As I've mentioned before in this series, 1999 doesn't get nearly as much attention when talking about the downfall of WCW as 2000 does, it's still a brutal year for the company. In the aftermath of the Fingerpoke of Doom, WCW had found themselves trailing the WWF in the Monday Night Wars, stuck in a hole that was only getting deeper as the weeks went by. A big part of that was the big decline in quality for the company, something that is perfectly exemplified by their pay-per-view outputs in the summer of '99.

The show currently sits at a 3.47 rating on Cagematch, putting it a lot closer to the bottom of WWE's pay-per-view rated on the site than it is to the top. Today, I'll be looking at four matches from this show. Match #1: The Undertaker vs Muhammad Hassan We'll be skipping over the first three matches, a mostly forgettable Tag Team title match where MNM defended against Road Warrior Animal & Heidenreich, a fine enough match between Booker T and Christian, and a decent United States t...
