Movie Reviews of WWE Rock Bottom 1998
Movie Review: fun to watch-not a classic, though
Summary: 3 Stars
This was a good event, but not great. some solid matches, especially Rock vs. Mankind, but the finish was a total copout. The buried alive match was a bit disappointing. Austin and 'Taker's match seemed to drag on at times...but I have to admit, Debra looked amazing!Movie Review: IT WAS ALRIGHT NOT THE GREATEST
Summary: 3 Stars

Summary: 2 Stars
Like the other Attitude Collection DVD I have, Unforgiven 98, this one's DVD production quality is "unforgiveable" *gets pelted with rotten fruit* for its abysmal production. Released in 2002, well into the WWF's DVD history releases, this one has NO chapters, NO menus, NO extras, NOTHING. To get from one match to the next, you have to manually fast forward like a VHS. At least in Unforgiven 98, they had a mid-way point in the event, essentially creating two 90 minute chapters in the 3 hour event. This one had nothing.
The event itself was a lackluster one, especially by the WWF's "Attitude Era" standards. By modern WWE standards, it would've been a spellbinding spectacle.
Val Venis and The Godfather vs D'Lo Brown and Mark Henry
This was a surprise, considering how little I think of all these superstars, and their initial fates in the WWF as low-card players most of their careers. They did some good stuff, but nothing that was especially spectacular. (6.5/10)
The Headbangers vs The Oddities
I was a wrestling fan since around early 2000 and as a child back then, I used to scour the depths of WWF.com's old video archive. Along the way, I encountered these guys... The Oddities. I knew of the Headbangers from my Wrestlemania 2000 game, as well as on TV, and so I knew what to expect. What I did not expect was the odd show the Oddities put on, with the 7 foot Kurrgan, looking like a thick Russian guy trying to fit in with a strange group, the other 7+ foot Silva looking like a thick Italian guy trying to fit in with a strange group, and I was amused. While not a great wrestler, Kurrgan had amazing ring presence and charisma, and Golga was surprising despite his size. This match wasn't about wrestling, but rather entertainment. (8/10)
Steve Blackman vs Owen Hart
This one was a boring match of locks, holds, fluffy light wrestling moves, and Owen Hart threatening to get counted out many times until he finally does get counted out. Garbage at worst, below average at best. (3/10)
The Brood vs The J.O.B. Squad
Like the Oddities vs Headbangers match, I knew of these groups from scouring the old archives of WWF.com and from my Wrestlemania 2000 video game. I was surprised to see them in action (and to see 2 Cold Scorpio in the WWF) and they put on a great tag team match. (7.5/10)
Striptease Match
Jeff Jarrett vs Goldust
Dull as dishwater is not an overstatement. For some reason Goldust hasn't impressed me with any of his matches, and there was little that was good about this match. Even the post-match striptease was something that would make little 12 year olds giggle and press against their doors so their parents wouldn't walk in. (1/10)
WWF Tag Team Championship
The New Age Outlaws (C) vs The Big Boss Man and Ken Shamrock
For some reason, this one was terrible. The Big Boss Man's performance was something mirroring the ghastly affair of the "Kennel from Hell" match with Al Snow, and more attention seemed to be focused on commissioner Shawn Michaels, being a former DX member, siding against the two DX members, the Road Dogg and Billy Gunn. (3/10)
WWF Championship
Mankind vs The Rock (C)
Mick Foley isn't a great wrestler and neither is The Rock, but both have immense ring presence and charisma that more than makes up for it---it makes them superstars. This match was not a show of this superstardom. Perhaps because it was a lowly "In Your House" PPV, this match was sluggish and low, and the ending was just even more terrible, with Mankind winning but McMahon claiming that he knocked out The Rock, and thus The Rock still would hold the title. (3/10)
Buried Alive Match
The Undertaker vs Stone Cold Steve Austin
This match went on too long, and had too little to offer in the way of entertainment or action. Three times the two battled back and forth from the grave site to the ring, most of the time crawling around as if they were battering one another to bloody pulps. Austin was filthy from rolling around half-naked in the dirt, and did little more than punches and kicks. Boring, badly played out match that didn't impress nor did it entertain. (0/10)
If it weren't for the shoddy DVD production, this would probably be a 3 star event, though not a very good one at that.
