This is what I'm going to be talking about in this post [VIDEO]
I will discuss more when I watch the PPV finally after over 20 years.
This happened almost 21 years ago and I wish that with my subscription to the WWE Network I had watched this exactly 20 years later. That is what this before I watched last year's Survivor Series which featured mainly Raw vs. SmackDown Live talent. It wasn't a bad PPV and one of the first ones I watched since before subscribing to the WWE's streaming network that I had never before ordered a PPV.
Anyway since I admitted in another post that I never saw Mankind vs. Undertaker "Hell in a Cell" at King of the Ring 1998. I've heard about it and seen clips of it especially what you saw in that other post of Mankind (Mick Foley) being thrown off the top of the cell it was groundbreaking and special. Certainly very dangerous to Foley taking mainly two high-risk bumps! With this PPV there were other matches of note Ken Shamrock was that year's King of the Ring defeating The Rock by tap-out and then the main event a "First Blood" match between Kane and Stone Cold Steve Austin for the WWF Championship.
Too bad that with the Survivor Series 1997 I hardly know anything else about the card without looking it up. And without watching the PPV before starting this post, most of those matches don't capture my attention. Lucky for you, this is one PPV I will watch for you all. Especially for the one thing fans know from this PPV which you see in vid above!
Below another vid I mentioned the "Bret screwed Bret" interview with Vince McMahon. This is the capstone for the year in the World Wrestling Federation. Little did I know watching Raw during the course of the year that the creative direction of this product was about to change and drastically. [VIDEO]
Here's one drastic creative change, I can't believe Vince McMahon used to be the one who called most of the matches in WWE. He used to be the play-by-play man when in reality he was the owner. The he transitioned to the evil owner of the WWE, he became that character. The Montreal Screwjob is probably a unplanned consequence where eventually Vince McMahon would become Mr. McMahon. And of course as stated, this event would be both mimicked and referenced in pro-wrestling for years to come!Anyway since I admitted in another post that I never saw Mankind vs. Undertaker "Hell in a Cell" at King of the Ring 1998.
