WWF “In Your House : Unforgiven” (04.26.1998) (Wrestling Review)

A pretty boring and dragged out match. It had a story going into it and lead to a rivalry happening but this just wasn’t a great match. Crowd was into anything The Rock did in it but outside of that there wasn’t much here. 

1.5 / 5

A bit slow for the first half but once it picked up the crowd was into it. Owen helped make HHH look like a great champ here and sold some stuff great. The Chyna angle and cheap finish helped HHH / DX continue to look like heels. 

2.5 / 5

Using Rock And Roll Express to put over a new team here is fine but it just was boring. The crowd wasn’t into this all at all and even at 7 minutes it felt too long. 

1 / 5

Not even a 3 minute “match” but the crowd was red hot for it. 

.5 / 5

This had its moments but went too long and slow. Working over Animals knee to never do anything with it didn’t make much sense. The title change fake finish happened so fast it was almost hard to process too what had happened until commentary explained it. 

2 / 5

This is a historic match honestly. The idea and execution of it in 1998 is something to behold. Since its not a normal match at all its almost hard to rate because the wrestling becomes second tier here next to the idea and goal of the match. Some good spots here with the final blowing up and the Taker jump to the outside is legendary. For its slower moments and all this is still a fun match to see. 

3.5 / 5

A fun fast paced main event. Foley took some horrible looking bumps here. Rules here were kept very loose but they still went for a DQ finish. The Vince angle too added some extra tension for Austin. This was also the first chair shot for Vince that we got to see which was a big deal. 

4 / 5
