Posted October 12, 20186 yr comment_5869049 Diesel lost the WWF Championship to Bret Hart, and is acting more like a heel with every week. He doesn't give a shit what you think about him and looks very cool, any many members of the crowd not wanting to boo him just yet. It's a shame this match is very brief, as it looks like these two could of meshed well. Owen works a frantic pace and forces Big Sexy to keep up with him. One spots sees Owen getting dropped on his head after Diesel launches him of the second turnbuckle. Diesel looks to of have the match won after he hits the Jacknife, but chooses to get himself disqualified instead, by shoving the referee. It's a questionable booking decision, but it makes more sense as the night goes on. ★★
January 12Jan 12 comment_6027028 Diesel vs Owen Hart - WWF IYH 5 Fresh off losing the WWF Title, this is Diesel’s only non-title 1995 PPV appearance. These two had a very good match for title at the beginning of the year on Action Zone and the chemistry continues here. It is too bad they never got 15 minutes together they worked well together. The booking here is great. Diesel is pissed about losing the WWF Championship but he is still best friends with Shawn Michaels. So when Owen gloats about putting Shawn out with the Enziguiri of Death, Diesel takes exception to this and wants to exact some revenge on Shawn’s behalf. Nash plays this match really well. He is even more aggressive. Cornering Owen early, throwing his body weight into him and just manhandling. Owen takes a crazy bump off a pieface. I don’t know if Nash was too forceful or if Owen went for too much rotation. Diesel misses the Big Boot. Owen spinwheel kick. Missile dropkick. Owen works the leg really well. Diesel shoves him into the buckles on spinning toe hold. Diesel finish stretch: Snake Eyes, Straddle, Big Boot Jacknife. Foot on chest 1-2-NOPE Diesel makes to mete out more punishment. The ref gets in his face and he shoves the ref triggering the DQ But Big Daddy Cool don’t care as he Jacknifes Owen anyways and leaves him laying. The condensed version of their Action Zone, good action here even better character work. Loved it ***
