I’ve always enjoyed this show, and I truly believe this PPV was the peak of the mountain we call the Attitude Era. It marked the end of the original Austin vs McMahon feud, the end of the Austin vs Undertaker feud, and was officially the beginning of Triple H being a World Title contender. While the Attitude Era continued on for a few more years, this really stands out as the end of the first half of it to me.
Yeah it's all downhill from here imo ... not a fan of the McMahon Helmsley era and we'll soon be losing both Austin and Taker for a very long time, so I for one enjoyed the rivalry while it lasted.
@@dan_gerous87As a kid, I didn't mind it. Rewatching this as an adult, oh boy. It is hard to watch. I agree with everything you said. It's all down from here.
@@nickbanks7954I mean things did pick back up from backlash 2000 to WM 17 so it’s not ALL downhill like you think. Late 99 to late 2000 was just a slow period where things felt kinda Stale.
Vince ruins any strong heel faction when they got something good going. He meddled with Undertaker's ministry. He meddled with HHH's McMahon- Helmsley era. He meddled in the 2Man Power Trip. Hollywood Rock/Hogan feud. The Corporation and so on...
@@LarsOfTheMohicans @eastsidereviews727 I also have watched X-Pac saying that the European title meant a lot to him too and were his best moments. They always devalue the European title, but not only did it look cool, but they did have some great matches. The D'Lo/X Pac feud. Shane/X Pac. Malenko/Scotty. William Regal having a good run with it etc.
I randomly stumbled across wrestling bios almost 2 years ago and was instantly hooked thank u wrestling bios for all the hard work keeping me entertained weekly 😊
💯. And the WWF had big-named faces to keep him in check and not let his ego/stroke get too big during that time (unlike the RA era, where he becomes borderline insufferable at times).
@@dukes1993724Keep him in check? From what? Austin and Rock had the same boring promos and brawls every night. Didn't matter if it was on TV or ppv. They needed HHH to keep them relevant and hot. Their schticks were getting stale before they got to work extensively with HHH that summer and fall respectively. Tell me, if HHH isn't pushed in 99 and Austin doesn't get hurt hypothetically, who in the hell would you have Austin or Rock feuding with to keep fans interested in wanting to see Rock or Austin's rivalry going into and through 2000? Remember, Kurt hasn't debuted yet. Jericho isn't there yet, and he certainly wasn't going to get main event billing three weeks into the company. Fans stopped caring about Ministry Taker. Austin beat Vince yet again and he's banned. Austin and Rock beat Mankind and Dude Love so much he isn't taken seriously.
I've heard HHH didn't like the 'My Time' theme but I really do. It's funny because at one point it was also used by Chyna and would later be used by Stephanie.
It's not funny. It makes sense. Chyna and Stephanie are connected to his character. Of course they'd use his theme til they have one of their own and until his new one is ready.
I do love this show and how it ended in the main event. I love how they finally elevated HHH into main event status in 1999 after being deemed "mid-card for life" for doing the infamous "Curtain Call". I do also love the evolution of Edge & Christian post-Brood during this year as well.
@WildDanHibiki I remember playing late into the nights with that game on PS2. I remember the first time I went against Shin Akuma. I was like, "Wait!? There is another boss!" You had to reach certain conditions to reach Shin Akuma.
They didn't keep you at the bottom of the barrel so you could say goodbye to your roody poo friends at Madison Square Garden, no. The Rock says they kept you at the bottom of the barrel BECAUSE YOU ABSOLUTELY SUCK! 😂😂 One of the most slept on Rock promos.
@@MR.__G He actually legitimised the title for a short time lol. With the 24/7 rule it was switching hands multiple times a night mostly but when Blackman got it nobody dared fck with him, except Shane McMahon, who found out what happens...
Triple H had turned 30 around the time of the PPV, either just before or just after. Like his buddy Shawn Michaels, Triple H's career skyrocketed into the main event scene shortly after that birthday. And the next month or two will prove Triple H earned his main event spot in WWE TV. That's not a prediction....
I’ve been here since before the Monday night wars I love how you compose yourself and go through matches you are a true fan, and a true hero to those who didn’t get the chance to witness the some of the greatest moments in wrestling history. Thank you
SHIN BLACKMAN should totally make his long awaited first appearance at SUMMERSLAM 2000. I hope we get a fun special effect from you guys when he dives 30-40 feet from the entrance structure. 🔥⚡️🔥
Mideon shirt says feed your mind with a mushroom. A whole back we found out he was tripping on acid during a raw. Kinda wild. Wonder how many people noticed this back when these aired
I'll be honest, this PPV just seemed so hype for me. You really get this feeling of watching the future, seeing these guys slowly built up from jobbers > mid carders > main eventers
Yeah its sad. Even near the end of his run he only had one match on RAW against Gangrel and then a run in then rest of time up to leaving he was mainly on Smackdown so he'll not be on RTW much coming up
Great video! Shin Blackman is great, and now I kinda wish they had done something along those lines; make him super friendly before some kind of pre-match ritual, and then he becomes all business. That strap match is how I would prefer it; none of this four corners nonsense. The strap is there to keep the action up close and personal, combined with some very relaxed officiating.
Jeff Jarrett must've pissed in Austin's cornflakes to get treated like this. I refuse to believe a promo in '97 could've caused that much heat in the lockerroom for it to last two years.
They've gone on record to say all that is bullsh*t. People just decided it was reality and linked the convenient superficials and imagined a beef between them
I remember this show for three things the start of triple hs push towards the wwf title. Two the end of an era for the time being of the McMahon austin rivalry. And three the wwf setting up a billy Gunn vs rock matchup to continue the billy Gunn push that they were still interested in doing. Also one more thing the stuff with the big show that led to the undertaker big show alliance.
Late stage Attitude Era was the best time in wrestling history. I wasnt around to see the heyday of the territory days, but I lived through WWF in 1997 to 2000 and that was some of the best not only wrestling, but best television produced ever. Incredibly compelling and watchable. Wrestling will never be this good again.
1996 into 1997 is my favorite time. The personas and storylines that would dominate the next few years were just being formed. The wrestlers and writers didn't yet know the gold that they had and made for a less contrived product.
For all of us diehard home video nerds: bits of the Triple H interview were included on the “Triple H & Chyna: Our Time” VHS uncensored. It’s not a high tier release but it’s got some good segments worth taking a look at.
I got this PPV on VHS for my 7th birthday and this is it, this PPV is my ground zero for loving pro wrestling. I know the the commentary word for word 😂 It always gets 5stars from me.
Chyna was a real one. She was a big inspiration to girls watching her on TV wrestling and she was able to hang with the men in the ring. R.i.p Chyna. Thanks for all the awesome and legendary work you put into wrestling.
Rock somehow managed to bury triple h with the promo he cut on this ppv "the rock says they didn't keep you at the bottom of the barrel so you could say goodbye to your roody poo friends in Madison Square Garden, no. The Rock says, they kept you at the bottom of the barrel because you absolutely suck!" 😂😂 one of my favourite promos of all time.
@@Speedyreedy1218As a "main" storyline kinda. They would still feud, but it would be brief & Austin would focus more on the people that were around Vince, more than Vince himself
@@iDeathMaximuMII Austin fought Rock at WM15. And Backlash. And beat up Rock to help Foley win the title. This is an example of Austin feuding with a person as you say, around Vince. And this is BEFORE the *End of Era* July match.
I was not watching WWF when this event took place, but I bought the VHS after the fact and really enjoyed watching it. That clothesline from hell counter by Bradshaw on Jeff was one of the first OMG moments from that era that stuck in my memory for a while after seeing it. It was pretty sweet.
Real push for the King of the Ring winner, one month after winning he loses in a match against X-Pac and Road Dogg. They really lost faith in him quick, and even quicker in his promo with the Rock a week or 2 later.
We have finally reached the point where the WWF European Championship becomes what, I feel, it was best at being: WWF's "TV Title" for the undercard. I remember watching WWF from around this point on & really loving the European Title scene, because it truly felt like it could change hands at any point, which in turn made it feel like European Title matches were truly unpredictable. In fact, Reliving the War will see 15 European Title changes up through the end at Mania X-7, and of those only seven of those changes will happen at PPVs, with the one at X-7 actually being the last time the title would ever change hands at a PPV.
This is an interesting PPV for me, as the boom for wrestling in my regional Australian town, had quietened down by this point and the local video store had decided to stop stocking the latest wrestling videos. I wanted to see fully loaded and asked the store owner if he'd get it in and he then decided to stock after all, because apparently the previous fully loaded had hired/sold well and now that he saw at least one person that was keen to see it, he thought hed stock it. Then they kept getting the PPV's in for a few years after that. So I kinda kept the wrestling vibe going in small town Australia.
The end of the Austin vs McMahon feud which means the Attitude Era is halfway over. The next few months are kind of hard to get through, but once 2000 arrives we get the best part of the Attitude Era (I think that is due to a certain writer jumping ship to WCW in the fall of '99). Where the stories are pretty solid and the match quality improves. During the second half of the Attitude Era we get the debuts of Jericho, Kurt Angle, and the Radicalz. We'll also get Triple H was the top heel, becoming the guy you love to hate.
13:05 This would be an interesting five man faction as you have Holly and X-Pac who were Tag Champs under their 123 Kid and Sparkplugg days, and X-Pac was and is going to be again a Tag Champion with Kane while Kane, Undertaker and Big Show all go on to be the first ever WWF/E Triangle Tag Team Champions (My definition of Triangle Tag Team Champions is a tag team that wins Tag Belts in which both halves have previously held a Tag Belt with a common partner, in which Big Show and Kane completed that triangle in 2006 as both previously held Tag Belts with Undertaker), but I also picture them being a seven man faction with Billy Gunn and Albert, even though they never held WWF/E Tag Belts with any of them, but they did form short live tag teams with some of these five as Billy teamed with Big Show for a bit in 2001 and spent his final WWE year before his 2004 release teaming with Holly as The Smackdown Frontline (the team name wasn't official, but they were the main two to confront Booker T during his anti-Smackdown heel turn after being traded from Raw in 2004, sort of a recycle from Booker T's invasion from WCW in 2001) while Albert goes on to team with X-Pac in X-Factor (as a two man team after they acted too good for Justin Credible as he defects to The Alliance the next night) and then Big Show and X-Pac become a tag team in WWF/E's version of nWo and then Big Show and Albert become a team as Paul Heyman's Clients, but also Billy teaming with X-Pac while X-Pac was leading X-Factor in a tag match against The Hardyz as a one night only DX reunion then a bit of X-Factor gets mixed with Show-Gunns as Big Show and Billy teamed with Albert at Invasion against Kanyon, Stasiak and Demott, and on the August 16th 2001 episode of Smackdown, almost all of these guys were Kurt Angle's back-up during his match against Tazz
Coming here after watching blade trinity and finally realizing that Triple H was in it lol. He even pulls off a running power slam in one of the fight scenes I never recognized him as a kid!
Wrestling bios cover of Steve "Muhfuggin" Blackman vs Shane mcmahon from Summerslam 2000 is going to be legendary lol.
i can't wait when blackman sees curt hennig's face on shane at summerslam!
The birth of “The Game”!
Almost made a mistake on when HHH called himself "The Game" lol!

@@timbartschwolfman agreed! Very happy for that! Became an athletic inspiration for me back then!
It's all about the Game and how u play it Chin locks are too sweet
As a side note, the main event promo package is one of the best the WWF/E have ever done
'Somebody's gonna bleed! Somebody's gonna leave!'
I Love that line
It’s the best.
Best PPV of 1999
That bump Kane took over the top rope was gnarly.

Stone Cold stunnering Jarrett over literal years for no reason is fantasticly stupid 😂
Imagine if austin showed up in every other promotion JJ was in and still stunned him 😂😂
i detest Double J, so the more stunners he eats, the better lol !
I enjoyed D'Lo's pre match promo. Showed that he cared about winning the belt and helped make the European Title seem a bit more important.

That over the top rope body slam on Kane actually shook me a little. Looked like he took the full bump
"My Time" Triple H theme is one of the classics of the Attitude Era. Triple H is about to go on the best run of his career from late 99 to 2001.
💯. And the WWF had big-named faces to keep him in check and not let his ego/stroke get too big during that time (unlike the RA era, where he becomes borderline insufferable at times).

Knew exactly what was coming next, could see it a mile away. Still made me laugh
@Wrestling Bios Your Steve Blackman commentary on this is hilarious.

Then they kept getting the PPV's in for a few years after that. So I kinda kept the wrestling vibe going in small town Australia.
My first ever WWF PPV I owned on VHS.
Typing that made me feel old 😂
The end of the Austin vs McMahon feud which means the Attitude Era is halfway over. The next few months are kind of hard to get through, but once 2000 arrives we get the best part of the Attitude Era (I think that is due to a certain writer jumping ship to WCW in the fall of '99). Where the stories are pretty solid and the match quality improves. During the second half of the Attitude Era we get the debuts of Jericho, Kurt Angle, and the Radicalz. We'll also get Triple H was the top heel, becoming the guy you love to hate.
I loved to love HHH. Diehard since 95.
30:19 yes he most definitely would! It just took him 25 more years to remember.
13:05 This would be an interesting five man faction as you have Holly and X-Pac who were Tag Champs under their 123 Kid and Sparkplugg days, and X-Pac was and is going to be again a Tag Champion with Kane while Kane, Undertaker and Big Show all go on to be the first ever WWF/E Triangle Tag Team Champions (My definition of Triangle Tag Team Champions is a tag team that wins Tag Belts in which both halves have previously held a Tag Belt with a common partner, in which Big Show and Kane completed that triangle in 2006 as both previously held Tag Belts with Undertaker), but I also picture them being a seven man faction with Billy Gunn and Albert, even though they never held WWF/E Tag Belts with any of them, but they did form short live tag teams with some of these five as Billy teamed with Big Show for a bit in 2001 and spent his final WWE year before his 2004 release teaming with Holly as The Smackdown Frontline (the team name wasn't official, but they were the main two to confront Booker T during his anti-Smackdown heel turn after being traded from Raw in 2004, sort of a recycle from Booker T's invasion from WCW in 2001) while Albert goes on to team with X-Pac in X-Factor (as a two man team after they acted too good for Justin Credible as he defects to The Alliance the next night) and then Big Show and X-Pac become a tag team in WWF/E's version of nWo and then Big Show and Albert become a team as Paul Heyman's Clients, but also Billy teaming with X-Pac while X-Pac was leading X-Factor in a tag match against The Hardyz as a one night only DX reunion then a bit of X-Factor gets mixed with Show-Gunns as Big Show and Billy teamed with Albert at Invasion against Kanyon, Stasiak and Demott, and on the August 16th 2001 episode of Smackdown, almost all of these guys were Kurt Angle's back-up during his match against Tazz
I hope this series has been someone's first exposure to the Attitude Era, so they know they're getting the true mufuggin' lore on Steve Blackman
0:05 That Intro…
That look was like: "Wanna go riding motorcycles through the desert?"
27:08 I've watched this 10 times and can't stop laughing. 😂
This was the rise of HHH time.
The era of The Game begins.
Yeah and it SUCKED
@@coreyhall1150It was great. The past two years with Austin SUCked for me.
On a side note, Edge's hair in 1999 was a sight to behold. Best hair in the business imo.
HHH won a Slammy for his hair.
Oh man is this the beginning of the Boss Man/Al Snow rivalry.
Thank you for the effort you put into your content. Sincerely.
Coming here after watching blade trinity and finally realizing that Triple H was in it lol. He even pulls off a running power slam in one of the fight scenes I never recognized him as a kid!
His name was in the credits.
If you're getting sick of repetitive matchups you're gonna really hate HHH vs Rock for the next year
You didn’t show it. I love the bit in the main event were taker blocks a fans drink and then punches shane.
When is summerslam 99 going to get reuploaded?
Man, heat before a ppv was must see tv.
Was this Michael Hayes last official tv match?
I was on the edge of my seat when I watched this back in the day! N I jumped up n cheered for about an hour after Stone Cold won!
