Sunday Night Heat

Sunrise, Florida
May 16, 1999

Two superstars that will battle for the Tag Team Championship next Sunday at Over the Edge met in singles competition on HEAT, as X-Pac took on D'Lo Brown, accompanied by Ivory. As D'Lo recovered in the corner from a Bronco Buster, Ivory entered the ring and slapped X-Pac across the face! As the referee disqualified D'Lo, the Chicago native attacked the degenerate from behind, nailed him with the Sky High and stomped him before walking away.

Shane McMahon and the Corporate Ministry marched to the ring so that Shane could make a few announcements. First Shane announced a "warm up match" for Stone Cold Steve Austin, ordering the Rattlesnake to take on Triple H on RAW just six days before the champion defends the title at Over the Edge. Turning his attention to The Rock, Shane said the "Great One" is forbidden from wearing his cast at Over the Edge. Further, The Rock will take on the Undertaker on RAW in a Casket Match!

In tag team competition, Droz and Prince Albert took on Gangrel and Christian of the Brood. As the match got underway, Ryan Shamrock, who hasn't been seen in weeks, walked down to the ring, distracting Droz. Gangrel seized the opportunity and dropped Droz with a Russian legsweep, and then went over and attacked Prince Albert. As the referee tried to separate Gangrel and Albert, Edge entered the ring, picked up Christian on his shoulders, and dropped him onto Droz! The referee turned around and the Brood got the win! Ryan walked back up the entranceway and high fived Terri Runnels, Jacqueline and Meat before Droz and Albert chased them off. Apparently Ryan has found a home with PMS! Meanwhile, Dok Hendrix made his way to the ring and confronted all three Brood members. The lights went out and when they came back on the Brood (yes, the Brood) was the victim of a blood bath. Up on the entranceway, Dok stood with the Hardy Boyz!

In a Hardcore Match, the Road Dogg took on Hardcore Holly. Al Snow came out during the match with Head and Pierre the deer head-the Hardcore Title strapped around Pierre. Holly, who for weeks has been trying everything to get himself a rematch for the Hardcore Title, realized that Snow now apparently thinks Pierre is Hardcore Champion. Holly completely forgot about the match and was quickly pinned by Road Dogg after a pumphandle slam. Afterwards, Holly clobbered Snow with a chair, and grabbed Pierre and destroyed him by bashing him against a ring post!

Next up, Jerry "The King" Lawler interviewed Val Venis, who was still angry after being set up by Debra and Jeff Jarrett over the last few weeks. In fact, the Big Valbowski challenged the duo to a match at Over the Edge! His partner? None other than Nicole Bass! Val and Nicole have apparently come to some sort of agreement-"this is strictly business, not pleasure," Val insisted. Nicole promised Debra that at the Pay-Per-View next Sunday, "I'm gonna make chow out of your puppies!"

After D'Lo and X-Pac battled earlier, the other two superstars in the Tag Team Championship Match at Over the Edge, Kane and Mark Henry, met in singles competition. Trying to gain a psychological advantage heading into the Pay-Per-View, D'Lo interrupted the match as Kane went for a chokeslam, and "Sexual Chocolate" and D'Lo double teamed the Big Red Machine. But X-Pac evened the score and the Tag Team Champions fought off the challengers-at least until next Sunday!

In what proved to be a very quick eight-man tag team match, the Union took on Too Much and D.O.A. The Union wasn't outnumbered like they normally are against the Corporate Ministry, so Mankind, Ken Shamrock, the Big Show and Test were without their 2x4s. The Big Show chokeslammed and pinned one of the bikers after just a few moments. After the match, the entire Corporate Ministry came out. The Union seemed to be in trouble without their equalizers, but Shamrock went underneath the ring and grabbed the 2x4s. The Corporate Ministry had been walking to the ring, but they stopped in their tracks when they saw the 2x4s, and HEAT ended in a standoff!
