Seeing as it was 10 years ago today that Owen Hart died, lets take some time to look back on his best matches... What was your favourite Owen Hart match? If you weren't watching wrestling then, I'm sure people have seen old matches on DVD's or youtube or some shit. So list your favourite matches...
I always liked Bret Hart vs Owen Hart from Summerslam 94. I didn't watch it live, and I doubt many have, as the majority of people here, like me, were probably between 2 and 4. But I did watch it later, on dvd, or maybe it wa VHS at that time. He may have had better matches at some point, but I loved that this one was a brother vs brother, and also in a Cage.
What's everyone else's?
Edit: Just realised this is in WWE section. Shoulda put it in Classic... Oh well.

I know most people will say his cage match with Bret, and while it was a great match, especially for it's time, it's not my personal favourite. My favourite Owen Hart match was his WM10 match against Bret. As far as opening matches go, it has to be not only the greatest opener at a WM ever, but probably the greatest opening match for any ppv in history. In my eyes it was the match of the night ahead of the ladder match between HBK and Razor Ramon. It didn't need a ladder or a cage, just two great wrestlers that obviously had great chemistry together putting on one hell of a performance. That's up there as one of my favourite matches ever.

I know I'll catch some flack for this, but for me, Owen was better than Bret. His matches always felt different from the others, unlike Bret and his Five moves of doom. I'm not saying he was the better overall performer, but I think he was better in-ring than Bret and always entertained the hell out of me. People always discuss who the greatest WWE superstar to not hold the strap was and you always hear Perfect or DiBiase, but if it wasn't for Hogan's politicing or Randy Savage threatening to leave for the competition, they would have been champs. I think it was Owen, he was never even considered. That being said...

Owen vs. Liger from NJPW in 91- This match is so fuckin awesome and like 15 years ahead of it's time! Just awesome and my favorite Owen match ever!
Owen vs Bret @ WM X and Summerslam 94
Owen vs. Bulldog- Raw Feb. 1997, European Title Tourney Finals. AWESOME T.V MATCH!
Owen/Bulldog vs. Austin/Michaels- Raw, June 1997
Owen vs. HBK from a Raw in 1997- the awesome match where Owen backdrops Shawn about fifteen feet into the air to the outside.

Owen vs. Bret, Wrestlemania X... is by far one of the greatest matches I've ever seen. I remember watching it live, and almost KNOWING Bret was going to win that match with his storyline and momentum, and the match itself was incredible, but the rollup pin was out of this world. Awesome match.

Pretty much any match with Owen Hart vs. Bret Hart was good. But like alot of the people here I'll have to go with there one at WM 10. I got the DVD of it and that match just blew me away. Really great match and I might have to just break it out and watch it again. Hard to believe its been this long.

^^^Not meant to be a true reflection of Owen's legacy, but nothing much springs to mind aside from the Bret fued, the match with Bulldog and him breaking Austin's neck.

The match with Austin was a good one mind. But id have to say his match with skinner at WM 8 was actually good also.

Dude... A match where a guy breaks his opponent's neck is NOT a good match.

No no, i thought the overall match was good. Of course not when he got injured.

Two feuds I really enjoyed:
1- Against his brother, Bret.
2- Against Shawn Michaels.

Most of their encounters were good and the matches were almost a 5 star worthy at that time. imo
