It sure did have its moments with some strong matches in the lead up to the Royal rumble memorable moments including Luna on invaders back from the top rope. Kane putting undertake her into the casket and setting on fire. The three appearances of Foley mankind Cactus Jack and dude love all appearing in the same rumble with chainsaw Charlie all positives. Negative was it felt like the whole event was focused around stone cold Steve Austin therefore seem to lack the storytelling and the number of stories normally in the rumble. There was a championship match following the Rumble event I am never really a fan of this. It's called the Royal rumble therefore to me should be the main events of the evening, following a strong in your house events in December felt like it should lead into a stronger rumble. The roster Seemed very light with a number of athletes appearing earlier in the night and again in the rumble.

A lack of storytelling told you who was winning tonight before the rumble begins

The Beginning of The Attitude Era
zkonedog9 March 2019
Warning: Spoilers
When someone talks about the "Attitude Era" of the WWE, this is the event I usually point to to show it really coming together. Though not a great card in its own right, it's a very positive sign that the WWE's floor at the moment is a 6/10 star event (considering a year or two previous they were putting out some of the worst content in their history).
A few thoughts/observations on the '98 Rumble:
-The best single match on the card is probably The Rock vs. Ken Shamrock. Rock's vocal skills are being highlighted (finally), while Shamrock's intensity is fun in a goofy sort of way.
-Legion of Doom vs. New Age Outlaws is actually a decent tag match (this coming from an individual who usually is not "into" tag matches much at all).
-Unfortunately, the Rumble itself isn't all that great. Very top-heavy and then filled with a bunch of jobbers. Having Stone Cold win it the second year in a row also feels a bit anticlimactic, but it was fun to see him briefly lock up with The Rock at the end (that pairing would becoming iconic in little time). Mick Foley's three personalities (Cactus Jack, Mankind, Dude Love) all entering at different times was hilarious too.
-The finale, Shawn Michaels vs. Undertaker, is a bit of a letdown match-wise but somewhat redeemed by the Undertaker/Kane angle. Much like Hart/Undertaker a few events ago was more of a "push" for Michaels, this match's main purposes seems to be the push for the "brotherly rivalry". The casket on fire is a great, memorable image in WWE history.
Overall, the '98 Rumble isn't the greatest of PPVs, but it is entertaining enough to be watchable. The Attitude Era is off and running!

Cold Stone on the Rise. Attitude Era Baby!

Royal Rumble 1998 was the 11th annual Royal Rumble event produced by the WWF. It took place on January 18, 1998 at the San Jose Arena in San Jose, California. Attendence was at 18,542 with a great buyrate of 300,000. This was the first ever Royal Rumble of the Attitude Era and the beginning of the path of Stone Cold's rise to the top. The WWF was on a huge change of style which eventually put them back around the corner in ratings against competitor WCW.
6 matches were on the card with the two most advertised and build up matches being the Royal Rumble and WWF Championship match between Shawn Michaels and the Undertaker. Rock also battled Ken Shamrock for the IC belt and we got a WWF tag team title match between the LOD and New Age Outlaws.
The Good - Main event between HBK and Undertaker was pretty good. It's obviously not the best the 2 performers have ever put up (*wink*wink*) but it was a good closure to the show. The ending of Kane interfering could be questioned but it didn't ruined anything and it protected both stars of needing to head to WrestleMania sharpe. The Royal Rumble was also good. The WWF were rising up the talent and it was clearly seen here. Stone Cold was getting hot in the storyline of everyone trying to take him out. The Rock and Mick Foley also were incredible stars of the Rumble.
The Meh - The midget tag team match was fun for a filler but it was pretty obvious of it being a filler for thin roster. After all 30 stars were needed for the Rumble. I kind of question the ending of the IC title match. However, okay way to continue the rivalry between the stars.
The Bad - The tag team championship match was boring with a complete idiotic finish. It's unfortunate that the Legion of Doom were just about to run their course and the New Age Outlaws carried them. Goldust vs. Vader was also snoozed fest. Vader didn't deserve to be booked like how he was in the WWF at this time.
Overall - 1998 was no doubt an awesome year. However this wasn't quite the good start but show had its moments like Mike Tyson botch Austin's name, Foley's different characters, and Austin himself winning. Rumble winner also being too predictable was also a big negative. Not a great PPV like WrestleMania 14 and SummerSlam would be but not bad.
Score - 6 out of 10: Decent
0 = Terrible : 1 = Bad/Lackluster : 2 = Decent : 3 = Good : 4 = Awesome : 5 = One of the Best of all Time :
1. Goldust vs. Vader - 1.5/5

1998 was a new year in the WWE and they wasted no time setting their agenda for th next twelve months with Vince McMahon announcing that Stone Cold Steve Austin, ruffian that he was, would not make a responsible champion for the WWE and that he would be a marked man in the Royal Rumble match.
In other matters Ken Shamrock, after getting screwed out of the WWE Championship at In Your House: D-Generation X was now setting his sights on The Rock's Intercontinental belt, while the WWE Champion Shawn Michaels was going to have his own problems taking on the Undertaker in a casket match.
The night started off though with a throwaway opener which saw Vader defeat Goldust despite the interference of Luna Vachon. Vader delivered the Vader bomb on Goldust, prompting Luna to jump on his back. Vader simply threw her off and pinned Goldust.
Next match saw much hollering at the start as Sunny came to the ring in a referee's shirt to officiate the six man midget tag match won by the team of Max Mini, Nova and Mosaic over Battalion, Tarantula and El Torito. Like most midget matches this one was quick and repetitive, so it loses more appeal as it goes along. Average overall.
The next match saw Ken Shamrock defeat the Rock after the Rock had knocked him out with some brass knucks. Unfortunately for Shamrock the Rock had hidden the knucks in his trunks. The referee found the knucks and disqualified Shamrock meaning the Rock got the win and kept the intercontinental Championship. This was a fun little match. Shamrock was not a terrible wrestler, but never quite seemed to fully adjust from MMA.
Next up came a pretty bad tag match with WWE Tag team CHampions The New Age Outlaws (The bad Ass Billy Gunn and the Road Dogg Jesse James) putting their belts on the line against the Legion of Doom (Hawk and Animal) Hawk was handcuffed to the outside of the ring by the Outlaws., but the Animal was able to powerbomb Gunn and looked likely to get the win before his pin attempt was broken up by a chair shot from Road Dogg. The Outlaws retained their titles but didn't have much to be proud of. Even though this was bad match, it did a nice job of telling a story and got you to actually want to see someone beat the Outlaws for those damned belts.
Next came the Royal Rumble match. The Rock came in at 4 and lasted the longest. Along with his faction the Nation of Domination led by Farooq, Rock dominated the Rumble until Steve Austin came to the ring as entrant 24. Still though the final four saw Nation team mates Farooq and the Rock remaining with Steve Austin and Dude Love. Dude Love was actually the third character Foley had appeared as in this Rumble match. He had started the rumble against Chainsaw Charlie as Cactus Jack before being eliminated and returning as Mankind, which again saw him eliminated. Dude Love quickly made his exit then it was Farooq and the Rock pounding on Austin, until that is The Rock turned on Farooq and eliminated his leader. Austin then took control, hitting the stone cold stunner and throwing the Rock over the top rope to win the match and a title shot at Wrestlemania. His final tally was 7 eliminations. His victory sparked the first of many occasions that JR screamed out "Stone Cold!!! Stone Cold!!!" on commentary. Watching on approvingly from a corporate box was former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson, apparently a Stone Cold fan.
This brings us to the main event, a casket match for the WWE Championship with Shawn Michaels defeating the Undertaker following interference first from hi D-Geberation X cronies and then from his brother Kane. Kane was not stopping there though. He locked Undertaker into the casket and then wheeled it up the ramp, poured some gasoline on top and set it on fire. The Tomb was then opened revealing only ashes on the bottom. Undertaker's voice came over the titantron and said he would never "rest in peace." This had been a good match, but had lasting repercussions. In what looked like an innocuous incident, Michaels had hit the middle of his back on top of the coffin after being thrown over the top rope. The blow actually was a serious one and just months later forced his retirement from professional wrestling.
So there you go. 1998 Royal Rumble, like many PPvs of the next two years did nothing special in the ring, but the show told a story, the two big matches were good enough and it is well worth a look more than a decade later.

I Thought the 1998 RR was a good event, Vader V Goldust was an OK match to open the show. Max Mini Mosaic and Nova V Batallion, Tarantula and El Torito was a fun match. Sunny played a nice role as the referee, i hadn't seen her much before but she looked hot. The Rock V Ken Shamrock was a good match, Rocky continued to impress and rise to the ranks, (my favourite Wrestler too). NAO V Road Warriors was a cool match too, DX Rule, and no doubt NAO were the best tag team in the WWE back then. The Royal Rumble itself was intense and excellent, Rocky did well and lasted to the end before being eliminated by Steve Austin who won the Rumble. HBK V Undertaker was match of the night and put on a great casket match. Shame HBK retired for 4 years shortly after. Also the ending was amazing and one not to be missed, Overall a Decent Show, ill give it an 8 out of 10.
This Royal Rumble has it all
Terryfan25 May 2015
Warning: Spoilers
1998 is one of the best years in all of Pro Wrestling and in the World Wrestling Federation it was a excellent year all together.
Now this being the first Pay Per View of the WWF it could have done more but still the two final matches of the night were worth the wait.
This Royal Rumble feature a lot of memories such as the rise of a future hall of famer and the shocking betrayal
Match 1: The Artist Formerly Known as Goldust vs Vader. Now this was the opening match and it wasn't something you should call home about but when you see Vader hit the Vader bomb with Luna on his back that's worth a watch.
Rating: 6 out of 10
Match 2: Max Mini, Mosaic, Nova vs Battalion, El Torito and Tarantula with Sunny as special guest referee. Now to be honest the only reason to watch this match was to see Sunny in her referee out fit because these guys were not sign with the WWF and not to judge them but this match was just for show and didn't anything for me my only guess is they wanted to give a excuse to have Sunny out as Referee
Rating: 4 out of 10
Match 3: Ken Shamrock vs The Rock for the WWF Intercontinental Championship. Now these two were long time rivals and they normally had some good matches together and this one was no different plus you have to see the surprise double cross in this match as they work a good match.
Rating: 7 out of 10
Match 4: The Legion Of Doom (Hawk and Animal) Vs The New Age Outlaws (Road Dogg and Billy Gunn) for the WWF Tag Team Championship I had hope for a match with two of the best tag teams in wrestling history however this match wasn't what I had open for because it was too short and didn't have much time to work out as they also handcuff Hawk to the ropes so it pretty much was a let down
Rating: 6 out of 10
Match 5: The 1998 Royal Rumble. Now this is one of the best royal rumble matches in history for a lot of reasons one being that Mick Foley came out as Cactus Jack, Mankind and Dude Love in this match alone but at different times of course during the match. The match feature The Rock, Owen Hart, Ken Shamrock, Ahmed Johnson, Vader, The Headbangers, DOA, D'Lo Brown, Stone Cold Steve Austin and more. When it was time for Stone Cold to come to the ring who was marked from the start having attack all the guys to be in the Royal Rumble he came through the crowd after every one stop fighting to wait for him to come to the ring and when Austin enters the ring it was game on and Stone Cold Steve Austin was driven as you will see in this match and when the final four takes place you will be in for a treat
Rating: 9 out of 10
Match 6: Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker Casket Match for the World Wrestling Federation Championship. Now this feud has been going on since the 1997 Summerslam as Shawn cost the Undertaker the championship so this would be the match that would be following up their Hell in a cell match. Both men pull of some good spots and high spots for this match as you see some heavy hitting moves as they were giving their all for this match and sadly this was the match that sideline Shawn but overall they worked a good main event and when you see the climax of this match you'll be in awe.
Rating: 9 out of 10
Overall this Rumble feature the rise of legends and showcase some good main events it just some of the show could have been better but this is the Attitude Era where it was at the highest time to be a fan of wrestling

Dudley Boyz12 January 2001
This was the most graetest Pay Per View I have ever seen live.Yes i was their at the San Jose Arena.The first match was great Vader Vader Bombed Goldust with Luna on top of Vader.The Casket match between Sean Michaels and The Undertaker was great.When The Undertaker was in the Casket and Sean was standing on top of it Undertaker stuck his hand up and grabed Sean Michaels jewels,and when Stone Cold one the Royal Rumble it was best thing ever.

Royal Rumble is a great event in the WWF, and in 1998 it was better than ever. This time, Stone Cold Steve Austin defied the odds and won the coveted Royal Rumble to face Shawn Michaels in his final match 2 months later. Mike Tyson also makes a funny cameo as himself (which leads up to him at Wrestlemania XIV). Entertaining and satisfying, with the Rock as Rocky Maivia. A+
