WWE Backlash 1999 Steve Austin The Rock

Ahead of WrestleMania Backlash, Chris King takes a stroll back to WWE Backlash 1999 as Stone Cold Steve Austin defends his WWE Championship against The Rock.

Let’s set the scene for a minute, you’ve got “The Texas Rattlesnake” and Corporate Rock going one-on-one at WrestleMania XV. Austin wins the championship and the McMahon family is livid. Stone Cold wants his Smoking Skull Championship belt back, and Vince and Shane McMahon are trying to keep it from him by hook or by crook.

Damn, things were different during the Attitude Era, The Rock threw Stone Cold over a bridge and held a funeral for his rival. The storytelling was captivating and exciting, and it kept you guessing what would happen next. Keep in mind this match was conclusively built around a championship belt, something that would never work in the current product.

It was a high-octane no disqualification match with Shane as the special guest referee for their latest encounter. Austin began the match running straight into the ring for a brawl which spilled out all over the arena.  I miss how exciting these two superstars were. Rock hit a vicious Rock Bottom through the Spanish announce table and then got on commentary to talk some smack.

The arrogant challenger took the camera to talk trash while Austin laid on the other announce table, and ate a Stunner through the table. Man, the WWE Universe was on fire throughout the entire match. I feel like both superstars can’t put on a bad match because they have such strong in-ring chemistry.

The finish of the match came when Austin had Rock set up for the three-count but Shane refused to count. Vince came down and struck Shane with the Smoking Skull belt. Austin hit another Stunner and decked the challenger with the belt for the victory. Vince then tossed his rival his precious Smoking Skull Championship.

Attitude of Aggression

Cash-A-Mania runs wild on this special Episode of the Attitude Of Aggression! In the first half of this Episode, Dave and Rey Ca$h get together to discuss this year’s inductees into the WWE Hall of Fame. From Michelle McCool to Lex Luger to the Natural Disasters to Triple H, Dave and Rey break down this year’s class and why they deserve the honor of being a Hall of Famer. The show’s back half, though, is where things get really fun. Dave & Rey posed a question to your favorite Chairshot personalities from the present and the past: Who should be inducted into the Hall of Fame? 20 different people cast their votes to induct one person to the celebrity wing, one tag team, one woman, and three men into the Hall of Fame. Sixty-six (66) different people/teams got votes, but in the end, the winners were determined. Dave and Rey discuss the winners and why they all need to be in the Hall of Fame sooner, not later!

Classic WrestleMania

Attitude Of Aggression #305- The Big Five Project: WrestleMania XI

The Big Five Project returns for our recap of WrestleMania XI, including Diesel v. Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart v. Bob Backlund, and much more!

Attitude of Aggression

The Big Five Project returns to cover one of the worst WrestleManias of all time, namely WrestleMania XI. With the steroid scandal behind him, Vince McMahon shifts his focus to a badly depleted roster, poor ticket sales, cratering popularity, and a host of other problems. His solution to this was to put on a WrestleMania that was shy on actual talent but put a real emphasis on celebrity talent. Never was this more evident than in the Main Event, when Bam Bam Bigelow took on Lawrence Taylor. LT was, without question, one of the greatest linebackers in NFL history. But his in-ring skill did not come close to matching up. Meanwhile, the WWF Championship match between Shawn Michaels and “Big Daddy Cool” Diesel got pushed to the appetizer for the Main Event. Combine that with what Bret Hart described as his worst PPV match of all-time, a lackluster Undertaker match v King Kong Bundy, the Allied Powers, and a host of other issues and you have all the ingredients necessary for a train wreck. And a train wreck is exactly what we got 30 years ago. We cover it all for you here, so you don’t have to watch it yourself. You can thank us later. Or thank us now by tuning in to another epic installment of The Big Five Project!
