[1998-11-16-WWF-Raw] Vince McMahon and Ken Shamrock
The funniest thing is that Vince doesn't think he's taking the piss here.

[1998-11-16-WWF-Raw] Road Warrior Hawk climbs the Titantron
They may as well have had a picture of Russo on the Titantron whilst this crap was going on. Ellering calls Hawk 'Mike' at one stage because this is a shoot. Tasteless in the extreme and quite dangerous with two guys climbing up there. Hawk then gets pushed off by the pusher (geddit?) and plunges to somewhere we can't see. About as believable as when Hulk pushed the Giant off the roof that time.

[1998-10-19-WWF-Raw] BANG 3:16
After a series of torture porn segments it all culminates in Vince wetting himself in the middle of that very ring. It takes one crazed, twisted mind to even think this stuff up, let alone do it. McMahon has absolutely no shame and would do practically anything if he thought it was good for business.

[1998-10-26-WWF-Raw] Steve Austin, Vince McMahon and Shane McMahon
Oh great, it's time for the McMahon Family Warzzz to begin. That would be a recurrent highlight for years on end. Shane's promo was so whiny and annoying I kept hoping Austin would stun him.

It's primarily the WWF main event scene that made the Yearbook. Here's a little reminder of why that is. Brutally bad Russo BS.

[1998-10-05-WWF-Raw] Vince McMahon in the hospital
Would it be utterly pedantic to point out that it was Yurple the Clown? She would also guest star in the highest rated segment in the history of television, bar none, ever. This was comedy gold with Foley and McMahon. Then Austin shows up and that bedpan sound effect was fantastic.

[1998-09-28-WCW-Nitro] Hulk Hogan vs Bret Hart
Okay so Hogan and Bret knew that by faking a leg injury it would guarantee that Sting would come out to help the Hitman. Not only that but they knew that Sting would feel compelled to take Bret's place in the match. They also knew that the referee would allow this ridiculous thing to happen. The nWO also knew that Bret would be accompanied back to the ambulance by Wolfpac members so they could be attacked. This attack could clearly not be carried out unless the nWO was disguised as orderlies, so they arranged that in advance. Back to the ring and I should point out that the wrestling here is actually real. The Bret vs Hogan match was actually fake because Bret was not injured at all and they were just pretending the whole time. Bret turns for the ? time (I've lost count). Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Obviously. Crap. WCW. WCW sure knows how to pull off a dream match.

[1998-09-28-WWF-Raw] The Undertaker & Kane vs Mankind & Ken Shamrock & The Rock (Handicap)
It sure didn't take a lot of effort to turn the Rock face. It didn't take him much time to shoot up the card either. Getting a clean win over the #2 guy in the company was a big moment towards making him a credible main eventer.

[1998-09-10-WCW-Thunder] Chris Jericho vs Wrath
The legend that is Ralphus makes his way to WCW, preceded by the stomach of Ralphus. I'd forgotten about the Jerichoholic Ninja, who wasn't necessary as Ralphus was totally in control.

[1998-09-14-Beyond the Mat] Michael Modest and Tony Jones WWF tryout
I loved Cornette telling the wrestlers that they're the ones in control and not to let the crowd control them. What a wonderful old school idea. Today's fans think that their role is to lay down the law and tell the wrestlers how to do their job. Tony Jones hasn't been taking his vitamins.
