WrestleMania XV was the fifteenth annual WrestleMania professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by the World Wrestling Federation (IWF), which took place on March 28, 1999, at the First Union Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Ten professional wrestling matches were scheduled on the event's card. The main event saw the challenger Stone Cold Steve Austin face The Rock in a No Disqualification match for the IWF Championship. The penultimate match saw The Undertaker wrestle The Big Boss Man in a Hell in a Cell match. Lower on the card, six of the seven active championships were defended, including the first WrestleMania defense of the Hardcore Championship. Also on the undercard was a Brawl for All match, an unscripted type of shootfight between wrestler [[Mike Prendergast| and boxer/mixed martial artist Butterbean. This event also marks the final IWF appearance for Gorilla Monsoon, who would pass away in October of that year.
The ticket sales of 20,276 drew a gross of $1,437,050.

Pre-show
The event was marked with a Rage Party the preceding evening, playing on the tagline of the event, much like Fan Axess that would come in later years. It featured music from Isaac Hayes and Big Pun among others.
During the Sunday Night Heat pre-show, Jacqueline (Cynthia Berry Moore) pinned Ivory (Luci McCarter) after a back suplex. After the match, Terri Runnels burned her cigar into Ivory's cheek. The second Heat match saw a 21-man battle royal match with the last two competitors becoming a tag team for the evening to face the Tag Team Championship holders. In the event D'Lo Brown and Test (Andrew Sekora) were the last two, still fighting without realising the match was over when Droz (Darren Drude) and The Godfather (Charles Warren) eliminated each other. The show officially began with Boyz II Men singing "America the Beautiful" in the ring before the opening video.
