This week, we dust off the VCR and jump back into the chaos of the Attitude Era with the February 16, 1998 episode of Raw Is War—and y’all, it’s a MESS in the best way. Kelsey remembers the Quebecers just in time, Xavier’s stressed about the Legion of Doom’s ongoing dumpster trauma, and we all agree that Jackyl’s “intellectual intercourse” is a war crime.

PLUS: We talk about our trip to Anniversary 8: A Jurassic Celebration, give major love to Vince Steele Jr. and the Mecca crowd, and try to process The Rock giving out Rolexes… and a framed portrait of himself.

Match Card Highlights:

• The Quebecers vs. Legion of Doom
• Ken Shamrock vs. Sniper (RIP, Truth Commission)
• Rock ‘n’ Roll Express (c) vs. The Headbangers — NWA Tag Team Titles
• Owen Hart (c) vs. Jeff Jarrett — European Championship
• Águila & Taka Michinoku vs. Brian Christopher & Pirata Morgan
• Steve Blackman vs. Farooq (feat. The Rock’s literal face)
• Cactus Jack & Chainsaw Charlie vs. Marc Mero & Goldust — Main Event

🪩 Sable’s still THAT girl.

🪓 Chainsaws are swinging.

📸 And Kane may or may not have sent Doc to the underworld.

We’re back on the road to WrestleMania 14 and trying (emphasis on trying) to keep our sanity.
