10 Things You Learn Binge Watching Every WWE Raw From 1998

9. There Weren't Many Good Matches

The 'Attitude' era was known for big moments. 1998 alone had so many timeless segments involving Steve Austin, Vince McMahon, Kane, The Undertaker, Mankind, D-Generation X and others. Most of those took place outside of actual matches however.

Raw didn't have a banner in-ring year in '98.

It's almost shocking that your writer watched all 52 episodes of telly from that year and can barely remember more than a handful of decent matches. 99% of them were short affairs that only existed to get to the next promo skit, and 99.9% of those also had loads of outside interference, ref bumps or other shenanigans.

Some might cry into their 'Austin 3:16' t-shirts upon reading the next line, but here goes: 2020 has better wrestling action generally. You're much more likely to see a top-notch wrestling showcase on Raw these days than you were back then.
