Survivor Series (1999) - Event - Preliminary Matches

Preliminary Matches

The first match that aired live on the pay-per-view was a Four-on-four Survivor Series elimination match pitting Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von) and Acolytes Protection Agency (Faarooq and Bradshaw) against The Godfather, D'Lo Brown and The Headbangers (Mosh and Thrasher). Godfather's team suffered the first elimination when Bradshaw pinned Thrasher after performing a Clothesline from Hell. Mosh was eliminated next when Dudley Boyz performed a 3D. APA and Dudley Boyz suffered their first elimination when Bradshaw was disqualified for hitting Brown with a steel chair. D-Von took advantage and tried to pin Brown but Faarooq broke up the pin because he wanted to make the pinfall himself. As a result, Faarooq and D-Von started brawling outside the ring and were counted-out. Bubba Ray was the remaining member of APA and Dudley Boyz and was double-teamed when Godfather performed a Ho Train, followed by Brown performing a Lo Down on Bubba Ray for the victory. As a result, Godfather and Brown became the survivors of their team.

The second match was a standard wrestling match between Kurt Angle and Shawn Stasiak. This match was Angle's in-ring debut in WWF. Stasiak dominated much of the earlier match until Angle escaped the ring and insulted the fans by telling them not to insult an Olympic Gold Medalist. However, Stasiak beat on Angle and then climbed the top rope to perform a Diving Splash but Angle got up and caught a flying Stasiak by performing an Olympic Slam for the victory.

The third match was a Survivor Series elimination match, in which British Bulldog and Mean Street Posse (Rodney, Pete Gas, and Joey Abs) competed against Val Venis, Mark Henry, Gangrel, and Steve Blackman. Blackman made the first elimination by performing a Martial Arts Kick on Pete Gas. Gangrel then eliminated Rodney by performing The Impaler. Mean Street Posse was totally eliminated when Henry performed a Big Splash on Joey Abs. As a result, Bulldog was the only member on his team. He started dominating the match and eliminated Gangrel by performing a Superplex. Bulldog next eliminated Blackman by performing a Fisherman Suplex. Venis and Henry started double-teaming Bulldog as Henry splashed Bulldog and Venis performed a Money Shot, on Bulldog for the victory. As a result, Venis and Henry were the survivors on their team.

The fourth match was an eight-woman tag team match pitting Ivory, Luna, Jacqueline and Terri Runnels against Mae Young, The Fabulous Moolah Tori and Debra. The match went back and forth with both female teams fighting each other. The match came to its end when Moolah performed a Scoop Slam on Ivory and splashed her to win the match.

The fifth match was a standard wrestling match between Kane and X-Pac. When Kane entered the ring and his entrance pyros were going off, X-Pac did not wait for him and quickly attacked him but Kane easily started dominating the match. Kane climbed the top rope but X-Pac dropkicked him outside the ring. The action quickly returned to the ring where X-Pac performed three consecutive Spinning Heel Kicks on Kane and then attempted to perform a Bronco Buster on Kane in the ropes but Kane avoided it. Kane then climbed the top rope and performed a Flying Clothesline on X-Pac before following it by performing a Chokeslam and attempted to pin X-Pac, but X-Pac's D-Generation X teammate Road Dogg interfered in the match by pulling Kane's foot. Kane, however, rolled into the ring where X-Pac performed a X-Factor on Kane and started attacking him, but Kane threw X-Pac away. Kane eventually attempted to perform a Tombstone Piledriver,but Triple H interfered and hit Kane in the face with a belt. Kane was then placed in the corner as Tori ran to the ring to stop X-Pac's Bronco Buster. She was kicked in the face as Kane fought off all of the DX members to rescue her.

After the match, The Rock was trying to give an interview but Triple H interrupted the interview and attacked Rock. As a result, Rock and Triple H started brawling until they were separated by several WWF officials. The next match was a Handicap Survivor Series match pitting Big Boss Man, Prince Albert, Mideon, and Viscera against The Big Show. The Big Show was the only member on his team because he had attacked all of his teammates prior to the event. However, he single-handedly dominated the match when he chokeslammed Mideon at the 18-second mark for the first elimination. The Big Show next eliminated Prince Albert by performing a Chokeslam at the 30-second mark. Viscera was next eliminated by The Big Show at the 55-second mark. Due to The Big Show having eliminated all of Big Boss Man's teammates within a minute, Boss Man chose not to wrestle The Big Show and left the ring and ran to the backstage. He got counted-out. As a result, The Big Show won the match and ran after Boss Man to the backstage.

After the match, Stone Cold Steve Austin was being interviewed but Triple H also interrupted this interview, like he had done to Rock, moments ago. Austin started chasing Triple H in the backstage area until a car drove up and ran down Austin at high speed. The WWF Chairman Vince McMahon confronted Triple H, D-Generation X, and WWF's head of security, Jim Dawson but Triple H claimed that he was not to be blamed because he did not do such thing. WWF officials loaded Austin into the ambulance and Austin was removed from the WWF Championship match against Triple H and Rock.

Famous quotes containing the words preliminary and/or matches:

    Religion is the state of being grasped by an ultimate concern, a concern which qualifies all other concerns as preliminary and which itself contains the answer to the question of a meaning of our life.
    Paul Tillich (1886–1965)

    No phallic hero, no matter what he does to himself or to another to prove his courage, ever matches the solitary, existential courage of the woman who gives birth.
    Andrea Dworkin (b. 1946)
