Details on the mcmahon interview:
Sable came out and did the intro for the McMahon Interview. Vince is accompanied to the ring by Gerald Brisco and Pat Patterson. An Austin chant begins. Vince stares at Sable with a smile, that would be an awful couple even if it were for ratings. Pat Patterson tried touching Sable's ass and Sable slapped him in the face. Patterson got red and ordered Sable out of the ring. Patterson said the fans should have respect for all 3 men in the ring. Brisco cleaned the mic for McMahon who finally began the interview. He thanked the fans for joining him in watching King of the Ring. He wondered how many peeps wanted to see Kane defeate Stone Cold for the title. Not a good response from the crowd. He asked how many peeps joined him to see Kane set on fireand the crowd popped. McMahon said they were setting themselves up for a big dissapointment. He said most of the fans have had their lives full of dissapointments. He called the fans dissapointments to their parents and the crowd was mad. What marks. McMahon keeps on talking about how the crowd is such a dissapointment. He says that the people's parents probably dissapointed their children. My friend, Badtz, who's at my house is so pissed because this is such crap and has nothing to do with wrestling. I agree. Vince said he wanted to prepare the fans for what they'd feel when SCSA loses tonight against Kane. He warned the fans of the inevitable when he stated that Kane would win.

Another brutal event
I bought this tape in 2003 and I had no clue what the other matches (or superstars) were except for the last 3. So, onto the review of those 3 matches:
1. Ken Shamrock def. The Rock to become the 1998 King of the Ring. Very good solid match. Nothing more I can say cause its been over a year since I saw the match. Rating: 8/10
2. Undertaker def. Mankind in a Hell in a Cell match. This was the sickest Hell in a Cell match I've ever seen (or heard of). This match, The HIAC match at No Way Out 2000, and Armageddon 2000 are the sickest matches, but this one doesn't compare. First off, the first minute of this match Undertaker throws Mankind off the top of the Cell, crashing through the announce table!! Then about 10 minutes later, Taker chokeslams Mankind through the top of the cell, for another crash of 16+ feet (yep, Mankind climbed back to the top of the cell for that bump. So, another few minutes later, Undertaker throws the steel steps at Mankind 3 times very hard. After this, Mankind gets a piledriver, and his double arm DDT. But when he goes to get a bag of tumbtacks from under the ring, Undertaker chokeslams him on the tacks!! The to finish off the match, Taker tombstones Mankind in the ring for the 3 count. This match was VERY brutal. Rating: 11/10 (that was intentional, meaning this was one of my favorite matches to watch)
3. Kane def. Stone Cold to win the WWF Championship in a 'First Blood' match. Stipulations: if Kane loses he sets himself on fire; if Kane wins, he wins the title. Another very brutal contest, but not as bad as the HIAC match. The Cell acually lowers for some reason and about 3/4 of the match is fought inside the cage. Taker and Mankind come down to the ring, and Taker acually helps Kane win the match, when he gives Stone Cold a big huge chair shot to the head. Rating: 10/10
Basically all you have to do is skip (or fast forward) through all the matches and stop once you see Rock and Shamrock fight.

Undertaker v. Mankind
This is the most infamous moment in the history of Hell in a Cell. Watch as Mankind is thrown off of the top of the steel structure.
Rating: -
First Blood is drawn!!
The Headbangers & Taka Michinoku v. Kaientai
This match was surprinsly very good. Taka & Bangers win in a good match.****
Ken Shamrock v. Jeff Jarrett Semi-Final
Bad match. Jarrett just destroyes Shamrock then Shamrock makes Jarrett tap to the Ankle Lock.**
Dan "The Beast" Severn v. The Rock Semi-Final
A very decent little match of course the Rock wins. This sets up Shamrock v. Rock later in the night.***
Al Snow & Head v. Too Much
This match was absolutly horrible. It was so dumb. I skip that chapter every time I watch it.*1/2
X-Pac v. Owen Hart
Antoher boring match. I got scared when I ordered this. I didn't think the rest of the PPV would be good. X-Pac wins.*3/4
New Age Outlaws v. The New Midnight Express World Tag Titles
Very good match and refreshing. I don't care if the titles stayed with the Outlaws still a great match.****
Ken Shamrock v. The Rock King of the Ring Final
Not a very good match. It could have been a lot better. Somehow Shamrock won.***
The Undertaker v. Mankind Hell In A Cell
OH MY GOD!!!!! This is the greatest HIAC ever. Mankind beats the Undertaker in an incredible match.*****
Stone Cold Steve Austin v. Kane First Blood World Title
What a bad main event. Taker says he hit Austin with a chair because he didn't want Kane to set himself on fire. Kane wins the title.****
