August 9th, 1999: The Rock has been tormented by The Big Show lately, so he issues a challenge to the big man for a match later on tonight (while hilariously mocking him in the process). But before that match can occur..... The Millennium Countdown clock expires, and we get the WWF debut of one of the greatest wrestlers of all-time! Acting Governor of Minnesota Jesse "The Body" Ventura returns to The WWF for the first time in nine years, and he books tonight's main event: WWF Champion "Stone Cold" Steve Austin vs. The Undertaker vs. Triple-H! However, when someone ambushes "Stone Cold" backstage, Commissioner Shawn Michaels changes the bout to a #1 Contendership Match, and he inserts a surprising replacement: Chyna! The Acolytes put their WWF Tag Team Titles on the line against the resurgent team of X-Pac & Kane. Val Venis goes one-on-one with Jeff Jarrett, who continues to be displeased with Debra. WWF Hardcore Champion The Big Boss Man faces "The Road Dogg" Jesse James in a Hardcore Match...... where the title is somehow not on the line. Steve Blackman & Joey Abs square off with the formidable team of Ken Shamrock & Test. Christian steps into the ring with Gangrel, who appears to have some new friends on his side. Plus, The Rock shows up on MTV in order to make fun of Carson Daly, Billy Gunn's masseuse sabotages his glorious ass, and Kane speaks his first words without the assistance of his voicebox! Meanwhile over on "Nitro," WCW tries to counter tonight's massive episode of "Raw" with a big moment of their own: red-and-yellow Hulk Hogan returns after more than a three-year absence!

August 2nd, 1999: WWF Champion "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is scheduled to face The Undertaker in a No Holds Barred Match for the title tonight.... but new #1 contender Triple-H may have something to say about that. And speaking of The Undertaker, he has enlisted The Big Show as his new tag team partner, and they team up to face Kane & "The Road Dogg" Jesse James. We get a promo duel between The Rock and Billy Gunn, which somehow features a large woman's naked ass on the TitanTron for an uncomfortably long period of time. With Vince McMahon officially gone from The WWF, his son Shane takes it upon himself to disband The Corporate Ministry. However, Shane may have bigger things to worry about now that his sister's boyfriend Test is swearing vengeance on "The Boy Wonder" and The Mean Street Posse. And to prove how serious he is, Test proceeds to beat the living crap out of Rodney. We get a rare Title vs. Title Match as Jeff Jarrett puts his Intercontinental Title on the line against European Champion D'Lo Brown, and the winner takes all! Edge faces Gangrel in a Bloodbath Match -- but whose side is Christian on? The Big Boss Man puts his Hardcore Title on the line against his former Corporate Ministry stablemate Viscera.

July 12th, 1999: Before the Steve Austin / Undertaker match at "Fully Loaded" can become official, a contract must be finalized.... and Vince McMahon signs it in Austin's blood! But later on, an angry "Stone Cold" looks for some vengeance as he teams up with The Big Show to face The Undertaker and his brother Kane. In one of the most shocking moments we've seen on "Raw" in months, Shane McMahon's attempt to humble Test goes horribly wrong when an unintended victim gets injured.

HBK books "Stone Cold" vs. The Big Boss Man and, if Austin wins, there will be no Corporate Ministry interference allowed in the Ladder Match at "King of the Ring." Regarding Vince & Shane, they'll get a tune-up match tonight against their former stooges Pat Patterson & Gerald Brisco.

June 14th, 1999: After being appointed as the CEO of the company last week, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin heads to WWF Headquarters and institutes some very interesting changes. Meanwhile back in the arena, Vince and Shane McMahon contemplate what the stipulation for their "King of the Ring" match should be, so they make several stipulation matches tonight on "Raw." The Rock challenges The Undertaker to a title match at "King of the Ring," but he will first have to beat 'Taker in a non-title match tonight.... and possibly someone else as well.

The Rock and Triple-H go head-to-head in the first-ever Cast Match, where Rock is wearing a cast on his arm and Hunter must wear one on his leg. The Union is given a blank check to face whomever they want: Big Show wisely chooses a title match, Ken Shamrock wants a Lion's Den Match with an unlikely opponent, and Test gives a rather surprising answer. Shane McMahon is ordered to face X-Pac & Kane in a Handicap Match, but some old friends of "The Boy Wonder" apparently still have his back.
