This is a very nice surprise. I had planned to do this because it was the 200th episode (again that’s an approximation because a simple thing like counting is a hard task for a company like the WWF) but in reality it has what is considered one of the best matches in the history of Raw and possibly in the history of wrestling on free TV. We’re setting up for Wrestlemania 13 which is in about three weeks I think. Let’s get to it.

Perhaps The Best TV Match Ever

The sequence with the arm lock in the opening moments of the Owen/Bulldog match was beautiful. Great, great stuff.

It seems to me as if they were trying to make the European Championship seem quite prestigious, were they not? That tournament was stacked.

Indeed it was. Then it turned into Mideon winning the title by finding it in a bag.

How do you go from Bret, Vader, Owen, and Davey Boy to Mideon? I'll never understand that.

I absolutely loved what Owen was doing in that match with Bulldog. He was playing the heel, he was tugging at the fibers of their alliance -- awesome performance.
