Survivor Series 1998 had a JR/Lawler exchange during the finals of the Deadly Games tournament where JR promised they would stay with the Mankind vs. Rock finals until there is a winner. Lawler then said that you'll get to see all of this show. JR then retorts that King should not make fun of the less fortunate. Did I mention this was the first WWF PPV after Halloween Havoc 1998 where a sizeable portion of people who bought that PPV didn't get to see all of Goldberg vs. DDP? From the same show when Vince McMahon was introducing Duane Gill he took a dig too. I can't remember his exact words but it was something about Gill going to WCW because he was more on level with their wrestlers or something like that

Jim Ross loved pointing out the more realistic style of the NWA: “You don’t see our wrestlers coming out here with snakes and rock & roll music!” During a Vinnie Vegas match, Jesse Ventura said “why is it that every guy I know named Vinnie always has lousy suits and bad hair?” Ross' commentary during this period is what I thought of first. During one of the Flair vs Steamboat matches JR says "the name on the marquee is WRESTLING! They're not out here posing to rock and roll music!!!" I always loved that comment. Although it was funny to see him endorsing Vince's bs just 4 years later.

Both of these are from late 98. Pretty much the end of the MNW.

On an early Raw, the commentary table was shown and Heenan was seen watching an Atlanta Braves game and Vince and Savage told him to turn that off as there's nothing to watch on TBS
