On November 15th, 1998; Survivor Series 1998 took place in St. Louis, Missouri. It was five days after I turned 16. It was eight days after the Buckeyes lost to Michigan State in Columbus.
I was inspired to watch it due to the tournament that is upcoming for the Survivor Series in 2015; some 17 years later.
Bracket from Survivor Series 1998:
I like the amount of matches on the card with the 10, 15, and 20 minute time limits. Look at the talent rolled out in this tourney!
Austin, Rock, Foley, Undertaker, Kane, XPac, Shamrock, and prime-aged Vince McMahon who played a huge role in this event.
The Rock won his first Undisputed World Title in the main event of this PPV - a match between him and Mick Foley. The Rock slapped the sharpshooter on Foley and Vince McMahon rang the damn bell.
It won't go down as the greatest ever or anything like that; but because of the tournament structure and the star power, and the prominence of the Rock getting his first world title ever, it's a Pay Per View must see.
