22 WTF Moments From WWE Attitude Era Raw 1998 (Jan 5)

1. Surprise, Shawn!

Whoever's decision it was to end Raw with two long non-wrestling segments clearly has no sense of pacing, because I'm completely burned out. Michaels strolls out alone to hype his upcoming casket match with the Undertaker, when he's interrupted by that telltale gong. A posse of druids wheel a casket down to the ring, which HBK ridiculously believes to be a prank played by Triple H and Chyna. He stupidly approaches the box, stupidly gets within reaching distance, and stupidly instructs the occupier to come out. He also stupidly ignores Triple H and Chyna when they run out to warn him, staying within convenient grabbing distance. The lid swings open and - surprise! - it's obviously the Undertaker. He grabs Shawn and pulls him inside, slamming the door closed and...that's where Raw goes off air. No explanation; no hint at what might happen to HBK. No nothing. What is this? WCW!? A fittingly ramshackle closing segment to end a ramshackle Raw. Let's hope next week's is better...
