Recap of this horrid Ministry-Corporation feud so far, which peaked with the Undertaker kidnapping Stephanie McMahon in her TV debut. Lawler conducts a sit-down interview with Vince and Stephanie. Vince recaps the storyline and this has a somber tone. This becomes oddly fascinating when they start talking about how Vince created the Undertaker gimmick and Mark has started living it too much. Stephanie has even had normal, perfectly pleasant conversations with Mark and now he's trying to abduct her, taking pictures of her in private moments, at "the shopping center" (as Vince says), and so on. As Russo as it gets.

Long, winding recap of this angle so far. Then we get a sit down interview with a somber Vince and Steph. Lawler does this interview which is a little odd. Vince allows us to go behind the curtain and talk about creating the Taker character and how he is believing it too much. Steph looks really young and has hardly any delivery skills at this point in conducting an interview.

Good recap of what the Yearbook mostly skipped from Monday's Raw. Shamrock bulldozing through the Brood and no-selling the bloodbath is one of the cooler moments of 1999 Russorama booking. This is slightly excessive but tolerable until we get to the stuff about Undertaker "believing this character that was created." The phrase "living the gimmick" is uttered. I'll grudgingly admit that the home invasion stuff and Stephanie not feeling safe there is a good bit of plot-convenience for her to be at Raw every week.
