Heard that as well. If it was a case of him doing it and it still being entertaining or like a comedy match, then that's fine, I guess. If it's just crap, then that's just a slap in the face to everything and everyone that has given to the business.

Didn't Triple H say something like Owen would say at a house show that he was going to go out there and deliberately have the worst match? I love Owen, but isn't that kinda disrespectful to the fans who pay to see a good show? Maybe not I dunno lol He has been known to do things like that, namely with Mankind, to get a pop out of the other wrestlers and because he knew Dave Meltzer was watching. This, I believe, is what led to the "hardcore" match with Foley and Owen using giant bags of popcorn and foam soda cups on each other, and selling them like chair shots. So he might not LITERALLY have had the WORST match, but I think he probably had one that made the least amount of sense. |

Owen was good for stuff like that too -though,granted,his were mostly at house shows. He'd get pinned,then immediately get up and run to the back. Lots of stories of guys putting him in submission holds, and he'd pretend to be smoking an imaginary cigarette ,yawn,or crack his knuckles while in the hold. Sometimes he'd just sit/lay there with a completely blank expression on his face! But he did this to rib the boys, not a malicious act to make someone intentionally look bad.

I love Owen, but isn't that kinda disrespectful to the fans who pay to see a good show? Maybe not I dunno lol I know the last few years he did a lot of it specifically to amuse Davey Boy Smith, who would sometimes lose his s#$t over Owen's antics. I don't think he ever specifically went out there and like botched moves or something, but he's oversell or undersell stuff sometimes. 1995 - Allied Powers vs Yokozuna and Owen was running through the house show/tv taping circuit. Everyone who's seen a Luger match knows how he dramatically yells out when getting hit, almost to the point of overselling. Well I heard Owen took it one step farther. Whenever he's take a hit or have a move put on him by Luger, he WOULD oversell it as a rib on Lex : " AAAAWOOOOOOOHHHHHHHGOOOOOOODDDDDDDDOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW!" |

I think Luger mentioned that in Owen's DVD. I know I recently watched an interview with Lex where he mentioned it. Pretty sure it was Owen's DVD. I think it was about press slams. Lex would come in to slam Owen and Owen would make Lex do all the work so he would look like he was struggling to lift him. Then Bulldog would come in for the same move and Owen would help so Davey Boy would lift him with ease.
