MOTN at less than ***.

**1/2
This wasn't that bad really.

Goldust defeated Jeff Jarrett (w/Debra) (8:02)
Jarret was disqualified by Commissioner Shawn Michaels when Debra hit Goldust with a guitar.
As a result of Jarrett losing, Debra had to strip. If Goldust had lost he would have had to strip.
*1/2
A lot of heat because of the stipulation here but not much else. Oh yeah, Debra's silicon hoo-has are hanging around too.

The New Age Outlaws (Road Dogg and Billy Gunn) defeated The Big Boss Man and Ken Shamrock to retain the WWF Tag Team Championship (17:04)
Gunn pinned Shamrock
*3/4
Way too long for these guys.

Mankind defeated WWF Champion The Rock(13:32)
Mankind knocked Rock out with the Mandible claw, but Vince McMahon returned the title to The Rock saying that The Rock never submitted.
**1/2
OK stuff going on here.

Steve Austin defeated The Undertaker in a Buried Alive match (21:30)
As a result, Austin qualified for the 1999 Royal Rumble Match
*1/2
20 minutes of this? I'm disgusted.

~ No suprise from me, it's another bad show. Not to go off on a rant here but man did 98 suck as far as wrestling goes. 2 **** matches all year long. The stoylines were great, don;t get me wrong, but I'm in it for the in ring stuff. Sadly, 1999 is even worse.
