Originally, The Big Show was never involved in the WWF Title main event at the 1999 Survivor Series. He was a replacement for Steve Austin, who pulled out due to injury. A backstage segment was filmed showing Austin being run over by a mystery man. Kurt Angle did make his in-ring WWF debut against Shawn Stasiak, but Chyna was also booked to beat Chris Jericho and defend the Intercontinental Title. This was a match Jericho claimed he tried to forget.
