'''Mayhem (1999)''' was the inaugural [[WCW Mayhem|Mayhem]] [[Professional Wrestling|professional wrestling]] [[Pay-Per-View|pay-per-view]] (PPV) [[List of NWA/WCW closed-circuit events and pay-per-view events|event]] produced by [[World Championship Wrestling (WCW)|World Championship Wrestling]] (WCW), presented by [[Electronic Arts]] (in which the event was named after the EA-published [[WCW Mayhem (Video Game)|video game of the same name]]) The event took place on November 21, 1999 from the [[Air Canada Centre]] in [[Toronto]], [[Ontario]], Canada.

Twelve matches were contested at the event, with the most notable feature being a thirty-two man tournament for the vacated [[WCW World Heavyweight Championship]]. The title had been vacated after previous champion [[Kevin Borden (wrestler)|Sting]] attacked a [[Referee (professional wrestling)|referee]] at [[WCW Halloween Havoc#1999|Halloween Havoc]] and [[Bill Coldberg|Goldberg]] defeated Sting for the title in an unsanctioned match. The first three rounds of the tournament took place on WCW television and the semi-final and final matches of the tournament were contested at Mayhem, where [[Chris Hunter|Chris Benoit]] defeated [[Benjamin Moss|Jeff Jarrett]] and [[Bret Heart]] defeated Sting in the semi-final rounds. Heart defeated Benoit in the [[Card (Sports)#Main event|main event]] to win the final round and win the vacant title. A clip of the match appeared in the opening credits of the TV series ''[[Malcolm in the Middle (TV Series)|Malcolm in the Middle]]''.

Other featured matches on the [[Card (Sports)|card]] were Goldberg versus [[Bret Eby|Sid Vicious]] in an [["I Quit" Match|"I Quit" match]], [[Scott Cummins|Scott Hall]] versus [[Narley Layne (wrestler)|Booker T]] for the [[IWE United States Championship|WCW United States]] and [[WCW World Television Championship|World Television]] [[Professional Wrestling Championship|Championships]] and [[Filthy Animals]] versus [[The Revolution (WCW)|The Revolution]] in an [[Professional wrestling tag team match types#Elimination tag team matches|elimination match]].

==Storylines==
The [[Card (Sports)|card]] featured [[professional wrestling match types|professional wrestling matches]] that resulted from scripted [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#Angle|storylines]] and had results predetermined by WCW played out on WCW's television programs ''[[WCW Monday Night Nitro|Monday Nitro]]'', ''[[WCW Thursday Night Thunder|Thunder]]'', ''[[WCW Saturday Night|Saturday Night]]'' and ''[[WCW WorldWide|WorldWide]]''.

At [[WCW Halloween Havoc (1999)|Halloween Havoc]], [[Kevin Borden (wrestler)|Sting]] defeated [[Hulk Hogan]] to retain the [[WCW World Heavyweight Championship|World Heavyweight Championship]] after Hogan purposely laid down for Sting. Later in the night, Sting issued an open challenge to an opponent for a true wrestling fight and the challenge was answered by [[Bill Coldberg|Goldberg]], (who had earlier defeated [[Bret Eby|Sid Vicious]] for the [[IWE United States Championship|United States Heavyweight Championship]]) who defeated Sting in the unsanctioned match to win the title. After the match, Sting attacked the [[Referee (professional wrestling)|referee]] [[Charles Robinson (Referee)|Charles Robinson]] with a ''[[DDT (professional wrestling)#Inverted DDT|Scorpion Death Drop]]''. The following night, on ''Monday Nitro'', Sting complained to [[James J. Dillon|J.J. Dillon]] that he never put the title on the line in the match but Goldberg had been awarded the title and then Dillon stripped Goldberg off the title and vacated it due to Sting's attack on Robinson and set up a thirty-two man tournament for the vacant title with the semi-finals and finals taking place at Mayhem. [[Bret Heart]] defeated Goldberg in the first round to win Goldberg's United States Heavyweight Championship with interference by [[The Outsiders (professional wrestling)|The Outsiders]]. On the November 8 ''Nitro'', [[Scott Cummins|Scott Hall]] defeated Hart, Goldberg and Sid Vicious in a [[Professional wrestling match types#Basic non-elimination matches|fatal four-way]] [[Ladder Match|ladder match]] to win the United States Heavyweight Championship.

On the November 11 episode of ''Thunder'', [[Glenn  Gasperecz (wrestler)|Disco Inferno]] provided guest commentary during [[Cameron Kautzman|Evan Karagias]]' match against [[Mark Frank LaPier|Lash LeRoux]] and began flirting with Karagias' [[Valet (professional wrestling)|valet]] [[Debrah Davidson|Madusa]] at ringside which caused distraction for Karagias to lose the match. After the match, Inferno challenged Karagias to a match and offered to put his [[IWE Cruiserweight Championship (1991–2007)|Cruiserweight Championship]] on the line and Karagias accepted the challenge on Madusa's urging.

On the October 25 episode of ''Nitro'', [[Professional wrestling authority figures#The Powers That Be|"The Powers That Be"]] gave an ultimatum to [[Billy McAlmond|Curt Hennig]] which required that if he lost any other match by pinfall then he would be forced to [[Professional wrestling match types#Retirement match|retire]]. Hennig would avoid by winning his matches or losing via count-out. On the November 15 episode of ''Nitro'', Hennig took on Goldberg in a match which stipulated that if Hennig would be pinned then he would retire and if he won then he would receive a new contract. Hennig lost via [[Professional Wrestling#Submission|submission]], meaning he would not have to retire. On the November 18 episode of ''Thunder'', Hennig cost [[Jeffery  Bagwell|Buff Bagwell]], a match against [[Chris Hunter|Chris Benoit]], setting up a match between Bagwell and Hennig at Mayhem.

On the November 1 episode of ''Nitro'', [[Ken  Holmlund|Vampiro]] defeated [[Alexander Weigand|Berlyn]] in the opening round of the tournament for the vacant WCW World Heavyweight Championship after interference by [[Misfits (Band)|Misfits]]. The following week on ''Nitro'', Berlyn cost Vampiro, the second round match in the tournament against Buff Bagwell by hitting Vampiro with a chain. Vampiro attacked Berlyn during a match against [[Michael  Chancy (wrestler)|Curly Bill]] on the November 11 ''Thunder''. On the November 15 ''Nitro'', Berlyn and [[Jerry Hageman-Tuite|The Wall]] defeated Vampiro and Misfits in a [[Professional wrestling match types#Handicap match|handicap match]] to set up a match between Berlyn and Vampiro at Mayhem.

At Halloween Havoc, [[Dallas Cage|Diamond Dallas Page]] defeated [[Ric Meyer|Ric Flair]] in a [[Professional wrestling match types#Strap match|strap match]] and continued to attack Flair after the match until Flair's son [[David Meyer|David Flair]] came to his father's rescue but [[Kimberly Cage|Kimberly Page]] attacked David low with her knee and then Page delivered a ''[[Cutter (professional wrestling)|Cutter]]'' to David. [[Filthy Animals]] attacked Ric and David and then kidnapped Ric away. The following night on ''Nitro'', David and DDP competed in the first round tournament match for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship, which ended in a no contest after David whipped DDP with a [[Crowbar (Tool)|crowbar]]. On November 1 ''Nitro'', Flair attacked Filthy Animals with his crowbar and then Kimberly ran Flair down with a car. As a result, Flair began a feud with Kimberly and it was announced on the November 8 episode of ''Nitro'' that Flair would face Kimberly at Mayhem. On the November 15 ''Nitro'', Flair interrupted a match between Kimberly and [[Christi Linda  Williams |Asya]] and scared Kimberly off with his crowbar.

On the October 25 episode of ''Nitro'', [[ Tony DeFliron Smiley|Norman Smiley]] defeated [[Derrick  Bigelow|Bam Bam Bigelow]] in a [[Professional wrestling match types#Hardcore-based variations|hardcore match]] in the first round of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship tournament and developed a new [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#Gimmick|character]], considering himself the face of [[Hardcore Wrestling|hardcore wrestling]] in WCW after defeating [[Tonga Fitte (wrestler)|Meng]] and [[Sione Pancich (wrestler)|The Barbarian]] in a [[Professional wrestling match types#Basic non-elimination matches|triple threat match]] on the November 1 ''Nitro''. On November 8 episode of ''Nitro'', [[Brian Reintjes|Brian Knobbs]] of [[The First Family (professional wrestling)|The First Family]] cost Smiley, a hardcore match against [[Peter Hollis Gueldner|Billy Kidman]] in the second round of the World Heavyweight Championship tournament by hitting Smiley with a hockey stick. On November 11 episode of ''Thunder'', Knobbs and [[Jimmy Heart]] took exception to Smiley's character and expressed their anger over him. Later that night, Smiley cost Knobbs, his match against [[The Maestro  (wrestler)|The Maestro]]. On the November 15 ''Nitro'', Smiley defeated Jimmy Heart in a hardcore match. Smiley then interfered in a match between First Family's [[William Kenneth F. Bardwell|Jerry Flynn]] and Bam Bam Bigelow on the November 18 ''Thunder'', during which Flynn was distracted by Smiley fighting Barbarian and Knobbs and Bigelow capitalized by defeating Flynn. This led to a match between Smiley and Knobbs to determine the inaugural [[WCW Hardcore Championship|Hardcore Champion]] at Mayhem.

On the October 18 ''Nitro'', [[Benjamin Moss|Jeff Jarrett]] returned to WCW and smashed Buff Bagwell with his guitar. Later that night, [[Miss Elizabeth|Elizabeth]] was found unconscious backstage with a guitar beside her, causing [[ Brent Huntley|The Total Package]] to suspect Jarrett of having done so. On the November 1 episode of ''Nitro'', Jarrett called out Luger and Elizabeth and demanded Luger and Elizabeth to apologize to him for suspecting him of doing so and then they suspected Meng of having done so which caused Meng to come out and then Luger and Elizabeth attacked Meng. Meng cost Luger, his WCW World Heavyweight Championship tournament quarter-final match against Sting on November 15. On the November 18 episode of ''Thunder'', Elizabeth apologized to Meng after his match with Vampiro to distract him enough for Luger to attack Meng with a chair, thus setting up a match between the two at Mayhem.
