Revisiting WWF Heat 1999 - The Rock’s Infamous Promo On Billy Gunn

"But my name's Billy..."

After having such a good time reviewing WWF Heat recently, we decided to jump back in for one of the more infamous moments in the history of this show. A moment that we didn't even realize took place on Heat! On July 11th, 1999, The Rock showed up on Heat to deliver a promo that would change the course of Billy Gunn's career, and is still talked about to this day.

"Mr. Ass" Billy Gunn has been attacking The Rock over the past few weeks, and The Rock finally has something to say about it here on The Rock's Show, Heat!

Of course, there is a lot more going on somehow. We're on the road to WWF Fully Loaded, and The Big Show has drawn some attention from a lot of the boys in the back. More specifically, The Undertaker & his brother Kane have seemingly re-united to take down the big man, and he's here tonight to put a stop to it. He even debuts a new catchphrase!

Also on this show, The Brood are looking to get back to their winning ways as Edge, Gangrel & Christian take on three members of The Corporate Ministry in Big Bossman, Viscera, & Mideon. The Brood cut another fantastic promo, but at the end of this one, The Brood seemingly is no more, as Gangrel turns his back on Edge.

We can't forget about all the HUGE matches on this show, as well. The Hardy Boyz defend their WWF Tag Team Championships against Droz & Prince Albert. Billy Gunn (Mr. Ass) goes one-on-one with Test, while Shane McMahon & The Mean Street Posse watch from commentary. No one wants to wrestle Al Snow, so he comes up with his own match against WWF Super Astros best in Max Mini, Mini Nova, Battalion, & El Torito. Our big main event is a NO HOLDS BARRED match with Bradshaw, who has a concussion, and Kane!

All of that, and so much more, on this edition of the DEADLOCK Podcast!
