Episode 86: The Debut of Chris Jericho!

The Raw Attitude Podcast

August 9th, 1999: The Rock has been tormented by The Big Show lately, so he issues a challenge to the big man for a match later on tonight (while hilariously mocking him in the process). But before that match can occur..... The Millennium Countdown clock expires, and we get the WWF debut of one of the greatest wrestlers of all-time! Acting Governor of Minnesota Jesse "The Body" Ventura returns to The WWF for the first time in nine years, and he books tonight's main event: WWF Champion "Stone Cold" Steve Austin vs. The Undertaker vs. Triple-H! However, when someone ambushes "Stone Cold" backstage, Commissioner Shawn Michaels changes the bout to a #1 Contendership Match, and he inserts a surprising replacement: Chyna! The Acolytes put their WWF Tag Team Titles on the line against the resurgent team of X-Pac & Kane. Val Venis goes one-on-one with Jeff Jarrett, who continues to be displeased with Debra. WWF Hardcore Champion The Big Boss Man faces "The Road Dogg" Jesse James in a Hardcore Match...... where the title is somehow not on the line. Steve Blackman & Joey Abs square off with the formidable team of Ken Shamrock & Test. Christian steps into the ring with Gangrel, who appears to have some new friends on his side. Plus, The Rock shows up on MTV in order to make fun of Carson Daly, Billy Gunn's masseuse sabotages his glorious ass, and Kane speaks his first words without the assistance of his voicebox! Meanwhile over on "Nitro," WCW tries to counter tonight's massive episode of "Raw" with a big moment of their own: red-and-yellow Hulk Hogan returns after more than a three-year absence!
