Royal Rumble 1998

We’re back with another New to Wrestling pay-per-view deep dive—this time, we’re heading into the chaos that was Royal Rumble 1998! Kelsey is angry (rightfully so), Xavier is ready to defend Stone Cold’s Sharpay energy, and we’re both absolutely reeling from the main event madness.

💥 Match Card Includes:

•Vader vs. The Artist Formerly Known As Goldust (with Luna)

•Max Mini, Mosaic & Nova vs. Battalion, Tarantula & El Torito (Minis Tag Match)

•The Rock vs. Ken Shamrock – Intercontinental Championship

•Legion of Doom vs. New Age Outlaws – WWF Tag Team Championship

•The 30-Man Royal Rumble Match

•The Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels – WWF Championship Casket Match

We get betrayal, exploding feuds, full-on Nut Goozles™, and the legendary triple appearance from Mick Foley. The Rumble is pure chaos and we’re here to break it all down—tangents, thirst, and unfiltered feelings included.

👀 Was this the wildest Royal Rumble yet? Did Shawn really wrestle with a broken back? And why are Road Dogg’s braid extensions haunting Kelsey’s dreams?

Press play and we’ll see you there.
