5 Best WWE Matches Of 1998
1998 was the beginning of the Attitude Era and the biggest turning point in WWE history. Don’t be mistaken – 1998 wasn’t the year where WWE began non-PG content, but it was the year where they fully transitioned into it. The most important milestone of 1998 was the coronation of ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin at WrestleMania 14, where he became WWF Champion and the face of WWE.
It had taken a long time for WWF to find a superstar with the popularity and drawing ability of Hulk Hogan, but Austin’s rise to the top and the transition into the Attitude Era went hand-in-hand. It was the beginning of another massive boom period for WWE – one that would see them make more money than any point in history in the past.
There were quite a few great matches too and the chaos of the Attitude Era saw WWE programming become more refreshing than ever. Here are the five best matches from 1998.

WWE Confirms Travel Issues From Saudi Arabia; Teases urprisesFor SmackDown
WWE Confirms Travel Issues From Saudi Arabia; Teases ‘Surprises’ For SmackDown
WWE has confirmed that the majority of their roster won’t be making it to Buffalo after their plane out of Saudi Arabia hit travel issues after Crown Jewel.
More than 175 Superstars, production crew and employees boarded a 747 charter flight back to the United States on Thursday. After the door closed, due to several aircraft problems including mechanical issues, all passengers sat on the tarmac for more than six hours. With SmackDown set to emanate live from Buffalo, N.Y., several Superstars felt so strongly that they arranged for their own separate charter in order to make it back to the U.S. for the show. Due to unforeseen issues, that charter will not land until after the live broadcast on FOX.
WWE has removed their previous preview for the show, which featured Bray Wyatt on Miz TV and other segments. As of now, they’re advertising Daniel Bryan, The Miz, Carmella, Nikki Cross, and Dana Brooke for t..
Joey Mercury Calls Out ROH GM Greg Gilliland Over Talent Issues; ROH Declines Comment
Joey Mercury Calls Out ROH GM Greg Gilliland Over Talent Issues; ROH Declines Comment
Joey Mercury is taking to social media to voice his displeasure with his former employer.
Last night, PWInsider reported Mercury and Ring Of Honor mutually agreed to part ways. Since that story broke, Mercury has had quite a bit to say about ROH General Manager Greg Gilliland regarding his handling of talent in his tenure.
Mercury shared his correspondence with Gilliand over several Tweets including screenshots of past text conversations, taking the ROH GM to task on several issues. Some of the things Mercury has brought up include:
Management allowing Kelly Klein to work in South Africa despite having a concussion.
Their lack of care and slow response to Jay Lethal breaking his arm (as well as a Jeff Cobb injury).
Alex Shelley working as an athletic trainer (including helping Flip Gordon reset his elbow).
Not re-signing Shane Taylor.
Having zero concussion protocol.
Severe lack of security at ..
Io Shirai Makes A Pitch To Participate In The First Ever Women WarGames Match
Io Shirai Makes A Pitch To Participate In The First Ever Women’s WarGames Match
It was announced this past Wednesday by William Regal that the first ever Women’s WarGames Match would take place at the next NXT TakeOver and one of the division’s most diabolical competitors wants a spot in the hellish match. Io Shirai just made a pitch to be one of the participants, citing that she’s annoyed by Candice LeRae and Rhea Ripley.
“Candice, Rhea, everyone is annoying me. That’s when William Regal announces the Wargames at Next NXT TakeOver! Did you hear that!? If I get a shot at women’s first ever Wargames, Ms. Io Shirai will survive and leave deep scars in the match! Don’t take your eyes off me!”
Shirai defeated Candice LeRae on this week’s NXT via a well-placed steel chair that gave “The Genius Of The Sky” an undeserving 1-2-3. One of the WarGames captains, Rhea Ripley, rolled in the ring to make the save. If such an encounter indicates anything, we may very well see Io get her wish.

Majority Of WWE Talent Stuck In Saudi Arabia After Crown Jewel, SmackDown Facing Issues
Dave Meltzer is reporting that as of about 5:00 AM EST, most of the stars that went to Saudi Arabia for WWE Crown Jewel have been unable to leave the country and there is time ticking as when it could be feasible for said talent to make it back to Buffalo, NY in time for Friday Night SmackDown.
According to Meltzer, about 12 wrestlers made it out of the country and the reasons as to why there is such a major delay are currently unknown. The trip from Saudi Arabia is a 14-hour trip so for talent and crew to make it back to Buffalo in time is just about closed as of this writing. The impression Meltzer got from his report was that talent were asked to leave the plane after boarding and that it would be awhile until they would be able to take flight. Meltzer also states that he was under the impression that talent would not make it out in time and them leaving the plane wasn’t in relation to any m..
