Revisiting RR 1998
-Unlike 1 year before, this time the crowd is pretty hot
-You can notice Kurrgan is Dredger the french giant from the 2009 Sherlock Holmes movie, legit 7 footer unlike most.
-SCSA is the clear star, gets a biggert pop at the entrance than the entire roster combined
-the other 2 top babyfaces are Owen Hart and Ken Shamrock
-Jeff Jarrett participates as NWA Champ, he gets booed massively.
-The Rock is the second biggest heel, still resented by most of the crowd, but at least for a good reason now. He does an early version of the People's Elbow
-SCSA is still a midget among mastodons, he gets away by embushing people and low blowing them.
-the final sequence sees the first square off between Rock and Austin that sends the crowd wild
-Vader is noticeably kind of a flop by now

A funny moment of this Rumble was Owen Hart coming out and they cut to Mike Tyson and he's going crazy. He looked more excited to see him than he did Austin

Another funny thing was when Tyson called SCSA Cold Stone and said Shawn Michaels was an up and coming star and Undertaker was the veteran.

based Iron Mike sided with Owen during the Bret Owen feud. Just like me and Kevin James

His recorded reaction at Austin entrance saw him going wild as well and he admitted SCSA was the main reason to work with WWF anyway.
