WWF King Of The Ring 1998 (DVD)

To make it quite clear, this event, King of the Ring 1998, is the most talked about wrestling event of all time. Period. That is just the way it is. Although, on paper, the event really isn't that spectacular or memorable. Yeah sure, there are a few good matches, some great matches, but the reason that this monumental event lives on in the memory of virtually every wrestling fan around the globe is because of one definitive match, the Hell in the Cell epic between Mankind and the Undertaker.

WWF KING OF THE RING 1998 featured nine matches including one of the most famous of all time. I will provide the matches, but not the results in case you choose to watch for yourself.

Mankind v Undertaker was a landmark, the moves from this match are still visible on Wrestling today as the Undertaker threw Mankind off the 20 foot Cell and he crashed ...  Read the complete review

Easily the most remembered pay per view of the WWF attitude era. This event featured a very strong undercard but is best remembered for 2 matches on the card. Stone Cold Steve Austin and Kane produced a thrilling match which ended when Austin bled after being caught with a chair shot by the Undertaker. This marked a huge upset as Kane won his 1st World Wrestling Federation Championship less than a year after his character had been introduced. Undertaker versus Mankind stole the show in a gruesome hell in a cell match. Mick Foley as Mankind took a devastating fall through the announcers table from the top of the steel structure. After amazingly ...  Read the complete review
