1. The Headbangers & Taka Michinoku v. Kaientai- This was an above average tag match and accualty surprised me as being ggod. The head bangers have always had alot of potential and i think they carrie the load here. The headbangers controll alot of the match which gets kind of boring but than Taka Michinoku gets the hot tag and cleans house and some good near falls for an okay match. WInners Taka Michinoku v. Kaientai. Match Rating 7/10.
2. Ken Shamrock v. Jeff Jarrett Semi-Final match for the king of the ring- This was a decnt match but the ending really was wierd and not used corect. It starts out with back and forth action and than jerret issolates shamrock and slows down the pace. Ken fights back hits a few big moves but than out of no were gets on the ankle lock and jerret tps out after controlling 90% of the match. Okay i guess. WInner Ken Shamrock. Match Rating 6/10.
3. Dan "The Beast" Severn v. The Rock Semi-Final for the king of the ring- I would say that this was better than the shamrock match. I really liked the rock back in the day he played his role really well and tried to be heel. It was abovious who was going to win but the match itself was okay. Winner the rock. Match Rating 7/10.
4. Al Snow & Head v. Too Much- You talk about a bad match it is here. Sure the head thing was funny the first few time you saw it but after a while it got really old. It was boring and dumb with al talking to the head for most of this match. Reminded me of boogyman vs. JBL at the royal rumble. Winners too much. Match Rating 2/10.
5. X-Pac V. Owen Hart- This was a great match. It was just a few months before owne died rip and they put on a good match. More of a wrestling match which x-pac was not used to but it seemed like he caught on and flowed throguh the match pretty well. Good match. Winner X-Pac. Match Rating 7.5/10.
6. New Age Outlaws (Champions) V. The New Midnight Express for the wwe tag team titles- This was a decent tag match. Not a whole lot to sya about this match excpet that it is average and just good tag wrestling. Winners and still wwe tag team chmap the new age outlaws. Match Rating 6.5/10.
7. The rock vs. Ken Shamrock in the king ring finals- This is the match that really surprised me winner wise. I would say that this was better than there wretlemania match but not as good as there royal rumble. Good soild wrestling matcha nd this was one of the better macthes that shamrock had lots of near falls and the rock sold the ankle lock great. Winner Ken Shamrock. Match Rating 8/10.
8. Mankind vs. Undertaker hell in a cell - This is one of the most brutal macthes that you will ever see. How mankind survived this is beyond me. They start at the top of the cell and the first thing is he gets throughn off through a table. The climb back up and he gets chokeslammed through the cage were a chair hits his mouth a busts him open. The rest is average but at the end the thumbtacks come in and he gets chockslammed on them. One of the sickest matches you will ever witness. Winner Undertekr. match rating 10/10
9. Stone COld vs. Kane for the wwe title in a first blood match- This was a good way to close off the show. They were starting to push kane let him win the title but than he lost it the next night back so dumb. ANyway the match was good not really wrestling at all just alot of hardcore action with chairs stairs and almost fire. Taker cost austin the title. WInner and new wwe champ Kane. Match Rating 8.5/10.
Well that raps up another i would give king of the ring 1998 a grade of 69.5/90 which is a 77% which means this is a perfect ppv. I would not say that is true but there are matches on this card that are unbelieable. If you can tell me if my review was helpful or not i would appreicate that. Thanks for your time.
Off With Their Heads? I don't get it
This King Of The Ring "98" PPV is not The very best and not the worst. This PPV was best for the Hell in a Cell match between The Undertaker and Mankind. Them both has changed Hell in a Cell matches forever. Buy this video for this match. shamrock winning the King Of The Ring is ok and The Main Event for the WWF Title between Austin and Kane was not as good as the Hell in a Cell match. The rest of the matches are either average or below average.
mankind and undertaker changed cage matches forever
i thought alot about what was going through foley's head when he was against the undertaker before the match, mankind told the undertaker to thrown him 15 fts down cage hitting the announcer table other devices on the table that could have end foley through then a few minutes later foley climbed on top of the cage to get chokeslammed by the understand i don't know what foley was thinking about it appears to me that it look like he was enjoying himself like he was disney world on vacation just volunteering to do these types of stunts especially i saw that famous smile of his with his tooth being stuck in his nose another bump he took that was not suppose to be included in the match was when the chair fell from the top of the cell and landed hard on foley's face that is probably the other reason he lost his tooth and the finally big bump of the match was getting chokeslammed on a high pile of thumbtacks those 3 bumps changed cage matches forever i orginally gave the match 3 stars i feel it was being a little mean so i could change the rating in the 3 to 4 star catergory and keep it as the 5 star rating for the memories if i made a list for the greatest wrestling matches ever this would probably b at the end or get honorable mention but for the memories it would be in the top five list i thank mick for risking his body for us he could have stopped at anytime even before the match began due to the high of the cage 15 feet is a long way down anything can happen between that type of distance while the fans was having the time of their lives his biggest fans which are his fan would crying their hearts out for foley to be save after the match ended mankind really is god he is just a spot fest bump machine he can do it all talk the talk and walk the walk he is in my top ten favorite wrestler of all time list i have to give credit for the undertaker as well he follow mick's lead of finishing the match it looked like he wanted to kill foley during the match but probably deep down in his heart he was feeling almost the same way as mick's family undertaker is a good wrestler when he wants to be even a great one at times for a man his size is almost the total package as a heel wrestler he speaks his microphone skill is nearly great not as good as heel hbk or the rock but still acceptable i can hear the guy talk without getting to bored his matches are usually average but on rare occasion can have four star or better matches with top wrestlers like mick, hhh, rvd, shawn michaels, kurt angle, brock lesnar, and randy orton he even had some decent outing with moderate ring performer the big show and average wrestler in the ring jbl so the man get it done in the ring if he work like this at all times the sky would be the limit for this man he would go out my way of calling one of the greatest if not the greatest big man wrestlers of all time but since he is getting older he has slowed down a little but no by much
