Summerslam 98 was one of the most epic ppv's of the attitude era, everything felt huge and the AC DC highway to hell song was a perfect fit for the build up towards Stone Cold vs The Undertaker title main event. The best match of the show was easily The Rock vs Triple H ladder match. Great memories watching this ppv on VHS with my best friend (RIP)

This was the night The Rock became a megastar. His popularity would not skyrocket until the spring of 1999, but this is where it began.

[@lavarivy2259]

I 100% agree! You can hear the crowd cheering for him!

[@pleaseshutup7053]

I feel like the rock and sock connection is what took him to superstar status

[@Kas58223]

For me is the cheering here and when the crowd would say the rock catchphrases and the rock to keep his heat saying this ain’t sing a long with the rock

[@nisargkasturiwale3877]

His popularity skyrocketed since the beginning of the corporation angle in late 1998 with further bolstered by his face turn in April of 1999..After that there was no stopping him and yes he eventually overtake Austin in terms of popularity..

[@lexkanyima2195]

But he had just becoming a babyface just like that and he turned heel 8 weeks later to become WWF champion in a unexpected swerve so he was a megastar at Survivor Series.

That poster for the PPV was amazing. Remember thinking how cool it looked as a kid. The ladder match is really underrated I have always thought.

[@LongLiveRockAnRoll]

I have been watching Reliving The War since day 1 (and Wrestling Bios before that). We have finally made it to Summerslam 98 which was my absolute favourite PPV from my first full year as a fan. I know other shows might have better in ring performances (although this show does have some great matches) but for sheer nostalgia this will be hard to beat (I was absolutely DX and Stone Cold obsessed at this time). Thank you for everything you've done so far with the series Mr Bios, keep up the great work.

[@SLSmith_96]

I've been personally waiting on this one, so I wanna take this time to give my personal experience with this show. Apologies in advance for the long comment. This was probably the first PPV I ever remember watching in full. I was born in 1996, so obviously I have no memory of watching this live, but my grandfather recorded this on VHS (as he did all PPVs he bought) and I remember discovering the tape around 5-6 years old, and I LOVED it. I still love it. It introduced me to pretty much every wrestler I would come to love, and pretty much introduced me to wrestling as a whole, as I do remember really beginning to watch wrestling weekly not long after. The energy, the action, the promos, the hype packages, AC/DC on the theme song, HHH's entrance with the DX Band playing him to the ring, and ICP playing Oddities to the ring. It's just perfect. You never forget your first wrestling show and this was mine, I'll never forget it.

[@mikem10481]

What I loved about this show was what happened afterwards. The Rock and Triple H were Main Eventers in waiting. Jeff Jarrett killed his Double J persona for good. Edge looked promising as a future long-term talent. Sympathy for Mankind which led to his unlikely rise. Wanted to see more of the Brothers of Destruction. Stone Cold being The Man. I thought WWF would slide in quality after this show, but they went from strength to strength. Can't wait for future Living the War episodes.

[@zacharythomason7359]

Same here.

[@jcorona9]

I was at the Lion’s Den match. MSG has a special theatre in the arena. No special entrance just a regular entrance to get in. Paid for the ticket. Had big screens to watch the rest of the show. Awesome stuff Mr. Wrestling Bios!

The build up to this main event was so well done. The First Blood Match, the Tag Team titles, the Brothers of Destruction reveal the week before! We were really lead to believe Kane was going to interfere and cost Austin the title! I remember cheering when Undertaker told Kane to go back and he would win on his own.

[@weatherupdates2]

This is such a Good Video to chronicle this Awesome PPV of 98. So happy i held onto my VHS since the network cut most of it. I have it in a vhs collection called classic 5 of 1998 includes all the big PPVs from that year

[@doragonakuma]

I went to this when I was 11 years old. We were in the theater for the Lion's Den match. It was cool, but we basically watched the PPV (with full commentary) except for the one match. Kind of a weird set up. But I still had a blast. I had also met Bam Bam Bigelow, Terri Runnels and The Shiek earlier that day.

[@Masutora]

I was there for that too. Do you remember someone getting escorted out? I always wondered why they were kicking that dude out. Seemed like a waste of money to go to MSG and get kicked out before the show is even done. 😂

[@varsityjacketsuk7948]

This is a PPV never forgotten!

[@zacharythomason7359]

Totally agree with you.

[@AHermitNamedJoe]

That ladder match was like peak WWE at that time. The attitude era was great for the stories but actual like five Star classics there wasn't many, but that definitely was one of them. Of course at this same time down in Japan Kings Road was also at it's peak with Misawa, Kenta kobashi, and others having 5 star matches every show... But all the story was in the ring... I do think from 98 to 2000 give or take a little was professional wrestling at its peak in every company worldwide!

[@louisvelez40]

My favorite match of the night. Rock vs HHH ladder match which set the Rock for main event status later on in the year after this loss. My absolute favorite AC/DC song. SummerSlam 97: Austin injures neck by Owen on that botched tombstone SummerSlam 98: Austin accidentally knocks himself out vs Taker SummerSlam 99: Austin brutally gets attacked post match by HHH with injured knee after losing the title Austin was in a championship match 3 years in a row

[@ShaunInce123]

Honestly, the main thing that always stuck out to me in this PPV was how extremely over Rock was in his ladder match with Triple H. Rock was a heel & the crowd was cheering him like crazy when he did the people's elbow.

[@ShaunInce123]

​@Shawn shakur At In your House: Breakdown a month later, the triple threat steel cage match has a double people's elbow spot & the crowd pops really loud for that one too. Not too long after, the Nation of Domination breaks up & Rock has the brief babyface run until he wins the WWE championship.

[@scaredsheetlessNH]

I loved this pay-per-view. 1998 was year I started watching wrestling "full-time" going from a casual fan in the years prior to being a super fan. I can't say as much for the past decade though. Some diamonds in the rough, but wrestling's just too watered down for me now. But I remember this being the first PPV my grandfather letting me stay up late and watch (I was 10 in 1998 and had a bed time). It still remains one of my favorite pay-per-views of all time. I watched the VHS so many times when I was a kid, it probably doesn't even work anymore. I think most of the matches were solid, the Oddities match was not great, but still fun, and HHH vs. The Rock was the MOTN. Despite Taker and Stone Cold not liking their match, I still love it, and that Undertaker leg drop spot from the top rope to the commentary table is still one of my favorite spots of all time. Terrific PPV and love this series, because the Attitude Era was definitely a highlight of my childhood, so thanks Wrestling Bios.

I love the psychology of Austin going back to his technical wrestling roots to keep Taker off guard, knowing that the conventional approach doesn't work.Would've been cool if he had brought it back throughout the match instead of just doing it at the start, possibly a result of the accidental knockout. Nevertheless, such a banger of a Main Event in an already incredibly strong show. Amazing how they managed to work around that accident.
