SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...

SHOW SUMMARY: In part two of a special two-part episode of Pro Wrestling Then and Now, PWTorch Dailycast “All Elite Aftershow” co-host Mike McMahon joins Frank to look back on WrestleMania 14 from the Fleet Center in Boston, Mass. Mike was in the building and offers an in-person perspective. They review the entire card, which featured babyface Owen Hart challenging Triple H (w/Chyna handcuffed to Sgt. Slaughter) for the European Championship, Ken Shamrock challenging The Rock (w/Nation of Domination) for the Intercontinental Championship, The Undertaker vs. Kane (w/Paul Bearer) in their long awaited match, and (appropriately on 3:16 Day) “Stone Cold” Steve Austin challenging Shawn Michaels for the WWF Championship with Mike Tyson as the special outside enforcer. Discussion points include:

  • The state of the tag team division in 1998
  • Criticism of Triple H’s in-ring style.  Also his introduction of X-Pac the following night on Raw being the first big “Raw after WrestleMania.”
  • The DX band
  • Owen Hart’s run as a babyface
  • Should Ken Shamrock have won the IC title, and should The Rock have won King of the Ring in 1998?
  • The disappointment of the Undertaker vs. Kane match
  • Did Steve Austin need to get that win over Bret Hart he never got?
