Austin had three possible opponents for Summerslam 99 before he eventually defended the championship against Triple H & Mankind
Austin VS "Double J" Jeff Jarett - remember when Jarett attacked Ben Stiller. but Dlo Brown made the save? well it was originally suppose to be the "Texas Rattlesnake" making the save Austin had hit Jarett with a stunner prior to Fully Loaded and during Fully Loaded. the two were originally suppose to meet at Summerslam 99. but there was still some bad blood between the two from when Austin worked for Jaretts father so plans were scrapped
^ im actually glad this match didn't happen Austin & Taker were two of my favorite superstars from the attitude era but I don't see how beating up Jarett would've helped his WWF career
Austin Vs Billy Gunn/Mr. Ass - Austin was reportedly all on board to face 1999 King of the Ring winner Billy Gunn at Summerslam but at the last minute the "Texas Rattlesnake" developed cold feet with the planned match and Billy Gunn/Mr. Ass would end up facing the Rock at Summerslam
^ im disappointed this match didn't happen I think it would've helped boths career especially if Gunn had gone over
Austin Vs Chyna - again remember when Austin helped Chyna earn the number one contender spot in a triple threat against Undertaker & Triple H. only for the "Ninth Wonder" to lose her contender spot against Mankind a week later? well Chyna was originally intended to win the Championship from Austin at Summerslam. but her decision to pose for playboy forced Vince to scrap those plans (Chyna would however become the IC Champion two months later)
^ again little disappointed we didn't get this match
