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 After Burn 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."

[edit] 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.

[edit] Hosts

Jakked and Metal were hosted by many commentators. These included Michael Cole, Kevin Kelly, Tom Prichard, Jonathan Coachman, Chris Learry, Marc Loyd, & Al Snow.

[edit] 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.

[edit] United Kingdom

In the UK WWF Metal aired on Sky One Sundays at 11.00AM, and was replaced by WWE Afterburn in May 2002. WWF Shotgun/Metal matches were also packaged in the UK as WWF Superstars until 2002.
