WWF Mayhem in Manchester - April 1998


WWF Mayhem In Manchester - April 4th 1998 - Boston, Massachusetts

Matches
Jeff Jarrett defeated Brakkus (3/10)
The Godwinns defeated The Decyples of Apocalypse (3/10)
Bradshaw defeated Marc Mero (3/10)
Ken Shamrock and Owen Hart defeated Nation of Domination (3/10)
The Artist formerly known as Goldust defeated Cactus Jack (4/10)
LOD 2000 defeated New Age Outlaws via DQ {WWF Tag Team Titles} (4/10)
Steve Austin defeated Triple H (4/10)
The Undertaker defeated Kane (4/10)

Moments - Positives
The set up of the show and the way it was recorded for home video means that I cannot see any positives about this "PPV event". Technically I should probably not be reviewing it. Having said that, Austin/HHH looked like a promising match as did Cactus Jack/Goldust.

Moments - Negatives
The whole PPV was recorded as a highlight show, the home video version only shows a section of the match which means there is no build up, ring psychology or hype. It truly doesnt work and its the only wrestling event i have ever seen shot in this way. Not sure whether this was expermiental but it means the whole thing is a joke.

Overall
If you are curiouse after this review then have a look at this video. You probably wont be able to watch longer than 10 mins of this 1 hour event. The highlight method and the diabolical camera angles make this one of the most unwatchable PPV events in WWF history.

SCORE = 3.0
