Summerslam (1999 TV Special)
Recap
1 July 2002
The one and only Jesse "The Body" Ventura returned to SummerSlam in 1999 to serve as the guest referee for the main event, a Triple Threat Match for the WWE Championship pitting the reigning champion, Stone Cold Steve Austin, against Triple H and Mankind. In the end, Mankind pinned Stone Cold to become WWE Champion for the third time. But the very next night on RAW, Triple H upended the Boiler Room Dweller to win his first WWE Championship. SummerSlam 1999 was truly a historic night in WWE history, as it is the only night in WWE history that the WWE Championship, Intercontinental Championship and Tag Team Championship all changed hands. Considering that those three titles have all been around for over 20 years, SummerSlam 1999 was truly historic. In all, five titles changed hands at SummerSlam 1999, including the Hardcore Championship and European Championship.
