Episode 72: The Union Is Formed!

The Raw Attitude Podcast

May 3rd, 1999: Now that Shane McMahon and The Undertaker have joined forces to create The Corporate Ministry, Mankind teams up with The Big Show, Ken Shamrock, and Test to form a Union of his own. However, Shane does not take too kindly to this new alliance, so he proceeds to schedule a bunch of matches which are slanted in The Corporate Ministry's favor. Not only that, but Shane challenges his father Vince McMahon to a match tonight.... but will the chairman accept? In our main event, WWF Champion "Stone Cold" Steve Austin faces The Rock in a Lumberjack Match, with The Corporate Ministry acting as lumberjacks. Mankind must compete in a hard-hitting Hardcore Handicap Match against The Acolytes. The Undertaker steps into the ring with The Big Show, which leads to one of the most awesomely brutal spots you'll ever see (hint: it involves a baseball bat). Ken Shamrock is ordered to face Triple-H..... in a match where Chyna is the special guest referee. We get a Four Corners Match: Test vs. The Big Boss Man vs. Mideon vs. Viscera (which is really more of a 3-on-1 Handicap Match). The recently-fired Pat Patterson & Gerald Brisco return to the ring against Mean Street Posse members Rodney & Pete Gas. Fresh off a heel turn on the pilot episode of "Smackdown," Billy Gunn does battle with his former DX stablemate X-Pac. WWF Women's Champion Sable is ordered to defend her title against Debra in an Evening Gown Match, but Sable may have other priorities instead. Plus, we get the on-screen debut of the infinitely charismatic Linda McMahon! Enjoying the Podcast? E-mail us at [e-mail] or Tweet us @RawAttitudePod!
