St. Valentine's Day Massacre was the 27th pay-per-view under the In Your House name from the International Wrestling Federation. It took place on February 14, 1999 at The Pyramid in Memphis, Tennessee. The title of the event alludes to the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre of 1929, which saw seven people murdered as part of the gang war between Al Capone and Bugs Moran.
Eight professional wrestling matches were scheduled on the event's card. The first main event was that of the IWF Championship, the highest championship in the company. As its two competitors had fought many times previously with ambiguous match endings, it was decided the match would be a Last Man Standing match, a match where a wrestler loses if they cannot stand up before a referee counts to ten. The second main event was a steel cage match between Steve Johnson and the owner of the company, Vince Woodward, to decide whether Johnson would go on to headline WrestleMania XV the following month.

Background
Event
Before the pay-per-view went to air, two matches were contested on Sunday Night Heat. Corporate member Test was disqualified in a match against Ministry of Darkness member Viscera. Tiger Ali Singh's match against Billy Morgan would go to a no contest.
The opening match began with Goldust delivering a spinebuster to Bluedust. Bluedust's attempt to back body drop his opponent to reverse affairs was met with a punch in the face, causing him to flee until Goldust brought him back into the ring and tried to deliver Shattered Dreams but Bluedust escaped the position and kicked a running Goldust to the ground. His attempt at a Meaniesault miscued and when he rose to his feet, Goldust used the Curtain Call to pin him then successfully delivering Shattered Dreams after the pinfall.
The hardcore match between the two J.O.B. Squad members began with Al Snow throwing Bob Holly out of the ring and hitting him with a chair before throwing him into the crowd. By the first tier of fans Murnion managed to reverse things, finding a chair to strike Snow with before blinding him with a fire extinguisher and breaking a glass jar over Snow's head. Snow returned with a blast from the fire extinguisher going through to the backstage area where he was thrown into technical boxes. Murnion then found floor tiles to break over Snow's head as well as a beer cooler. Snow managed to escape into the car park, using mop handles to break over Murnion's back. The two found their way past the car park onto the banks of the Mississippi River. Snow kicked Murnion to the floor and choked him before throwing him into the river, Snow being dragged into the river soon after. Snow escaped the river but Murnion chased him, tripping him over to wrap Snow in a chain fence, making it virtually impossible to kick out of the pin fall.Results
