Speaking of the series, I'm now at the Eddie Guerrero tribute show which not only means that I'll no longer see the awesomeness of Eddie () but also that I'll start the Orton/Cena series right here since that's their first match together in WWE.
RUMBLE '98~! aka the PPV I rented the most as a child.
I've seen Luna die from being on the back of Vader for a Vader Bomb, LUCHA MINIS with Sunny as Ref and King making 100 insulting comments, Ken Shamrock win the Intercontinental Championship clean, but get screwed via the ref wanting to feel him up and finding BRASS KNUCKS, Austin being a marked man, Foley entertering the rumble under all 3 personalities, Tom Brandi getting chucked out in 3 seconds, & Undertaker being burned alive in a casket more times than I care to count.

How was that Punk promo from Smackdown? Same with his promo with Flair on RAW. Just gets me that much more excited for the Rock/Punk feud, if this is the quality of mic work we'll be getting. Shame that that worthless Ryback still has to be involved, we could be getting January 7th for some solid individual Rock/Punk time as well, instead of just two weeks. Meh, I'll take what I can get.

Yeah Punk killed it this week with promos. Shame Rock will likely just be his usual terrible self during the feud with his lame 5 year old insults that don't make sense. Wonder how he'll top Kung Pow Bitch as one of the lamest and least sense making insults of all time.
RR 98... not a big fan of the event overall. Only like the casket match. RR match starts off great with Funk and Foley trying to kill each other, but the shitty roster they had at the time kinda killed the match. Plus the "Austin is a targeted man" deal was laughable. His music hits, everyone turns and faces the entrance way. Austin sneaks in from behind, eliminates Mero and starts going after someone else. Everyone else turns around by this point and sees Austin... and then completely fucking ignores him and go back to the basic RR stuff of attacking random people for a while then moving on to someone else .
The mini's match from that show was actually really entertaining. I could only remember one of their names but it was actually really fun. Lawler may have helped that.
Foley/Funk stuff in '98 was so awesome. Their dumpster match with NAO is the first match I ever watched.
