WWF Jakked/Metal

WWF Jakked/Metal

"WWF Jakked" and "WWF Metal" were World Wrestling Federation syndicated shows which aired on the weekend from September 4, 1999 to May 18, 2002, replacing "WWF Shotgun Saturday Night".

For a short time the shows were changed to "WWE Jakked" and "WWE Metal" to keep with the company's name change to World Wrestling Entertainment. They were replaced by "WWE Bottom Line" and WWE Afterburn in syndication, with the live matches moving to WWE Velocity. In late 1999/early 2000, "WWF Metal" was advertised with the tagline "forged by attitude."

Formats

"Jakked" aired on Saturday nights and was edgier while "Metal" aired in the afternoon and was more kid-friendly. Just like the shows they replaced, both shows had the same matches in a different order with different commentary teams. The shows were mainly for lower card wrestlers.

From April 2002 until May 2002, when "VELOCITY" replaced "JAKKED"/"METAL" both shows were "SmackDown!" exclusive.

Hosts

Originally, "Jakked" was commented on by Michael Hayes and Jonathan Coachman while "Metal" was commented by Tom Prichard and Kevin Kelly. In 2001 - 2002, "JAKKED" was hosted by Michael Cole and Michael Hayes and "Metal" was handled by Jonathan Coachman and Kevin Kelly. However, in March 2002, changes were made again and "Jakked" featured Marc Lloyd and Al Snow, while "METAL" was hosted by Marc Lloyd and Michael Hayes.

Notable moments

The tapings often contained their own unique moments of history. Dean Malenko's lengthy Light Heavyweight Championship reign was almost exclusively featured on these tapings. The series also featured WWF competitors wrestling up and coming future indie and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling stars. Future stars to appear included Mr. Kennedy (competing under his real name, Ken Anderson), Samoa Joe, Low Ki, and A.J. Styles.

In 2001, professional wrestler Mike Bell was legitimately assaulted by Perry Saturn after a botched move, with Saturn dropping Bell on his head outside the ring.

Rikishi debuted on the November 13, 1999 edition of "Jakked," with his last name spelled Fatu. This was the night before WWF Survivor Series at which Rikishi "ran over" Steve Austin. The main reason why it was revealed that Rikishi was the driver was because Scotty Too Hotty slipped that he had been with Rikishi at the time of the incident. Mick Foley said that he caught on that this was a lie because Rikishi had not debuted yet when, in fact, he had albeit not on a major WWF televisied show.
