It was exactly this day in the year of 1999 that we got a WWF PPV with the In Your House: St. Valentine's Day Massacre show!
We finally got "Stone Cold" Steve Austin vs. Mr. McMahon inside a steel cage, with the debut of "The Big Nasty" Paul Wight!
We got The Rock vs. Mankind YET AGAIN for the fourth straight PPV in a row for the WWF Title.
Triple H & X Pac vs. Chyna and Kane was meh.
We got Val Venis winning the IC Title from Ken Shamrock with Billy Gunn as the referee.
Road Dogg went into rehab I believe during this time so we got Bob Holly vs. Al Snow for the vacant Hardcore Title
Goldust vs. Blue Meanie??
Big Boss Man vs. Mideon??
So over all the PPV was kind of weak for a WWF PPV during the Attitude Era. I feel this is easily one I would pass on if I felt nostalgic for wanting to watch that era of wrestling.
So what did everyone else feel about this PPV event??

The cage match was the thing that I loved. If I ever go back to the achieves, that's the only match I'd watch on it. Despite it being a match where it should have just been Austin slaughtering Vince, it felt like a big match. I loved how it started with Vince preventing Austin from getting into the cage, and then Austin faking the injury after jumping off the cage to lure him out. That bump Vince took off the cage was a hell of a thing. Yeah not the craziest thing from that era, but with Vince being in his mid 50s at the time, if he did not hit that table right, he could have been really messed up. Was great seeing Austin take out his aggression on Vince, and I even loved the way they debuted Big Show to the company here. I even loved the way Austin won with the cage popping open when Show threw him into it. It was a unique way to both get Austin the win, but make Show look like a monster in his debut.

We revisited this last night!! Shouldve joined us brother!  Far from a good event but I did enjoy the Hardcore title match,Rock/Mankind(finish aside) and Austin beating the sh** outta Vince which will never get old. As I said in the RWN thread last night, Cole has always been bad IMO but man his early work is atrocious. |

It wasn't the best PPV but it did have some fun matches.
I will say that Big Show's debut was possibly one of the worst ever. In less than a minute he looked like a joke.

Really flat PPV with two solid main events in Rock/Mankind then Austin-McMahon. A very 1999 kind of PPV; most of the 1999 PPVs and events were very crash TV like; I don't think we started to get really solid PPV showings until 2000. Still a fun time; been very different style/format.

McMahon was the show MVP. Had his working or bumping boots on. Helluva cage match.

To be honest, most of the Attitude Era pay per views were lacklustre in 1998-1999 apart from 1-2 matches/the main event. They were more focused on television rather than building ppv quality matches for the mid to lower card. Yeah not the craziest thing from that era, but with Vince being in his mid 50s at the time, if he did not hit that table right, he could have been really messed up. But he didn't hit the table right, he hit his hip/back/leg onto the edge of the table and ended up with severe bruising that turned purple all down his left side/leg..... Knowing Vince, he would never have sold it for the days that followed. He toughed it out for sure. |
