africa’s finest golfers.

    Crazy to think Rumble 2000 was just after this, that HHH/Foley feud escalated QUICK. Plus the Hardy/Dudley feud too. Not to mention Kurts streak getting choked out.

    Honestly I think the Stephanie being drugged should have been retconned into "she was never drugged" and I think it would have given her even more heat.

    D-Lo being a friend of the show,
    True Story: He was talking with some ladies and he was making them laugh and he was talking about Sammy Sosa and he was like: "Why do you think he does that gesture, it's all 'Kiss my @$$, kiss my @$$.'." lol
    And after the show he was on his way out I asked "Why do they call you D-Lo?" He said "I don't know, that's just what my mama named me."
    Good talk. 😁
