[1999-03-14-WWF-Sunday Night Heat] Jim Ross, Steve Williams, Big Show, Mankind, Steve Austin and The Rock

Talk about it here.

The end of the segment where Ed Ferrera mocks Jim Ross's Bells Palsy in the WWF when Tiger Ali Singh offers a fan money to impersonate him. While Jim Ross is cutting his promo, Vince sends Big Show to the ring to get rid of him and Dr. Death. They leave on their own accord and The Rock shows up shortly thereafter. Vince chases after them, as Rock and Show are having trouble getting along. They end up brawling with each other and Show is about to chokeslam Rock when Mankind comes down with a chair and goes after Show, but Show punches Mick through the chair and then chokeslams him. This brings out Austin and now Rock is the only guy in the ring. Austin suggests he's in cahoots with Big Show and that they are pulling one over on Vince. Show gets so upset that he destroys the ring like he did on an early Thunder. Total sound and fury signifying nothing.

I now want to see Big Show vs Dr. Death. This was classic Russo blending one story to another. Did you notice that you could hear the producer mention the time cues during Austin's interview. "1 minute, 30 seconds".

Everything segues into each other but not much of it resonates. I really miss the Austin videos that we got vs. HBK last year. I really don't see based on this yearbook how people enjoy the build to the main event at 15 as it has been pretty poor overall.

Yeah, there's some neat stuff here in isolation but this is total throw-shit-at-the-wall stuff as a whole. Rock and Show are now fighting each other. Mankind wants a piece of Show. Austin plants the seed that he and Show are in cahoots, which is actually a neat bit of psychology because it plays off both the St. Valentine's Day Massacre finish *and* the previous year's WrestleMania, but I'm guessing that aspect is forgotten as soon as this show's over. Show tries to tear apart the ring and that's about 1/10 as memorable as the time he and Lesnar broke the ring a few years later. It's already clear that Russo doesn't know what he has in Paul Wight.
