Mankind vs The Rock 12/29/98 Dissected

[Wariowokecancel]

Thank you. Other than something I wrote when one of my buddies died this was one of the last great things that I ever wrote.
Forgot about it until recently so I try to get in here and bump it every so often so at least it gets seen by some people. I should probably try and post it other places as well.

Oh. What’s the block nowadays?

The demise of WCW existence?

Sad times when Mick Foley is your next world champion.

People who switched to WWE then never switched back .

This was a good time in pro wrestling. Looking back at the era and pretending to be a very old man I can truthfully tell the youngsters the WWF had quality matches available for free when they wanted to

Raw Title match 6/29/1998 - Austin /vs Kane
Heat Halftime Empty Arena match 1/31/1999 - Rock /vs Mankind
Raw Ladder match 2/15/1999 - Rock /vs Mankind
Smackdown Lumberjack match 4/20/2000 - Rock /vs Jericho

The 5/10/99 episode of Raw. The entire episode (not just a segment) did an 8.1

It's so weird that this is such a big moment and I have no recollection of watching it live. Almost everything else that was a major moment from that era I remember.

I didn't get to see it live because I was at Nitro instead to see the Fingerpoke.

Bump. I was afraid I lost this as I haven't logged on in a long time but I see they've made changes and I remember a lot of stuff getting lost the last time they changed systems. I guess I need to back this up! I remember putting a whole night into this.

Thank you! I spent time on it, and I was afraid it would just be skipped over as TLDR

You did good here, your breakdown really brought back memories. This was peak wrestling for me, I miss it lol.

Edit- just realized I'm responding to a 7 year old post lol

Oh no problem man thank you for responding. I had recently bumped it. I was just glad to see that it was still here so I can get it copied to my hard drive. I spent like 4 hours One Night in a hotel room writing this and thought it was pretty good so want to make sure I keep it.

But yes. You hit the nail on the head. This was the peak!

I don't know if I'm blocked... I just have a very physical job and spend a lot less time on an actual computer and as you may know as a writer you really need that keyboard to do work. And a subject. Been lacking that too.
