SummerSlam 1998

1. D-Lo Brown defeated Val Venis by disqualification

These guys gave a heck of an effort and definitely delivered on their opportunity. The silly finish hurt this a tad, but there is no denying the effort.

Rating: 3.25

2. The Oddities defeated Kaientai by pinfall

This may be the worst match I've ever seen. Wow.

Rating: 0

3. X-Pac defeated Jeff Jarrett by pinfall

This was another solid match between two guys who were fighting to make their way up the card.

Rating: 3

4. Edge and Sable defeated Marc Mero and Jaqueline by pinfall

This was decent, but tried to imitate the much more entertaining WrestleMania match a little too much. Still, not a bad match.

Rating: 1.75

5. Ken Shamrock defeated Owen Hart by submission

This was a neat idea, even if UFC wasn't too popular at this point. It's too bad they didn't do anymore of these (at least that I can remember).

Rating: 3

6. The New Age Outlaws defeated Mankind by pinfall to win the Tag Team Championships

This was a good effort by Foley, but ultimately too short to be anything special.

Rating: 2

7. Triple H defeated The Rock in a ladder match to win the Intercontinental Championship

***Match Of The Night ***

This was a star making performance for these two legends. The crowd was very into this match and for good reason. Great stuff.

Rating: 4

8. Steve Austin defeated Undertaker by pinfall

This was your typical brawling main event like only Austin can deliver. However, the ending was kind of out of nowhere, making the finish a little anticlimatic. This was a good main event otherwise.

Rating: 3.5

Well, this was an awesome show. If you take out the one horrible match, everything else was good to great. 5 of the 8 matches get a 3 or better, which automatically makes this show awesome.
