Good-looking action, and possibly Owen's first match as a heel. Lawler goes nuts with piledrivers, drawing a DQ and setting up a no-time limit, no-disqualification rematch.

 

Owen Hart and Bert Prentice are a hilariously mismatched couple. Owen for the first time proclaims himself the "King of Harts"! Owen is pretty scattershot in his promo but his patented whiny heel shtick is already there.

 

Lawler notices that Owen is 6 inches shorter than he was before the match started. This is one of those "spell the result out without breaking kayfabe" promos, as they more or less spell out that Lawler is getting the Unified title back.

I don't think we're supposed to believe that Lawler really piledrove Oewn eight times. The clip we saw showed four, and that's more than enough under any circumstances, even if Lawler's completely out of control as he seems to be here.

 

Lawler's stuff is pretty standard and mostly a rehash of his original promo a couple of weeks before, but that's enough for this segment.

 

As for Owen, he's really a mess here. This has never been his issue; he's just in Memphis because Bret's supposedly afraid to show his face. But to hear Owen talk here, you wouldn't even know he has ​a brother. The "King of Harts" stuff is a nice line, but it doesn't fit these particular circumstances at all, where Owen is pretty much Bret's stooge and nothing more. Shouldn't Bret ​be the "King of Harts", at least as far as Memphis goes? Maybe they knew he couldn't come in for a while and didn't want to tease something they couldn't deliver, but it still doesn't make much sense. Neither does Prentice, for that matter. If no one else is available. send Howard Finkel (who's already established as a heel to the Memphis audience because of his earlier appearances) as the Harts' mouthpiece; the Memphis regulars should be nowhere near this except for Lawler and whatever partners he may need at a given time.
