The Blazer stuff did well on the first WWF set, and this is as good or better then those matches. Valentine is adept at working this kind of a workrate sprint, as this built to a big exciting finish with Valentine desperate to apply the figure four, Owen constantly countering and the bumping Valentine to the floor and unloading a bunch of offense on him. Good stuff, which many people will dig.
June 18, 201114 yr comment_5473653 I thought this was pretty great and safely the best thing I've watched so far tonight. Valentine is crazy underrated and Owen is Owen so I knew this had a chance but this overacheived. The opening armwork was fun but this didn't get super good until Owen took his speedy bump to the floor. From there they just work a great run of stuff centered around whether or not Owen can survive Hammer's clubbing style and whether or not Valentine can survive Owen's big offense. Loved the spot with Owen hitting a desperation second rope dropkick out of the corner and Valentine doing his delayed face plant bump. I also thought it was cool how Greg hung onto a bodyslam attempt and seemed to turn it into a backbreaker on a whim. The stuff with three escapes of the figure four was great and Owen's run of big offense all looked good leading up to the cool finish with him going to the well one too many times and Valentine laying on an awesome looking cover after the slam for the finish.

I actually watched their MSG match first and then their Toronto match, which helped illustrate how much better this particular bout was in terms of details and in particular the transitions. The MSG bout did have the sweetest beatdown of Owen, however.
