WWF Smackdown! (1999) - Formation Of The Corporate Ministry & The Tag Team Match - 4/29/99

[taz198666]

I love Undertaker from this time in wrestling.

[RyanPelley1]

Hmm, the Corporate Ministry. Just a couple months after The Undertaker hung a Corporation member from a Cell...

[classicalhero7]

@RyanPelley1 Everyone has a price and with all the money the corporation had they just had to get the Undertaker's price. This is the storyline of course.

[MaliceAVideo]

Damn it, I wanted to see the end of this match.

[Richard89606]

Undertaker's best theme music ever!!!!!!!

[ytrttrreeett2]

the theme scared the shit out of me when i was little lol

[SHFTproduction]

they should put it one brand but if they can have it on 2times aweek

[disasterblast]

anyone know where i can find the video where the ministry reveals vince as the higher power?

[TheRatedJSuperstar]

@disasterblast if you have not found it yet go to this The Greater Power Is Revealed, it should be the first video

[XxDjinn420xX]

LOL I love that comment by whoever was announcing...Shane: Let me be the first to introduce you to the Corporate Ministry.

Announcer: OH MY GOD!!!

[maclieberman]

wow...these were the good ol days....and when Shane had undeniable power lol

[blahblahblacksheep58]

can we actaully protest to make them take off pg-tv and make those lil kids go to bed!! after 8:50

[StraytRayzorSymphony]

lol i love how these aging dumb marks act like the AE was the one and olny period in wrestling history that was truly dark, gritty and unpredicable. the Territories had more going on in one wrestling event in terms of controversy than the WW did ...well...ever, really.

[darenot2]

Such a powerful event in wwf history, can not be topped ever. I miss these times, wrestling is ass crap now.

[gowwe12]

Best stage ever!

[melbkny1]

lol at shane looking at the undertaker walking down,best theme for undertaker.

[MANABUR]

was the Smackdown!??

[bashbro1able]

I can't describe the feeling I get out of The Rock and Austin. They were(are) so cool! I don't know which one I like more! Sometimes I like Austin better, other times I'm more into Rocky. But they're both equally talented. I must say. As for the Corporate Ministry, one of the best tags of all time. R.I.P Attitude Era 1998-2002

[Hughesy16LFC]

@bashbro1able Wow you really are anal for the rock and austin

[DJWtheKILLER2010]

undertaker had epic music back then

[rapboy993]

@BrandTanooki you know who should be in the attitude era for the WWE next year if it happens and moves on from PG era to TV-14 attitude era would be Triple H Kane Mark Henry Christian Big Show CM Punk Sheamus Drew McIntyre Kofi Kingston Evan Bourne Randy Orton Wade Barrett Kevin Nash The Rock Dolph Ziggler and if that were the case if they can do it pretty much within the superstars right now and those who had been in the attitude era before WWF changed to WWE after those years of hard work!!!!!

[maclieberman]

this is the coolest thing Shane has ever done by himself..

[chrisisballin123]

yo wtf happen too the rest of the match

[SWAT4Hitman47]

@chrisisballin123 Lol, yes he was. He's always crawling..idk why :D

[chrisisballin123]

wtf dat was mideon on the floor in the locker room

[hayabusafmw]

the rock with 340 pounds of muscle mass of steroids ... what a era

[Optimus313]

This was the show that started it all I remember watching this and loving it.

[forthewrestling]

i miss wwf so muchh. iwould always look foward to the shows back than now all of these guys are either outta wwe, washed up, or dead =/

[SixxQueen91]

this is when smackdown was good

[Crymson1]

@SixxQueen91 This was the inaugural episode.

[brettdabeastify]

wait so when did taker become biker taker

[beesly01]

@brettdabeastify ok, in September 1999 UT took some time off for injuries (about the time of Vince returning to win the WWF championship and the six pack challenge at Unforgiven...at Judgement Day 2000, during a Rock/HHH Ironman match, UT came down the aisle riding the motorcycle, thus beginning the American Bad Ass gimmick, hope this helps :)

[MrTrackstar1992]

best year

[jaidevmania]

This 'Taker theme is kick ass. Has a really 'evil' vibe to it.

[Ant45114]

This is the exact reason why they should end the brand split. They had such star power back then yet were still all able to be on one big roster and it lead to awesome stables and tag-teams.

[breannamstewart]

@Ant45114 so true! Last week, Smackdown only had 4 matches on a 2-hour show. Not enough star power any more. Taker knew this day would come, that's why he's always been one to pass the torch. Besides HHH wrestling every now and again, Shawn is gone, Ric and Hogan in TNA, Jericho on leave, Edge retired, Austin retired, the Rock doing his own thing, only promised to wrestle, of all ppl, Cena next year at WM. This brand shit has ran its course.

[nickman333elm]

@Ant45114 And with the current Raw Supershow there is really no point in having two brands now.

[TheRoryMyster]

@Ant45114 And bored fans 1 show a week.

[TheAqua7234]

@Ant45114 also most of the smackdown superstars are going over to raw and nicking their show time

[mikeyboy7777777]

@Ant45114 they only need one thing 2 stables 1 face 1 heel on a brand to make it interesting more ala 4 horsemen style both teams for example the heel technicians against the face performers or just do the old canadians + europeans vs americans i mean come on you can do so much

[Phen0minalness]

these fight were the best fight wheater it was fake or not

[kwsrchoudhury]

Back than when Smackdown use to be the best

[rapboy993]

Was Tony Chimel announcer since Lillan Garcia started being announcer in 1999 on raw and i want to know when did Tony Chimel debut as announcer in smackdown since 1999 and what month and day he's still there on smackdown every friday night since 1999 Lillan Garica retired on the year 2009 it's so odd that tony chimel is still there since the year 1999 and i would be honored with which man or woman's answer would be please

[VisionRecordingsHD]

The bad Quality gives the video a better feel to it

[DJharj123]

first time ive seen hhh wiv taker

[CorporateMinistry12]

This is sick. Shane brought the Ministry of Darkness and the Corporation to the Corporate Ministry.

[CannonEli]

This was when the undertaker used to make me shit my pants

[AmphibiousReconMSOB]

just bring the F back ...

[lilosi445]

@AmphibiousReconMSOB they can't. They would get sued.

[LegendKillingChain]

@lilosi445 stupid World Wildlife Fund >:(

[ivenhoemovement4200]

@lilosi445 ikr they totally took the fun from wrestling now. i remember when it was wwf then i looked again it was wwe like wtf. and everything changed since then.

[cathrinehartm85]

Bad quality

[dinozzo97]

@cathrinehartm85 the quality is great the sound great just because it not hd does not mean it bad

[ninjakills3]

NEXUS AND CORRE VS THE CORPORAT MINISTRY AT WRESTLEMANIA

[killerassasin8]

Goldberg would return only if its pg

[robzzzzzzzzzzzzzA]

corporate ministry could return that would be fun

[jocam32]

uh..nice tights HHH....NOT!

[kapiro456]

@jocam32 actually hhh looks cool with the tights, he should bring them back lol

[wcw11]

this was a holy shit moment

[dummy40034]

Shane sounded very Vince-like lol

[beyrsf]

....But where is the Rock/Austin segment video before Shane came out and formed the Corporate Ministry?

[beyrsf]

Where's the second part to this video?

[beyrsf]

@beyrsf my bad....that's up here also

[NewYorkKidd]

this was definitely Raw..not smackdown but good job on the video

[ShagrathSpawn666]

@NewYorkKidd No, this is the first episode of Smackdown, which was before the Smackdown set existed yet. Notice that Jerry Lawler and Jim Ross weren't providing commentary, but that Michael Cole and Jim Cornette were, and it's the UPN logo in the corner, not USA/TNN.

[TheDeathwing93]

"Austin, Rock. let me be the first to introduce you to the Corporate Ministry!"

[KingShade1]

LOL at 3:25 when Farooq (Ron Symmons) goes to the right to the Corporation side... then at 3:29 he's like "woops, wrong side" and walks back to the ministry side

Can I get a "You F*cked up! You f*cked up!" chant? haha :P

[ThriceP86]

If you want this back this day and age, it won't happen. There won't be another Undertaker (who's about to retire real soon) and Shane isn't even in the WWF (WWE) anymore. The funny thing is, the only way for this to come back is for you to watch it on youtube or whatever. I'm not saying I don't want it back but I can accept wrestling won't be this hot for some time now. Booking wrestling matches is a skill with timing, knowledge and strategy. How else was Hogan vs. Andre so great?! Just think

[1tobedoneX]

Shane: Let me be the first to introduce you to... THE CORPORATE MINISTRY!

Cole: Oh mawh gawd!

I laughed my balls off at that.

[nottzg]

Austin & Rock v HHH & Taker = better than anything for the past 10 yrs

[nottzg]

mideon ripped off mankind

[ChrisYoungGunn]

@nottzg yeah but he was still better than most of the mid-carders of today.

[ashourio]

Shut up Michael Cole, you've always sucked...

[myless96]

THE ROCK AND STONE COLD WHERE THE BIGGEST BACK THEN SO THE HAD TO MAKE THEM TEAM UP TO TAKE ON A TEAM THAT BIG

[bettyboobz88]

this is the shit i miss wrestling now doesn't compare!

[RichboyJhae]

Lol at :45 Shane says, Are there any "Takers"? I see what he did there.

[socalkev]

1 core nexus fan disliked this.

[navieedful]

WAS this smackdown??? the arena is of raw!!?? some one please answer me!!

[ChrisYoungGunn]

@navieedful raw

[socalkev]

@navieedful its the very ifrst smackdown i remember this thursday night on upn now known as my 13 and this is the pilot episode and whats the sadest part of this whole episode this was Owens first and last smackdown :(

[TheMightyThor83]

@navieedful

I was there for this show. It was awesome. The reason why this is the Raw arena is because this when suppossed to be Raw. I still have the ticket stub for "Raw" and instead of Raw, they filmed the very first episode of Smackdown. I went nuts when they formed the Corporate Ministry. I was and still am a huge Undertaker fan, and I loved this!

[TNAJeffHardy10]

@YMP1995 On June 27th Shaq Was Host

And Was When Jeff Hardy Was Around

[gnrrules123454321]

Undertaker so needs to grow that beard back.

[motorhhheadache08]

Shane asked for a Taker, and he got one. XD

[TNAJeffHardy10]

1998-2009 (June 27, 2009) Man The Best Years Except For 2006,2007,2004

[YMP1995]

@TNAJeffHardy10 then what happened on june 27th 2009??

[kreyzik]

The Undertaker rules!

[lawtonokieguy]

The Corporate Ministry was the best damn stable EVER!!!!!!

[MadBlackGamer]

1999-2008: best ever but now what in the blue hell happened?

[Romulus123]

@MadBlackGamer

PG :)

[rmelgar9]

The Rock and Stone Cold ; can take on the whole wrestling world if they wanted to !

[SquidwardTentpoles]

Anyone else tired of seeing Undertaker wearing the skinny suit? He should go with this attire again.

[NotTheRealOwen]

the ministry, the corporation and then the corporate ministry were always way better than nexus :/

[TheArthasmenethril]

@NotTheRealOwen and the Ministry of Darkness aswell as being a HEEL group they were treated like Faces until they joined the Corporate Ministry

[NotTheRealOwen]

@TheArthasmenethril did i ever say anything about heels or faces?

[TheArthasmenethril]

@NotTheRealOwen it was the Way the Ministry of Darkness was treated via Crowd Reactions better then the Nexus

[Tony52308]

The Corre and Nexus are worthless stables

[TheJSexton24]

this was also when undertaker was at his best and scariest lol

[TheJSexton24]

John Cena's a bitch WWE needs to realize that there losing there a original fans because of their PG-era bullshit and if we did have attitude era 2.0 we wouldn't have the right wrestlers to do so

[AndeKatWhaaat]

wow i remember this from when i was a 7 year old girl. lmfao i miss wwf the way it used to be

[Spaz2708]

I HATED THE CORPORATE MINISTRY.......THE UNION JUST WASN'T STRONG ENOUGH.

[ExtremeEnigma28]

@Spaz2708 It was badass bro,wat r u talkin about?

[94jetsfan]

that just comes to show that even when undertaker was a "bad guy" people still liked him. there is no doubt that he is the best in history!

[2reelJordan]

The way he said "any takers" and taker music hit was fucking classic!!!!!!. Most lethal group!

[El2lk]

LOL @ 4:00-4:07....hilarious

[El2lk]

@HellLord0931

i was just lol'ing @ shane mcmahon and his reaction....hilarious acting

[HellLord0931]

@El2lk i replied to wrong guy lol

[tyronedbrown]

@ GrizzleMyShizzle thats midean

[GrizzleMyShizzle9]

whos the guy from 3:59-4:07 rocking back and fort on the ground

[HellLord0931]

@GrizzleMyShizzle9 his name is Mideon

[leftyfourguns]

@GrizzleMyShizzle9 That's Mideon, I think

[meanmachine210]

@GrizzleMyShizzle9 Mideon dude come on every one knows that

[makaniolu808]

haha any "takers" haha

[Mrnaughtydaddy]

if it be attitude era many good wrestlers will come

[icebox800]

Wrestling at its Best!!!!

[velasquezisthebest]

we all experience waking up from a dream to reality almost every day but sadly going from the attitude era to the bullcrap we see nowadays is like loosing reality to face a nightmare.. :(

[nick4man3]

You'd think the WWE would take notice of virtually everyone over the age of 10 shouting "BRING BACK THE ATTITUDE ERA!"

[lilosi445]

@nick4man3 Just because people on Youtube say that doesn't mean it should happen. Going back to the past isn't going to help the product, you need to build the future.

[86Stooy]

@nick4man3 No point bringing back an attitude era with the current roster in wwe

[BrandTanooki]

@86Stooy To be honest, I only think some superstars that are there today would fit in the Attitude Era. Triple H, Big Show, Christain, CM Punk, Mark Henry, Sheamus (maybe) and Orton (again, maybe.)

[TheSmithersy]

@BrandTanooki: What about Kane?

[theguywhocomments1]

@86Stooy With the rock,Shawn Micheals and Stone cold steve austin

[ivenhoemovement4200]

@nick4man3 dats so tru cuz the superstars we love today are from that era. some superstars nowadays dont match the toughness of an attitude era V2 , for instance a santino meralla come tf on dude he's not tough at all he's just funny. the stone colds, undertakers, kane, the rock are all wat the attitude era was about. if they did bring back the era it would be cool as sht but it would be middle class at best!!! the original attitude era was always fun and exciting. anyone agree???

[masteropuppetz66]

@86Stooy seriously... the roster is so bad and uninspiring now. They can't get the crowd going at all. Back in these days, even the mid carders could put on a great show and get the crowd going..

[nightwingjonah]

@86Stooy true dat they should call it the speedo era

[preciouskiss3]

@86Stooy same thing i was thinkin

[BarackSays]

@nick4man3 It's not that easy.

[jnr2k8]

@nick4man3 so true =[

[Crymson1]

@nick4man3 Fat chance. Linda McMahon wants to be elected to congress.

[MRE131805]

"Are there any 'Takers'?"

Boo, what a pun.

[johnmc2k]

I remember putting on teletext and reading about this headline....good times!

[stigler30]

I can't believe that this actually scared me when I was 12.

[Carmanie]

@stigler30 LMAO me too

[meanmachine210]

@stigler30 me too

[TheArthasmenethril]

lol at shanes pun at the start "are their any Takers"

[SKNayee1992]

The merger from hell. Damn I miss these days, Fuck Cena!!!

[ps2champ]

They were the best Group DX was nothing on them . Undertaker was heel like he should b

[metaldave9011]

the best group ever in the wwe forget nxts forget dx

[Chase33]

The days of factions that actually mattered. The "Corporate Ministry" was the most absurd name for a faction ever....but it was also one of the greatest. I can only hope that by the time I have kids the WWE can revert back to its greatness.

[NotRicoRodriguez]

@Chase33 Well, it was a mix of "The Corporation" and "The Ministry"

[TheoHuxtable07]

@Chase33 Yeah, now that I think about it, it was a pretty funny name combination.

[blackchucknoris]

the best music undertaker had

[xxxHahaxx120]

Stone Cold is a original brawler

[duff232]

wrestling at its best but the beginning of the end of the undertakers ministry persona..

[omegapixel1]

When it comes to gigantic wrestling factions: The Corporate Ministry > New World Order

[TheSophie0811]

If you think this was the best time wrestling had click LIKE ON THIS!!!

[jayNicks10]

In the very beginning we hear Shane say that Stone Cold and The Rock will team up. then we hear Jim Cornette say, "That's never happened." FALSE. just the Monday before Judgement Day, it was Stone Cold and The Rock vs Undertaker and Kane. That match is on youtube. pretty easy to find.

[fsulb13]

i would do anything to see undertaker in this form b4 he retires

[DarkRambo134]

I find it ironic that he is called the last outlaw now when you look back and see that the undertaker was the leader of the ministry of darkness.

[618victoria]

The very first episode of smackdown.

[MegaDazza88]

damn owen hart breaking austins neck at summerslam 1997 and vince creating a storyline for rikishi to run over austin in 1999 if it wasnt for that we'd still have stone cold wrestling!

[MyTubeIsBetter20]

lol. they were deep as hell.

[382mayanzev]

undertaker + Tv 14 = Awsome Undertaker + Tv Pg = WTF

pg Means pure garbage

[7LucasCabrera71]

Wow, I've completly forgot about Jim Cornette

[NewEraWrestlingYT10]

JIM CORNETTE, WE MISS THE SHIT OUT OF YOU! 

[TheJeffHardyX1]

ummmmmmmmm shane kind of needed to word that out a little

[metalicass2003]

Shane Mcmahon: Are there any 'Takers?

WWE used to love putting these Easter Eggs around...

Once during an inferno match during the Undertaker and Kane, with Mr. Mcmahon doing commentary, they mentioned that the Undertaker was "Answering to a higher power", to which Mcmahon said:

"Well, tonight he's answering to me..."

And we all know what happened afterwards....

[TreystaFXATARIEN]

wow even in heel form the people cheer really loud for The Undertaker

[HuskerFanatic]

@TreystaFXATARIEN Because everyone knows Mark has always been pretty much the captain of that locker room. You gotta admire a man - and when I say he's a man I mean it in the truest sense of the word - who told his boss point blank that he should go talk to Bret right after the screwjob happened. That's how muchweight Taker carries in that locker room.

[texaskountryfan74]

This was indeed Undertaker at his best. He was at his most evil and most dominant during this time. It's probably best that this didn't last too long for Taker because he has said numerous times in interviews that he hated this version of the Undertaker.

[gmac192]

it's sad that this team didn't last too long, only 3 months :(

[Nascarfan81824]

Michael Cole's 'OMG' at 3:36 was SO Perfect!

[slytman85]

im a huge fan of this team but my bro says that this team is gay and he likes cena wayyy better wat a fag

[HuskerFanatic]

@slytman85 I would root for this Corporate Ministry to beat the ever lovin' shit outta Cena. You know, Cena and Bieber fans are a lot alike, ever noticed that?

[slytman85]

@HuskerFanatic yea alot a like i wood like to c this team kick the shit out of him

[VillaFanFTW]

@HuskerFanatic You make Cena haters look pretty stupid... Give your head a shake youngster.

[cianproductions]

shane sounds like vince

[maxpayne718]

corporat ministry is better then nexus

[XUsername26X]

@maxpayne718 my shit is better than nexus

[AngelofEnduringLight]

@maxpayne718 Corporate Ministry vs Nexus and The Corre- Outcome-Corporate Ministry wins

[AristideLimIII]

@Mexicano729 wat roh?
