Jessie Ventura came back later that year to ref the main event at SummerSlam but it would've been gold if he was there earlier to feud against "The Union."
this video was QUALITY, Jack. I watched it on the TV while I ate dinner. everything about it from top to bottom - so good. the difference between this and "2016 Jack" is insane. loved it.
I like this weird series. This Raw was about a year before I started watching wrestling, so I don't remember it. Plus, this video comes out right at my lunch break, which is cool
I started watching from Jan 1999 and id recommend if you have the network watch from at least 1997. Theres a lot of good stuff that lead up to the big boom they had from 1999-2000. The work Bret Hart was doing before he left and the rise of Stone Cold / Rock / Foley / HHH is all worth checking out
I saw Kane live in the 90s and he truly was an absolute monster he was taller and bigger then anyone on that roster he had muscles for days everywhere this dude was a monster
and now Kane's just... some old overweight sweaty conservative guy in a Florida city where he cries about the 'snowflake youth' and is just all around... a shit person
Angry Val Venus has got me dying over here. The logic of Val being pissed off because Double J is “forcing” him to try and steal his girl might be Russo’s best work of his career.
Nobody popped for “Real American” because they did this often in the Attitude Era. They used it as a comedy spot entrance several times. That, Gilberg and several other things were digs at WCW. So that’s why people were more curious as to whom was coming out, who’s going to make fun of Hulk this time? 😂
Quality content Jack. I love this, and I loved the previous Smackdown review... Boy is this the worst timing ever to praise Glenn Jacobs without qualifiers! (Sincerely from the 28th of February 2022)

I have the May 10, 1999 episode on RAW is WAR on a random VHS tape, and although this RAW was indeed weird as hell, storylines, and the flow of the show was indeed weird overall, very messing, I strangely, very strangely liked it, I don't know why, and to this day I still why was attracted to this episode, but perhaps because I was a kid during time too, and didn't really know any better. Vince Russo was just an odd man, but strangely captivating at the same time. I mean it was the Attitude Era after all, so much stuff back then was truly weird and not really explainable. I can't believe I actually liked this episode tho. 😔
Ok the real American sistuition was Vince owned real American n was ribbing hogan that he could use it n use hulkamania gimmick as he did with the showster but reason nobody pop was they knew hogan was signed to wcw for 1 & 2 they knew that that was the stooges theme they been using it
Fantastic Jack. Really took us on a journey through Russo's RAW in 1999 there. Echoing everyone's comments here, I could listen to you humorously mock anything because your presenting style is so much fun to listen to. I need to go back and watch the other one.
The Corporate Ministry should've never happened somebody else should've been the Higher Power instead of it being Vince McMahon that was very anti climactic IMO
Jack, I'm not part of the "please leave a comment about how great this series is..... and call me Jack" crowd so please excuse me. The comedy attempts you insert between every other sentence didn't have me laughing at all. Idk what's wrong with me Jack. Clearly you're hilarious based on all these "please leave a comment about how great this series is .... and call me Jack."
Ross always threw out the rules when it came to Austin. He was Austin's biggest fan and one of his biggest supporters. However, it shows that a lot of these older guys do not really care so much as they are falling into melancholy of a time long passed.
Theres a DDT Digest arena report for this show, it notes that there was a Dark Match between Owen Hart and Kurt Angle as well as several fights breaking out in the crowd.
YO....THIS IS CRAZY...This RAW was on my 18th Birthday..The day I officially became an adult lol crazy...May 10 1981....Respects...Iam writing before I watch soooo....👊👊
The first RAW I remember watching was the one where Stone Cold came out and flipped off Tyson HOLY SHIT that was insane.... The moment I remember most from 98' was The Rock giving Shamrock that fucking chair shot lol. And I remember Austim vs McMahon with 1 hand tied behind Austin's back and Dude Love giving Austin the Mandable Claw. Those were such great times man......... Felt real.
absolutely loving this series so far, jack's writing has obviously peaked with "Hustle, Loyalty, What are those"
Jack didn't write it up. It was Dees. Get it right mark
VKM booking himself in a faction called "The Union" is pretty fucking hilarious
Jessie Ventura came back later that year to ref the main event at SummerSlam but it would've been gold if he was there earlier to feud against "The Union."
I assume now that he's back he'll be forming a stable called "The Consent".
@@SsnakeBitethe nDa
The irony of a kayfabe union when Vince is the king of union busting
He's like the owner of FedEx but... insane😂
99 is pretty meh in comparison to 97, 98, 00 and hell, maybe even 01
Is Vince Russon getting paid royalties by Cultaholic, since he surely created the majority of content for this series?
this video was QUALITY, Jack. I watched it on the TV while I ate dinner. everything about it from top to bottom - so good. the difference between this and "2016 Jack" is insane. loved it.
Shit at this point it's hard to remember the jack the jobber days it's crazy how different things are
Jack the jobber was just a boy, this is Jack the mid carder
Nothing tops Corporate Ministry Jack
Hyped to see more of these, this is a gold mine and of course Jack's writing and presenting is on point.
I like this weird series. This Raw was about a year before I started watching wrestling, so I don't remember it. Plus, this video comes out right at my lunch break, which is cool
Think I was around 2000 aswell. Trying to pinpoint exactly when I started watching by going through old eps and clips
I started watching from Jan 1999 and id recommend if you have the network watch from at least 1997. Theres a lot of good stuff that lead up to the big boom they had from 1999-2000. The work Bret Hart was doing before he left and the rise of Stone Cold / Rock / Foley / HHH is all worth checking out
That's funny because this was about a year, maybe 2, before I stopped watching.
@@MeNoSpeakJibberish I feel like we had wcw and ecw on uk tv but you had to have sky to get wwf, not sure but feel like I remember that
@@wnrr2696 WCW was on ch5 but ECW was on Bravo on sky
And Vince Russo wonders why he can't find work in wrestling?
I found it weird that there was two referees for the Stone Cold/The Undertaker match at Over The Edge.
I mean, Mae gave birth to a hand during Chris´s reign so I don´t think he was that good
If triple h can wear jorts I can also
If you're doing impact ones, there were definitely some odd ones during the hogan/bishoff time that should suit the series
I really love this series. Love the character you bring in presenting this. Hope it keeps going.
I saw Kane live in the 90s and he truly was an absolute monster he was taller and bigger then anyone on that roster he had muscles for days everywhere this dude was a monster
Except for the big show and prime undertaker 😂
and now Kane's just... some old overweight sweaty conservative guy in a Florida city where he cries about the 'snowflake youth' and is just all around... a shit person

The shout-out to Chris Kreski was great. The only other time I heard him referenced was on the Attitude Era Podcast (always a great listen)
Jack the mid card talent has arrived
"What's that sound?
It's a fire engine."
😅
Apologies if he mentions it, but isn’t the ppv they were leading up to here the one where owen hart dies?
COOOOOOL KANE!

You can tell how excited Jack is to film these lol.
After the finger poke of doom the world was tired of hulk Hogan
People forget there was a lot of garbage in the Attitude Era.
Tornado Tag. Not explained properly by (hack) writer Shitstain.
TYFYB
Hustle, Loyalty & WHAT ARE THOSE...😂🤣😂 That's some good sh@ damn it😂🤣
Russo could write a story but his finishes and the match itself weren't good. He's not a booker or agent, he's a writer

@@KalmoK I know. I wanna know who she was.

Agree with Kane's ability to take bumps, I loved that tangle, and anytime he ends up tied up, He looks like a bear who's cub you're teasing just out of reach
This wasn't recorded recently was it lol bc of the kane stuff
I didnt not expect to see Monica Seles in a wrestling video
Evening gown matches need to come back but it’s exclusively for the male wrestlers.
Who doesn’t want to see Brock Lesner try to walk in heels
This is probably my favourite raw ever. Opening segment anyway.
Shawn michaels was a good commissioner
Actually thrasher was injured which is why Chaz got repackaged
Bro its was an Tornado Tag! So everything rule confirm
Union Of People You Ottta Respect Shane! U.P.Y.O.R.S!

The girl from Wacky Races? Penelope Pitstop?
So this should have been called shawn Michael's was over and did what he wanted lol
penelope pitstop, eh? bit of a poisoned chalice, wouldn't you say?
This was the first raw I ever watched as a kid so I've got a soft spot for it.
Can you confirm if The Stooges entrance was a dub or not?
This is honestly one of my all-time favourite episodes of WWE television
Makes sense since it's the highest rated of the Monday Night Wars
Mine too.. it's gold
And to think this was the highest rated episode of Raw. I loved it when it aired.
Highest rated Raw episode of the Monday Night Wars
3 days after Owen’s last birthday. 😢
I remember this episode. I have it recorded somewhere on VHS along with an episode of Soul Train and Snoop on the Donny and Marie show.
This just goes to show WWE has been using the same formula forever. The only thing that's changed is the lack of huge stars.
Markyd123 did something like this much earlier.
There has to be a 2000's WCW show covered in this series. Unfortunately never seen any of it, but I've heard horror stories...
Try any episode of WCW Thunder
...Which really begs the question... was Jim Duggan not available to join "The Union"?
He was still in wcw at the time
Crowd always cheers to real American. It's nostalgia
15:17
I like to think that's how Val Venis looks these days as he mindlessly spouts his Qanon drivel on Twitter.
Russo's stuff was super over in 99. Nobody cared about Melter's sensibilities.
WCW 2000 will be good content for this series
Was that a Jimmy John's bag on the cat's head? I'm literally eating Jimmy John's right now.
Debra was the most overrated Diva ever to grace WWF.
Night stick on a pole, man I wonder who booked that? Oh, right it was Shawn Michaels and no one else...

I like it because it the only wwf raw i went to see was a kid
Come on Jack, you and I both know his name is Billy Ass.
Yooooo jack this was pretty fun
12:32 is the greatest imagery I've ever seen in my life!
Chef's kiss!!
I honestly think Billy Gunn looks better in 2022 then in 1999 and I was an adult in 1999 too.
RAW had better flow back then.
Jack rocking the Adidas in solidarity with Slavs everywhere in this trying time.
Penelope Pitstop...I love that cartoon!
The Corporate Ministry should've never happened somebody else should've been the Higher Power instead of it being Vince McMahon that was very anti climactic IMO
Not that I disagree, but who else could it have been?

What's wrong with hhh shorts?
Biggest thing I learned from this? Your did isnb't Viscera. It's Graham/Graeme, LOL
I really enjoyed this vid, Jack's delivery was spot on.
Coke makes you feel hot lol
Pretty excited for the Kane v Hangman Page feud that's gearing up on Twitter. That's gotta be Republican Party hack KANE!!!
Jack is really coming out of his shell with this series absolutely fantastic video
My new favorite series on the channel!
I love the evolution of Jack’s presenting style.
I will hear no Albert slander !
wait, vince wa spart of the union? why are they holding planks of wood? why?
Theres a DDT Digest arena report for this show, it notes that there was a Dark Match between Owen Hart and Kurt Angle as well as several fights breaking out in the crowd.
A man of culture!
God, I loved checking DDTDigest regularly. So much fun in the reviews and recaps.
jack is just nice to watch, you know what i mean? calming voice but still so funny
Caught in 4k Simpin.
Mosh did not decide the Beaver Cleavage gimmick. That should be obvious.
Can you do 2004
YO....THIS IS CRAZY...This RAW was on my 18th Birthday..The day I officially became an adult lol crazy...May 10 1981....Respects...Iam writing before I watch soooo....👊👊

I like the video
This must of been around the time of WWF No Mercy in Manchester UK the 1st ppv I ever ordered 😊
