I met Booker at a convention and in a Q&A he said a guy he always liked working with was Benoit, despite what we know now. Watching stuff like their stuff in WCW and in WWE years after this show, it’s not hard to see why.
I loved when the announce team saw Buff's "cast" Schiavone said something like "A Doctor would lose his license if he wrapped a patient like that" to which Heenan replied "Or he would work here." The awkward silence that followed was hilarious, Tony and Tenay had no how idea how to respond to that.
Ya, not having a solid base under your feet and still chucking a 230 lb man safely was insane. That goes for both men, for Saturn to trust the very green Goldberg to execute, but also for the effort it took to pull off by Goldberg. Absolute monster
I was so into the Raven DDP feud as a 9 year old that after lobbying for 2 years, I got my mom to order this as my first PPV. Raven was my guy. When he won the title I lost my mind.

It's not really that surprising considering he was raised in one of the greatest wrestling families, but I do think he gets glanced over a lot. He's always been a solid worker, and he's the very definition of humble and kind.

Clicked for the DIAMONNNNNNNDDDDD CUTTTTTERRRRRRR (would've clicked either way since it's WWW's new video) and it did not disappoint. Great job as usual Señor Zane
Please do Slamboree 98’! I feel like like that PPV is underrated and never gets love or even talked about. The undercard definitely it’s strength. That undercard has great stories and payoffs.
L.A. Park(La Parka) is a good wrestler but goddamn he's got a horrible reputation for going into business for himself example last at MLWs post Mania Tapings
I was there right outside the gate of the Miami Arena when Macho Man was run over. It was very interesting watching the whole thing unfold and seeing everyone before and after the stunt.
I believe this was the first wrestling ppv I was ever allowed to purchase, so this one was pretty special for me. There's a weird moment I don't think I'll ever forget: around the moment when Sting is going for a him splash against the guardrail, a kid him the front row notices a small hole in Sting's singlet and points it out to the camera. Definitely a highlight of the whole show.
5:02 Brian Zane: "I would gladly vote for a presidential candidate who promised a federal ban on glitter". Well, Zane, I hate to "shatter" your "dreams" but Dustin Runnels might disagree with you, especially when he brought back his "golden" persona at Judgement Day: In Your House on October 18, 1998. :)
13:25 I agree about the perfect combo of great slimy heel on the mic & serious opponent in the ring, especially about how hard it is to find that balance. I can think of examples where they get the first part down but either run off or avoid doing ringwork (at least until PPVs), and it's easy for the reaction to go from "wow, this guy is such an entertaining jerk" to "dude, step up or shut up, you don't actually DO anything anymore".
I liked Booker T. from the very first days of Harlem Heat but that one right there is what will always be my favorite version of him. And the best of seven series between him and Benoit was amazing. Good times when the TV title was held in such high regards to have those two guys feud in such a series over it.
I was at this show as a birthday present way up in the nose bleed section. Best memory of it was after the show seeing the giant/big show and Saturn getting into a small car after outside the arena.
@lutherheggs451 I understand your point but I disagree. Paranoid maybe but his wife was around a lot of guys who were drinking on drugs and unfaithful to their wives I'd be a little cautious too. Plus the whole locking her in the closet thing sounds way overblown I think the door was locked sure but she could probably open it whenever she wanted
When I was too young to really understand the difference between wrestling companies I remember buying WWF war zone for the PS1 and being surprised that Goldberg wasn't in it
Thanks for reviewing this. 👏👏👏 Because of the propaganda, its tough to find objective reviewers. You hit all the points nicely and brought back alotta memories for a WCW kid. Well done
These late 90’s WCW cruiser weights were way before their time. So entertaining & did moves that were insane. WCW isn’t what it was without those Cruiserweights doing their thing every Monday Nitro & every Pay Per View. They were great to open the show & get the energy maxed out & set the tone for the rest of the night. I’m still upset that they never had them do a 5-8 man ladder match. They would’ve shut the damn arena down with a 6 man ladder match. I know that for a fact.
I love the way hogan changes out the wood bat for the metal one Nash and the giant know somethings up its great hogan got em good The whole ppv was great one of the best ever
Am I the only one who always winces ( @ 7:12 ) everytime Benoit hits a back superplex and then holds his head in pain (considering Chris Benoit's neck injury in 2001)?
@@BBoy4040 definitely selling but; giving the top rope back suplex or the flying headbutt is a car crash no matter how good your technique is. I don’t wince at the selling but the knowledge of what this repeated sub concussive blows to the head is going to do to him and his family.
@@allenfenwick6257 You got a point, Allen. However, the selling looked too good. I was worried because of Benoit's 2001 injury and do we really need to talk about what happened in 2007?
Benoit and Booker T fought to a time limit draw on one of the Nitros before Spring Stampede, so the time limit was ditched for the PPV. How long did that match go? 14:11. Vintage WCW booking weirdness right there. 😆

You would think he would be that one comedy character that's always in a full body cast, walking on a pair of crutches. But nope! He would take a supreme ass whuppin' then show up next week totally unscathed.
He was the 2nd hottest babyface behind Austin. 98 should’ve been stings best year… instead it was his most disappointing. Crazy to say sting held the tag team belts longer than the world heavyweight title in 98.
That finish of the match reminds me of a Cultaholic Wrestling Rankings list (WCW Champions Ranked). They commented on his 3rd reign beginning with an injury due to Hogan shoving Savage off the top rope. They consistered it being a metaphor for his entire WCW career, with Hogan being in the picture.
