Survivor Series 1998 was the 14th Survivor Series event produced by World Wrestling Federation which took place on 8th November 1998

## Background

The main match heading into the show is Team Vince vs The Union in a Survivor Series Elimination match where if The Union wins, Jim Cornette will become co-owner of WWF. Ever since summer of 1997, Jim Cornette has urged Vince that pro wrestling sells but the whole show is becoming a warzone so he better get his shit together. Cornette finally announced his intentions of being co-owner of WWF because Vince "owed" him due to a failed promise a couple of years ago, Vince said he put a lot of thought on his situation and he came to the conclusion that sports entertainment SELLS so that's exactly what they would keep doing. Cornette came back with a proposal, Vince would pick a sports entertainment representative while Cornette would pick a pro wrestling representative, the winner would be owner of WWF. Vince accepted as he picked The Rock while Cornette picked British Bulldog, at Wrestlemania 14 The Rock defeated Bulldog quickly ending Cornette's dreams. After Wrestlemania, Cornette would start debuting with legitimate stars and pro wrestlers such as Dan Severn, Dr.Death and olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle, he managed to get former world champion Owen Hart into the group as well and Nation of Domination member Mark Henry, they ambushed Vince and gave him the fake promise that if The Union were all included in the B Block of the G1, they would help Vince beat Austin for the WWF title, Vince accepted but was immediatly kicked afterwards, Vince wasn't worried about Cornette's takeover as he had beat him once, he was only worried about Austin and after he exploded Vince's mansion, Cornette took advantage of Vince's adrenaline as he challenged him to a 5 on 5 where if The Union won, Cornette would become co-owner, Vince didn't even hear it and just said yes. As soon as he realized what he did, he announced his team would consist of Shawn Michaels, Mankind, Kane, The Undertaker and Ken Shamrock but Kane, Shawn and Taker refused to help Vince in anyway so Vince got Faaroq and Test instead. Shamrock wanted revenge as he kept feuding with Dan Severn because he made him lose the IC title, Mankind accepted to be in the match as Vince added the stakes that if Team WWF won, Mankind would get a hardcore match against Kane, Faaroq accepted as Vince told him that he could have the chance to get a WWF title match against The Rock and Test accepted as he was supposed to be in the G1 until The Union took over the block, there's a 5th surprise partner for Team Vince

The Rock has been set up as the golden boy of The Corporation as soon as he shockingly defeated WWF Champion Stone Cold clean to become NO1 contender to the Intercontinental Championship, he won the title but quickly forfeited it as he moved on to bigger things, The Corporation helped him win the A Block and Vince Mcmahon turned on who was supposed to be the OG golden boy of The Corporation Shawn Michaels to give The Rock the G1 win, he will face Austin here tonight as possibly the 2 biggest stars of 1998

At G1 Finals, The Corporation interfered in Stone Cold's WWF title defense against The Undertaker because Vince knew The Rock could beat Austin but wasn't sure if he could beat the demon that was The Undertaker, Austin and Taker took out the group but it ended with Jeff Jarrett doing a lowblow to Taker and Austin stunning him to retain, Ministry of Darkness kidnapped Jarrett as Taker demanded a match against him, Mankind has given tips to Jarrett saying Taker's weak point are his balls.

The Undertaker wasn't the only man trying to make the higher power happy as after Christian shockingly became european champion, he set his sights on becoming the lightheaviweight AND hardcore champion to become the first ever triple champion in history, a 6 men package was made for tonight between european champion Christian, lightweight champion Dick Togo, hardcore champion Brian Christopher, Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy and Gillberg for all 3 titles

After Shawn was turned on by Vince Mcmahon, the only thing he wanted was a WWF title shot to prove everyone wrong that he had downgraded since 1997, Vince put Shawn in a match against Chyna where he won just to have a NO1 contenders match tonight against Pat Patterson, Gerald Brisco and Steve Blackman in a handicap match
