In February of 1998, WWE were on the road to WrestleMania XIV, arguably one of the most important wrestling shows in the company's history. That month they were presenting No Way Out of Texas: In Your House, to be headlined by an 8-man tag match featuring 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin, Cactus Jack & Chainsaw Charlie versus D-Generation X with one drawback- one of their biggest stars, and WWE Champion at the time, Shawn Michaels, was unavailable, owing to the back injury he'd suffered at that year's Royal Rumble (and would keep him out of action after WrestleMania for years). Who WWE would book to replace Shawn Michaels in the match was a major talking point going in...and coming out of the event. Also on the show, Kane continued his path to a first-time confrontation with his brother The Undertaker, in a bout with Vader and The Nation of Domination had what was termed a 'War of Attrition' match with Ken Shamrock, Ahmed Johnson and the DOA. The Random Wrestling Review is brought to you this week by Stephen, Alex and Tinky.

THEY RUINED IT! In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys get the fallout from the shove heard ‘round the world, and a pretty filler-heavy episode of Monday Night Raw.

linktr.ee/CatchingUpOnCinema This April, Catching Up On Cinema becomes “Catching Up On Kayfabe,” a pro-wrestling podcast! All month long we'll be reviewing WWF/WWE shows from 1998, The Attitude Era. This week, we're joined by Richie of the Super Media Bros podcast and gonstFM radio station, as we finally sit down to review the second half of the No Way Out of Texas: In Your House pay-per-view! A haphazardly constructed card that suffers greatly from the absence of then WWF world heavyweight champion, Shawn Michaels, the second half of No Way Out of Texas is a bit of a letdown, but a chaotic and consummately Attitude Era one nonetheless. Matches featured in this week's discussion include: Ken Shamrock, Ahmed Johnson and DOA vs. The Nation of Domination Kane vs. Vader Stone Cold Steve Austin, Owen Hart, Cactus Jack and Chainsaw Charlie vs. HHH, The New Age Outlaws, and Savio Vega Follow Richie's awesome podcast and radio show here:https://linktr.ee/supermediabroshttps://linktr.ee/gonstfmFollow us on Instagram @catchinguponcinema Follow us on Twitter @CatchingCinema Like, share, subscribe, and we'll catch you next time
