Crazy to think that we're just about a month away from King of the Ring 1998 now. It's wild to see Mick Foley doing this main event match with Steve Austin as Dude Love, knowing that in just one month he'll be back to Mankind & creating one of the most iconic matches in WWF/E history. It really just shows just how much can change in only a matter of weeks.

Wow that's really cool that Bradshaw pushed Tao forward into the path of Taka. I didn't pay attention to stuff like that when I was 13 watching this. Bradshaw really helped him out by doing that because if he missed it would have HURT a lot more than it already does hitting that move. If he didn't have Tao to break his fall he would have hit the guardrail. Gotta give Bradshaw credit for being a professional and good guy doing that.

I did manage to watch the WWF PPVs around this time. I didn’t view the companies as being in competition. WCW to me was where the wrestlers went to retire. Where as WWF was always number one. Head and shoulders above anything WCW was putting out at the time. I remember the ending of this PPV and couldn’t wait to hear what happened on Raw the next again night.
