The Highway to Oh Hell Yeah! September 30, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Summerslam 1998 was the Highway to Hell for Stone Cold and the Undertaker for the WWE title. This rivalry was building up for months and this match finally took place right here in the Garden. Another big time match that took place here was the epic ladder match between Triple h and The Rock. This Summerslam was probably the most hyped one up to this point in time.

1. European Title
Val Venis vs. D'Lo Brown
This match was a very good opener. These two had a pretty good match up. D'Lo at this time was wearing his phony chest protector which came into play many times. A good match which ended in a dq but it did had some good reversals and moves used. 3.5/5

2. Kaientai vs. The Oddities
Nothing really great or exciting at all but some good quality entertainment. It was fun to watch the little guys from Kaientai fight the bigger and taller guys from the Oddities. Nothing great by any means but very entertaining and fun. 2/5

3. Hair Match- Jeff Jarrett vs. X-Pac
A pretty refreshing match, least from a wrestling stand point. These two was pretty much on point in this match and pulling off good counters and getting in some shots on each other. They have had better but this is a match that belongs here. Good match up. 3.75/5

4. Edge & Sable vs. Marc Mero & Jacqueline
I believe this was edges's ppv debut. Edge was very on key here and showing everyone what he is made of. He pulled off an impressive dive over the top rope onto mero. Sable and Edge was working very well together and doing double teamed moves. A good ppv debut for Edge. 3.5/5

5. Lion's Den Match- Owen Hart vs. Ken Shamrock
A very unique match here. They were placed in this circle ring with no ropes surrounded by like a 12 ft high cage. Hart and Shamrock were going for submissions all through the match. Hart took a few hard shots from Shamrock here. I felt this match could have been better with what both of these guys are capable of but they still gave us something good to watch. 3.5/5

6. Tag Team Titles
No Holds Barred & Pin Falls Count Anywhere
Mankind vs. New Age Outlaws
It was supposed to be Mankind & Kane but Kane didn't show up. Mankind was at his usual routine here taking his hard chair shots to the head and the hard slams onto the floor. Mankind really takes a beating, getting in very little offense here and there. Nothing we haven't already seen from Foley before. Kane does make an appearence after the match anyhow. 4/5

6. Intercontinental Title
Ladder Match- The Rock vs. Triple H
This is another match that had a lot of build up to. After their match at WWE In Your House 23 - Fully Loaded solved nothing, Rock and Triple H upped their game here in this tremendous ladder match to end their feud. Both Hunter and Rock took a lot of hard punishment from the ladder and from each other. A lot of the action takes place on the outside where both took some viscious bumps on the ladder. Rock trys to work on Hunter's knee here and there. The fans was very electric in this one. The action in the ring was also very good. This was great match which stole the show. Outstanding match. This match is also available on WWE - The Ladder Match. A showstopping match. 5/5

7. WWE Title
Undertaker vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin
A perfect main event to close out the show. This match had a lot of hype behind it and Austin & Taker left it all on the line in this one. Taker was really out brawling Austin here and giving strikes after strikes and just using his strength to wear down Stone Cold. Austin was able to produce and pull out moveneuvers Austin rarely uses to counter and try to beat down Taker. The action would get taken to the outside where Taker would drop a massive leg drop to Austin while on the announce table. A pretty good counter from Austin into the stunner for the finish. A great main event. 5/5

This is one I recommend basically for the last two matches. But don't spend too much on it though.

The Highway To Hell.... Ends At The Garden. April 23, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This is one of my top favorite wrestling videos and an event that I believe any wrestling fan should own. It is very rare to see an event with so much hyped and not only is the main event awesome but the undercard was solid.

European Champion D'Lo Brown vs Val Venis. The first surprise of the night. This was a very solid opening contest that gave the fans the first taste of great wrestling. D'Lo was a little underrated and worked hard at this time and Venis was solid here. The ending is very weak but the match overall is very good.

The Oddities vs Kaientai. This was a fun but not a great match. It is funny to see the little guys against the huge giants. Again, not a wrestling classic but a lot of fun to watch and very entertaining.

Hair vs Hair: X-Pac vs Jeff Jarrett. The loser would get his head shaved. The storyline was worked out great to put over X-Pac. Jarrett was another underrated wrestler and these two gave the fans a great back and forth contest with a justified ending.

Edge & Sable vs Marc Mero & Jacqueline. Edge was just starting out during this era and he was not bad here. In fact, the match was actually good considering that it did not drag or felt like a waste of time. Good work by everyone involved.

Lions Den Match: Ken Shamrock vs Owen Hart. This was the WWF giving Shamrock a match that resembled a UFC fight. Anyways, these two always deliver a good match and this one is no exception as we see some nice grappling and even moves of the cage.

Tag Team Champions Mankind & Kane vs The New Age Outlaws in a Falls Count Anywhere, No Holds Barred Match. Kane decided to no-show, so it was a handicap match for the tag titles. Anyways, this one is watchable as it features some good hardcore action and Foley taking his usual bumps to put over the Outlaws.

Intercontinental Champion The Rock vs Triple H in a Ladder Match. This was the match that stole the show at this event and began a true launching pad in both men's careers. Rock shows how great he is as a heel and Triple H showed his heart to be a champion. Hard hitting ladder moves, few weapons (a chair) and a little interference and you have a forgotten classic. One of the best ladder matches that have been put out in WWF.

WWF Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin vs The Undertaker. This was the main reason that this event was hyped and anticipated for months. The Highway to Hell was one of the best build-ups that I have ever seen in professional wrestling. As far as the match is concerned, this match was awesome. I would rank this match as the best singles match that Austin and Taker had with no added stipulations. The ending showed a gracious loser but as well as the beginning of an awesome rivalry. Great performance by all of the wrestlers to make this event one of the best in 1998.

The PPV may be called "Highway to Hell" but it was Hardcore heaven for wrestling fans. The Undertaker-Steve Austin match is one of the greatest Summerslam matches of all-time.
