For years, going by the PPVs only, I always thought that the Midnight Express's face turn came when the Original Midnight Express jumped and attacked them on WCW on TBS.
Never knew that they turned face by feuding with the Four Horsemen and even got a second World Tag Team Title reign out of it (thought it was only the one they had in 1986).

Shamrock said monkey ass in reference to the Rock and then said he didn't want to face this monkey in reference to D'Lo. Yeesh.
Also the Rock gave Shamrock a nasty nasty chairshot. That was gross.
Also two weeks til Mania and in 1998 USA put RAW on Tuesday for whatever reason idk. Its not the US Open or the dog show.

Ricky Steamboat apparently DIDNT hate the "Fire Breathing Dragon" gimmick since he used it in 1994 WCW.

TNT, Salvatore going over cooking with Vince and Lord Alfred. Alfred gets white powder on his nose...
Vince: "That's not the first time I've seen you with white powder on your nose Alfred" and laughing ensues haha

Curious to know did D'Lo start off as a random Nation Member? I ask because I was watching the Rumble and he was in a promo with the Nation

I think hes also the only original member Faarooq kept. Kinda like the assistant he trusted more than anyone.

I forgot how great the Batista/HHH feud was, from start to finish they told a great story.
I liked how Trips tried to lead Batista into going to Smackdown to face JBL at WM21 but he saw right through it and stayed on Raw to win the World Title.

I loved when Batista finally bombed HHH through the contract table

2/9/98 Raw
JR mentions there’s still some tickets available for the next weeks Raw in Dallas
Moments later, he says how No Way Out in Houston is sold out but The Rolling Stones aren’t at the same venu. Kevin Kelly goes “what do they say, great seats available?”
I get they’re saying WWF is selling out and the Stones aren’t, but at least spread it out when you mention tickets still being available for Raw

I love how the Mania 14 poster has 4 pictures of Stone Cold, Michaels, Tyson and the Undertaker and it looks like Tyson is facing the Undertaker.
Also despite mostly being used to put over other teams LOD was over. Also some of these tag teams in the 15 team battle royal are so slapdash how the f*** are we supposed to know Bradshaw is teaming with Chainz. Also Henry f***ed up staying in despite Farooq being eliminated.

Lillian Garcia makes a lot more sense once you learn for awhile every week they had Sunny out there doing introductions for random matches. She is absolutely horrendous at it.

The DoA had fought the New Midnight Express on the Raw before Mania, and Bradshaw was feuding with Windham over the Blackjacks breakup, so there was a bit of sense in pairing the two.

It wasn’t the gimmick he hated it was the fact that wwf stopped acknowledging him as Ricky Steamboat and now he was just an opening match guy called The Dragon. They fully acknowledged he was Ricky Steamboat. His Hasbro figure had his full name on the package, and McMahon and Savage mention the WM 3 match during his entrance here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrC3kPdVNwk

The bruise on the back of Terry Funk during the dumpster match is nasty ouch. Also when they are going to the back on a cork board you can see Pete Rose on the board.
