The WWF did an excellent job on their July 1999 PPV event. Fully Loaded 1999 definitely surpassed the 1998 original. With 5 titles on the line, the action was hotter than ever. In the main event it was the First Blood-End of an Era match for the WWF Championship between Champion-Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker. Edge defends his newly won Intercontinental Title against former champ Jeff Jarrett. Tag Team Champions-The Hardy Boyz with Michael Hayes defend against the Acolytes. The European Title is up for grabs between Mideon and D-Lo Brown. For the Hardcore Title, Champion-Al Snow takes on the Big Boss Man. Also the Fully Loaded Strap Match between HHH and the Rock. The winner of this match becomes the #1 contender for the WWF Title. The battle for DX as Road Dogg Jesse James and X-Pac take on Chyna and the 1999 King of the Ring-Mr. Ass. A grudge match between Kane and the Big Show with Hardcore Holly as the special guest referee. Definitely a must-see event for any wrestling fan.

This is a great PPV. These are the matches: 1. WWF champ. Stone Cold vs. Undertaker(First Blood Match) 2. Strap Match: The Rock vs. Triple H 3. Handicap Tag Team Championship:Hardy Boyz and Michael Hayes vs. Acolytes 4. DX match: Road Dogg and X-Pac vs. Mr.A** and China 5. Kane vs. The Big Show 6. European Champ.: Mideon vs. D-Lo Brown 7. Iron Circle Match: Steve Blackman vs. Shamrock 8. I.C. Champ: Edge vs. Jeff Jarrett 9. Hardcore Champ.: Al Snow vs. Bossman

This video is one of the best Pay-Per-View 1999 events so far--going along with "Unforgiven" and "Summerslam" of 1999, as well as U.K.'s "No Mercy". Edge and Jeff Jarrett battle it out for the Intercontinental Championship which Edge holds, and scantily clad Debra distracts Edge and Gangrel gives Jeff Jarrett a hand during the match. The First Blood "End of an Era" match goes on, with the Undertaker vs. WWF Champ "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, and WWF owner Vince McMahon at ringside with his son Shane. X-Pac helps Austin win by kicking a chair into the Undertaker's face, and he starts to bleed, which costs him the match and Austin wins and....McMahon leaves the WWF...."forever". Lots of good matches included--Midian (European Champion) vs. D'Lo Brown; The Hardy Boyz (Tag Team Champions) w/Michael Hayes vs. The Acolytes; Rights to the DX Name (Road Dogg & X-Pac vs. Chyna & Billy Gunn); Strap Match (the Rock vs. Triple-H w/Billy Gunn & Chyna); and a few others.

MATCH 1: INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE: Edge Vs Jeff Jarrett - 6.5/10
A good opener but interference from various people spoils it.

MATCH 2: ACOLYTE RULES: TAG TITLES: Michael Hayes + Hardy Boys Vs The Acolytes - 6/10
Just a brawl.

MATCH 3: EUROPEAN TITLE: Mideon Vs D'LO Brown - 5/10
Very boring.

MATCH 4: HARDCORE TITLE: Al Snow Vs Big Boss Man - 8/10
This match was great, it ended up across the street from the arena.

MATCH 5: Kane Vs The Big Show - 3/10
DUD

MATCH 6: IRON CIRCLE MATCH: Steve Blackman Vs Ken Shamrock - 0/10
Confusing mess of a match.

MATCH 7: RIGHTS TO DX NAME: Billy Gunn + Chyna Vs Road Dogg + X-Pac - 7/10
Great match where the right team won.

MATCH 8: FULLY LOADED STRAP MATCH: Triple H Vs The Rock - 8/10
Different to normal strap matches

MATCH 9: FIRST BLOOD MATCH: WWF TITLE: Stone Cold Vs The Undertaker - 5/10
Wow, this match put me to sleep.

Overall Event Rating: 5/10

Great event love this video.My favorite matches were,Jeff Jarrett vs Edge for the IC title ,Big Show vs Kane, Xpac and Road Dogg vs Billy Gunn and Chyna, HHH vs The Rock in a strap match, and The Undertaker vs Stone Cold for the championship in a first blood match.

Fully Loaded was a PPV for the ages. Four title changes, allincredible matches. I especially liked the Acolytes v. HardyBoyz/Michael Hayes for the Tag belts. Mideon defends the Euro title vs. D'lo Brown in a good match (D'lo at his best). Big Boss Man vs. Al Snow in a brutal match for the Hardcore belt. Jeff Jarrett takes on IC Champ Edge in a fast-paced, exciting technical contest. Plus HHH vs. the Rock in a CLASSIC Strap match which brought HHH to his current level of stardom. Undertaker vs. Austin in a First Blood match. Also: Big Show vs. Kane w/superheavyweight Hardcore Holly as the ref. & X-Pac/Road Dogg take on former DX mates Chyna/Mr.Ass. Like I said, whether you are a casual or die-hard fan, this tape cannot be missed!

This was definitely one of the most entertaining Pay-Per-Views I have ever seen. First Blood was spectacular, although you can see the Undertaker and Austin blading their foreheads (Undertaker in front of camera, Austin put blade under ring). Strap Match - AWESOME! Midian could not put on a decent wrestling match if his life depended on it, but D'Lo rocks! Kane and Big Show was bad, but not as bad as their King of the Ring match. Edge and Jarrett was great, as were the Hardyz & Hayes Vs. Acolytes. Rights to DX was very entertaining. Vince McMahon proved why he is the most electrifying promoter in sports-entertainment today! Until we meet again, believe in the Phenom . . .

Another old WWF tape that I found from the Attitude Era of the WWF. The night after the King Of The Ring, Stone Cold Steve Austin regained the WWF Championship from the Undertaker but Taker showed that he wasn't done with Austin yet in proceeding to bust Austin open (along with doing the same act in constant weeks prior to the PPV) & challenging him to a First Blood match which for those that remember was the same match that Taker had cost Austin the title a year before. However the bigger story was Vince McMahon raising the stakes that guaranteed one way or another, this event would mark "The End Of An Era".

Intercontinental Champion Edge vs Jeff Jarrett. The night before at a house show in Toronto, Edge won his first singles title so this was the rematch. And just like his match with Owen Hart months before at BreakDown, Edge held his own against the veteran Jarrett in what was a good back & forth match with Gangrel getting involved at the end & Debra being quite the sight at ringside.

Acolyte Rules: WWF Tag Team Champions Hardy Boyz & Michael Hayes vs Acolytes. This was just a glorified handicap match with the rules being that the Acolytes can win the tag titles no matter who they pin. These two teams didn't disappoint as this was just a brawl around the ring with one moment to check out would be this clothesline that Bradshaw delivered to Jeff while in mid-air. Hayes didn't slow down the action but it was his mistake that cost his team the match that eventually lead to the Hardyz leaving Hayes in the future.

WWF European Champion Mideon vs D'Lo Brown. After months of the European title being on the shelf, it returns here but this was the first flop of the night as Mideon does nothing for me as a performer & D'Lo just wasn't good enough to bring out a good performance out of Mideon.

Hardcore Champion Al Snow vs Big Bossman. This match had a wierd storyline as Snow was begging Bossman to put him out of his misery due the "Head" driving him crazy for the past couple weeks. Anyways, this match followed the hardcore pattern that the WWF did at this point as they brawled around the arena using various weapons including a golf cart before they would out into the streets with Bossman handcuffing Snow up against the fense to win the match & the title.

Kane vs Big Show w/Special Referee Hardcore Holly. Holly was just added to the match for some comedy based on his interactions with both men throughout the couple of weeks leading to this match. Even though this did get slow at times, this was actually a good "big man vs big man" match as this was better than their previous KOTR match or even their dull Backlash 2006 encounter with the aftermath featuring Undertaker & X-Pac that planted the seeds for their tag team match at SummerSlam a month later.

Iron Circle Match: Ken Shamrock vs Steve Blackman. This resembled the Parking Lot Brawls that they would do a couple of years later involving Cena/Guerrero as they just brawled in the parking lot surrounded with cars with some of the cars coming into effect at one point before Shamrock ended things with a steel chain.

"Rights To The DX Name": X-Pac & Road Dogg vs Billy Gunn & Chyna. The stipulation to this match was that the winning team would get the rights to use the DX name. Anyways, this was the surprise of the night as everyone put forth a good effort & delivered a match that would have came off as a filler but made it fun to watch with moments like the interaction between Gunn/Dogg & even Chyna/X-Pac as we see Chyna dominate with her strength.

Fully Loaded Strap Match: The Rock vs Triple H. The winner of this match would face the WWF Champion at SummerSlam. This was a different strap match than most fans tend to expect as this didn't have the "touch the four corners rule" with the way to win being by pinfall/submission anywhere in the building. Out of all their matches, this was probably their stiffest match with both men using the leather strap at various times like Triple H choking Rock from the top turnbuckle along with one moment where Rock whipped Triple H in the chest with the strap that it made me cringe. The ending involving Billy Gunn didn't take away from this match that would have been worthy for Rock or HHH's DVD sets.

"End Of An Era" First Blood Match: WWF Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin vs The Undertaker. The climax of the Austin/McMahon feud as the stipulations here were that if Taker won, Austin couldn't get a title match ever again while if Austin won, McMahon would be forced to leave the WWF. Before the match, Vince McMahon decided to do commentary for this match. On top of that earlier in the night, both men were attacked & busted open by one another. This was a physical brawl between these two with both men selling the effect of their attack from earlier with Shane McMahon taking one of the hardest chairshots that I have ever seen in wrestling. Along with cameos from X-Pac, Triple H, The Rock & Vince McMahon, this was a wild encounter with a surprising aftermath to conclude one of the best feuds in WWF history.

In the end, there were some flops on the card that would make you skip over the event while the undercard also had some good matches with the two main events being the highlights of this show so this is one I would check out if you find it at a cheap price or just find the two main events on separate DVD sets.

FULLY LOADED 99 has to be the best undercard PPV i have ever seen besides SUMMERSLAM 98 and Wrestlemania X, The Only bad match of the night was D'LO vs Mideon, Mideon should not be in a wwf PPV but besides that match every match was non stop action packed I thought the First Blood End of an Era could of been better but it is still a good match my favorit match of the night was HHH vs THE ROCK in a Leather strape match, Overall This PPV is Fully Loaded with non stop action but it is not the best PPV of 1999 it is the best undercard PPV of 1999 but not the best Main Event i still think WWF NO MERCY is the best PPV of 1999 I give Fully Loaded 99 a 8/10 a great PPV.

The first blood match and the rights to Dx were some of the best matches ever. And The strap match made this ppv awsome
