EVERY 1998 WCW PPV Ranked from WORST To BEST

Honestly, I think that “tag team partners have a match and the winner keeps the titles and gets to pick a new partner because they’re having a falling out“ is a pretty good idea that could’ve worked somewhere besides WCW.

[@BoogalooBartholomew]

Would be a lot more interesting than the lose the title than immediately implode story that's the norm in wrestling. At least the first five times it's trotted out.

A lot of people like to dunk on him and it is deserved now based on his bad takes on Busted Open, but if you go back and watch Nitro's and PPV's from that time you'll see Disco Inferno was actually very over with the crowd and always got strong reactions for his matches. He was a solid midcard hand throughout the late 90's til the end for WCW.

[@mutts.nutts1]

And the content just keeps flowing, thanks lads 👍

[@Tyrineal]

Hot take, but Booker I think should have won the WCW title in 98, to see if it would give the company a much needed shot in the arm. He was putting on banger matches and made the TV title feel more important then the WCW Title

[@namikstudios]

WCW didn't need a shot in the arm in 98. They did in 2000 though. And nobody thought that the TV title was more important than the WHC.

[@rmoore2nd619]

Hot take: Nash beating Goldberg is only seen as a bad move because the Fingerpoke happened 8 days later. It was the right move because they were booking Goldberg horribly during his title reign.

If it wasn’t DDP getting the belt, Nash was the next best thing.

[@jennybyford8071]

DDP has to be WCWs MVP of 1998

[@rmoore2nd619]

Goldberg’s title reign was a result of WCW not knowing what to do with him and WWE catching up and eventually passing them in the ratings. They only had him beat Hogan to pop a rating. It’s no coincidence that every PPV after that is ranked on the bottom half of this list

[@moopert86]

Don't know how true this is, but I heard Vince only didn't show up at Slamboree because it was the same day as Stephanie's graduation from college.

[@ohkay2360]

WCW is explained perfectly at this pay-per-view. There was two rings yet they were wrestling in the ring with the trap door

[@chriswhite3090]

someones been watching reliving the war

[@edwardarcherwrestling6295]

It's a shame nobody at Cultaholic has been watching Reliving the War and they still spout off WWE's revisionist history when it comes to Goldberg. Outside of the DDP match, his run with the belt was booked horribly and he started to essentially be a part time wrestler, while Nash was arguably as over as Goldberg at the same time. The pop when Kevin Nash beats Goldberg should be the nail in the coffin on the argument that it was a bad call

[@TheSkyatollah]

They make content by smarks for smarks.

[@optimus2008]

​@TheSkyatollah Well then, no need for you to see it, right?

[@optimus2008]

Also, they weren't spouting any revisionist history. They did talk about how Goldberg was barely being booked at all despite being world champion and they've criticized the Nash victory many times. So I don't see what the criticism is for.

[@ThePaineTrain]

10:27 Generous to think that Disco Inferno ever had 2 fans…

[@namikstudios]

Disco was far more over than most midcarders ever are.

[@tafua_a]

The same Adam Pacitti years ago said that Disco was underrated and actually quite over. Then Disco decides the world needs his awful opinions, and all of a sudden nobody ever liked him ever.

Hogan v savage....hall v sting...Nash v giant...lex luger v Scott Steiner...Bret hart v curt hennig...and the best match on that card...the triple threat no dq match for us title ddp v raven v Benoit was to this day one of the best matches I have ever watched in my life...but wcw had a lot of great ppv cards that just didn't do what they shoulda did....

[@BoogalooBartholomew]

98 should have been the year the Hogans Flairs Savages and so on started bringing up the Pages Bookers Jerichos Benoits to the main events. Also Raven as a world champ would have done great businness. I sometime wonder where WCW would be if the top of the card were better team players.

[@optimus2008]

You're talking about Hogan.

[@michaeldennistooley4271]

I hear you though for me those gentlemen should have rained in the 2000s ideally. 98 should have been about sting and Goldberg and then killing the nwo ✌️🕊️

[@BoogalooBartholomew]

@@michaeldennistooley4271 I wasn't even talking about giving them reigns in 98 more so start to prepare them for main events let Jericho beat Nash (as one example) so we'd see the older generation moving aside so the younger generation so to speak can really get that shine Even if there was Nitro or two where the established guys didn't show or do mostly backstage skits/interviews and let the upper mid carders do most of the wrestling so we could glimpse the future

[@namikstudios]

Cultaholic, Luchas de Apuestas (mask/hair wager matches) are a huge part of Lucha Libre tradition. Countless wrestlers have lost their masks or had their heads shaven as a result of them. Claiming that Eric Bischoff was somehow disrespecting tradition by putting on matches with gimmicks steeped in tradition makes no sense whatsoever. Eric himself has even had his head shaved on multiple occasions! If you really want an example of a promoter disrespecting Lucha traditions, see Vince McMahon forcing Rey Mysterio to start wearing masks again after he had lost it. In Lucha tradition, once you lose your mask you can never put it back on. Vince didn't care about that though, he just wanted to cash in on merch sales. "“Prior to coming to WWE, I was in OVW training, which was a week prior to my debut and the office wanted to see the gear I wanted to use. When I showed it to them, I had no mask. They were like, ‘Where is the mask?’ ‘Well, I lost the mask.’ In Lucha Libre, if you lose the mask, you never put it back on. They were like, ‘No, Vince wants you to come back with the mask.’" - Óscar Gutiérrez Rubio (Rey)

Cultaholic, please do some research and learn a bit about the industry before pumping out yet another WCW bashing effort like this. Stick to marking out over whatever garbage WWE is serving up these days and leave the peak of the industry alone. Wrestling has never been as good as it was in WCW from 96-99. Even the worst WCW PPV in 98 is better than anything WWE has ever produced.
