King of the Ring

June 27, 1999


King of the Ring - Semifinals:

Hardcore Holly vs. X-Pac
X-Pac wins this one by DQ when Holly hits X-Pac with a chair. After the match, he says that he's the big shot, and that he hasn't forgot about the Big Show.

Big Show vs. Kane
Pretty good match. After the ref is accidentally KOed by the Big Show, Holly runs out and tries to hit the Big Show with a chair. But Kane stops Holly and chokeslams him! Kane then blatantly chokes Big Show for a long period of time. He then hits him with a chair and pins him for the victory. Kane advances.

Mr. Ass vs. Ken Shamrock
Shamrock was injured during the live HEAT that aired before the PPV by Steve Blackman. After getting beaten on by Mr. Ass for some time, the ref decides to end the match and award it to Mr. Ass.

Road Dogg vs. Chyna w/Triple H
Chyna really beats the Dogg up, with the help of Triple H. Shawn Michaels then puts a stop to Triple H. Chyna then tries to hit Dogg with a low blow, but she hurts her arm on his privates!!!???!!!! Dogg is wearing a metal protective cup! He then gives her a pump handle slam and pins her for the victory.

Brood w/Gangrel vs. Hardy Boyz w/Michael Hayes
Great match. You gotta love Edge when he performs his version of the spear. This match was to determine the #1 contenders for the WWF Tag Team Championship, so the competiton was fierce. After Gangrel accidentally spits his "red liquid" into Edge's face, Jeff Hardy pins Edge following a neckbreaker. Hardy Boyz win.

Vince McMahon interview
He says that Shane can't wrestle tonight because of what Ken Shamrock did to him on HEAT, so he's found a suitable replacement.

King of the Ring - Semifinals:

Mr. Ass vs. Kane
After the ref is KOed (again), the Big Show runs out and hits Kane with a chair. Mr. Ass then pins Kane for the victory.

X-Pac vs. Road Dogg
The battle of the current D-Generation X members. Quick match. X-Pac wins with the X-Factor. After the match, the two hug in the ring, and Dogg even holds the ropes open for X-Pac.

WWF CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH:
The Undertaker (champ) w/Paul Bearer vs. The Rock
Another typical Championship PPV match. They fight all over the building, yada yada. After the ref is KOed (bad night for refs) twice, the Undertaker gets a rag that is soaked in ether, but the Rock grabs it and uses it. But then, Triple H runs in and gives the Rock a pedigree. The Undertaker then Tombstones the Rock and pins him for the victory.

In the back, we see Shawn Michaels ejecting Triple H from the building. Vince says that he was his partner for later on. Vince then makes a phone call to someone, saying to get back to the building.

King of the Ring - Finals:
X-Pac vs. Mr. Ass
Rather quick match. Mr. Ass focused his attack on X-Pac's neck thorughout the match. He finally pins X-Pac with a Fam-Asser off the 2nd rope. Mr. Ass is the 1999 King of the Ring.

Vince interview
He introduces his partner for the main event: Steve Blackman. Blackman? It turns out that he's a hired gun for Vince, that's why he attacked Shamrock. But then, on the TV, we see a new installment of GTV - Shane and the Mean Street Posse, saying how they fooled Shawn into believing he was hurt. Shawn then orders Shane to wrestle, and for Blackman to leave the arena!

LADDER MATCH FOR CONTROL OF THE WWF:
Steve Austin vs. Shane & Vince McMahon
Crazy match. Austin dominated the two for most of it. He even went so far as to dump the entrance-way (which was made up of at least 10 ladders) onto them! In the ring, as they're trying for the briefcase (which was holding the stock and Austin's CEO title), it begins to move. As Austin goes for it, it raises higher. When Vince or Shane goes for it, it's lower. As Vince and Austin are on the ladder trying for it, Shane knocks the ladder over, dumping both Austin and his father onto the mat. Shane then climbs the ladder and grabs the briefcase for the victory.
