I found a copy of Survivor Series 98 the other day... brings back so many memories. Then again, I pretty much have the entire event burnt to my brain :-P
And I remembered something that was so awesome about the attitude era... remember how they'd air pre-taped segments of the wrestlers and air them during commercials? They'd show the Rock on top of a building rambling on, or Triple H backstage in a quiet arena talking to himself, or Undertaker and Kane in the boiler room arguing, or Austin in an underground mine bad mouthing, or Al Snow sitting on the floor scolding Head. They'd also have the wrestler's theme music playing in the background.
And these were INTENSE segments that helped GREATLY to build up feuds.
Anyone remember?

Yeah I liked these because they were able to nail the promos. Some of these guys just can't handle a good promo live so it would do them good to polish up this way. Seems like they do this differently now.

Only one old school move that I was missed at WWE/WWF was PILEDRIVER!

1998 = Old School Wrestling? Welll, for younger people who started watching in the Attitude Era, yes.

I miss everything about old school wrestling. Thank God wwe at least has the decency to release dvds of classic footage for those of us who hate what they're putting on today.
