Summary: WWF's Version of Valentines Day
Comment: This PPV was all about one thing...to set up the main event for WrestleMania XV as we have Stone Cold against Mr.McMahon in a Cage match for the title shot at WrestleMania. Along with that, Mankind & The Rock battle for the title again; this time in Last Man Standing match.
Goldust vs The Blue Meanie. This was comical with Meanie acting like Goldust, even to the point of him dressing up like the blue version of Goldust. Again, suppose to be a comedy act but this was not a good opener.
Hardcore Championship: Al Snow vs Hardcore Holly. The match that created the Hardcore Holly we know today as he won the vacant hardcore title against Al Snow in a match that went through the crowd, backstage, parking lot, and the Mississippi river. However, this is more remembered for the heat that Snow received backstage for "no selling" & kept laughing at the chairshots he got hit with.
Big Bossman vs Mideon. Just fast forward because this was a boring filler with the only memorable being the Ministry's beatdown on Bossman that set up the worst Cell match in history between Undertaker & Bossman.
WWF Tag Team Champions Owen Hart & Jeff Jarrett vs D'Lo Brown & Mark Henry. A good tag team match as everyone worked well here & the focus with Ivory & Debra adding more to the contest than it was suppose to.
Intercontinental Champion Ken Shamrock vs Val Venis w/Special Referee Billy Gunn. The story here was that Venis was "messing around" with Shamrock's younger sister & Shamrock wanted revenge. Billy Gunn provides some of the most entertaining refereeing ever that includes slow counts, no counts, not knowing what moves are pins. He MADE this match as the actual contest seemed to go too slow for my liking.
Triple H & X-Pac vs Kane & Chyna. Chyna had just turned on DX to side with the Corporation but this match was better than expected. Shane McMahon stole the show here as he was providing some funny commentary (similar to the last match but with Billy doing it) but more importantly getting into a confrontation with X-Pac to set up their WrestleMania match. The ending was done well as it put over the storyline but in the end, it was the beginning of the end for the DX stable.
Last Man Standing Match: WWF Champion Mankind vs The Rock. Mankind came into the match with bad knees based off an attack by Rock earlier on HEAT. They brawled on the floor for most of the match using various weapons including TV monitors, steel steps, and a table which Mankind DDT'd Rock through. Of course, this match had it's entertaining moments such as Rock doing commentary & singing "SmackDown Hotel!" while Mankind tried to execute "Mr. Elbow." The ending was a little bit of a jip but the quality is here.
Steel Cage Match: Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Vince McMahon. This match was for the title shot opportunity at WrestleMania XV. Vince won the Rumble but Austin got the shot after Vince stepped down thanks to Commissioner Shawn Michaels. This was more like "Austin beating down McMahon" as most of the match was completely dominated by Stone Cold. However, unlike most beatdowns, this was very entertaining with moments like Vince not wanting to get in the cage to the point that Austin chases him up through the crowd, knocks him off the cage through a table & even knocking him off a stretcher at one point. The end involved the debut of The Big Show but it was losing effort as Austin won the match & was going to WrestleMania.
Overall, this was the typical In Your House card with the only memorable matches being the main events while the rest of the card ranged from average to boring to just plain bad. As a side note, the Rock/Foley match is on the Rock'S upcoming DVD.

Summary: WWF St Valentines Day Massacre-In Your House
Comment: Goldust vs The Blue Meanie
Weird match with that reject from Extremely Crappy Wrestling(ECW)The Blue Meanie.Thank goodness Goldust won which as I was rooting for him in this match,even though that is something I dont normally do.
Hardcore Holly vs Al Snow(champion) for the WWF Hardcore Title.
Good macth with good hardcore wrestling.Now thats my kind of match.They eventually wind up at the Mississippi River and Hardcore Holly wins the title.(They would have another match for the harcore title at Backlash 1999 with Snow winning).
The Big Bossman vs Mideon
The Undertaker and The Ministry of Darkness are doing an promo backstage before the match.Then the match begins with the Bossman and Mideon.The Bossman wins but after the match he is attacked by the Ministry of Darkness and is taken backstage.
Dlo Brown and Mark Henry w/Ivory vs Owen Hart and Jeff Jarrett(champions)w/Debra for the WWF Tag Team Titles.
Owen Hart and Jeff Jarrett win to retain the WWF Tag Team Titles.Ok match,good catfight after the match too w/Ivory and Debra.I was wishing Ivory could of ripped of Debras top and we could of seen her puppies but that didnt happen though.
Ken Shamrock(champion) vs Val Venis for the Intercontinental Title w/guest referee Billy Gunn
Venis wins after guest referee Billy Gunn fast counts Shamrock.Then they fight after the match.
HHH and XPAC vs Kane and Chyna
I love this feud!Chyna had turned on HHH the month before and this set up their friction among one another!Anyway Kane and Chyna won when Kane choke slammed HHH and Chyna got the pin.Also Shane McMahon does guest commentary for the match.
The Rock vs Mankind(champion)in an last man standing match for the WWF Title.
Neither man won after both were counted out after the count of 10 resulting in an draw.However since Mankind was the champion going into the p.p.v he retains the WWF Title.(He would lose the title the next night on Raw to the Rock in an ladder match).
Vince McMahon vs Stone Cold in an cage match(If Austin wins he gets to go to Wrestlemania 15 to face the WWF Champion)
First let me say one thing....did you ever think you'll see Vince Mcmahon headlining a p.p.v?Neither did I,but anyway Austin dominates the whole match and then the Paul Wight aka the Big Show interferes and slams Austin throught the cage but however the door opens and Austin falls out for the win.Stone Cold is going to Wrestlemania 15 to face the WWF Champion!
Overall a good show Michael Cole and Jerry "The King "Lawler were the announcers after J.R had been out since December of 1998 returning in April of 1999.They made a pretty good announce team in J.R's absence.Also every single match was just about good w/the Last Man Standing Match between The Rock/Mankind,and the Cage Match between Austin/Vince being two classics.Youre not an fan of the WWF/WWE unless you buy this tape!

Summary: Solid PPV
Comment: I have been a wrestling fan since 1996 and have watched all kinds of wrestling. I have a wrestling DVD/VHS collection spanning over 50 all together. This is the most complete and accurate review of this VHS you will find. I hope you find this review helpful; remember to vote helpful or not helpful. (Note-Each VHS I review has a "Match of the VHS" award somewhere in it.)
WWF St. Valentines Day Massacre
This PPV is one that can be over looked really easy. Most people only remember it for it's last two matches, but it carried some great mid-card action as well. It had its slow points, but it was overall a very strong show. Also, if I remember correctly, this was WWF's last IYH PPV. If I am wrong on that, please leave a comment and correct me.
Goldust VS Bluedust
The Blue Meanie from ECW has been taunted Goldust for weeks now. He has even went as far as dressing like a blue version of Goldust. This was an entertaining opener. The match was kept short and filled with comedic action.
RATING- 6/10
WWF Hardcore Championship
Al Snow VS Bob Holly
This was for the Vacated Hardcore Title. This is the match that went all the way to the Mississippi River. This was one of the better early Hardcore Title matches. It included all your usual hardcore antics; there are many weapons used and lots of backstage brawling. The match ends in a fairly innovative way.
RATING- 8.5/10
Big Boss Man VS Mideon
This match was boring with little interesting action. The best part is when it ends. I'm not just saying that as a joke at how bad the match is either, the aftermath is awesome and included a wicked beat down of Boss Man.
RATING- 3.5/10
WWF World Tag Team Championships
Jeff Jarrett & Owen Hart (c) w/Debra VS D'Lo Brown & Mark Henry w/Ivory
A solid tag featuring some heated confrontations between Debra and Ivory. The story is that Mark Henry still liked Debra, and became easily distracted by her. Ivory was meant to be the equalizer. All wrestlers do well in this match.
RATING- 8/10
After this match, Mankind gives an interview about The Rock's attack on him earlier.
Special Referee- Billy Gunn
WWF Intercontinental Championship
Ken Shamrock(c) VS Val Venis w/Ryan Shamrock
Val Venis is with Ken Shamrock's sister. Shamrock doesn't appreciate this and is losing his mind. Billy Gunn provides some of the most entertaining refereeing ever. This includes slow counts, no counts, not knowing what moves are pins. Shamrock and Venis put on a strong match.
RATING- 8/10
Triple H & X-Pac VS Chyna & Kane
Chyna turns on D-X and joins the Corporation. This is really just your average tag match. What makes it so entertaining is Chyna beating up on guys and Shane McMahon is on commentary. Shane McMahon makes his presence felt by attacking X-Pac. I liked the ending as it made no one look weak.
RATING- 8/10
Last Man Standing Match (Match of the VHS)
WWF Championship
Mankind(c) VS The Rock
This match was brutal. Some people say their match at WWE Royal Rumble 1999 - No Chance In Hell was better; I haven't seen it but you should check that match out too. The Rock suplexes Mankind on the floor three times. Mankind DDTs Rock through a table. Both men use chairs and stairs to attack each other. It another great match from The Rock and Mankind.
RATING- 10/10
Steel Cage Match
Winner Goes on to Wrestlemania Main Event
Vince McMahon VS Stone Cold Steve Austin
This match starts off with some brawling outside the cage because McMahon refuses to get in the cage with Austin. They go up in the crowd and brawl. McMahon tries to escape Austin by climbing into the cage. McMahon pays for it as he is caught and falls through the announce table. Eventually, Austin gets McMahon in the cage and the match finally starts. The match is entirely a beat-down of McMahon, but it's one of the most entertaining beat-downs there has ever been. Paul Wight, better know as Big Show, would make his debut near the end of this match.
RATING- 9/10

Summary: Know your role and shut your mouth!
Comment: I love this video.It is a great ppv from 1999.The best matches were the Rock vs Mankind in a last man standing, HHH and Xpac vs Kane and Chyna ,and Stone Cold vs Vince Mcmahon in a cage match.The Rock and Mankind tore the house down until both beat each other senseless.HHH and Xpac were out for revenge since Chyna joined the corporation but they had to get through Kane first.Then Stone Cold beat the crap out Mcmahon but was in for a surprise.............The Big Show!
