No Mercy (1999)

No Mercy was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) exclusively for the United Kingdom. It took place on May 16, 1999 at the Manchester Evening News Arena in Manchester, England.

The pay-per-view market was relatively new to Britain: before One Night Only in 1997, all pay-per-view events were broadcast for free on Sky Sports. The UK exclusive pay-per-views were established to serve as promotion for the new delivery method, however were booked and treated similar to house shows.[1]

It was released on DVD in the UK and Europe on July 12, 2010, in a set also including Capital Carnage as part of the WWE's Tagged Classics range released by Silvervision, without any edits to the original content, most notably keeping all mentions and appearances of the WWF logo intact and un-blurred.

Event

Preliminary matches

The first match was a singles match between Tiger Ali Singh and Gillberg. Singh quickly pinned Gillberg after a reverse neckbreaker.[2]

The following match was between The Ministry of Darkness (Viscera, Faarooq and Bradshaw) and The Brood (Gangrel, Edge, and Christian). Bradshaw pinned Gangrel for the victory after a Clothesline From Hell.

The third match saw Steve Blackman defeat Droz by submission using a Triangle Choke. Following that match saw Kane competing against Mideon. Mideon was disqualified after several Corporate Ministry members interfered,[2] resulting in Kane being declared the winner.

The next planned match was between Sable and Tori. Nicole Bass substituted for her and the match ended quickly after Bass performed a Chokeslam on Tori. This would be Sable's last appearance in the WWF for nearly four years.

The sixth event of the night was a WWF European Championship match that saw Shane McMahon defend against X-Pac. McMahon pinned X-Pac after Triple H interfered and gave him a Pedigree, while the referee was down. At one point Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco stopped Shane McMahon from leaving the match early, leading to Chyna's interference, attacking the pair so they wouldn't interfere again.

The seventh match saw Billy Gunn defeat Mankind. Gunn pinned Mankind after a Fameasser.[2]
