WWF Smackdown!
April 29th, 1999
Debut Pilot Episode (next episode starts in August )
Hosts: Michael Cole and Jim CornetteVince McMahon and Stephanie McMahon come out with security. Vince talks about how he's done bad things, but he wants to thank Ken Shamrock, Big Show, and most especially wants to thank Stone Cold Steve Austin.  Stephanie also thanks Shamrock, Big Show and Austin for saving her on RAW. She says she was taken against her will, stripped of her clothes, and was forcibly dressed for an unholy wedding and that she never felt so powerless in her life. She says that Taker kept touching her and that he kept whispering that she was his. She once again thanks Austin and tells Taker to burn in hell. Vince wants to make a promise to Austin but before he does he wants to call out his son Shane McMahon. Shane walks out and gets on the mic. 
Shane: Don't even start with me dad because I know what you're going to say to me. I admit, I didn't help my sister, I didn't make the Corporation run out when we had the chance too. I thought long and hard about it and wanted to be strategic about the situation because no court of law was going to accept that wedding in the place. But the fact is this out here...between the two of you ha...it just goes to show who the favorite one always was. It was always Stephanie dad, she was always the one you favoured. After all the painstaking years of being under your roof, trying to live to your expectations it's not enough. I've taken beatings, I've taken Stone Cold stunners, I've done everything for you. Dad, what business does Stephanie have in the WWF? Honestly tell me? Are you trying to replace me? Vince: What in the world are you talking about son? Shane: You can have your stupid Corporation, in fact I quit Vince: Now come on son... Stephanie: Shane, I don't understand why your jealous, but I have always looked up to you, my big brother. I've always been in your shadow, so I don't know who is brainwashing you in thinking this way... Shane: Shutup Stephanie, to be honest, I wish you had accepted the Undertaker's proposal. Shane leaves as Steph and Vince are upset. After the Rock and Austin meet up despite being rivals and making some form of peace between the two, backstage Shane is seen talking to some members of the Ministry and he shuts down the camera that caught him in the act. The Rock & Stone Cold fought The Undertaker & Viscera to a No Contest as Shane makes his way out and calls for the bell when Taker was pinning Austin for the three count. Even though Austin kicked out right at 2 Shane still had the bell rung as he tries to pull a screwjob. Vince rushes out and demands that the match restart, but Shane punches Vince! Soon the Ministry run in and the Rock and Austin clean house. They start beating up the Ministry on the outside as the Corporation comes out to stop some members of the Ministry. However Taker is out and throws Vince in the ring. Shane gets in a few cheap shots and Vince collapses as Shane and Taker shake hands for Smackdown to go off air.  |

WWF RAW is WAR
May 3rd, 1999
Hosts: Jim Ross and Jim CornetteShane McMahon makes his way out with the whole Ministry of Darkness (Taker, Bearer, Bradshaw, Farooq, Mideon, Viscera, and the Brood).  Shane: I know what you're all thinking, why in the world would I join the Ministry. My father has already found someone he wants to replace me, my father has ruined the WWF and turned it into a clown show I mean look at him thanking Stone Cold Steve Austin, the same Stone Cold who at every turn wanted to ruin us. Vince is deranged, the man has gone soft and old. So I'm turning away from his loft and going cold. I found a new path, for the past few weeks I've read a copy of the "good book" that Paul Bearer carries, I heard the stories and heard from the wise words of the Undertaker, and it all make sense. I'm a believer. All those who oppose the Darkness will perish. JR says that Shane has clearly been brainwashed by the Ministry. Taker: Vince...I have taken...the heir to the throne of the WWF. I have taken your son by my side...The power he craves for, his will and my own shall be one. The WWF will be ours as the "Higher Power" demands it. Vince McMahon walks on stage with the Corporation (Triple H, Test, Bossman, Chyna, Pete Gas and Rody). The Big Show and Ken Shamrock also join Vince and return to the Corporation as it becomes more of a "tweener" stable.  Vince: Shane, you've made your choice I just never figured you would become a fanatic. But if you think I'm going to give up guess again. I've got the Corporation by my side stronger then ever and have brought back the Big Show and Ken Shamrock into the fold. Undertaker you may have taken my son, but I'll take something else dear to you. You've threatened me and the WWF for far too long and I promise you I will make you pay. Shane: Shutup dad, how about we settle it tonight, you and I in the ring. Vince: I have no interest in getting in the ring with you. Shane: O I will make you, you watch... Stone Cold (c) fought the Rock to a No Contest after the Ministry get involved and Taker gets in the chokeslam on Austin. Taker wants a title shot. |

Vince: (laughs) I think you might want to take a look at the Titantron... Paul Bearer is being dragged by someone into a broiler room. It's Mankind!  Mankind starts beating up on him and even grabs a bat threatening to destroy Paul who is the Ministry's "Head Priest". Taker and the Ministry rush to the back to find him as Shane look at Vince in disgust.  Vince: I told the Undertaker that I would hurt him and you forget that I am the owner of the WWF so tonight Shane I'm putting you in a handi-cap match against...The Rock AND Stone Cold Steve Austin!

Austin wants to throw in one more stunner and lands it for the pin and win.  Winner: Stone Cold & The Rock via pinfall
Vince is out on stage laughing, meanwhile as this was happening backstage the Undertaker finds Paul Bearer who is tied up to a chair all bloodied up. Taker wants vengeance and rolls his eyes back calling on the "Greater Power" for "help" for RAW to go off air. |

EMT's are there and revive Linda who Vince is completely in tears holding her in his arms that she's alright. The PPV opens with heavy security as Vince and Stephanie walk in the back. Vince is a broken man, as he tells security to protect his daughter at all costs and that he doesn't trust her being at home anymore. Vince wants Shane, he wants to know why he would do this to his own mother. Shane comes out to cut a promo first before his match:  Shane: You know dad I know you're wondering why would I do this to mom, why would I allow it to happen. What I did was what the Greater Power demands, a "great sacrifice". I love my mother as most sons do more than anything, and I had to make a great sacrifice to continue on as the "good book" demands. For what you did to the High Priest, that's on you Vince. That's on you! Vince McMahon def. Shane McMahon via pinfall.

Stone Cold Steve Austin (c) via pinfall to become the NEW WWF Champion.
Austin fought hard and long, but Paul Bearer manages to throw powder from the urn into Austin's face as Austin starts "choking" for Taker to land a chokeslam and tombstone for the win. Paul Bearer calls for druids to bring a casket out. Austin struggles to get back up still coughing from whatever that powder was. Taker kicks down Austin, Austin fights back with all that he's got, but Taker lands a chokeslam on Austin into the casket! They lock it up and taker Austin away! Taker celebrates his win with the Ministry as the PPV goes off air.  |

WWF RAW is WAR
May 31st, 1999
Hosts: Jim Ross and Jerry LawlerLast week's RAW was a full tribute to Owen Hart and in this timeline a whole live RAW show was canceled (refunds were given though the show was shown on the Titantron if people wanted to watch it for free). The show allowed performers to dedicate a whole two hours for Owen all in a shoot. Some of Owen's greatest matches were shown including his best match vs. Bret at Wrestlemania X. Even Austin made an appearance making a toast on TV and drinking a beer saying farewell to Owen. This week on RAW, storylines and the show is back. Over the Edge highlights are shown with Austin being taken away in a casket by druids. Vince opens RAW in the ring with several Corporate members.  Vince: I've had enough of the Ministry of Darkness, I've had enough of the Undertaker and this so-called Higher Power. Why doesn't the Higher Power reveal himself? What you did to my wife was the last straw and then you decided to abduct Stone Cold who has been missing ever since. Dammit give us back Stone Cold. As much as Steve Austin and I hate each others guts with a passion dammit he is still part of the WWF and doesn't deserve what came to him.  Undertaker: (is shown on the titantron in a misty graveyard with Paul Bearer) What you see before you is a chance for you to say farewell to Stone Cold Steve Austin. Austin has for too long reigned over the WWF and I shall take your greatest prize Vince. Behold the ultimate sacrifice o Greater Power! Taker has his hands out and the casket with Stone Cold in it bursts into flames! Vince: Damn you what have you done to Austin! What have you done! Taker: I have made him...reborn! Now that I have completed the prophecy the Greater Power shall rise among the living! JR says that the hell does that even mean. Vince: Dammit Taker I've had enough if its me you want you can have me dammit just leave my family alone leave the WWF alone dammit. Come to the ring tonight and face me in the ring! Taker: I shall meet you there tonight.... Later Backstage Vince is with the stooges getting ready for his match tonight which is mentioned to be non-title. Vince says he's trying to find out if Austin was really in that casket and has people investigating it. Pat Patterson says it had to be Austin and he may have been burnt, but Brisco wonders what does it mean to be "Reborn". The Rock approaches Vince and says that he wants a title shot against the Undertaker. Vince says he'll consider it for next week on RAW. The Undertaker (c) vs. Vince McMahon in a non-title match.
Vince tries to fight Taker early on getting in punches and kicks, but Taker just easily takes down Vince at ease and assaults him continuously in the match that JR says it's like fighting a punching bag. Taker gets in the chokeslam. Taker signals for the tombstone till the Rock runs out! The Rock has had enough of the beating and lands right and lefts on Taker with the spitting punch for Taker to fall to the outside and the DQ. Suddenly a hooded figure appears from the back. Taker: (on the mic) The Greater Power is here! Taker kneels with Paul Bearer on the outside as the Rock stands in the ring wondering who this is. The Greater Power lifts his hands and the arena goes dark. The lights turn on and he's behind the Rock! The Rock looks behind him and tries to see him. Taker from behind attacks the Rock! Taker gets in the chokeslam as RAW goes off air with Taker standing beside the Higher Power. |

WWF RAW is WAR
June 7th, 1999
Hosts: Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler, and Jim Ross
The Undertaker, Shane and the Ministry come out.  Taker: Vince, I took your son, I took the WWF Championship, I took Stone Cold away who was depressed that night for the loss of Owen and he Steve Austin has been made reborn, and I defeated you in the middle of the ring last week. The WWF is soon to be mine. Shane: That's right dad, the WWF will be in the hands of the Higher Power, because at the King of the Ring dad, we want to end this once and for all. One on one, we will choose one man on our side and you choose one from your side and the winner will give up their stake of the WWF. That's right I'll give up my stake, if you do the same. The Winner will have majority control over the WWF. Vince McMahon comes on the titantron. Vince: You know something Shane, I'll accept it under one condition, that if your man loses your Ministry is over. You will not be allowed to operate your denomic cult in the WWF. Shane: And if your man loses Vince, you will no longer be the leader of the Corporation, in fact they have to join the Ministry. Vince: You're on.... Taker: Let's now all rise for he has arrived.... The hooded figure, the Greater Power emerges and enters the ring. Everyone speculates who it is as they and even Vince watches from the titantron. Vince: Whoever you are. Reveal yourself. The hooded figure removes their hood and reveals....  SHAWN MICHAELS
JR is going nuts and doesn't believe it. Vince is in shock. Lawler wants to know why.  Shawn: Vince...for 12 years I worked for you, gave my life for you, and after Stone Cold Steve Austin ended my career once and for all at Wrestlemania 14, what did you do? Nothing, scrapped me aside, left me homeless and only on occasion out of your so-called charity you let me come in, but once again let me go. So I searched the world to find purpose. And purpose I found in the depths of the Chihuahuan Desert, and lo and behold inside me a darkness emerged, and there a vision I saw of Paul Bearer the High Priest, calling out for me, reaching out for me then the Lord of Darkness came to me and I embraced him and I became a new. He knelt, and the light within me diminished and I became the Darkness eternal. I became the Greater Power, and all those in the Ministry serve me and me alone. I am their lord and saviour, and all those who oppose me will suffer. Especially you Vince, I will take everything from you. Shane McMahon saw that I am the way, the truth, the darkness. And soon your daughter Vince will be by myside, if she won't marry the Lord of Darkness, then I shall have her and bare a child who shall be named Morning Star. JR: (on commentary) Bah g'd'almighty is he talking about the anti-christ here? Lawler: (on commentary) I don't know JR this is surreal! Vince: Damn you Shawn, damn you to hell. Shawn: Hell is my home. You will kneel you will submit to the Ministry. The Ministry all kneel in front of Shawn especially Shane who does it first happily and Lawler shouts (look at Shane!). Vince: I will destroy you Shawn Michaels... Stone Cold's music hits and fans are on their feet. However everyone is at shock and Austin is in a robe like Shawn is. Austin comes out.  Vince: Get him Austin, kick his a$$!! Shawn: Stone Cold Steve Austin, you have been reborn, you are now my disciple. Austin: (looks drugged his eyes are red and puffy) Whatever is...your bidding...(he looks dazed confused and looks around)... JR: (on commentary) What in g'ds-green earth have they done to Austin damn it! Damn Shawn to hell! Damn the Ministry! Shawn: You are born again Austin...and I choose you to face whoever Vince McMahon picks...and the WWF will be ours (Austin dazed again, nods). Later backstage Vince is worried and decides that he will face Taker again but with Big Show as his handi-cap tag partner. He wonders what in the world has happened to Austin. The Stooges tell Vince that maybe he's been drugged because he looks like it. Vince asks them how would they even know. Vince demands that Stephanie have extra protection for RAW. The Rock shows up at Vince's office and asks if he could be the man to face Austin at the King of the Ring. Vince says he'll make a final decision soon. Later backstage, Ken Shamrock with some bodyguards are protecting Stephanie till Shawn Michaels shows up. Ken screams and approaches Shawn, Shawn places his head over Ken. Shawn asks him if he wishes for eternal life. Ken says he has no idea what he's talking about. Shawn gives him a cold stare and Ken starts to kneel in fear! The Ministry enter the room, but Stephanie isn't found. Shawn: Where is she. Ken: I...don't know... Shawn: If you wish to be part of the future, when the WWF is mine...join me...become one of us... In the main event the Undertaker (c) fought the Big Show & Vince McMahon for the WWF title in a Handi-cap match to a No Contest. Ken Shamrock comes out to help the Big Show and Vince out who was being assaulted by Taker. Vince is happy till Shamrock gives Vince a belly-to-belly suplex betraying Vince! Before RAW goes off air. Austin is in the back with Shawn and the Ministry, looking at an Austin 3:16 shirt. Austin looks completely drugged up and says "bottom line"...."stone cold says so"...."I...."...."help me..someone...I...uhhh"...Shawn looks angry and burns the Austin 3:16 shirt in front of him as Austin looks dazed and Shawn says: "Submit to me!". |

Stone Cold Steve Austin (w/Shawn, Taker and Bearer) vs. The Big Show. ![]()  Big Show is in the ring and out comes Austin to Ministry music with Shawn, Paul Bearer and the Undertaker by Austin's side. Austin is all a mess as he takes off his robe. JR says he doesn't look good at all. Big Show attacks Austin right away, Austin fights back and fires lefts and rights so viciously as he hits the ropes and knocks the Big Show down with a big clothesline. It looks like Austin is wrestling just fine as he later lands a big stunner for the pin and win. Winner: Stone Cold via pinfallAustin looks fired up as the fans are cheering him but Taker gets back in and Austin looks at him and looks confused. Shawn gets on the mic. Shawn: Now Austin...kneel before the Greater Power Austin looks at the crowd starts to rub his eyes and looks and Austin finally kneels to much heat. Shawn: Good...good....(places robe over Austin) You see Vince, Austin is at a 100% and at the King of the Ring, you better bring your best to face him because Austin will make sure the WWF will be in the hands of the Ministry.

No...this isn't right why don't you come back here Shawn Michaels so I can stun your a$$ all the way to San Antonio Texas! (fans are going wild) Vince gets in the ring hoping it's really Austin. Austin: What do you want. Vince: Austin...I lost it all...if it's really you just bring back the old stone cold and stun my a$$ I need it I need to feel it. Suddenly Steph comes out beside Shawn and on the mic. Steph: Dad don't, don't feel bad because... you're going to be a grandpa (Lawler screams in shock). Vince faints and collapses as Austin looks on in disgust as to what has happened here for the PPV to go off air. |

WWF RAW is WAR
June 28th, 1999
Hosts: Jim Ross & Jerry Lawler
The Ministry are in the ring all together. Stephanie also joins forces. Shawn: I am now the ruler of the World Wrestling Federation. With Vince McMahon's stake in my hands, with Shane joining us, and now Stephanie who carries my child, all in the back should kneel before me and all in the audience should kneel for I am darkness eternal... Suddenly the Undertaker chokes Shawn.  Shawn is in shock and Taker lands a Tombesonte piledriver on Shawn! Stephanie screams in horror. Taker calls out the druids who take Shawn away! Taker: You...Shawn Michaels...were a means to the end. There is no Greater Power but the Lord of Darkness...the Undertaker...
JR: (on commentary) B'ah g'd-allmighty! It was a set up all along...
Taker: Shawn was merely a pawn in my game, and tonight the World Wrestling Federation belongs to the Lord of Darkness... Suddenly Glass Shatters and fans go nuts as Austin makes his way out! Austin fires lefts and rights knocking down everyone in sight! Austin lands a big stone cold stunner on Taker and lands a Stunner on Shane, a Stunner on Paul Bearer and everyone runs off! Stephanie stays behind with Austin.  Austin: Why don't you (Steph) go back to your dad sweetheart because you broke that good for nothing sob's heart Vince McMahon who managed to destroy the WWF all by himself (Stephanie runs off and manages to escape the Ministry on her way). I ain't standing here in the ring for Vince McMAhon, I ain't standing here for nobody but everyone knows this is my ring, the WWF isn't the same if some piece of trash satanic cult is run by a jacka$$ who deserves the biggest a$$ whoopin the WWF has ever seen. You may own the WWF Undertaker, but tonight I want my WWF title back and that's the bottom line because Stone Cold said so. Backstage Vince is watching with the Stooges and he cheers for Austin saying that even though he lost his stake, he has yet to be deposed as chairman by the board and yet to have transferred his stake. Vince has set up the match tonight. Undertaker backstage finds Stephanie and says that the child will be his and she will be his dark bride. She screams and Taker says to go to her father and tell him to hand over his stake so he has full power or he will hang Vince tonight from the rafters. Later Stephanie begs her dad to give up his stake. Vince says he knows he has no choice but he will do it on his own terms. Vince says that even though he has too, he asks Stephanie to join forces with his mother so there is a balance of power in the WWF. Steph says that she's going to raise a bastard, and Vince says not to worry and that he will "take care" of the child. Stone Cold Steve Austin def. The Undertaker (c) via pinfall to become the NEW WWF Champion.
Austin counters the tombstone and turns it into a stunner for the big win. Austin wins the match and celebrates in the ring to a huge pop as RAW goes off air. |

END of Part 9
So we find out who the Higher Power was, Shawn Michaels, and we also find out that he was just a pawn in the Undertaker's game who says there is no Greater Power but him. The Aftermath is as follows:
- At Fully Loaded Austin defends the WWF title against the Undertaker in a first blood match and for Vince's Stake in the company, but instead of Vince's stake, Austin takes it for himself and names himself CEO.
- Austin does segments as CEO of the WWF on RAW
- The Ministry dissolves, Shane makes peace with Linda when he begs for forgiveness
- Shane, Linda, and a "pregnant" Stephanie join forces and remove Austin as CEO and "buy" out his stake to give it back to Vince.
- Stephanie "loses" the baby and it's later revealed the Vince McMahon was responsible for her losing it and she would gain her revenge by marrying Triple H instead of Test, hence ushering in the McMahon-Helmsley era.

10. Hulk Hogan in WCW 94-95
1994 saw the in-ring debut of Hulk Hogan winning his first WCW World title at Bash at the Beach 1994 against Ric Flair. The feud continued on as expected against Flair, till Starrcade, one of the great WCW traditional PPV's that preceded Wrestlemania, turned into a piece of trash. One has to wonder how you could go from Vader vs. Flair in perhaps Flair's greatest match in Starrcade '93, to Hulk Hogan vs The Butcher in '94. Even in the following months as they tried to get what could've been one of the hottest feuds around, everything was about Hogan's ego and his friends. The Dungeon of Doom storyline was simply insane (I couldn't stand WCW till Hulk turned heel and I started watching again) and Hogan was so invincible not even 20 Andre the Giants could take him down. Who wants to pay for that crap? Hogan was a clear draw in WCW sure, but what if his booking was done right and he agreed to being committed to a solid initial run? We begin with the season of Starrcade '94...
