Sunday Night Heat Report for
February 14th, 1999
By Steve Appy
Live from Memphis TN
Shane McMahon
introduced his father to a chorus of boos; Vince insisted on
showing a replay of
both his Royal Rumble & 2/13 RAW victories over Steve
Austin.
As
Austin watched on a monitor,
McMahon offered Austin one last opportunity to
back out of their
matchup later tonight.
Kevin Kelly revealed
that Road Dogg, due to injuries, has been forced to vacate
the Hardcore
Championship. A huge limousine entered the arena, occupants
unseen.
Mankind was greeted by
his trainer, Dominic Donucci (sp?), Bob Backlund & The
Iron Sheik. Backlund
is back to playing his right wing lunatic role.
Viscera defeated Test
via disqualifcation in
2:02
With Viscera on the
verge of victory, the Big Boss Man interfered and destroyed
the Ministry member.
Michael Cole
interviewed Billy Gunn. Although half of what he said was
gibberish, the gist
had something to do with the Intercontinental Championship
match that Gunn is
officiating later in the evening.
The Rock interviewed a
collection of ho's for the spot of his personal masseuse;
the point was to give
The Rock a chance to degrade the whole bunch.
With Jerry Lawler as
the host, Debra challenged Ivory to a six man match later
tonight; Ivory
refused, preferring the title match instead. Ivory
threatened to
strip Debra, and a
catfight ensued.
Mankind briefly
trained with The Iron Sheik's weights; instead of exercise,
Foley pictured them as
weapons to be used against The Rock.
Michael Cole attempted
to interview Steve Austin about McMahon's ultimatum; a
disgusted
Austin slammed the door in
Cole's face.
Ryan Shamrock got very
friendly with Billy Gunn; she seemed to have a soft spot
for The New Age
Outlaw.
Billy Gunn "pinned"
Tiger Ali Singh in 0:31
Triple H provided
color commentary; the referee was knocked unconscious, and
Val
Venis, seeking to gain
Gunn's favor later in the evening, counted the unofficial
pinfall.
Ken Shamrock attacked
Venis, as Gunn looked on in amusement.
As Dominic Denucci
attempted to revert Foley back to a technical style, Vince
McMahon informed the
Stooges that if there was any Corporate interference in the
cage match, the
offending party would be fired.
As Foley sluggishly
trained, The Rock surprised Mankind, destroying his knee
with a fire
estinguisher.
As Vince McMahon
explained the depth of his hatred for Steve Austin, WWF
Commisioner Shawn
Michaels made his return. After letting Vinnie Mac know
exactly what he thinks
of him, Stone Cold interrupted, murder visible in his
eyes.
Hoping to taunt
Austin into breaching his
contract, McMahon spit on Austin
square on the chest.
Refusing to be goaded,
Austin promised to wash the
spit
with McMahon's blood
later in the evening.

WWF St. Valentine's
Day Massacre Report for 2/14/1999
By Steve Appy
Live from Memphis TN
Goldust pinned The
Blue Meanie
Bluedust was terrific
w/ his imitation of Goldust; the mannerisms were right on
target. Meanie
actually performed a Moonsault (which missed), which led to
Goldust performing the
Curtain Call for the pinfall. In the course of the
match, Runnells
actually spanked Meanie, a sight we all could have done
without.
As
Memphis cheered, Goldust laid
Meanie out with the Curtain Call.
Bob Holly pinned Al
Snow to win the vacant WWF Hardcore Championship
It was announced that
Road Dogg was stripped of the Hardcore Championship due to
being hospitalized;
Holly looked okay, but has so little credbility it hurt the
match. The two brawled
out of the arena, an destroyed each other with stop
signs, barb wire, and
every weapon within reach. Both men ended up in the
Mississippi River; Holly
scored the upset after trapping Snow in barb wire,
which gave him the
leverage to force the three count.
The Undertaker,
surrounded by his Ministry, announced plans to make an
impact
tonight. I still think
UT is more effective as a lone wolf...
The Big Boss Man
pinned Midian
After some lackluster
brawling, The Boss Man scored the pinfall after a Side
Slam. The Ministry
destroyed The Boss Man, and carried the unconscious
Corporation member to
the waiting Undertaker. While The Undertaker is the
babyface here, the
Ministry members are so unlikable it leaves the crowd dead.
Kevin Kelly
interviewed D-Lo Brown, Mark Henry & Ivory. D-Lo promised
that if
Debra got out of line,
Ivory would rip every piece of clothing of her body. We
can only be so
lucky...
WWF World Tag Team
Champions Owen Hart & Jeff Jarrett (w/Debra) defeated D-Lo
Brown & Mark Henry
(w/Ivory) when Jarrett forced Henry to submit.
Henry wore his heavy
duty brace on his right knee, but still managed to get
involved in the
action. Brown was on the defensive most of the match; as
Brown
was ready to hit The
Frog Splash, Debra distracted him with a shot of her
cleavage. As the
ladies argued, Owen Hart hit Henry with the guitar, setting
him up for Jarrett's
figure four. Ivory tried to make good on her promise, and
managed to rip off
half of Debra's blouse before cooler heads prevailed. Of
course, Ivory would
really get over as a babyface if she actually managed to
strip Debra...
Val Venis (w/Ryan
Shamrock) pinned Ken Shamrock to win the WWF Intercontinetal
Championship
Billy Gunn was the
special referee; Ryan Shamrock wore a very revealing outfit,
much to the delight of
both Venis & Gunn. Of course, Ken Shamrock was enraged.
After a DDT, Shamrock
had Venis pinned, and Gunn refused to make the three
count. Putting
storyline aside, Gunn had no sense of timing with his
counts.
Shamrock had Venis
locked in the Ankle Lock, and Ryan helped Venis reach the
ropes. Shamrock was
angry, and Ryan ended up slapping her older "brother". A
crazed Shamrock shoved
Billy Gunn, and after retaliating, he counted Shamrock
down for the quickest
three count in recent memory. Gunn proceeded to attack
Venis as well, setting
up a Triangle Match for Wrestlemania.
Chyna & Kane defeated
Triple H & X-Pac when Chyna pinned Triple H
Chyna held her own
against X-Pac; of course, she is actually bigger than he is!
Chyna was very
effective against Triple H; she was truly not out of place
in this
match. Shane McMahon,
providing color commentary, ended up receiving a forearm
in the face from a
flying X-Pac. As X-Pac applied the Bronco Buster to Chyna,
Shane McMahon
clotheslined X-Pac from behind. Although it caused no
damage, it
angered X-Pac enough
to force him to chase McMahon back to the locker room.
Left at a
disadvantage, Triple H fell victim to Kane's chokeslam,
leaving Chyna on
top of Triple H for
the victory.
An ambulance was
shown, presumably in wait for either The Rock or Mankind.
WWF World Champion
Mick Foley fought The Rock to a Draw
To no surprise, Foley
& The Rock brawled all over the arena. In the funniest
moment of the night,
Foley tried to connect with the Corporate Elbow (or "Mr.
Elbow"), but The Rock
was alert enough to avoid his own maneuver. Since this
was a "Last Man
Standing Match", the winner is decided when one man is on
the
canvas for a ten
count. Basically the same rules as a Texas Death Match. The
Rock worked over
Foley's injured knee with a chair, and ended up taking a
chairshot himself off
a rebounding ring rope. As you can imagine, there was far
too much brawling
action to properly call. Both men hit the other with a chair
at the same instant,
rendering them both unconscious. Since neither man
answered the ten
count, Earl Hebner ruled the contest a draw. The crowd
appreciated the
screwjob ending so much that a loud "bullsh*t" chant filled
the
arena. Both men were
removed on stretchers; The Rock, with a neck immobilizer,
seemed to be in worse
shape this time. Both men were carted away by ambulance;
although the
punishment wasn't quick as sick as The Royal Rumble, its
still
uncomfortable watching
all the sick bumps Foley always takes in these big
matches.
Steve Austin defeated
Vince McMahon in a Steel Cage Match
Before the match,
Austin played possum and
faked a knee injury. Vince tried to
take advantage, and an
alert Stone Cold responded with a clothesline. The two
men brawled into the
crowd, and
Austin destroyed McMahon on
the outside of the
cage for a good ten
minutes. As the two men brawled to the top of the cage
(still on the
outside), Vince was pitched off the top of the cage,
straight
through the Spanish
announcers table. A great bump on Vince's part; though the
table did look
gimmicked, it was still an awesome visual. As the EMT's
prepared
to wheel McMahon away,
Austin refused the victory
and demanded Vince's presence
in the ring. Taking
control of the gurney,
Austin wheeled McMahon
straight into
the outside of the
cage! After deposting the fallen owner of the WWF into the
ring,
Austin devastated Vince from
one end of the ring to the other. As Austin
was prepared to leave
the cage, McMahon goaded
Austin back into the cage
with a
well placed middle
finger. I think its a given that McMahon may have the best
facials in the
business. Vince bladed, and had blood streaming down his
face.
As
Austin prepared to exit the
cage for the second time, Vince once again
taunted
Austin into returning to the
cage. Big mistake. Paul Wight (formerly
known as The Giant)
broke through the bottom of the ring, and proceeded to bully
the much smaller
Austin.
After Wight threw
Austin into the cage, the
momentum broke the cage wide open,
causing
Austin to tumble to the
floor, broken but victorious. Wight assisted
the fallen McMahon
from the ring; the blood streaming down McMahon's face told
a
gruesome tale.

Reported by the
official home of The Jackyl:
http://freeweb.digiweb.com/sports/thejackal
Reported by the Jackyl
Webmaster, Bill A. (jackylwebsite)
For the past several
weeks and months, speculation and rumors have been floating
around about the
where-a-bouts of the Jackyl, and what future would be
"prophesied" for him.
Well that Prophesy was fulfilled (better yet, confirmed)
last night when The
Jackyl made his first appearance in Extreme Championship
Wrestling. During the
ECW television tapings in Queens, NY, the Jackyl finally
made his return upon
the wrestling scene, as he always does best, in mysterious
fashion.
The Official Jackyl
Website as well as Don himself, would like to confirm that
Don has indeed signed
a contract with ECW, and very much looks forward to
working with ECW and
company, as Extreme Championship Wrestling continues to be
a revolutionary force
in the industry, as we approach the new millennium. The
following is a
statement from the Jackyl himself on his new future in ECW:
(Jackyl's message)
"Greetings once again
to my loyal followers. Today, this thirteenth day of
February is indeed a
glorious one....
For today is the day
that thousands of Jackalites can cast themselves back into
the sunlight of my
smile, rejoice, for I am back on television!!!
Let me say that I am
ecstatic about being a part of ECW. The experience at the
Madhouse on Queens
Blvd was like nothing else I've been involved with in my ten
years in the wrestling
business. The fans were rabid, they way they should be,
and when I ventured
out amongst the little darlings last night, marking my first
live appearance for
ECW, it was a major thrill.
I had more fun at that
show yesterday than I have in over a year and it was a
welcome release from
the various career stresses that I have endured in the past
two months.
What a rush to meet
one of my idols, The Franchise Shane Douglas! Very cool to
see Justin Credible
again (I wrestled my WWF tryout match with him in the summer
of 1996). Of course,
it is always fantastic to hook up with Lance Storm, one of
my best friends in the
business.
What struck me about
the whole experience was the great atmosphere in the
dressing room, that
starts with Paul Heyman and carries over to every guy in the
back, everyone was
very cool.
You will no doubt have
many questions about my role in ECW, my name and God
knows what else. I can
only tell you that I will be allowed to do what I can do,
and that's all I have
ever asked for. Whatever happens, Paul Heyman gave me a
chance, and for that
I'll be eternally grateful. Its an opportunity I intend to
make the most of...
Just when you think
you're rid of me, I'm back...Remember what I said... "Life
is an incurable
disease...and so am I".)
As to the Jackyl's
role in ECW. All we can say at this point is to keep a close
watch on ECW from all
its television to house shows, and sooner, rather than
later, the mystery of
the Jackyl will be revealed. If you don't have ECW in your
area, keep checking
back for news and exclusive information at the "Official
Jackyl Website" at
http://freeweb.digiweb.com/sports/thejackal (By the way,
it
never hurts to inform
you local tv stations and cable companies that you would
love to see ECW on in
your area.)
