WWF Shotgun Saturday Night (January 11, 1997)

I’m going to guess that because I watched an episode of Los Super Astros the other day this popped up in my YouTube recommendations. I figured “Why not?” and so here are words about the second episode of WWF Shotgun Saturday Night. This is from when the show was still a live late night broadcast primarily for the New York market.

WWF Raw Is War (December 28, 1998)

Since I already reviewed the December 21, 1998 episode of Raw prior to starting this 1998 deep dive we’re moving on the December 28th episode. It might have taken three months longer than I had originally intended but this is the final episode of this project so let’s get to it.

WWF Raw Is War (December 14, 1998)

I’ve got two more of these fucking 1998 Raws left to review so let’s get on with it. This is the December 14, 1998 episode and it’s the Raw after Rock Bottom so let’s see what kind of fall out from that certainly all time great show we get on this here show…

WWF Raw Is War (November 30, 1998)

Well, it’s 2022 now and I didn’t quite finish rewatching Raw ’98 in its entirety like I planned to last year. I ended up, through no fault of my own, falling about a month behind but I’m not about to abandon the project now. So today we’re pressing on with the November 30, 1998 episode of Raw is War.

WWF Raw Is War (November 23, 1998)

So last week’s episode of Raw Is War from the year 1998 sucked so much ass and the week before that wasn’t so great either. Will this week’s episode be any better? I doubt it but I’ve committed to getting through all the Raws from 1998 so let’s just get on with it.

WWF Raw Is War (November 16, 1998)

I’m getting really burned out on this ’98 WWF deep dive but we’re coming down the home stretch so I’m going to try and just muscle through. This is the Raw after Survivor Series and we’ve got a new champion in The Rock which might help liven things up a bit. Who knows?

WWF Raw Is War (November 9, 1998)

I’m going to be honest with you folks, I’m getting real sick and tired of the Attitude Era. I want like a single goddamn match that ends with someone just pinning someone else or maybe making them tap out. Heck, a knockout would be perfectly fine. These past few episodes have been most of Vince Russo’s worst booking tendencies (there’s been surprisingly little outright sexism in the last few episodes thankfully but all the others are in full effect) and honestly it’s becoming a bit of a chore to get through. His style of booking has caused me to not give a shit about pretty much anyone except Mankind, The Rock, and Stone Cold Steve Austin since everyone either has to cheat to win or ends up getting repeatedly murdered by Kane week after week. It’s very repetitive and very boring. Thankfully I’ve got seven episodes left including this one (I reviewed one of the December ’98 episodes already and won’t be watching it again) so I might as well just wrap this nonsense up. Let’s take a look at the November 9, 1998 episode of Raw Is War…

WWF Raw Is War (November 2, 1998)

I’ve not been a fan of the past two episodes of Raw for vastly different reasons but we’re coming down the home stretch with stupid 1998 rewatch project so I’m going to muscle through. This week we’re going to take a look at the November 2, 1998 episode of Raw and see what’s going on with the McMahons and maybe also get a wrestling match or two.

WWF Raw Is War (October 26, 1998)

Last week’s Raw had a huge overarching angle that dominated the bulk of the show and saw Stone Cold take Vince McMahon hostage, torture him, and then threaten to shoot him in the head in the middle of a wrestling ring. It was not a thing I was a fan of back in the day and 23 years after the fact it hadn’t gotten any better. So will this week be more of the same or will we get two hours of hot in-ring action? Probably not the latter since the only thing announced in advance for this episode was the fact that Motley Crue would be showing up. Oh goody…

WWF Raw Is War (October 19, 1998)

We’re one day removed from Judgement Day 1998, a largely inconsequential show that I did not watch. Probably the only major thing of note to happen (other than Christian defeating Taka Michinoku to become Light Heavyweight Champion of course) was Austin doing exactly what he said he would and only raising his own hand at the end of the main event and Vince McMahon doing exactly what he said he would do should Austin not declare a new WWF Champion and firing Stone Cold’s ass right then and there. And it is on that note that we head to Milwaukee, Wisconsin for the October 19, 1998 episode of Raw Is War.
