WrestleMania X - Bret Hart Vs. Owen Hart
WrestleMania X - Bret Hart Vs. Owen Hart
This review is out of context of the PPV as it's from Brets DVD but i'll explain anyway. Bret and Lex Luger won the Royal Rumble, Lex won a coin toss enbaling him a shot at Yokozuna first, which he would lose, and Bret faced Owen Hart first on the night before facing Yokozuna in the main event, you follow? This match isn't random though as Owen was the only Hart eliminated at Surviovor Series '93 (Vs. HBK and his knights) then at Rumble he officially turned heel on Bret. MSG loves Bret, except for the kid he gives his glasses to as he looks angry, must be an Owen fan. Owen kips out of a headscissors and poses. Waistlock takedown by Owen but Bret manages to use his momentum to send Owen through the ropes, heel slap by Owen, I mean he slapped him like a heel not that he slapped Brets heel. Nice counters on the mat, hair pull by Owen into a wristlock. Armdrag into an armbar by Bret following a 2 off a roll up. Monkeyflip and clothesline sends Owen ringside. Shoving contest starts then ends with Bret slapping Owen. Crucifix gets 2 and Bret now has an armbar. Heel kick by Owen is proceeded with kicks sending Bret ringside where Owen slams him into the ringpost. Inring Bret breaks a camel clutch but gets belly-to-bellied. Bridged german gets Owen 2, bret gets his own 2 off a small package. Jumping tombstone but Owen misses a follow up splash, Undertaker must've seen that ta home and saved it for 'Mania 26. Bret is fighting back now, backbreaker followed by an elbow drop gets 2. Owen hits a pattented enziguri, he tries to follow it with a Sharpshooter but Bret manages to stop it. Bret dives over the top rope but hurts his knee giving Owen an easy target, he mocks a limping Bret then applies an indian deathlock/figure four type move. Legwhip leads to a proper figure four. Bret busts out an enziguri, not sure i've seen him do one before, a bulldog and piledriver both get 2. Owen sucsessfully applies the Sharpshooter, I thought Bret was tapping for a moment but he was drumming up crowd support, he manages to counter the Sharpshooter to one of his own. In the corner now as Bret goes for a victory roll but Owen counters it mid roll and pins Bret down for 3 at 20:20 Owen wins! ***** - The best opener in 'Mania history and I dont see it being topped (Editors Note - maybe HHH/Bryan). Smart booking aswell as Bret won the title later in the night and by virtue of this win Owen was a credible contender. The match itself was great as you had the technically sound stuff and psychology ala NWA with the leg.
