Sunday Night Heat

April 18, 1999

Rumors have been swirling that Shane McMahon felt bad about slapping his father on RAW, and he was going to apologize on HEAT. Shane came out as HEAT got underway to immediately put those rumors to rest. He said slapping his father felt great, and using his sister to draw his father out to the ring was nice, too. Referring to Vince and Stephanie's recent troubles with the Undertaker, Shane said that is their problem, and he had his own priorities--running the Corporation. Turning his attention to Stone Cold Steve Austin, Shane said he couldn't wait until Backlash this Sunday when, as special referee, he gets to count one, two, three and once again crown The Rock as the Federation Champion.

After leaving Shane McMahon's Corporation last week, Ken Shamrock was forced into a Handicap Match against Test and the Big Boss Man. As Test went to make a tag, Boss Man backed away, telling Test that the youngster had to learn the hard way. Shamrock seized the opportunity, hitting Test with a belly-to-belly suplex and then slapping on the ankle-lock submission hold. For the second straight week, Test's Corporate partner walked away from him, and he was forced to tap out. Backstage, Boss Man and Test exchanged words and had to be separated by Shane. Shane said if Boss Man wanted Shamrock, he would get him on RAW in a no-holds-barred match. Turning to Test, Shane said the Corporate Insurance Policy has been dropping the ball lately and he had better pick it up!

Tiger Ali Singh offered any American woman $500 to massage his "royal" feet. It looked like Terri Runnels and Jacqueline of PMS accepted the offer, but when they found out they wouldn't be getting $500 each, they held down Tiger's legs and a large man from the crowd attacked the Asian aristocrat! Security ran in the ring to escort the man away, but PMS stopped them, explaining that the man was with them! After beating Tiger senseless, the man walked away triumphantly with Jacqueline and Terri.

Next up, Jim Ross conducted a special interview with The Rock. The crown jewel of the Corporation promised that this Sunday at Backlash he would become a four-time Federation Champion, and he would end Stone Cold Steve Austin's career!

One week after walking away from the Ministry of Darkness, the Brood-all three of them-took on Viscera and Midian of the Ministry. The Brood took control by ganging up on each member of the Ministry, but the Acolytes came out and, with the help of Midian and Viscera, put a beating on the Brood.

The Federation Women's Champion, Sable, came out next and said that Sable Inc. is the hottest stock on Wall Street. Sable Inc. is in such demand that the femme fatale had to hire a bodyguard to watch her back-the largest female bodybuilder in the world, Nicole Bass! The champion said that if anyone wanted to take over Sable Inc., they would have to go through Bass!

The Tag Team Championship was on the line as The Rock and Triple H challenged X-Pac and Kane. The Big Red Machine was a no show for the first few minutes of the match, and X-Pac went at it alone. Finally, Kane came out and evened the odds. But Jeff Jarrett and Owen Hart ran out and attacked the Tag Team Champions. And then the New Age Outlaws came after Owen and Jeff! The Outlaws cleaned house, leaving X-Pac and Kane alone in the ring. X-Pac tried to talk to his partner, trying to get the Big Red Machine to trust him. As HEAT came to an end, it looked as if X-Pac and Kane had a moment of solidarity.
