October 22, 201410 yr Author comment_5634934 This crowd is rocking. Shane challenges X-Pac to a Greenwich Street Fight that evening on RAW. Vince suspects that Austin and Undertaker are conspiring to ensure that he's not fully supporting Rock going into Wrestlemania, but Vince says no way is that happening. Rock taunts Austin when he's shown watching all of this via Titantron. Rock will be ref for Austin vs Big Show tonight. This brings Mankind out in his referee outfit to suggest he and Rock square off tonight with the winner becoming the special ref for Austin vs Show. Vince and Rock laugh off that idea, but Vince has a piece of paper from Shawn authorizing it. Rock: The Rock says you can kiss his ass. Mankind: But I gave that up for lent. Austin has words for Rock in the best promo so far hyping this show. The segment ends with the famous moment of Austin driving the beer truck to the ring and giving Vince, Shane and Rock a beer bath, with Vince selling it beautifully, even acting like he's trying to swim his way out of it.
December 19, 201410 yr comment_5646117 The famous beer truck segment. Quite a block buster segment with a molten crowd and doing a good job hyping the rest of the show. Does make this RAW feel like a big deal. Vince is great selling the beer soaking.
February 7, 201510 yr comment_5653238 Everytime Vince gets on the mic, the fans chant asshole at him. Just an incredible crowd. Nitro might have had more fans at the beach but this crowd was hotter. The beer truck segment is one of the biggest Raw moments ever.
March 16, 201510 yr comment_5658857 This is the money angle Mania has been missing as everyone has a purpose and comes out and we get a classic segment with tons of stuff going on and culminating in the beer bath which can be replayed to this day. Money segment in every sense of the word.
May 6, 20178 yr comment_5799466 A money segment for sure and one of the iconic moments of the era. Maybe the strongest overall WWF segment of 1999, since the Russo-ism is minimized to the finagling over the referees and the rest is about all these incredible dynamic personalities showing off. Austin cuts one of his best promos in months--checking into the Smackdown Hotel and BURNING THAT SUMBITCH TO THE GROUND. Everything is focused on what's going to happen at WrestleMania and we close out with an indelible image that Vince puts over beautifully.
