[1999-09-20-WWF-Raw] The Rock & Mankind vs The Undertaker & Big Show (Dark Side Rules)

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Rock is in street clothes since he wasn't scheduled to wrestle tonight originally. I love when they get those details right. Undertaker apparently did a pretty scathing anti-Rock promo earlier in the night where he said Rock had TV writers scripting his material, and Rock responds. We don't know what Dark Side Rules are, even as the match is beginning. Undertaker, who was injured at the time and they were disguising it through angles, does commentary and leaves Show to team with Mideon and Viscera. Lights go out in the middle of the match, then Kane shows up. Undertaker seems to think Kane is on his side, but Kane attacks Big Show. Then Mideon is left on his own to get a Mandible Claw, Rock Bottom and People's Elbow to give Rock & Sock the tag titles to a gigantic pop.

Rock and Big Show are in street clothes. Match turns into a 3 on 2 as Mideon and Vis show up. Taker doesn't even get into the ring. Crowd goes nuts for the finish.

How times have changed...

This was weird and made no sense but was fun and the crowd popped big.

Another nothing match but the street clothes was a nice touch and good lord does the roof blow off the building when Rock N Sock win. The Kane stuff felt convoluted. 1/2*

Yeah, I don't know if the Kane stuff is necessary since there's no prospect of Undertaker wrestling anytime soon, and it's not like jabrones like Mideon and Viscera needed a bunch of protection. But hey, this isn't boring or anything and the crowd loves it. The tag titles change hands yet again.
