'99Notes:
1. Smith defeated Owen Hart in a tournament final to become the first champion.
RESULTS: Quarters: Bret Hart d. Hunter Hearst Helmsley; Owen Hart d. Flash Funk; Smith d. Mankind; Vader d. Rocky Maivia; Semis: Smith d. Vader; Owen d. Bret.
2. Michaels won the World title on 11/9/97. He held both titles until 12/11/97, where he lost the Euro belt when only that belt was on the line to HHH. Michaels was ordered by WWF Commissioner Slaughter to defend the Title against HHH. Michaels being friends with HHH laid down and let Helmsley pin him.
3. Helmsley sent Goldust out to wrestle in his place. Hart won the match and WWF Commissioner Slaughter declared him as the new Champion
4. McMahon won the title in a tag match, teaming with Kane vs. HHH and X-Pac. The stipulation was, whomever pinned X-Pac would win the title, and Shane pinned X-Pac.
5. Shane McMahon officially retired the European title in an announcement on Sunday Night Heat.
6. Mideon asked Shane McMahon if he could "borrow" his belt, and suddenly appeared with the European title. He then proclaimed himself to be the new champion with no disputes.
7. Jarrett won both the IC and Euro titles from Brown. In "gratitude" to Mark Henry for helping him out, Jarrett gave him the Euro title.
8. This was a triple-threat match between the British Bulldog, Val Venis, and D-Lo Brown. Val pinned the Bulldog to win the match and the title.
