I saw a Titantron video for "The Union" that had Big Show, Test, Shamrock, and a couple others in it and I was wondering what it was and when it took place. I don't remember it.

It was Show, Shamrock, Foley and Test. They all had axes to grind with McMahon (Test, Show and Shamrock were ex-Corporation members, Foley just didn't like the cut of his jib)Largely forgettable, it ran from post WM 15 til sometime in the early summer. The one big thing to come out of it was that one night, every member of the Union got one reqeust granted. Test's request was to go on a date with Stephanie......

Mankind, Big Show, Ken Shamrock, and Test would carry 2x4's around and their goal was to fight off the Corporate Ministry. During Austin's short run as CEO of the WWF, he gave each Union memeber one request as someone alreay mentioned, which lead to Test asking out Stephanie.

Squad: Al Snow, Bob Holly, (2 Cold) Scorpio, the Blue Meanie, and Gillberg, kinda. There may have been other members of the J.O.B. Squad, but those are the ones I remember.

i know ive seen foley in the job squad tshirt, so that's where i made the connection, i just have no recollection of the union Foley would wear JOB Squad t-shirts, but wasn't in the JOB Squad. He was just buddies with Al Snow. You might be thinking of the night he won the title on Raw, where his collared shirt got ripped, and you can see the JOB Squad shirt underneath. Ironic that a man won the WWF Title wearing a shirt about jobbing. Foley has jokingly said he regrets wearing the JOB Squad shirt that night, since he inadvertantly gave Al Snow a plug.

Did Test really need Austin's favors to ask Steph out?
Hahaha, deep down inside, Test is a jobber in life.

I guess if you think about it the Union one of the most important groups in WWE history. Test asks out Steph storyline wise, which leads to that wedding, that leads to Steph and HHH spending a ton of time together, HHH dumps Chyna and makes the biggest trade up in the history of relationships from the musclebound freak to the billion dollar princess.

I wonder if they'll ever play up the history between Test and Steph again, I mean I really doubt they will but you never know.
