Great show man. I like that possibility of Shawn returning at least for one match. Heck I would love for you to go out of reality and make Shawn full time again. Wonder what he would do that year? Hmm. Runner up to face champion at St. Valentine's Day Massacre? Meh, I'm not mad at it. Just kinda odd to me.
Like the amount of detail you have for your shows, stick with that.

I have to say that I think your WWF 1999 puts mine to shame.
I like the house show stuff you add in there and also the event schedules. Would you mind if I used that idea on my WWF 1997?

It's fine Blade, but Duaner invented the idea in his 2002 diary. Alot of diaries have done that since. And I don't think my '99 can beat yours

Just read RAW and it was really decent. A great year in wrestling this was. I liked Justin Credible appearing as well as the HBK interview as well. I hope Shawn returns soon. I was surprised Bob Holly won though, really was. I like the X Pac/Shamrock rivalry already, cool to see him attacking Shamrock's corporation buddy, Bossman. I liked the ending to the show. Mankind/Taker in a cage match? Nice. I think you made Undertaker look very strong after that match where he took out everyone! Overall this is realistic so far and I like where it is going.

I'm starting to think of a few ideas that I could do with it, so I might end up bringing it back. It might be nice to have some friendly competition.

House Show - Tuesday 12th January 1999
1 Super Nova def. Elix Skipper (6:59)
2 Too Much & Jeff Jarrett and Owen Hart def. Hardy Boyz & D'Lo Brown and Mark Henry (09:17)
3 Test def. Hayabusa (08:04)
4 Bob Holly def. TAKA Michinoku (11:03)
5Al Snow def. Sho Funaki (00:07)
6 WWF Tag Team Championship: Legion of Doom def. Ken Shamrock and Big Bossman by DQ (16:26)
7 WWF Hardcore Championship: Road Dogg def. Billy Gunn (10:28)
8 Public Enemy vs. The Brood (07:01)
9 Undertaker and Kane def. Mankind and Triple H (20:55)
Notes: Following Bob Holly's disposing of TAKA Michinoku of Kaientai it was Sho Funaki who was challenged to a match by Al Snow. Snow easily put Funaki away with the Snowplow. This eight man tag was supposedly a carry-on for the mini-feud between Too Much and the Hardy Boyz, first shown on Sunday Night HeAT. Shawn Michaels made the WWF Tag Team Championship up at the top of the show, the bout was nearly over with after LOD hit the Doomsday Device on Shamrock but Bossman nailed LOD with the gold.

House Show - Friday 15th January 1999
1 Hardy Boyz def. Kaientai
2 Chris Daniels def. Chris Chetti (07:21)
3 Legion of Doom def. Edge and Christian (11:03)
4 Giant Silva def. Scott Taylor (4:59)[/b]
5 Giant Silva def. Brian Christopher by DQ (06:15)
6 Val Venis def. Viscera (06:19)
7 Steve Blackman def. Chris Candido by Count-Out (13:23)
8 Test, Ken Shamrock and Big Bossman def. JOB Squad (15:47)
9 No Holds Barred D-Generation X [Triple H, X-Pac and New Age Outlaws] def. The Corporation [The Rock, Kane, Jeff Jarrett and Owen Hart] & The Ministry of Darkness [Undertaker, Gangrel and the Acolytes](27:11)
Notes: Giant Silva debuted his new gimmick as a robotic fan favourite monster. He squashed both members of the light-heavyweight based team, Too Much in just five minutes or so. Chris Candido seems to be getting a push for himself, cockily walking out on Steve Blackman, though it doesn't look anything of a push, Hayabusa was previously squashed on the House Show on Tuesday night. The undercard was admittedly weak, however this was made up for in the main event, a three way, twelve man tag no holds barred match. Double J and Owen were honourary members in the Corporation though they could become members if management give them a push. Triple H pinned Undertaker to win the match for DX.

PW Insider
- Tammy Sytch was signed after Friday night's house show to manage her boyfriend, uprising heel in the WWF, Chris Candido. Tammy, formerly known as Sunny, is known to have the charisma for the job.
- Mona has been signed to a developmental contract. Mona was known as Starla Sexton on the October 18th 1998 edition of Sunday Night HeAT, being defeated by Jacqueline. This is obviously an attempt to revive the almost extinct Womens Championship division.
- Another woman signed last night was former Extreme Championship Wrestling star, Jazz. Along with Jazz is another woman to be announced in the future.
- WCW continues to attempt to outdo the WWF, as they got Thunder up to a 3.43 on the TBS network.
- Speaking of Thursday Thunder, the WWF are currently hoping to get a primetime Thursday night show, though the WWF are not desperate at the moment, what with Shotgun, RAW and HeAT receiving a good reception as of late. The company believe they'll start searching in the Fall of 1999.

lol Giant Silva as a robotic fan favourite? Good stuff. House show results were cool, I like the info you give on new gimmicks and stuff debuting. Really helps us understand what's happening. Chris Candido back! Also Jazz? Her and Sable or Jacqueline could be great.

Shotgun: January 16th 1999 [/i][/color] The show's usual opening video package plays over the titantron before we cut to the live Shotgun arena, which is just a typical RAW is WAR stage with Shotgun logos replacing Raw logos alongside the red lights on the sides of the tron being traded in for yellow lights, shining down on both towers with 'WWF Attitude' at the top. We are briefly introduced by announcers Jim Cornette and Kevin Kelly before we go live to the opening match. Light-Heavyweight Championship Tournament Match: Hayabusa def. Brian Christopher (70%)What a magical way to kick things off here tonight on WWF Shotgun with another match from the exciting Light-Heavyweight Championship tournament. Scott Taylor was as always accompanying partner Brian Christopher to the ring. Hayabusa showed some solid skills right in front of our very eyes. The action was close and fast-paced including alot of false finishes in its six minute match length. The crowd wasn't into it extremely much but those who were into it, thoroughly and noticably enjoyed it. Hayabusa finished Christopher off with a hurricanrana, also getting rid of Taylor. Hayabusa advances. Owen Hart and Double J Interview (76%)[/b] We head to the backstage area where Michael Cole was standing by with Owen Hart and 'Double J' Jeff Jarrett. Cole asks them why they wanted the interview and what was their purpose. Jarrett tells the viewers that they have been almost scrapped and torn away from the entire Tag Team Championship division, and so they decided to make their way back to the top from the very bottom. Owen tells us that the first target of the ressurextion of the team will be the Public Enemy. This was obviously to set up Owen's one on one match for tomorrow night against Johnny Grunge of Public Enemy. Replay: Steve Austin, Triple H and Mankind def. The Rock, Undertaker and Kane (89%)A great way to finish RAW is WAR, though the lead up of the match was a little clustered. The Ministry, D-Generation X and the Corporation headed to the back early in the match as these six men tore the house down. Triple H and Kane started and both men brawled the house down with their action, eventually leading to Kane, his uneasy ally of a brother, Undertaker and Rock dominating Triple H and working on the thigh. Eventually though, Triple H got the tag to Mankind and he went wild, tearing all three heel members down, targeting Undertaker. Steve Austin got a blind tag in somewhere and went after Kane. Undertaker took down Mankind, and Tombstoned him into the canvas, before giving Rock a Chokeslam out of nowhere! Undertaker gives Austin a Chokeslam right on top of Rock and he gets the win, Undertaker not giving a damn! After the match, Undertaker throws Rock to the outside as he does with Mankind, putting Mankind through the announce table with a Chokeslam and delivering a sickening Tombstone Piledriver onto the bottom set of the steel steps! Undertaker challenges Rock and Mankind for the WWF Championship at Royal Rumble to 'kill two birds with one stone' before challenging Mankind to a steel cage match next week on RAW is WAR! We go off the air. Kaientai def. JOB Squad (77%)[/color] This bout was yet another decent bout, the in ring chemistry between Taka, Funaki and Scorpio & Al Snow was simply phenomenal. High flying action, technical action, this match had everything shy of more match length. Like the previous match, the crowd didn't one hundred percent care but those fans who did enjoy it surely loved it to pieces. If there was ever a WWF Best of Shotgun 1999 video released, this would have to be on it. Taka and Al started and Snow easily took out Michinoku. But Funaki took advantage of the only botch of the match by Snow and the Japanese team took control of the JOB Squad's Al Snow. The match came to a close when Scorpio went for a 450 splash but Edge ran in and rocked the ropes, crotching Scorpio and leading to the Michinoku Driver. Test def. Steve Blackman (70%)[/color] This match was fairly entertaining, and this was the most interested the fans had been all show long. But the truth is, this was not a way to get Steve Blackman into a match for once, nor was this a lengthy bout. It was actually very short. This bout existed to hype Test up for his European Championship match this Monday night against X-Pac. Blackman did have some offense in however and the crowd seemed to enjoy him slightly. Test however, used his brawling skills and beat Steve's karate skills. Test finished Blackman off with the pumphandle slam. I remember when Blackman was actually noticed by the World Wrestling Federation. WWF Hardcore Championship: Road Dogg def. Edge[/color] This was a good main event and the crowd were intrigued by it. Though the quality had nothing to do with the fact that this was under hardcore rules, however the actual skills of the bout were still full-on great. Dogg started off with the offense, sending Edge outside twice and beating on him with a hockey stick and a crowbar. But Edge took over and built his own momentum instantly with Edge getting in a low blow with a baseball bat. At one point, Edge stole James E. Cornette's tennis racket from the announce table and nailed Road Dogg with it for a near fall, got one or two laughs out of that did the fans. Edge almost finished things off with the Spear but Road Dogg hit the shake, rattle and drop and hit the dancing knee drop. Gangrel came out from under the ring apron and tried to cost Road Dogg the match but got thrown out of the ring for his troubles. Dogg hit Edge with a steel chair and it was over with. But after the match, Gangrel took out Road Dogg, Edge and Christian also attacking the Hardcore Champion. The JOB Squad tried to run in for the save but it backfired as the Brood took them out as well. We went off the air with Gangrel beating on Dogg.[/size][/center]

Nice opening segment. I am really a fan of you having Hayabusa winning the match, simply because I am a fan of the phinox and the challenger was not in his league. Nice interview. Nice trios action their or whatever it may be in the WWF six man tag? I love the use of the job squad, pin me and pay me! Test and Blackman had a nice match, but seriously I never understood Blackman. Sad to see Edge lose his match . OK I loved Shotgun, also nice house show event recaps, keep up the nice work.

I'm really overall liking this diary- it seems very authentic. Having a women's division is good- surprised to read that since you said you might be retiring the belt. I guess you are having second thoughts. Sable should have a somewhat lengthy reign considering while she isn't the greatest in-ring wrestler, she was a megastar as far as women's standards go. I like the fact that you have Giant Silva debut a new gimmick at a house show before TV, it's very realistic. Keep it up, looking forward to Raw/Heat.

Maybe your over doing this abit with house shows, Raw,shotgun and heat adding WCW seems like an overkill. can we have an updated light weight tourney which is looking great, like Edge v Road Dogg match I could see that happening, good Champs though liking this ear, not a fan of old school diaries but I 'm really feeling this, keep up the good work

I'm cutting out House Shows. This is the WCW info, WCW's side of the diary will start after Royal Rumble, since EWR likes to put WCW's Souled Out on the same night as WWF's Royal Rumble
