The History of the WWF Volume XIV: 1999: From 1985 to the Present
Imagine going back in time and reliving WWF history as it actually happened. Not as the WWE wants to present it, but as it actually aired. No longer would superstars disappear from the history books or angles be edited out because they’re deemed too offensive to WWE’s current corporate philosophy. Instead, you’d see the WWF as it aired, as you remembered it if you’re old enough, or as it really happened for the first time if you’re a younger fan. You’d see the WWF that turned a regional promotion into a global billion dollar powerhouse. You’d see the WWF that the fans who grew up on the product came to know and love.
Welcome to a year-by-year account of the WWF. This is the history of the WWF as presented on television. Not Vince McMahon’s revisionist history, but the WWF that aired on television. This series follows the weekly shows, PPVs, and major events that made the WWF (and later WWE) the household name that it is. Love it or hate it, the WWF has become part of the world’s culture and the events in this book helped define that culture.
For 1999, see The Rock become one of the biggest stars in the history of the industry. Watch Triple H go from Shawn Michaels's sidekick to the WWF Champion. Witness the first major WCW stars jumping ship to the WWF and the first woman to compete in not only the Royal Rumble, but the King of the Ring Tournament. 1999 also features the terrible "Kennel from Hell" match and the lackluster Greater/Higher Power reveal. Sadly, 1999 would also feature one of the most tragic moments in professional wrestling in the death of Owen Hart. All of those events and more are covered in full in this edition of The History of the WWF.
