It's not bad but it's not exactly the second coming of Wrestlemania X either. It suffers from the mythical Bret Hart house show effort. He pretty much sits back and gives Owen something like 80% of the offense before winning with a roll-up at the end. Before that, though, we do get a pretty decent shine with them trading slaps and Owen trying to cheat at any chance he can get. Owen does a pretty admirable job of carrying the action during his lengthy heat segment, though it does get old after a while seeing him work a bunch of holds without really escalating things. I did like how he seemed to always make some kind of effort to entertain fans while in the holds, doing stuff like posing while in a camel clutch or flipping off fans, which got a laugh from me. Another funny moment was when Owen tried to walk right after reaching the ropes off a reversed figure-4, but he just ended up slumping down. Flair flop done right.
