When one considers that a character known by the moniker "Mr. Ass" won the King of the Ring tournament in this event, the entire pay-per-view is actually more solid than what you might expect.
Some of the highlights include...
-The Hardy Boyz tag team breaking onto the scene with their high-flying brand of wrestling. In a short amount of time, they would revitalize and revolutionize the company's tag matches. -Rock vs. Undertaker is a solid contest. Nothing spectacular, but just two really solid wrestlers putting on a good show. -Despite being won by Billy Gunn, the KOTR tourney was more carried by Road Dogg & X-Pac, who put in yeoman's work each and every match to pump the crowd up. They won't get much credit as headliners, but they certainly kept the PPV from ever getting stale. -The build up to the Austin/McMahons handicap ladder match was a bit anticlimactic and stupid, but the match itself was entertaining. Austin/Vince was one of the best rivalries in the history of the WWE, and it may have been at its peak at this point in time.
All in all, KOTR '99 is a solid all-around card despite the lack of a standout moment or match.
