The Raw Attitude Podcast

April 25th / 26th, 1999: Sal from WrestleMania SalVation once again joins the Podcast to break down "Backlash 1999," a show with quite a few interesting twists and turns! And then we dive into the following night's episode of "Monday Night Raw," which features one of Henry's all-time favorite "Raw" moments! "Backlash 1999" Card: WWF Champion "Stone Cold" Steve Austin vs. The Rock w/special guest referee Shane McMahon Triple-H vs. X-Pac The Undertaker vs. Ken Shamrock Mankind vs. The Big Show in a Boiler Room Brawl WWF Intercontinental Champion The Godfather vs. Goldust WWF Hardcore Champion Hardcore Holly vs. Al Snow The New Age Outlaws vs. Jeff Jarrett & Owen Hart The Acolytes & Mideon vs. The Brood April 26th, 1999 "Monday Night Raw": After kidnapping Stephanie McMahon last night, The Undertaker is forcing Vince McMahon to sign over control of the WWF in order to get her back. But before that can happen, it appears that 'Taker has some plans of his own for Stephanie: marrying her against her will in front of the world! Because The Rock was unsuccessful at regaining the WWF Championship last night, Shane McMahon proceeds to fire him from The Corporation... so Rock challenges him to a match tonight! The dysfunctional team of X-Pac & Kane defend their WWF Tag Team Titles against Gangrel & Edge, but a post-match bloodbath throws things into further disarray. Mankind & The Big Show team up to face Corporation members The Big Boss Man & Test. A frustrated Billy Gunn claims that he will defeat Triple-H tonight because fellow DX member X-Pac couldn't get the job done last night. WWF Intercontinental Champion The Godfather puts his belt on the line against Jeff Jarrett, with an interesting stipulation: if Jarrett loses, Debra must become one of Godfather's hoes. Ken Shamrock is scheduled to face Bradshaw, but Faarooq sees to it that the match never even gets under way. D'Lo Brown steps into the ring with Val Venis, and it appears that Nicole Bass is still after "The Big Valbowski." Plus, we get introduced to two brand new terrible gimmicks: Beaver Cleavage and Meat! Meanwhile over on "Nitro," an increasingly desperate WCW gives us not one, but TWO World Title changes on free TV! Enjoying the Podcast? E-mail us at [e-mail] or Tweet us @RawAttitudePod!
