December 1998: a big month for the World Wrestling Federation. In Your House: Rock Bottom is on the horizon - Mankind wants revenge for Survivor Series, Undertaker hates Austin and wishes to embalm eem, and Goldust will get his pecker out if he loses to Jeff Jarrett. BUT NONE OF THAT MATTERS, cos we're from the UK so we're going to CAPITAL CARNAGE!! Please pander to our nation's widely held discrimination against the South Asian community, Vince McMahon!!

IT'S GONNA BE EMOTIONAL!!!

We are just average Americans from 1998. Jay Leno is the man. Kevin James and Eric Cartman are funny as hell. And our president is a total chad. We hate job. We hate boss. We love beer. We love TV. We love applying lotion to our circumcised penises. We have many vices, but our worst by far is World Championship Wrestling in 1998.

Contempt... Scorn... Derision... DISDAIN... KILL YOURSELF!!

Nowadays, WWE fans are accustomed to a world in which the grapply reaches inside their trousers and makes all their dreams come true. This was not the case in 2015 when Vinceism reigned supreme and your grapply desires were beaten black & blue by the cold, hard reality of The Disdain Era. But is this particular peak of Disdain WWE actually better than the Twisty Era of today? Will there be Twistys along the way? And perhaps most importantly, what will the Grapplometer™ make of all this? It's time to suffer our succotash and find out.
