Owen Hart vs 1-2-3 Kid-WWF King Of The Ring 16.6.1994.

For an all action 4 minute workrate sprint it doesn't get much better than this. I love how violent they made the dives look, and Owen's bump of a countered irish whip was marvelous. Countered irish whips are one of the spots where I most commonly scratch my head and think about how contemplating the consistency of pro wrestling physics how I should be reacting to any match, but here Owen just blats that corner like a shotgun. The timing on the Northen Lights Suplex false finish was impeccable, Kid's offence was smooth and his kicks even surprisingly good and a spinning heel kick countered into a mid-air German Suplex is something that'd pop you watching 1998 All Japan, let alone a New Generation WWF match, such a brutal spot, and the counter Powerbomb wasn't far behind. ***3/4

Owen Hart vs Ken Shamrock-WWF Fully Loaded 26.7.1998.

A lovely match. The atmosphere of them fighting in such a tiny space really adds a lot, and the environment makes every move look more dangerous. A proper German Suplex looks cool enough in the ring but a thin mat that lets out a clear thud when you're thrown onto further enhances it. I don't really associate 1998 WWF with great mount punches, but we got them here, and bumps into the wall, the bar on the ceiling and the ceiling really got over the recklessness. The brief shooty sequences were well done, and I wasn't bothered by the finish, in fact I was shocked at how good they managed to make a ridiculous weapon shot look. ****

Antonio Inoki vs David Schultz-WWF 28.12.1984.

Schultz is the guy that slaped a reporter once right? Seems fitting he'd be challenging Inoki for the World's Martial Arts title. This was fun-Schultz controlled the match with basic holds but Inoki's comebacks were really good-he went after Schultz with nice slaps and awesome looking punches. Schultz also executed a Suplex by dropping Inoki more on his head/neck which was....not exactly what I excpected out of 1984 WWF. **3/4
