Here before KZbin police confiscate this

[@roccojamison89gooker51]

That includes Doug Dillinger. The recent Reliving the War episode did not have Alex Wright, Disco Inferno, Ken Shamrock, or Steve Blackman because of Dillinger.

[@Obscusion2]

Crazy to think that we're just about a month away from King of the Ring 1998 now. It's wild to see Mick Foley doing this main event match with Steve Austin as Dude Love, knowing that in just one month he'll be back to Mankind & creating one of the most iconic matches in WWF/E history. It really just shows just how much can change in only a matter of weeks.

[@330wiz7]

That is crazy. Imagine going to Stone Cold and telling him how the next 15 years are gonna go 🤣

[@ShockerTopper]

Wow that's really cool that Bradshaw pushed Tao forward into the path of Taka. I didn't pay attention to stuff like that when I was 13 watching this. Bradshaw really helped him out by doing that because if he missed it would have HURT a lot more than it already does hitting that move. If he didn't have Tao to break his fall he would have hit the guardrail. Gotta give Bradshaw credit for being a professional and good guy doing that.

[@caseyrayharris.esquire489]

Oh man I stood up when I saw this like when I was a kid! Really the only move in this ppv that made me jump up & drop my jaw

The Main Event is one of my favourite matches ever. Great performances from everybody involved. A forgotten classic.

Austin was taking some proper bumps in this one considering his neck injury from just the year before. Shows how much he wanted it and how much he trusted Foley.

Another awesome upload from the wrestling channel with the most jam on the planet. WWF was red hot around this time. Although I watched Nitro. Due to not having the channel for Raw. I did manage to watch the WWF PPVs around this time. I didn’t view the companies as being in competition. WCW to me was where the wrestlers went to retire. Where as WWF was always number one. Head and shoulders above anything WCW was putting out at the time. I remember the ending of this PPV and couldn’t wait to hear what happened on Raw the next again night.

[@SpitFireShoots]

I certainly did have that warm, nostalgic feeling while watching this show. This was the first ever WWF VHS I bought with my own pocket money. I watched it over and over again and my 10-year-old self has a lot of fondness for it. Granted, looking back, the PPV as a whole was quite weak but I still love that main event. Great Doc as always. Keep up the great work! 👍🏻

[@SpitFireShoots]

Just to clarify, I'm not 10 anymore 😂

[@BigLee1901]

Wait, so both Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock hits the top rope with a chair that bounces the chair into their own face on the same night, the two guys that main evented Wrestlemania against each other on two occasions both got beat by the top rope and a chair on the same night, move over Chris Jericho, you gotta share that bragging right with the 1998 Over The Edge top rope

This main event is the very best "overbooked" match of all time. This is the kind of stuff the nWo attempted in every single main event for what felt like two years and it never felt as exciting or as organic as McMahon and the Stooges changing the rules of this main event on the fly. It's perfect.
