WWF Over the Edge was a professional wrestling pay-per-view event that was produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE), a Connecticut-based professional wrestling promotion.

Backlash (1999)
The 1999 Backlash was the inaugural Backlash professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF; WWE as of 2002). It took place on April 25, 1999, at the Providence Civic Center in Providence, Rhode Island and was presented by Castrol GTX.

The concept of the pay-per-view was based around the backlash from WWF's flagship event, WrestleMania. In line with the event's concept, the main event was a rematch from WrestleMania XV between Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock for the WWF Championship, but this time with a special guest referee, Sh ...

Good Friends, Better Enemies
In most contexts, the concept of good denotes the conduct that should be preferred when posed with a choice between possible actions. Good is generally considered to be the opposite of evil and is of interest in the study of ethics, morality, philosophy, and religion. The specific meaning and etymology of the term and its associated translations among ancient and contemporary languages show substantial variation in its inflection and meaning, depending on circumstances of place and history, or of philosophical or religious context. History of Western ideas Every language has a word expressing ''good'' in the sense of "having the right or desirable quality" ( ἀρετή) and ''bad'' in the sense "undesirable". A sense of moral judgment and a distinction "right and wrong, good and bad" are cultural universals.

Subtitle (titling)
In books and other works, the subtitle is an explanatory title added by the author to the title proper of a work. Another kind of subtitle, often used in the past, is the alternative title, also called alternate title, traditionally denoted and added to the title with the alternative conjunction "or", hence its appellation.. As an example, Mary Shelley gave her most famous novel the title ''Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus'', where ''or, The Modern Prometheus'' is the alternative title, by which she references the Greek Titan as a hint of the novel's themes. A more modern usage is to simply separate the subtitle by punctuation, making the subtitle more of a continuation or sub-element of the title proper. In library cataloging and in bibliography, the subtitle does not include an alternative title, which is defined as part of the title proper: e.g., '' One Good Turn: A Natural History of the Screwdriver and the Screw'' is filed as ''One Good Turn'' (title) and ''A Natura ...
