Backlash

April 25, 1999


The Brood vs. Acolytes/Midian
Pretty good match. As the ref is distracted by Gangrel/Edge fighting with Faarooq/Midian, Viscera comes out and squashes Christian against the ring. Back in the ring, Bradshaw hits Christian with the Clothesline from Hell and pins him for the victory.

HARDCORE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH:
Hardcore Holly (champ) vs. Al Snow w/Head
Great match. Snow is busted open from the start. Weapons used include a gallon of water, a hockey stick, a broom, frying pans, and a table. Strange sight of the match: As the two were fighting in the backstage area, onlookers included Faarooq, standing with Sgt. Slaughter! After Holly failed to pin Snow following a superplex through a table, Snow immediately grabbed Head and used it as a weapon, pinning Holly and becoming the new Hardcore Champion.

INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH:
Godfather (champ) vs. Goldust w/Blue Meanie
Strange match. Meanie starts things out by doing Sable's Grind ("This is for all the women who came to see me, and for all the men who want to be me!") After Goldust tries to throw powder in the eyes of the Godfather, which backfired, Goldust started to beat up the Meanie, believeing he was the Godfather! He even gave him the Shattered Dreams! The Godftather then gave the Ho Train to both of them in the same corner, he pinned Goldust following the DVD.

New Age Outlaws vs. Jeff Jarrett/Owen Hart w/Debra
Debra comes out with her skimpiest outfit yet (just a jacket, bra, and panties!). Crowd started to chant "We want puppies!" during the match. As for the match, nothing special. Jarrett goes for the figure four on Gunn, but he kicks out of it and kicks Jarrett out of the ring. Hart, who was putting the Sharpshooter on Dogg, receives a Famasser from Gunn, who pins him for the victory.

BOILER ROOM BRAWL:
Mankind vs. Paul Wight
Great match. Wight gets his head busted open and Mankind gets his hand busted open! At one point, it looked like the match was going to end when a large table fell on Mankind, but he got up in a minute and smashed a glass window over the head of Wight! Wight then chokeslammed Mankind off a ladder, through 2 tables and glass! "He's Hardcore! He's Hardcore!" In the end, Mankind managed to win by exited the boiler room, but then the Big Bossman and Test ran in and attacked the two. Bossman was chased out, and Test received Mr. Socko.

X-Pac vs. Triple H w/Chyna
Triple H focused the entire match on X-Pac's neck (he has had 2 severe neck injuries in the past). After the ref was knocked out, X-Pac hit Triple H with the X Factor, but Chyna interfered and gave X-Pac a scorpion death drop (inverted DDT). Kane then comes out and chokeslams both Triple H and Chyna, and then leaves. X-Pac recovers and gives the bronco buster on both Triple H and Chyna, but Triple H surprises X-Pac and Pedigrees him for the victory.

Undertaker vs. Ken Shamrock
Oh My God, was this match boring as hell! Bottom line, Undertaker wins with the Tombstone. Afterwards, Bradshaw attacks Shamrock with a baseball bat.

WWF CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH:
Steve Austin (champ) vs. The Rock
Special guest referee: Shane McMahon
Great match. These two fought all over the arena. Not as hardcore as previous matches, but still very good. The Rock hits Austin with a Rockbottom throught the Spanish announcers' table, and Austin hits the Stunner on the English announcers' table (as seen through the Rock-cam). Shane accidentally KO's the Rock with the championship belt, and Austin goes for the 3 count, but Shane stops counting at 2. Austin chases Shane out of the ring, but Vince surprises Shane and hits him with Austin's championship belt! Austin hits the Stunner on the Rock, followed by a belt to the head. Referee Earl Hebner counts the 3 and Austin wins. Vince then throws Austin his custom-made belt and leaves.

Meanwhile, as Stephanie is waiting in a limo, the Ministry surrounds the car, and security tell the limo driver to leave. We then see that the Undertaker is the limo driver!
