WWF Over the Edge '98

Can Austin retain the WWF title against Dude Love? Or will McMahon and his henchmen use diabolical means to screw him? What happens with Sable? Will Faarooq capture the Intercontinental title? How will DX fare? Are you ready for a bumpy ride?

Match 1: The Road Warriors (w/ Sunny & Puke) versus Disciples of Apocalypse (w/ Chainz)

All six wrestlers including Chainz and Puke brawled to begin the match.
When Animal fed him a flying shoulder block, Skull responded with a swinging neckbreaker.

Although Hawk was dominating 8-Ball, Skull clotheslined him from the apron. SNEAKY!

Jumping onto the apron, Chainz distracted Animal.
That allowed Skull to illegally switch with 8-Ball.
Behind Korderas’ back, Puke nailed Skull from the apron.
Animal powerslammed and pinned Skull at 9:57.

Summary: With both the tag formula and the Milwaukee faithful’s response, the match flowed well and was a decent opener. Nice storyline progression from the previously used DoA switcheroo.

The Rock, carrying the Intercontinental belt, saunters to the ring to a “Rocky sucks” chant. Upon grabbing the microphone, Rock runs down the Milwaukee faithful. Faarooq storms the ring, beats up Rock, grabs a chair, but Rock stops him.

As Rock grabs the chair, he tries to decapitate Faarooq, but the chair bounces back into his face knocking him sill(ier?). Faarooq piledrives Rock on the chair (supposedly, ‘cuz he missed by a few miles), The NoD rushes the ring, but Faarooq cuts them off at the pass before hightailing it. The NoD screams for medical assistance, and they place a collar on the Rock’s neck. While the Rock gets loaded on a gurney, NoD walks alongside him. What you’re telling me is that, for Faarooq to have a chance to win the IC title, he must beat an already-injured Rock.

Backstage, Michael Cole interviews Austin who calls him a “silly bastard.” Nonetheless, Austin cuts a very confident promo and kicks Cole out of the locker room.

Match 2: “Double J” Jeff Jarrett (w/ Tennessee Lee) versus Steve Blackman

1-2-3.

Summary: The psychology was evident, but there were too many strikeouts causing the Milwaukee faithful to daydream about Summerfest. Also, Blackman’s loss appeared to be a subliminal gesture to WCW to end Goldberg’s streak.

During Mero’s entrance, JR subtly dissed Mero’s previous gimmick—Johnny B. Badd.

Mero questioned Sable’s motive, so Sable explains that she doesn’t need someone else to fight her battles and will take care of herself.

When Mero told her that Sable could have her freedom, he asked for the bell.

Match 5 for the WWF Intercontinental title: The Rock (champion w/ the Nation of Domination) versus Faarooq

When Rock didn’t make his entrance after two introductions, Commissioner Slaughter approached the ring.
Slaughter grabbed a microphone and announced that if Rock didn’t appear within ten seconds, he’d award the title to Faarooq.
As Slaughter counted down to 2, Rock emerged wearing a neck collar.

After the match, an extremely frustrated Faarooq PLANTS Rock with two piledrivers before the NoD quadruple-teams him. Suddenly, DX storms the ring to fight off the NoD to a raucous ovation. A pier-six brawl erupts, and DX stands tall. If I was Faarooq, I’d learn a memorable catchphrase or two to remain relevant.

Loser of this match must unmask.

Tombstoning Vader, Kane pinned him at 7:21.

Summary: Pedestrian big-man match where each wrestler went through his repertoire, but Kane came out on top. The Milwaukee faithful got behind Vader to a degree, but Kane’s getting the push.

After the match, Kane removes Vader’s mask which isn’t much of a stipulation because we’ve seen Vader maskless before. Bearer mocks Vader wearing the mask before exiting. As Vader makes his exit, Michael Cole interviews him. A frustrated Vader calls himself a “big piece of shit, a fat piece of shit.”

In the ring, Cole introduces Maurice “Mad Dog” Vachon and the Crusher to a big ovation. Unfortunately, Lawler has the gall to not recognize them. ASSHOLE! Cole hands Vachon a plaque, and Vachon offers his appreciation. Next, the Crusher receives a plaque and sings “Roll Out the Barrel.” Lawler steps into the ring to protest, tells poor jokes, and makes fun of Vachon and Crusher.

After Lawler tries to reveal Vachon’s prosthetic leg, Crusher bashes him with the plaque. HA! He nails Lawler with a Bolo punch causing Lawler to cease and desist, and the Milwaukee faithful eats it up with a spoon. When Lawler returns, he removes his jacket as well as Vachon’s prosthetic. Notorious!

Crusher also removes his shirt and belts Lawler with another Bolo punch. In an act of cowardice, Lawler swings the prosthetic wildly toward and at Crusher before leaving in disgust. He tries a sneak attack, but Crusher destroys Lawler with a prosthetic leg shot. This was NOT the way to honor these legends.

Prior to the next match, DX does its usual pre-match spiel to great response. Road Dog’s introduction is getting over.

Backstage, Dok Hendrix interviews Mr. McMahon along with Brisco and Patterson. McMahon dictates that if Austin “assaults” him, he will stop the match, strip him of the WWF title, and award it to Dude. Ultimately, the match can only end “by (his) hand only.”

After the match, Austin and Undertaker stare each other down before Undertaker exits and Austin celebrates with the Milwaukee faithful.

Conclusion: Seriously, there was only one match that everyone cared about, and it delivered in spades. If you’ve never seen the main event, you MUST watch it ASAP. If you’ve not seen it recently, seek it out STAT. Don’t hesitate!

On the other hand, the midcard was dreadful. Skip it at all costs and prepare yourself for the next chapter in the Monday Night War.
