October 25, 201410 yr Author comment_5635344 From the pilot episode of Smackdown a few months before it officially debuted. HHH looks really out of place sharing a ring with the other three at this point. This was becoming a hell of a match before the Corporate Ministry ran in for the DQ. The Union quickly ran out to make the save and we had a huge brawl with everyone in the ring. The ring area clears of everyone except Austin and Undertaker. Vince comes to ringside and cold cocks Shane but then eats an unprotected chairshot (a hard one! Good Lord!) from Undertaker. Out of this world heat for all of this is enough to save it. “Hot” is the best way to describe all of this.

March 21, 201510 yr comment_5659777 I noticed that Test didn't participate in the beatdown of Rock so I guess that signified his face turn. The Union seemed ill conceived and way too quick for that group. This match was fun and a cool change of pace seeing Rock and Austin tag even though they aren't best buddies. That chairshot was alarming with how sick it was. The finish was crap but the overall action was good and hot for the ten minutes the match lasted. I will also say that HHH did look like he could hang here. **1/2

It's tough to keep up with everything going on in 1999. A stupid idea, but they did have great entrance music shortly after this. Apart from the very start of his career The Rock could always turn into a babyface at the flick of a switch.

June 4, 20178 yr comment_5802936 Good pick for a pilot TV show main event. Yeah, HHH is out of place, but there's a dearth of top heels outside of the Undertaker and he's a better pick than anyone else. The match itself is sort of a typical Monday night TV main event but the post-match is super-hot, with a bunch of moving parts that never feels overwhelming.
