I like watching sets with commentary I can understand, so even tho I will say Japan & Mexico stuff is usually better than USA wrestling 85-90% of the time, I'm only nominating USA stuff, everything listed here I've seen myself in full & happy to join in on any questions/discussions involving them.
Starrcade 98 - Washington DC - MCI Center - December 27, 1998
Billy Kidman vs Juventud Guerrera vs Rey Mysterio Jr.
Billy Kidman vs Eddie Guerrero
Kidman really became a ''real'' Cruiserweight champion on this show, he worked roughly 15 minutes in the triple threat, them worked a second match vs Guerrero right afterwards, in all he was in the ring for almost 30 minutes a solid cruiserweight wrestling action.

Great American Bash 98 - Baltimore, MD - Arena - June 14, 1998
WCW TV Champion Fit Finlay vs Booker T
again, this was the phase when Booker really started to emerge from Harlem Heat & prove he could go 1 on 1

Halloween Havoc 98 - Las Vegas, NV - MGM Grand Garden Arena - October 25, 1998
WCW World Champion Bill Goldberg vs Diamond Dallas Page
I can remember being a wrestler myself for 2 years at this point & actually turned down a booking on this night just to stay home & watch this match/show. (what was I thinking?!) it was actually about as hot as a baby vs baby match could be, the crown was jacked & DDP delivered a decent match here, one of what I condider few for him.

SuperBrawl VIII - San Francisco, CA - Cow Palace - February 22, 1998
WCW Cruiserweight Champion Chris Jericho vs Juventud Guerrera in a title vs. mask match; we saw Juvy's face for the first time here & the match itself was decent.

Slamboree 98 - Worcester, MA - Centrum - May 17, 1998
WCW TV Champion Fit Finlay vs Chris Benoit,
solid wrestling in this one

Fall Brawl 98 - Winston-Salem, NC - Lawrence Joel Coliseum - September 13, 1998
Perry Saturn vs Raven
I remember watching this show & remembering that this match was one of the best matches wcw had the entire year imo. Everything else on this ppv was the drizzling shits....

Spring Stampede 98 - Denver, CO - Coliseum - April 19, 1998
WCW TV Champion Booker T vs Chris Benoit
one of the better matches of the best of 13 series.

Uncensored 98 - Mobile, AL - Civic Center - March 15, 1998
US Champion DDP vs Raven vs Chris Benoit
solid triple threat match here with a little bit of everything, Ravens selling ability & Benoits ring skills, the two of them made Page look like a million bucks

Souled Out 98 - Dayton, OH - Hara Arena - January 24, 1998
WCW Cruiserweight Champion Rey Mysterio Jr. vs Chris Jericho
I thought this was by far the best match of this ppv & was Mysterio's last wcw match for 6 months due to needing knee surgery, match featured a rare babyface tapout.

WrestleMania XIV - Boston, MA - FleetCenter - March 29, 1998
WWF World Champion Shawn Michaels vs Steve Austin
no way this match can be left off any set for 98, it started Austins 1st WWF Title reign & also marked the final match for hbk for several years.

Survivor Series 98 - St. Louis, MO - Kiel Center - November 15, 1998
WWF World Title Touranment Finals: The Rock vs WWF Hardcore Champion Mankind
The Corporate Champion era, The Rock really takes off!

Royal Rumble 98 - San Jose, CA - Arena - January 18, 1998
WWF World Champion Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker
casket match
This casket was set on fire after the match & this is the match in which HBK gets the back injury that ended his career just a couple of months after.

Summer Slam 98 - New York City, NY - Madison Square Garden - August 30, 1998
X-Pac vs Jeff Jarrett
good gimmick match ended with a head shaving.
WWF World Champion Steve Austin vs the Undertaker
the highway to hell theme songed match...
Austin shows great toughness in this match as he gets a legit concussion in the first spot of the match just seconds into it & still gets it together & goes 22 minutes w/ Taker.
