Ranking All 20 WWE July PPVs - From Worst to Best

17. Fully Loaded 1999

For as popular as the Attitude Era was, the creative quality of 1999 in particular was lacking compared to 97, 98, and 2000. €œCrash TV€ was going into overkill, as Vince McMahon bounced between babyface and heel with the higher power angle. The main draw of this show was the billing of €œEnd of an Era,€ with the main event of Steve Austin defending the WWF Championship against The Undertaker in a First Blood match. If Austin lost, he€™d never challenge for the WWF Title again. If he won, Vince McMahon must leave WWF television forever. It was obvious that neither stipulation was going to stick, and that€™s exactly what happened, as Vince appeared on television two months later. The booking had teased that Austin would lose the belt, as the Intercontinental title, Tag Team titles, European Title and Hardcore title all changed hands in the first four matches respectively. In other action, Big Show beat Kane (think how crazy this sounds when you consider both Show and Kane still have prominent positions on the show in 2015), Ken Shamrock faced Steve Blackman in an Iron Circle match, Road Dogg and X-Pac won the rights to DX from Billy Gunn and Chyna, and Triple H became number one contender by beating The Rock.
