So, I was searching DDT Digest earlier, which pretty much has ever WCW show covered from 1996-2001, but on some off-on times they'd have some live RAW reports if they or anyone who attended the show sent it in, and I was reading threw a live RAW report from 5-10-1999, and in the dark match prior to the Shotgun Saturday Night/Super Astros tapings they had Owen Hart vs. Kurt Angle, I just thought that was very interesting, because to me it would be a dream match to see those two wrestle, and sadly this would had been about 3 weeks before Owen died, and the match was probably just short little match to get the crowd ready, and Kurt was probably not nearly as good as he is now, but none the less it's cool to know that a Owen Hart vs. Kurt Angle match did indeed happen.
Here's the part of the report the guy wrote up about it:
Dark Match: Owen Hart pinned Kurt Angle after a spinning heel kick.
* Poor Owen. He's gone from Intercontinental Champion and a major player on WWF's pay-per-views to doing dark matches for Monday night shows. I just hope he doesn't try a piledriver.
* Angle comes out to Del Wilkes' (The Patriot) old theme.
* As misused as Hart has been, he still gets heat, even though it's in the form of ten thousand plus fans yelling "Nugget!"
* This would be your cookie-cutter Nitro or Thunder match. Kurt controls at the start and hits a Northern Lights suplex at one point for two.
* Hart grabs Angle on a leapfrog attempt and powerbombs him.
* Angle comes back with a powerslam but Hart hits an enziguri shortly after.
* Hart goes up top and gets crotched, allowing Angle to hit a superplex for two.
* Hart comes off the ropes into Angle, who hesitates for about two seconds before applying a side belly-to-belly suplex.
* Hart finishes Angle off with a spinning heel kick.
* Angle looked alright, but he needs some polish before going on Heat or RAW.
