WWF King of the Ring 1998 Review | Wrestling With Wregret

[@shinpai]

Amazing how many people forget that Foley came back to interfere in the main event on this night after all of that. Man's a beast.

Both Foley and the Undertaker interfered in the main event. Taker had a foot injury; Mankind had basically been in a series of car crashes. Both men were double-tough.

[@princealigorna7468]

Ken is a fucking legend. The dude is how old now? Like 54 or something like that? And in Impact, he just recently had a huge feud with Sami Callihan that was must-watch shit and led to them teaming for a bit because both of those bastards realized that while they hate each other, they also respect each other. But more than that...KEN IS DOING OVER-THE-TOP-ROPE DIVES IN HIS MID-50'S!

[@fattiger6957]

Does anyone know why he left WWF in 1999 and never came back? I suspect he may have some beef with the company. The guy is a HOF shoe in, but they completely ignore him.

[@princealigorna7468]

@@fattiger6957 IIRC, he left because he wanted to go back to MMA? If you know how that turned out..yeah..Ken had some good fights in Zuffa UFC, but his best days were definitely in the SEG era, and kept at it for too long. That sport just eventually passed him by, while pro-wrestling really doesn't do that. If anything, Ken was ahead of his time as a wrestler in terms of being a jacked duded that can fly. His agility at the time (and even now) is impressive for a dude that shredded. He was Brian Cage before we had Brian Cage.

Vince should have stopped that match countless times while it was happening. The fact he let it keep going was total bullshit. He didn't care one bit about Foley, he was prepared to let him die. Not to mention all the other stunts he allowed Foley to still do afterwards.

[@domalom9454]

@@SmithCommaBenjamin you do realise that Foley was responsible over some of the events happening in the HIAC. He had a sit down with Terry Funk and mentioned being pushed off the cell, but the match did stop and Foley got put on a stretcher, and he then got back up and continued the match. There was one opportunity that Foley left the match on a stretcher and the match been thrown out but Foley wanted to continue so it’s not really Vince’s fault

[@HarbingerOfBattle]

My parents are NOT wrestling fans. However when Foley’s first book came out he did an interview on NPR that my mom heard and she told dad and dad heard it and they both developed an appreciation for Mrs. Foley’s baby boy…and then I told them the kind of matches he does and the injuries that he has suffered. Then they started talking to me about how wrestling is fake and nobody gets hurt…and then I showed them the match…The One, you know the one. I even provided commentary from his book. The first fall, my mom screamed. The both of them are in disbelief as the cage is raised and he is put on a stretcher and I keep going from the book. And then he stands up. Both their mouths form a perfect O shape and my dad exclaims “How?”. The second fall, they both gasp, I continue proving narration from the book, when I tell them he lost consciousness they both look at me like I’m crazy. The match continues, they are slack jawed in awe the rest of the way and are fully immersed in it all. They are even talking back to the tv, they are begging him to stop…and then the tacks came out. I’m sure you can guess the rest. 1, 2, 3. “Good lord” says my dad. My mom has her hands over her mouth and she is crying. My parents are still NOT wrestling fans, but they have developed an admiration for the athleticism, toughness and emotional storytelling that happens in the squared circle, especially for Mick Foley.

The WWF was looking for main eventers at this time so it was perfect timing for Shamrock. HHH, the Rock, and Mankind weren't really main event class yet.

I usually think that I can remember 1998 WWE pretty well...but for some reason I always forget how big Dan Severn was for them at the time! And I don't know why!

And yet...Dan's run was just a blip. It's Ken that really found his footing and made something of himself in the company. Is it just because Dan couldn't cut a promo to save his life?

Reupload, huh? Well the HiaC match is my favourite wrestling match of all time, even though it's far from the best "wrestling match", the same way Mick Foley is my favourite wrestler of all time even though he's far from the "best wrestler" (although I will stand by my assertion that he's the best human being ever to step into a wrestling ring). It's the ultimate condensation of pure wrestling drama- two guys who hate each other fighting to the finish, doing anything to destroy each other, with Undertaker being a cold, brutal monster, and Mankind showing a psychotic grit and refusal to give up that's practically inhuman. It was also unbelievably _real_ in a way that no "worked shoot" will ever even approach, particularly as exemplified by JR's commentary: "Will somebody stop the damn match! Enough is enough!" The moment when Mick stands up off the stretcher and starts back down the aisle, genuinely fighting free of the restraining hands of Terry Funk and the others who are genuinely trying to hold him back out of concern for his welfare because _he has a fight to finish_ while the crowd goes insane will send chills down your spine. It'll never be matched, and it never _should_ be.

Honestly in Shamrock could've came in a little earlier, what a Superstar he would've been. I love Ken Shamrock especially his MMA days. You are absolutely right, he was not used to his full potential

Not only is Severns theme a banger, there's many great entrance themes during this period, including my personal favorite the Highway to Hell Undertaker theme from WWF The Music Volume 3

You bring up a good point with Shamrock. He would've KILLED in Ruthless Aggression era Smackdown.
