The Raw Attitude Podcast

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. Meanwhile over in WCW, Rey Mysterio is forced to unmask because... reasons? Enjoying the Podcast? E-mail us at [e-mail] or Tweet us @RawAttitudePod!
