Ryan and Cindy end up the summer of 1999 with a look at SummerSlam 1999. We go to Minnesota and to this point, the only time a sitting Governor referees a main event. Among the many topics:
- The millennium clock hits 0 and the WWF is never, ever the same again!
A very confusing #1 contendership going into SummerSlam.A run-down of Jesse Ventura’s career and how he rose to political prominence. Once again, Debra wearing the good outfit at PPV and her pulling a fast one along with Mark Henry to help Jeff Jarrett.The tag turmoil match and the steady rising of the Edge/Christian-Hardy Boys feudA fun (Ryan’s words, not Cindy’s) hardcore match between Al Snow and the Big Boss Man that takes it to the streets of Minnesapolis. The final end to the Steve Blackman/Ken Shamrock feud, in a Lion Den’s Weapons match.A very fun Shane McMahon (!) Test (!!!) match in a Love Her or Leave Her match, including the Mean Street Posse in their Hawaiian shirt attires. The Unholy Alliance dominates the Tag Team title scene. The Rock just stuck Mr. Ass’s head in that large woman’s ass!An entertaining enough, yet still slightly disappointing main event, including the surprising ending to both the match and the show. Triple H finishing his story the night after SummerSlam.The debut of Smackdown featuring HBK turning heel and then quickly disappearing for 8 months.The formation of the Rock n’ Sock Connection, including a wild Buried Alive match featuring Triple H standing tall, until Steve Austin makes his triumphant, attempted murder return.
