With This Ring #55: Backlash 1999

WHERE TO STEPHANIE? Ryan and Cindy continue their journey through the Vince Russo-iffic era of WWF 1999. We move into the new year (according to the Wrestling Above Replacement schedule) and look at Backlash 1999. Among our talking points

• The night after WrestleMania Raw with abductions and Giant face turns. 
• A funeral interrupted by a monster truck
• The never-ending Hardcore title feud between Hardcore Holly and Al Snow
• The Intercontinental title’s status as a prop
• Jerry Lawler finally getting a TV friendly name for Debra’s boobs
• A wild boiler room brawl
• 2 disappointing upper mid card matches
• A main event doing it’s best to save the show
• A shocking ending…followed by 3 minutes of celebration
• A crazy Raw the next week featuring an electrifying face turn and a dark wedding

Enjoy the show!
