Bret/Owen was an example where the biz was heading :to:

Only to be topped by HBK/Razor later on :ohhh:

But gotdamn, Owen was on his way. Gotdamn the Attitude fukkery for taking him from us :to:

I'd have to go with Bret/Owen as well. That match was awesome. What made it even better was Owen went over :myman:

Eddie/Rey is pretty underrated though.

Not even close. Bret/Owen was one of the greatest displays of pace/CRISP technical wrestling/entertaining spots/comedy/telling a story in the match(accomplished older brother vs heel jealous little brother)/crowd involvement/overall structure and a unique unexpected finish that actually made sense as Owen worked Bret's leg all match like a true heel.

The fact Vince/King didn't even know the ending until it happened was even better from a commentary standpoint. Genuine reaction. Owen giving Bret the finger to top it off :lolbron:

And NY got THAT as an opening match? :whew:
