Published: Feb. 4, 2023, 5:52 p.m.

It is time for the 1st episode of our trip through WWF 1998. It\u2019s our first taste of this INFLUENTIAL YEAR as we step into the DELOREAN. Episode 1 of Season 3 is here and as per usual ACEFIELD RETRO returns with MIKE BELCASTER to chat about an ATTITUDE filled happening. A SEA OF SIGNS & GRUNGEY PRESENTATION WE ARE ARRIVING IN 1998!! We take on the first two RAWS of the year (1/5/98 & 1/12/98) AND also the 1998 ROYAL RUMBLE. What will be our opinion on the event? Will WWF start the year on a good note?? Everyone remembers the highlights of 1998 with STONE COLD and the emergence of the ROCK, SHAWN MICHAELS, DX etc but we get a real taste of the underbelly of the midcard during this year. A LOT of interesting happenings on these first two RAWS that build towards the ROYAL RUMBLE. Of course, we know that this will be STONE COLD'S crowning year as he enters a collision course with SHAWN MICHAELS at the show of shows in BOSTON, MA. SHAWN MICHAELS will take on UNDERTAKER in the CASKET MATCH that essentially ended his career for a while with him hurting his back. We also get some really good ROCK moments in his build and feuding with KEN SHAMROCK. As always, go to theturnbuckletavern.com for all your Tavern needs!
