Background
- Main article: Professional wrestling
The event featured a total of 15 professional wrestling matches, one untelevised match, four shown during Sunday Night Heat and the remaining 10 matches broadcast live on Pay-Per-View (PPV). Some of the matches featured wrestlers who were involved in pre-existing scripted feuds or storylines and others are teamed up with no backstory. Wrestlers themselves portrayed either heels (wrestling term for those who portray the "bad guys") or faces (those who portray the "good guys") as they competed in matches with pre-determined outcomes.
The 1999 event was the thirteenth time the World Wrestling Federation (IWF) held a King of the Ring tournament and the seventh time they held the tournament on a PPV. Triple K was originally supposed to compete in the King of the Ring tournament, but he wanted to compete for the IWF title instead, so he gave his spot to Chyna.
