Cette semaine dans l'émission #12 :IYH - Revenge of the TakerHenry Godwin et sa chaudière de bouetteCe qu'on aime et ce qu'on aime pas dans la lutte. Juste de l'opignon.L'histoire derrière Darren Drozdov
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. Triple-H, Billy Gunn, and Chyna face "The Road Dogg," X-Pac, and a very electrifying replacement in a six-person tag match. In their first Tag Team Title defense, The Hardy Boyz defend their newly-won belts against The Godfather & Val Venis. After turning his back on Edge last week, Gangrel must now face him in a match tonight on "Raw," and the finish is quite a spectacle. WWF Intercontinental Champion Jeff Jarrett is set for some promo time, but he gets interrupted by an unexpected visitor. After losing their Tag Team Titles last week, the pissed-off Acolytes decide to take out their frustrations on an unlikely wrestler. Darren Drozdov issues an open challenge for an Evening Gown Match because sometimes you just have to kill five minutes of television time. Plus, the acting Governor of Minnesota Jesse Ventura is set to return to the WWF after a nine-year absence, the Countdown to the Millennium is on, and The Rock cuts a hilarious promo on Billy Gunn! Meanwhile on "Nitro," new World Champion Randy Savage is immediately dethroned by the freshly-face-turned Hulk Hogan! Want to watch me host a wrestling trivia game show?

Of course, we talk about Jake Roberts, but there is so much other stuff that was crazy as well, both on camera and behind the scenes, so this is a can't miss segment. We also talk about the death of Gorilla Monsoon and the tragic career ending injury suffered by Darren Drozdov, including how the WWF really dropped the ball in many ways with how they handled the injury publicly on SmackDown two days later. Other things discussed are the pro debuts of Wataru Inoue, Katsuyori Shibata, and Hiroshi Tanahashi in New Japan, Ray Gonzalez becoming “Mr. Raytings” in WWC, Tammy Sytch's infamous sit-down interview on ECW's TNN show, Jerry Lawler coming up short in the Memphis mayoral election, Jesse Ventura's Playboy interview, then, finally, World Championship Wrestling. There, the top story is the immediate aftermath of Vince Russo & Ed Ferrara joining the promotion, including all of the details as to how it went down. This is a fantastic show, as it always is when Prazak is on with us, so LISTEN NOW!!!!!Timestamps:0:00:00 Heroes of Wrestling1:55:19 WWF3:09:22 Eurasia: AJPW, NJPW, BattlARTS, FMW, NOW, Osaka Pro, SPWF, Toryumon, RINGS, Arsion, GAEA, VDB Top Catch, & BWF3:32:34 Classic Commercial Break3:37:24 Halftime3:51:30 Other North America: Stampede, AAA, CMLL, IWRG, WWC, & MMA4:07:27 Other USA: CZW, UCW, NWA Wildside, IPW, OVW, HWA, Jerry Lawler's failed mayoral bid, Power Pro, KAW, Dale Gagner's AWA, APW, & Jesse Ventura5:20:45 WCW6:25:32 Patreon Preview: Vince McMahon's initial public response to the nWo/Outsiders angleTo support the show and get access to exclusive rewards like special members-only monthly themed shows, go to our Patreon page at Patreon.com/BetweenTheSheets and become an ongoing Patron.

April 29th, 1999: Our timelines match up perfectly because we're reviewing the 1999 "Smackdown" pilot right before "Smackdown" moves to Fox here in 2019! And for such a historic show, we had to bring in Martin Dixon from The New Blood Rising Podcast and Wrestling In The Clinton Years! Shane McMahon forces bitter rivals "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and The Rock to team up against The Undertaker and Triple-H for a massive main event. However, Shane's surprises don't stop there because he also introduces us to a brand new faction which combines two existing heel stables. X-Pac & Kane put their WWF Tag Team Titles on the line against X-Pac's DX pals The New Age Outlaws. Val Venis is scheduled to face Owen Hart, but instead he has to settle on a replacement....... the returning Blue Blazer. In a legendarily terrible segment, The Brood break their silence for the first time in an interview with Dok Hendrix. Ken Shamrock looks to get some revenge on Bradshaw when he faces him in a Street Fight. Mankind goes head-to-head with The Big Boss Man, and it appears that Mick Foley has some unlikely allies backing him up. D'Lo Brown steps into the ring with Darren Drozdov (and no, thankfully, it's not THAT match). The Big Show goes one-on-one with now-former Corporation member Test, with the highlight of the match being Big Show somehow hitting a dropkick. Enjoying the Podcast?

March 1st, 1999: Vince McMahon wants to fire Kane for not winning the Inferno Match last week, but Chyna steps in with a proposition: allow Kane to keep his job if he can defeat "Stone Cold" Steve Austin in the main event. And speaking of Mr. McMahon, he also books another marquee match-up for tonight's show: The Undertaker vs. Mankind. Jim Ross returns to the WWF three months after suffering a second bout of Bell's palsy...... so obviously, they turn him heel. "The Road Dogg" Jesse James also makes his return to the company, and his first match back is for the WWF Title against The Rock! Owen Hart & Jeff Jarrett put their WWF Tag Team Titles on the line against the formidable team of Triple-H & X-Pac. Val Venis defends his Intercontinental Title in a Triple Threat Match against Ken Shamrock and Goldust. Luna Vachon and Tori confront Sable about her new attitude, with somewhat surprising results. Public Enemy impersonate The Brood, and then they proceed to get more than they bargained for when a bloody scene ensues backstage. Debra challenges Ivory to a match despite the fact that she is in no way a competent wrestler. Darren Drozdov steps into Steve Blackman's realm for the first ever Kendo Stick Match. Plus, Paul Wight continues to make his presence felt, Billy Gunn gets removed from a match because he has asthma (seriously), and we get a pre-taped vignette where we are introduced to some of Shane McMahon's childhood friends from Greenwich, Connecticut!

February 22nd, 1999: The Undertaker's torment of Vince McMahon causes the chairman to schedule a very interesting main event: 'Taker vs. Kane in the first ever Inferno Match on "Monday Night Raw!" And speaking of Mr. McMahon, he appears to have some other problems on his hands when Paul Wight challenges fellow Corporation member The Rock to put his WWF Title on the line tonight! In order to receive a European Title rematch against Shane McMahon at "WrestleMania," X-Pac has to earn it the hard way by stepping into the ring with Chyna. Ken Shamrock faces Billy Gunn in a match where the winner becomes the #1 contender for the Intercontinental Title.... even though both men lost Intercontinental Title matches last week. And on a related note, WWF Intercontinental Champion Val Venis goes one-on-one with Goldust in a non-title match, which features some unexpected outside interference. WWF Hardcore Champion Bob Holly is now referring to himself as "Hardcore Holly," and he puts his title on the line against his former tag team partner Bart Gunn. D'Lo Brown calls out the WWF Tag Team Champions Jeff Jarrett & Owen Hart, and the result is pretty much exactly what you would expect. Edge & Gangrel step into the ring with a legendary ECW tag team who are finally making their debut in the WWF. Steve Blackman squares off with Darren Drozdov because sometimes you just need to kill three minutes of television time. Plus, Mankind is petitioning to be the special guest referee for the main event of "WrestleMania," and Sable's heel turn continues as she proceeds to confront her stalker and Luna Vachon.

February 13th, 1999: In what is STILL the biggest crowd ever for an episode of "Raw," the WWF packs over 41,000 fans into The SkyDome for a special Saturday night episode! Vince McMahon orders WWF Champion Mankind to face "Stone Cold" Steve Austin in a non-title match, but those plans may change by the end of the night. For some reason, The Rock has a match with, of all people, Steve Blackman. X-Pac faces a daunting challenge when he is ordered to compete against Corporate Kane. The Ken Shamrock/Val Venis feud continues to escalate, which results in a special guest referee being appointed for their match at "St. Valentine's Day Massacre." Al Snow calls out "The Road Dogg" but, when he doesn't answer the challenge, Al then proceeds to have a Hardcore Match.... against himself. Jeff Jarrett goes one-on-one with D'Lo Brown, who introduces us to a brand new female wrestler. Viscera squares off with The Godfather in what is sure to be a five-star classic. Goldust steps into the ring with Gillberg in a match which has a rather surprising result. Plus, we get the famous visual of Vince yelling in "Stone Cold's" face, Darren Drozdov beats up an announcer, and Earl Hebner suffers the wrath of some unforgiving Canadian fans! Meanwhile over on "Nitro," we get roughly 800 vignettes, including the revelation that Raven is actually a spoiled rich kid! Enjoying the Podcast?

January 24th / 25th, 1999: Does "Stone Cold" Steve Austin really have "No Chance In Hell" at winning The Royal Rumble? Sal from WrestleMania SalVation joins the Podcast again to break down all the craziness from the pay-per-view, plus the following night's episode of "Raw!" "Royal Rumble 1999" Card: The Royal Rumble Match WWF Champion Mankind vs. The Rock in an "I Quit" Match WWF Intercontinental Champion Ken Shamrock vs. Billy Gunn WWF European Champion X-Pac vs. Gangrel WWF Women's Champion Sable vs. Luna Vachon in a Strap Match WWF Hardcore Champion "The Road Dogg" Jesse James vs. The Big Boss Man in a non-title match January 25th, 1999 "Monday Night Raw": One night after winning the Royal Rumble match, Vince McMahon decides to vacate his position as the #1 contender... but two familiar foes then inform him that he has made a terrible mistake. Triple-H challenges the new WWF Champion The Rock to yet another "I Quit" Match tonight on "Raw," and the result of the match leaves the fans in shock. And speaking of The Rock, his bitter rival Mankind shows up to tell the world that "The Great One" may not have actually been successful in getting him to quit last night. The Big Boss Man & Ken Shamrock put their WWF Tag Team Titles on the line against Owen Hart & Jeff Jarrett in a rare heel vs. heel tag match. Shane McMahon forces Kane to publicly apologize until an unlikely ally tells "The Big Red Machine" that he should ditch The Corporation in favor of a different stable. Val Venis squares off with Test, but not before "The Big Valbowski" introduces us to his newest movie.... starring Ken Shamrock's sister. "The Road Dogg" & Al Snow team up to face Gangrel & Edge in a Hardcore Tag Team Match which takes place almost entirely backstage. Billy Gunn steps into the ring with Goldust, who is now being taunted by a bizarre copycat. Darren Drozdov calls out WWF Hall of Famer George "The Animal" Steele in what turns out to be one of only two matches that "The Animal" ever wrestles on "Raw." Plus, The Ministry of Darkness is lurking around backstage! Enjoying the Podcast? E-mail us at rawattitudepodcast@gmail.com or Tweet us @RawAttitudePod!

October 26th, 1998: "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is still technically fired from the WWF, but Vince McMahon's son Shane goes behind his back to bring "The Rattlesnake" back to the company! In the main event, Austin then squares off with WWF Intercontinental Champion Ken Shamrock in an "I Quit" Match. The newly-face-turned Kane goes one-on-one against Gangrel, with the highlight being the post-match formation of a new gothic stable. Real-life best friends Mankind & Al Snow unite to challenge The New Age Outlaws for their WWF Tag Team Titles. In a match you probably thought you'd never see (or even want to see), The Rock steps into the ring with Darren Drozdov. WWF European Champion X-Pac faces Steve Blackman, but the returning Steven Regal appears to have an issue with a non-European holding the belt. The four members of Kaientai team up to do battle with Kurrgan, Golga, and (in their only "Raw" match ever) The Insane Clown Posse! The Godfather and Tiger Ali Singh have a terrible match that causes the fans to tune them out and start doing The Wave. "Marvelous" Marc Mero goes head-to-head with Goldust, who is wrestling his first match on "Raw" in almost a year. Plus, Motley Crue stops by the WWF to perform their song "Wild Side" and their bodyguard Test proceeds to dispatch an unruly fan. Meanwhile over in WCW, a pay-per-view mishap results in the company having to give away the "Halloween Havoc" main event for free on "Nitro." This results in a new television ratings record for a wrestling match, but the fans' long-term trust in WCW may have eroded to the point that they will never recover... Enjoying the Podcast?

September 28th, 1998: After a shocking turn of events at "Breakdown" last night, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is no longer the WWF Champion! Vince McMahon schedules a ceremony to present the title to the new champion tonight, but "The Rattlesnake" has a surprise in store when he shows up on a very unique vehicle. Later on, Mr. McMahon forces The Undertaker & Kane to compete in a 3-on-2 Handicap Match against The Rock, Mankind, and Ken Shamrock. However, the chairman's pride ends up getting the better of him when he pushes The Brothers of Destruction too far, resulting in a brutal beating at their hands. The New Age Outlaws defend their WWF Tag Team Titles against Southern Justice, but a surprising scuffle may cause one member of DX to leave the group. X-Pac puts his newly-won European Title on the line against Val Venis, with the highlight being the post-match return of a bizarre superstar. And speaking of the European Title, for the first time on "Raw" we get a Six-Man Elimination Match between Edge, Gangrel, D'Lo Brown, Jeff Jarrett, Marc Mero, and Darren Drozdov, with the winner becoming the #1 contender for X-Pac's title next week. Owen Hart faces Dan "The Beast" Severn in a Submission Match, but it ends up being cut short when one of the participants appears to get seriously injured (spoiler: it's not actually a legitimate injury). Mark Henry goes one-on-one against Faarooq with Chyna acting as a completely-not-impartial guest referee. Al Snow takes on Vader in a match which only serves to further destroy the career of "The Mastodon." Oddities members Kurrgan & Golga team up to take on the freshly-heel-turned Headbangers as hometown Detroit natives The Insane Clown Posse make their presence felt during the match. Plus, a full recap of the surprisingly eventful "Breakdown" pay-per-view! Also, don't forget to check out Henry Huge-Pecs on the 10th episode of The Rundown Wrestling Podcast's "NitroMania" series: https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/rundown/episodes/2017-08-28T21_00_00-07_00 Enjoying the Podcast?

September 12th, 1998: "Raw" is relegated to a Saturday night for the second week in a row thanks to The U.S. Open, and the WWF responds by intentionally giving us another lackluster show. The Rock has been a hated heel for the past year, but he cuts a promo on tonight's episode where it appears that he maaaaaay be starting to shift his allegiances. In what is somehow the main event for this episode, D-Generation-X battles Kaientai in an eight-man tag match. Edge goes one-on-one with the new-look Jeff Jarrett, who continues to advise his opponents not to piss him off. Southern Justice squares off with Too Much in a rare heel-vs.-heel tag team affair. D'Lo Brown & Mark Henry team up to face The Headbangers, and Thrasher proceeds to make some uncomfortably racist comments about "The World's Strongest Man." The Oddities do battle with The D.O.A., but this epic encounter is marred by a legitimate technical fuck-up during the match. Vader steps into the ring with Dustin Runnels, who ends up getting a bit too distracted by his new nemesis Val Venis. In a rematch of their Brawl-For-All fight from a few weeks ago, Bradshaw goes up against Darren Drozdov. Marc Mero takes on Miguel Perez in a match which probably would be a better fit on "Shotgun Saturday Night" instead of "Raw Saturday Night." Plus, the WWF decides to kill some time by re-showing a match from "SummerSlam" and Al Snow (unfortunately) makes an appearance! Enjoying the Podcast?

August 17th, 1998: With only two weeks to go before "Summerslam," WWF Champion "Stone Cold" Steve Austin wants a piece of The Undertaker tonight, and he warns Vince McMahon not to stand in his way. D-Generation-X and The Nation of Domination do battle in a Street Fight, which results in one of the wrestlers being badly beaten and bloodied. Ken Shamrock, Dan Severn, and Owen Hart compete in a Triple Threat Match, but one of them decides to conserve his energy by letting the other two fight each other. Val Venis runs the gauntlet against all four members of Kaientai and, if he is victorious against them, he gets five minutes alone with Mr. Yamaguchi-San. "Too Sexy" Brian Christopher squares off with an unusual superstar who is making his "Raw" debut (hint: he has an awesome theme song and entrance). Sable and Jacqueline compete in an Arm Wrestling Match, but Jackie does not seem to be all that interested in making it a fair contest. Bart Gunn takes on The Godfather in our first Brawl For All semifinal, and this results in one of them almost being decapitated by a punch. In the second Brawl For All semifinal, Bradshaw goes up against plucky underdog Darren Drozdov. Scorpio & Faarooq battle The Disciples of Apocalypse, but the match ends up being overshadowed by something more interesting that is happening outside of the ring. Tiger Ali Singh continues to prove that Americans will do anything for money in a segment which may be one of the most disgusting in WWF history. Plus, Al Snow and Head (unfortunately) return to television, Edge takes an interest in a particular wrestler, and "President Bill Clinton" calls into the show! Meanwhile over on "Nitro," we get the WCW debut of a former WWF Champion, and his appearance almost single-handedly causes "Nitro" to slaughter "Raw" in the ratings! Enjoying the Podcast?

August 10th, 1998: WWF Tag Team Champions "Stone Cold" Steve Austin & The Undertaker put their belts on the line in a massive Four Corners Match against Kane & Mankind, The New Age Outlaws, and The Rock & Owen Hart. Val Venis is joined by (ugh) John Wayne Bobbitt so he can explain what happened last week when Mr. Yamaguchi-San attempted to "choppy-choppy his pee-pee." The tension within D-Generation-X continues to mount, and all five members of the group may decide that they would be better off if there was a "DX Split." Jeff Jarrett has now ditched Tennessee Lee as well as his country singer gimmick, and he debuts his newest weapon: a guitar with the phrase "Don't Piss Me Off" written on it. L.O.D. 2000 is scheduled to face Southern Justice, but Hawk's personal demons resurface and put the match in jeopardy. The Brawl For All continues with two more match-ups that no one cares about: Bradshaw vs. Marc Mero and Darren Drozdov vs. Savio Vega. The Godfather and Vader are booked to go head-to-head...... but Vader may opt to spend the night with The Godfather's ladies instead. Luna Vachon faces Jacqueline in what is surprisingly the first one-on-one women's match on "Raw" in several years. Plus, Dustin Runnels issues a statement from his new family-friendly organization Evangelists Against Television, Movies, & Entertainment (wait, how would you abbreviate that?). Meanwhile over in WCW, Jay Leno successfully takes Hulk Hogan to the mat with an armbar! Enjoying the Podcast? E-mail us at rawattitudepodcast@gmail.com or Tweet us @RawAttitudePod!

August 2nd, 1998: Not only is it the debut episode of "Sunday Night Heat," but it's also the debut of Shane McMahon in a full-time on-camera capacity! WWF Champion "Stone Cold" Steve Austin gives us his thoughts on his uneasy alliance with The Undertaker as we continue to build up to their match at "Summerslam." Kane & Mankind battle Nation of Domination co-leaders The Rock & Owen Hart for the right to earn a Tag Team Title shot the next night on "Monday Night Raw." D-Generation-X members Triple-H and X-Pac tell us that DX is as strong as ever despite their recent struggles, and Hunter gets some more planted fans in the crowd to show their breasts. D'Lo Brown defends his European Title against Ken Shamrock while Dan "The Beast" Severn further antagonizes "The World's Most Dangerous Man." Val Venis continues to enjoy the company of Mrs. Yamaguchi-San despite the threat of getting his pee-pee chopped, and then, for some reason, he gets into a confrontation with former "Saved By The Bell" star Mario Lopez. Edge returns to the ring after a six-week absence and goes one-on-one with Jeff Jarrett, who appears to be losing his patience with Tennessee Lee. We take another journey into "Droz's World," where Darren Drozdov regales us with the story of how he surprised Mark Henry by puking on him during training. Droz and The Headbangers then square off with Kaientai in six-man tag team action. Plus, Bart Gunn's Brawl-For-All victory over "Dr. Death" earns him the right to hang out with one of the stars of The USA Network's terrible show "Pacific Blue." Meanwhile on this same night, a recently fired WWF valet makes her debut on ECW's similarly-named "Heatwave" pay-per-view. Enjoying the Podcast?

June 28th / 29th, 1998: So many noteworthy moments happened at "King of the Ring 1998" and the "Raw" afterwards that we had to have Adam from The Rundown Wrestling Podcast join the show to help break it all down! "King of the Ring 1998" Card: WWF Champion "Stone Cold" Steve Austin vs. Kane in a First Blood Match (if Kane loses, he must set himself on fire) The Undertaker vs. Mankind in a Hell in a Cell Match (we go in-depth on this one!) Ken Shamrock vs. Jeff Jarrett / The Rock vs. Dan Severn, with the winners facing each other in the finals of the King of the Ring tournament WWF Tag Team Champions The New Age Outlaws vs. The New Midnight Express Owen Hart vs. X-Pac Al Snow & Head vs. Too Much w/special guest referee Jerry "The King" Lawler (if Al wins he gets a meeting with Vince McMahon, but if he loses he is gone from the WWF) The Headbangers & Taka Michinoku vs. Kaientai June 29th, 1998 "Monday Night Raw": With last night's First Blood Match ending in suspicious circumstances, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin requests a rematch against Kane for the WWF Title...... and The Big Red Machine surprisingly accepts! The WWF debuts a brand new, ill-advised tournament of legitimate fights called The Brawl For All, and our first two contests are Steve Blackman vs. Marc Mero and Bradshaw vs. Mark Canterbury. We get a Triple Threat "King of Kings Match" between reigning King of the Ring Ken Shamrock and former Kings of the Ring Triple-H and Owen Hart (spoiler: despite it being called "King of Kings," the winner of the match may not be who you think!). Darren Drozdov goes one-on-one against a man making his WWF debut: Steven Regal! L.O.D. 2000 seek to reverse their losing streak by bringing back their long-time manager "Precious" Paul Ellering, but their mentor has an unexpected surprise for them. Val Venis takes on Kaientai member Dick Togo, although Val appears to be more interested in Yamaguchi-San's wife. Plus, Vince McMahon gives a warning to The Undertaker, Dustin Runnels continues to preach the word of God, and Sable refuses to tell us about her new role in the company. Enjoying the Podcast?

June 15th, 1998: "Stone Cold" Steve Austin accuses Vince McMahon of masterminding the attack on him last week, but The Boss instead points the finger at an unlikely culprit. Paul Bearer then challenges Austin and The Undertaker to face Kane and Mankind tonight.......... inside Hell in a Cell! We get the first ever Tag Team Royal Rumble, with the winning team becoming the #1 contenders for The New Age Outlaws' WWF Tag Team Titles. In a King of the Ring qualifying match, The Rock goes one-on-one with the criminally misused Vader. In the second KOTR qualifier, we get a very interesting match-up as DX members Triple-H and X-Pac are forced to go head-to-head! A newly religious Dustin Runnels faces Marc Mero, who gets quite a big surprise when Mr. McMahon reinstates the previously fired Sable. Owen Hart & Mark Henry team up to do battle with former UFC competitors / awesome bad-asses Ken Shamrock & Dan "The Beast" Severn. Val Venis takes on Chainz in what turns out to be the final WWF match for the leader of The Disciples of Apocalypse. "Double-J" Jeff Jarrett squares off with Darren Drozdov (perhaps he should be called "Double-D"?). Avatar makes his return to the WWF to confront Jerry "The King" Lawler over the fact that Al Snow still has not gotten the meeting which was promised to him. Plus, we get our final Edge vignette before his debut next week, and an underwhelming tag team makes its final appearance on "Raw." Meanwhile over on "Nitro," The Big Show smokes a cigarette during his match! Enjoying the Podcast? E-mail us at rawattitudepodcast@gmail.com or Tweet us @RawAttitudePod!

June 8th, 1998: Thanks to his charitable endeavors, Vince McMahon will be honored with a Humanitarian of the Year Award, and he's feeling so generous that he even invites "Stone Cold" Steve Austin to join the ceremony. However, The Undertaker is still looking to have a face-to-face conversation with the boss, and he's willing to disrupt "Raw" as much as possible in order to get what he wants. "Summerslam" will take place in New York City two months from now, so the WWF sent D-Generation-X out into the streets of The Big Apple, where Triple-H proceeds to bust out several offensive accents. Later in the night, The New Age Outlaws are ordered to defend their WWF Tag Team Titles against L.O.D. 2000 and The Disciples of Apocalypse in a Triple Threat Match, but the Outlaws hatch a brilliant plan to get the better of their opponents. In our first King of the Ring Qualifying Match, Ken Shamrock takes on Kama, whose Nation of Domination pals are banned from ringisde. In our second qualifier, Owen Hart goes one-on-one with Scorpio in what turns out to be a very solid match. And in our third qualifier, Dan "The Beast" Severn squares off with D'Lo Brown, with the finish of the match being the launching point for D'Lo's rise to prominence in the WWF. Jeff Jarrett & Marc Mero team up to face the opponents they each beat last week: Faarooq & Steve Blackman. Val Venis takes on Dustin Runnels, who is making his first apperance on "Raw" in three weeks. Mark Henry and Vader go head-to-head in an attempt to figure out who is the biggest 400-pound jobber on the roster. Darren Drozdov has a match with Chainz because, well, sometimes you just have to fill three minutes of TV time. Plus, Al Snow continues to seek a meeting with Vince McMahon, we get an Edge vignette which provides the audio for his future theme music, and Sable gets a tribute video because she is most definitely gone from the WWF forever. Meanwhile over on "Nitro," a famous trouble-making basketball player skips practice before Game 4 of the NBA Finals to hang out with Hulk Hogan! Enjoying the Podcast?

Kris & David are joined by Dave Prazak (@DavePrazak) to discuss the almost-week that was October 6-10, 1999 as we covered the 11th & 12th on a previous episode. This show starts with a fantastic discussion of the infamous Heroes of Wrestling PPV—the reason Kyle Rieger asked for this week as a $25 Patreon pick—and folks, if you haven't watched this show, you need to, as it's one for the ages. Of course, we talk about Jake Roberts, but there is so much other stuff that was crazy as well, both on camera and behind the scenes, so this is a can't miss segment. We also talk about the death of Gorilla Monsoon and the tragic career ending injury suffered by Darren Drozdov, including how the WWF really dropped the ball in many ways with how they handled the injury publicly on SmackDown two days later. Other things discussed are the pro debuts of Wataru Inoue, Katsuyori Shibata, and Hiroshi Tanahashi in New Japan, Ray Gonzalez becoming “Mr. Raytings” in WWC, Tammy Sytch's infamous sit-down interview on ECW's TNN show, Jerry Lawler coming up short in the Memphis mayoral election, Jesse Ventura's Playboy interview, then, finally, World Championship Wrestling. There, the top story is the immediate aftermath of Vince Russo & Ed Ferrara joining the promotion, including all of the details as to how it went down. This is a fantastic show, as it always is when Prazak is on with us, so LISTEN NOW!!!!!Timestamps:0:00:00 Heroes of Wrestling1:55:19 WWF3:09:22 Eurasia: AJPW, NJPW, BattlARTS, FMW, NOW, Osaka Pro, SPWF, Toryumon, RINGS, Arsion, GAEA, VDB Top Catch, & BWF3:32:34 Classic Commercial Break3:37:24 Halftime3:51:30 Other North America: Stampede, AAA, CMLL, IWRG, WWC, & MMA4:07:27 Other USA: CZW, UCW, NWA Wildside, IPW, OVW, HWA, Jerry Lawler's failed mayoral bid, Power Pro, KAW, Dale Gagner's AWA, APW, & Jesse Ventura5:20:45 WCW6:25:32 Patreon Preview: Vince McMahon's initial public response to the nWo/Outsiders angleTo support the show and get access to exclusive rewards like special members-only monthly themed shows, go to our Patreon page at Patreon.com/BetweenTheSheets and become an ongoing Patron.
