The Highway To Hell.... Ends At The Garden.
This is one of my top favorite wrestling videos and an event that I believe any wrestling fan should own. It is very rare to see an event with so much hyped and not only is the main event awesome but the undercard was solid.
European Champion D'Lo Brown vs Val Venis. The first surprise of the night. This was a very solid opening contest that gave the fans the first taste of great wrestling. D'Lo was a little underrated and worked hard at this time and Venis was solid here. The ending is very weak but the match overall is very good.
The Oddities vs Kaientai. This was a fun but not a great match. It is funny to see the little guys against the huge giants. Again, not a wrestling classic but a lot of fun to watch and very entertaining.
Hair vs Hair: X-Pac vs Jeff Jarrett. The loser would get his head shaved. The storyline was worked out great to put over X-Pac. Jarrett was another underrated wrestler and these two gave the fans a great back and forth contest with a justified ending.
Edge & Sable vs Marc Mero & Jacqueline. Edge was just starting out during this era and he was not bad here. In fact, the match was actually good considering that it did not drag or felt like a waste of time. Good work by everyone involved.
Lions Den Match: Ken Shamrock vs Owen Hart. This was the WWF giving Shamrock a match that resembled a UFC fight. Anyways, these two always deliver a good match and this one is no exception as we see some nice grappling and even moves of the cage.
Tag Team Champions Mankind & Kane vs The New Age Outlaws in a Falls Count Anywhere, No Holds Barred Match. Kane decided to no-show, so it was a handicap match for the tag titles. Anyways, this one is watchable as it features some good hardcore action and Foley taking his usual bumps to put over the Outlaws.
Intercontinental Champion The Rock vs Triple H in a Ladder Match. This was the match that stole the show at this event and began a true launching pad in both men's careers. Rock shows how great he is as a heel and Triple H showed his heart to be a champion. Hard hitting ladder moves, few weapons (a chair) and a little interference and you have a forgotten classic. One of the best ladder matches that have been put out in WWF.
WWF Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin vs The Undertaker. This was the main reason that this event was hyped and anticipated for months. The
Highway
to
Hell
was one of the best build-ups that I have ever seen in professional wrestling. As far as the match is concerned, this match was awesome. I would rank this match as the best singles match that Austin and Taker had with no added stipulations. The ending showed a gracious loser but as well as the beginning of an awesome rivalry. Great performance by all of the wrestlers to make this event one of the best in
1998

This event had bad blood written all over it.We all know what happened at this event,but I'll tell ya anyway.
It started with Max Mini and Spike Dudley taking on King Kong Bundy and Yokozuna. Spike and Max got flattened from the start of the match.Spike was renamed,Mr.pancake and Max was killed and reincarnated as Mikey Whipwreck.
The U.S title was next.Chris Beniot defended it against Kamala in a 2 out of 3 falls match.Benoit got fall 1 and Kamala got fall 2, but in the end,Benoit won by DQ because Kamala was really Spider-man in disguise.Also,because Benoit went blind in the match,he was stripped of the U.S belt and it was rewarded to Brother Love.
Then, Giant Gonzalez took on Road Dogg in a"lozer eats his shoes" match.After the pumphandle,Road Dogg seemed to had the victory,but then was tackled by a yak,and then out of nowhere,RVD came and pinned Gonzales for the win and won ownership of Venus, where Van Dam was named,"king of the pirates".
After that was the handicap tag title match.L.O.D took on the Steiners and The Grand Wizard,and the whole match took place on Mt. Everist.The Wizard won the belts by himself when he pushed both teams off Everist(which was the stipulation).However,he lost the belts 24 hours later when Wizard quit the buisness to be a candle maker with a empire that spread throughout america.
Then,there was a dance contest between Nathan Jones,Carlito,and Eugene for the Intercontinental belt.Eugene won after he brokedance his opponents into submission.In fact,Carlito is now recouperating at Atlantis.
The next match was a 6-pac challenge for the Cruiserweight championship.It was Ultimo Dragon v. Matt Hardy v. Billy Kidman v. Zach Gowan v. Paul London v. Rey Mysterio. In a strange turn of events that will never be explained,PaRappa the Rapper became the new cruiserweight champion when he pinned Spongebob Squarepants,which made his fellow nWo Wolfpac members proud.PaRappa would then be shocked to discover that Zach Gowan was his long lost brother.
Up next was the long awaited Double trouble match.Kevin Nash,Scott Hall, and Owen Hart took on Diesil,Razor Ramon,and the Blue Blazer inside the
Hell
in a cell.People were flying off the cell,dropped through the cell,and even electricuted.Nash would eventually pin Diesil but since Diesil was also known as Kevin Nash,they both lost and the match was a No Contest.
Now,for the main event.A tag match for the WWE title.Stone Cold, The Rock,AJ Styles,and Sean O'Haire, v. Goldberg, Randy Orton, Derek Jeter,and Doink the Clown v. The n.W.o.(Hollywood Hogan,Shawn Michaels,Abyss,and Tajiri)along with their manager,Bananaman!,and Earthquake and The Undertaker were special guest referes.Team Stone Cold would win the tag match and then the team battled each other for the title.In the end,for some strange reason,Batista was declared the new WWE champion even though he was not in the match.Then we found out it was because he beat Lex Luger on Velocity last night,and that was another stipulation to win the title.
Well,that does it for me.Smell ya later.
Update: This was a joke review obviously. I'm keeping this up just for LOLs
