VHS Movie Reviews of WWE Survivor Series 1998 - Deadly Games [VHS]

Movie Review: Nice to see a title tournament again but not all that nice
Summary: 3 Stars

Survivor Series '98 brought back the 16 man WWE championship tournament to crown a new WWE champion. The tournament had it highs and it definitely had it lows. McMahon would start off the show to announce there will be a new WWE champion and he also introduces Mankind's mystery opponent which many of the fans where chanting HBK before hand.

First Round Matches
1. Mankind vs. Dwayne Gill (Gillberg)
If this match had any good to it, then it would be where Gill got scared by his pyro which was some/what funny. Match ends under a minute. 0.5/5

2. Jeff Jarrett w/ Debra vs. Al Snow
Much better than the first match. The King was all for Tennessee in this one. The match had some good reversals and some nice moves. Debra would try to interfere but it would only back fire on Jarrett's part. It had a nice shot with "head" towards the end. Pretty average match. 2.5/5

3. Big Bossman vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin
The match started out with a brawl on the outside before it would move into the ring. Bossman would hit a low blow on Austin but the ref ignored it. There was some good shots but it would end in a dq so Austin would sell his injury throughout the night. 3/5

4. William Regal vs. X-Pac
A pretty refreshing match to say the least. The match was very good especially after the poor matches that was placed infront of them. Regal & X-Pac took some hard bumps in this one. Regal would soon apply some holds on X-Pac to wear him down. X-Pac took a lot of punishment on his neck and even takes a hard suplex from the top rope. It was a disappointment when it became a double count-out but this could have been the match of the first round. Pretty good match. 4/5

5. Ken Shamrock vs. Goldust
This was a pretty good match up as well. Some nice moveneuvers and some reversals. Some nice slams. Shamrock pulled off a nice hurricanrana off the top rope onto Goldust. Good match. 3.5/5

6. The Rock vs. Bossman
It was originally suppose to be Triple H but he was still out from his knee injury, so Bossman would be the replacement. It ended in about 6 or 7 seconds after the Rock got a quick roll up on Bossman after he entered the ring. Very short match to say the least but I liked it though, I felt it was a good move. 1/5

Quarter Finals
7. Undertaker w/ Paul Bearer vs. Kane
It was cool to see Kane being the face and Taker being the heel this time around. Some good brawling and some nice shots were taken in the beginning of the match. It had some good action to take place on the outside. Taker would work on Kane's leg to try and beat him down. It had some nice power moves and some nice brawling throughout the match. Not as good as their wrestlemania meeting but you can't help that with this being a tournament match. Nice way to start off the quarter finals. 4/5

8. Al Snow vs. Mankind
I don't have no idea how Foley can wrestle a pretty decent match up while wearing a tux but he did it. The match had some good action on the outside and a chair would even get introduced. It had some nice hard shots. One funny stupid part of the match was when Foley found socko around "head" and then he would stomp on the head. Pretty nice contest with a good amount of time. 3.5/5

9. Ken Shamrock vs. The Rock
I felt this was the best match these two had that year. They had a nice brawl on the outside and some good wrestling in the ring. They pull off some nice counters and some good moves. Bossman would interfere but once again it would only backfire. Good match, much better than their other encounters. 4/5

10. Women's Championship
Sable vs. Jacqueline w/ Marc Mero
Jackie would get a cheap shot on Sable in the early going. Sable would get the advantage and hit the TKO on Jackie. Mero would interefere but would get powerbombed on the outside by Sable. It had some good counters. Sable hit her sablebomb on Jackie to regain the title. Impressive women's title match. 3.5/5

Semi-Finals
11. Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Mankind
Stone Cold would just come to the ring and just beat on Foley and then just rip his clothes off. He would even hit Foley with his very own shoe. It was a little funny to see foley wrestle in his socks. McMahon and the stooges would come to ringside. Another funny part was when Foley countered the stunner and then ran from the ring. Austin took a hard slam onto the concrete floor. It got physical on the outside for a while. It became a better of a match once it got back into the ring. A chair would also come into play in this match as well. It had a shocking ending but it all worked well in the end. 3.5/5

12. The Rock vs. Undertaker w/ Paul Bearer
The match started out with a pretty good brawl and soon went to the outside where some more brawling took place. They had a pretty good wrestling match and a nice slugfest as well. Kane would come out and get Taker dqed after chokeslamming the rock. Taker and Kane would then just go and fight all out into the crowd. 4/5

13. WWE Tag Team Championship
New Age Outlaws vs. Headbangers vs. D Lo Brown & Mark Henry
This match was interesting, cause one member from each team was in the match at the same time. The headbangers seem liked the odd man team where they would try to get the quick pin after the other teams did their dirty work. There was a lot of double team moves apllyed to the outlaws. The match had a few high risk and some nice shots. The Road dogg really gets isolated in this one. It had a pretty good ending. Good match to set up the finals. 3.5/5

14. Finals for the WWE Championship
The Rock vs. Mankind
Foley and Rock always had some pretty good matches together and this was no exception. This match also had its share of having some good action to take place on the outside. Foley uses some nice wrestling holds to wear down the Rock. The McMahons would soon come out and stand ringside. Foley & Rock took some hard slams and hard shots on the outside. Foley even crashes through the announce table at one point in the match. This match was defiantly the match of the night, but of course this match is known as the second Survivor Series screw job. Nice way to end the show. 4.5/5

After the match, McMahon would address the fans and tell them how the people screwed the people. McMahon would also make reference to Foley and Austin. Austin would soon return and get revenge on Foley and the Rock for what happened earlier in the show.

This wasn't the best Survivor Series but if yall like tournaments and if yall can find this somewhere for like 5 bucks or under then I recommend on getting it but it aint really all that special. You can get the final match on the Rock's 3 disc dvd as well.

Movie Review: wwe
Summary: 5 Stars

I love tournaments but I did'nt like the fact that it was a 14-men insted of a 16-men toury. I also did'nt like the draw in the Steven Regal vs. X-Pac match. Other then that, I like it overall.

Movie Review: CRAP DONT BUY
Summary: 1 Stars

HAD SO MANY GOOD PAIRS HERE BUT NONE OFF THEM WERE GOOD ITS A SHAME THIS SOULD HAVE BEN THE BEST SS IF YOU LOOK AT ALL MATCHS DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ARE YOUR TIME.

Movie Review: It was okay
Summary: 3 Stars

This was the first time since WrestleMania 4 back in 1988 that a ppv had a touranment to determine who should capture the vacant wwf title. It was set up just like WM 4 where 14 individuals competed and two automatically were in the second round (those being kane and undertaker). The majority of the matches in this tourament were average or poor. The only matches that really shined in the tourament was Ken Shamrock vs Rock, Rock vs Mankind, and Austin vs Foley. Of course, there was a very shocking development and that was the McMahons master plan and not only screwing Austin both also Mic Foley. If you've seen this show you know what I'm talking about. The undercard which only featured two matches, the women's title match and tag team triple threat title matches were average. Overall, not bad but there are better 1998 ppvs such as King Of the Ring and Summerslam.

Movie Review: It's A Deadly Game
Summary: 5 Stars

I think you are either going to love or hate this pay per view. I for one loved it. I remember being on the edge of my seat the whole night. The reason is the creative storylines. Some will criticize this show and say it's another slap-in-the-face to Bret Hart and his WWE exit. In actuality, whether or not the screwjob ending was indeed just that, it only marked the ending point of the show. And personally, I thought the ending of this show was the weakest point of the night although it got the job done. However, the stories and swerves that lead to it two and half hours earlier were nicely executed and kept me interested. Along with that, the wrestlers put on quality wrestling and performed their acting roles to perfection. Plus it was fresh at the time to see a main event match without the name Stone Cold Steve Austin. With this, Survivor Series 1998 catapulted The Rock and Mick Foley to their permanent main event stardom while their feud and ppv matches would continue to progress to new and greater heights for the next several months.

Survivor Series 98 is filled with great action and also some very shocking storyline progression. The Shane O'Mac swerve was especially shocking but pleasantly original as well. Plus, if you are a Rock fan, this is a must see for obvious reasons.
