Grapple City Rewind

The Craziest Night in WWF History? - WWF King of The Ring 1998

Bradley Palermo & Aaron Fink Season 1 Episode 13

On this episode of Grapple City Rewind, we head back to the most infamous pay-per-view of the Attitude Era: WWF King of the Ring 1998. It's the night Mick Foley was thrown off (and through) the Hell in a Cell by The Undertaker, cementing his legacy—and risking his life.

But it’s more than just carnage. Your hosts Bradley Palermo and Aaron Fink unpack the chaos of the entire card: bonus matches, Ken Shamrock's rise, Sable’s odd reappearance, and Al Snow’s mannequin head getting pinned with Head & Shoulders. We also cover the bizarre booking, midcard mayhem, and how John Cena’s recent heel arc echoes back to Punk’s pipe bomb and the legends of the past.

If you love late-90s wrestling nostalgia, bad theme songs, and surprisingly deep commentary on Cub Scouts, this episode is for you.
