YEAR IN REVIEW | The WWF in 1998 (Full Year Documentary) 

We now have the super thanks feature above to highlight your comments! Gimmie a Hell Yeah for the greatest year in WWF History 👊🏻💪🏻🤘🏻

1998 was the best year ever in wrestling period. I'll never forget that year and summer in particular. WWF ECW WCW all at their peak every week and Stone Cold Steve Austin was on top of the mountain more popular than everyone else his shirts could be seen everywhere from the Mall to school. Everyone wanted the nWo Red & Black Wolfpack shirts too. All the fans were happy it was so awesome and nobody chanted it once

- Austin wins the title for the 1st time - Rock wins the title for the 1st time - Goldberg wins the title for the 1st time - Goldberg's Streak Ends - Most infamous HIAC match and moment ever - 1st ever Inferno match - 1st ever Vince vs. Austin match - The Deadly Games Tournament - Kane's 1st World Title win - Infamous Zamboni moment - Shawn's Final match for 4 years - 1st Taker vs. Kane match - Hogan vs Goldberg - Birth of DX 2.0

1998 was the best part of the Monday Night War because it’s when both companies were producing fantastic content and trading victories as opposed to it being one-sided like before and after.

I literally started watching wrestling at 6 years old in 1998 and was absolutely mesmerized. Best year in wrestling history.

1997 was the beginning of a major shift in the wrestling business, clean cut babyfaces were out the window and heels were starting to get loud reactions from the fans resulting in lots of wrestlers becoming more edgier but 1998 was when everything exploded thus kicking the company's biggest period of all time. Stone Cold became the top guy and his feud with Vince McMahon drew massive ratings, The Undertaker and Kane story was captivating everyone, DX was running wild, every week on Raw was can't miss TV. One of the greatest years of all time and the best thing about all of it, things were just warming up...

Oh boy. What a year 1998 was in wrestling. It will NEVER be topped.

1998 for life

1998, the WWF was lit. I was 16. '98 was the last time I stopped flipping channels back and forth between Raw and Nitro. Never missed an episode of Raw from 1994-2002. Never missed Smackdown from 1999-2002. Now those were my preteen and teen years. Austin vs McMahon, DX vs The Nation, The Brawl 4 All, Taker and Kane's Night of Destruction, Kane's night of destruction, the Deadly Game tournament at that year's Survivor Series. I was there for all of it 💯

Ah 1998, the wrestling, the music, the video games, the nostalgia! :)

One of my all-time favourite years of wrestling period! The time when the WWF got so much better than WCW in the ratings of the Monday Night Wars.

This year, in my opinion, was the greatest star building year for WWF in wrestling history. Austin exploded in popularity, now being the top guy. Rock’s heel turn gave his character work a boost unlike anything anyone has seen before or ever since. Rock was world champion by the end of this year. The company found a new star in Kane, and his relationship with Undertaker helped make a landmark chapter in the Undertaker’s career and is one of the best long term storylines in wrestling creative history. Mankind took off as a main event enhancement talent, helping out over Austin, Taker, and eventually HHH as future HOF main eventers. HHH’s career was completely turned around with DX, with the group becoming influential to many groups after and has been referenced in pop culture to this day. The midcard was also fleshed out with Goldust, Val Venis, Ken Shamrock, D’Lo brown, Mark Henry, the brood, etc. it was truly a year of creating new stars.

I was waiting for this one. Great video Andy. Looking forward to the 1999 year in review. This was the Rock at his best

That HELL IN A CELL match.... I still remember it clearly.

1997 and 1998 were the best 2 years. If Bret had stayed, 1998 would be undisputed.

Still gives me goosebumps just watching the year in review! What a damn good year that was for any 12 year old like myself!!!!! When The Rock turned heel that was truly heartbreaking, but in the best way since it suited him. God every single match during that year was fun and had stakes to it. Even the video game was banging.

That ladder match at Summerslam 98 is still one of my all time favorite matches. It was the first time I watched a match where it would define two wrestlers' careers, given within a year, both of them would have won the title at least once.

1998 to 2004, Wrestling will NEVER be this popular anymore. Can't wait until you do WWF in 1999.

97-2001 was my FAVORITE time! 1998 was one of my years where I felt all four main pay per views were AMAZING!

My love of wrestling started with the 2000 video game WWF smackdown. It’s been wild to watch these videos to see how the old school WWF transformed into the one I fell in love with, and how my favourite character emerged.

Shawn Michaels getting injured in that casket match was such a flashpoint in history when it comes to the attitude era and the Monday night wars.

My favorite 2 years of wrestling are 1998-1999 followed by 2000-2001

1998 and 2000 both have strong cases for best year ever but I'll go with 1998 because the overall health of the business was better with WWF and WCW thriving.

The best year in WWE history! Austin/McMahon rivalry took over the company, beating WCW after 83 weeks, The Rock's people's and corporate gimmicks, DX invading WCW (while feuding with The Nation), Undertaker and Kane, Hell in A Cell, Mike Tyson, etc. This is the Attitude Era's best year.

My childhood !!! Royal rumble 98 was the first ppv my mom ordered. After that every month myself, my mom & sis would tune in to the new ppv. Miss those days !!

My favorite series on RU-vid. Happy Mother’s Day to me!

To me 1998 was the last of the best years. The WWF attitude era was undoubtedly the best time in wrestling history. Great video.

Yessss I was waiting so long! Thank you Andy for another great video!!!

1998 was Wrestling at it’s absolute PEAK! Steve Austin was Carrying WWE to unspeakable heights as the WWE Champion, WCW was starting to go into a downward spiral ever since the disaster that was Starrcade 1997, and ECW was wilding too.

Great videos. Great reviews. Looking forward to 1999 and 2000-2010.

Now I’m gonna bug u in the comments for 1999 😂😂😂 sorry bro these are good as hell

Well you just got a new subscriber! Really enjoy the entrance to remind us what else happened that year in the rest of the world.

As a 23yo fan then (watching for 12yrs straight), 1998 was the year I could once again admit to watching wrestling without snickery laughter. Best year for WWF. 1987 is a close second, with 1999, 1986 or 2000 for the top 5. The set was cool (new in 1997), the segments backstage were new...watching the Inferno match at a friend's house was a memory I cherish. And just listen to the Austin entrance pops get bigger and bigger and bigger from early to late 98...So much❤

My dad died in 1998 just shy of my 9th birthday, that same month I saw The Rock fell in love with professional wrestling and ever looked back ever since. 🥲

1998. What a time to be alive

Back when every belt felt and was important. We had rivalries over even the European Championship. People fought like they wanted the title like it was THE prize to have

Woooo 1998... Damn that was the year of ALL years!! Monday Night War, Hip Hop music, music overall period was Soooo on 🔥🔥🔥!! Man those memories were great!! PLUS that's when I graduated from H.S!! Cant get no better than this!!

Bro I’ve been waiting for this one!! Keep them coming!

Videos like this just make me more excited for a real jam up channel like Wrestling Bios to cover this period

Thank you for posting today, have a great day

Another great year in review 98 bloody brilliant these videos are thanks again m8 👍

Great video !! I been waiting for another one of these

This is the one I been waiting on !!!!!!

You yada yada’d the best match of all time with UT and Mankind

I believe Mike Tyson's role at Wrestlemania 14 was as the 'Special Enforcer' but parlayed into 'Special Guest Referee' somehow during the course of the match jobbing out Shawn with a quick count.

was looking foward this year in the review!!

Been waiting for this one

Great video, thanks!!

Yeaaaaaaa this what I’ve been waiting for thank you sir

I was checking your channel every hour for this one lol

Great video keep up the good work Andy

Great year to be a fan of Wrestling…

1998 was the best year in wrestling history. WWF, ECW and WCW were on track.

What a great series, keep up the good work.

Love These Documentaries.

Y’all see how Mick sold that stunner at 6:48? He made it look like he’s whole body shut down after it.

1998 or 2022 *Rated R Superstar Edge is still kicking* ❤️

Ima couple hours late.. Typical Sunday family things, but I'm here now. Hope all are good.

Bro need to do 1999 like next Sunday

Great video can't wait for you to do 99.

Oh man, like 1997-2003 was my wrestling watching phase and I still remember ALL these wrestlers your talking about and I gotta say I MISS IT. These videos you make have got me drowning in Nostalgia....I am 34 years old and I haven't watched a wrestling match in about 16-17 years. I wish there was some way that I could watch every Monday RAW, Thursday Night Smackdown, WCW Nitro and Thunder and PPV event from late 90's-early 2000's. I want to watch ALL those matches and play WWF RAW , WWF Warzone , WWF Wrestlemania and of course WCW/NWO Revenge! I haven't even thought of names like Saturn, Raven, Al Snow, X-PAC, Golddust, Scott Hall, Bret Hart, Mankind, Faarooq, Ken Shamrock, Dean Malenko, Jeff Jarrett, Vader, D-lo Brown, Owen Hart, The Patriot, Chris Benoit (whose burning in hell right now but was ssoo freaking entertaining to watch) Crash Holly, Val Venus, Chyna and the rivalries between DX and The Nation of Domination and Stone Cold vs. Mr. McMahon's storylines every Monday Night....Your videos are so well done and I remember every match you are reciting like I watched them yesterday! You do one helluva job with these videos my man!

My man!! I've been waiting for this one since you started this series!!

You have to do wcw year in reviews man these are 🔥 🔥

1998 was a real good year for wrestling I remember wrestlemaina 14 I was in the 5th and 6th grade that year also WCW had a great run also ecw...I miss that year so much thx for the upload the attitude Era was the best

These year in review videos have been amazing for me bc I can't ever remember *when* certain things happened. 1998 was the best year.

1998 was great. Along with 1999 and 2000. Best years.

I was only 3 years old in 1998 but I remember how great this year was. Jam packed!

I love these can’t wait for 1999

Always looking forward to your uploads. Would you consider doing like the 80s lol

1997 to 2001 was absolute insanity a era that will never be replicated.

Oh yeeeeeah!!! The year I was born. Alot things happened in wwe in March of that year and that's the month I was born in

Waiting for it

Been waiting for this one!!! 🔥🔥

1994 (a stand out year in the mid 90's slump), 97, 98 &99 arguably the best years for WWF in the 1990's.

ANOTHER BANGER!

Oh man how I miss 98-01. WWF at its peak 😭

In, 1997 Vince was planning his seeds for 98. He was able to build mega stars once again while WCW had his left overs.. lololol

Finally... thank you

Good video

1998 - 2001 were the best years of WWF man...

Waitin 4 this

The intro had to include Michael jordan ! 45 points in a close out game on the road

The best thing of 1998 was the rise of the og Diva SABLE

Probably the most important year in Wrestling history!! Led by Austin
