With This Ring #58

Ryan and Cindy continue their trek through 1999 WWF with the end of an era as the first leg of the Steve Austin/Vince McMahon feud ends at Fully Loaded 1999. In this episode we talk about…

  • The Triple H/Rock once again feuding in July and fighting in the semi-main event, but how each is in a much different position than they were the year before.
  • The sanitary method of extracting an opponent’s blood for ink.
  • We talk about the rare house show title change the night before the show and the ascending Edge.
  • A title being brought out of retirement by someone going into Shane McMahon’s gym bag.
  • Cindy’s two favorites: Al Snow Hardcore title matches and Big Show vs. Kane!
  • The trademark battle for DX.
  • The rise of King Ass.
  • How both big matches really highlight the Attitude Era template, with brawling, interference and crowd heat.
  • We talk about how the main event sets up the main event for SummerSlam and some brief Jesse Ventura talk.

Enjoy the show!
