Lots of run-ins and weapons. It may have been fun to see the hot shotting for its time, but 1998-1999 was a terrible time to see any technical wrestling on WWF TV.

[@xsoultillerx]

@@kaijusoshingeki7214 everyone likes to put ringwork/technical wrestling on a pedestal now but the problem is that it's arguably why things are so boring now. almost everyone is just playing their CaWs from the smackdown games now. there's no personality, no character, no reason to give a reaction now. a majority of top wrestlers today would've never made it past the midcard in the 80s or 90s.

[@dnakatomiuk]

It's great that Jim wouldn't work with the Kliq after the curtain call, and HHH going to Shit stain to change the outcome of chynas match. They still has influence then
