Loss Posted January 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 I always got entertainment from stories of Owen and Warrior being friends for whatever reason. Warrior gets almost no offense here, as they are clearly burying him as much as possible, knowing he's through. Vader, Owen and Davey Boy destroy him.

FLIK Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Was this one of those deals whear this was taped before they actually knew this was Warrior's last night in? Everything about this is just bizare, especally if the answer to the above question is no. Given the circumstances I actually don't think they buried him nearly that bad. Even Vince on commentary kinda took the high road. Weird in every way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 They had taped a Warrior run-in or angle for the 7/15 Raw to follow up on this, but obviously it never aired. Warrior gives Owen a lot here, but when he makes his comeback he looks clumsy and tepid even by his low standards. Somehow he's deteriorated further from 1992. Surprisingly low on heat, too. Cornette, Vader and Bulldog beat the crap out of him to end this with a very good heel beatdown. I can't totally fault WWF for giving it another go-round with the Warrior--the Monday Night War had brought back a lot of lapsed fans and it wasn't inconceivable that they could have gotten the Jake Roberts lightning to strike twice but on a bigger scale. But the odds were probably against this working out from the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Warrior gets almost no offense here, as they are clearly burying him as much as possible, knowing he's through. Come on. Warrior beats the shit out of Owen for a good half of the match. Then he does give Owen more than you'd expect, but I'd say he was still on offense for more than half of the match. It does seem they were expecting Warrior to return at some point, because they really don't bury him on commentary. Last match ever for Warrior in WWF, and his comeback in WCW would be one of the worst stint ever by a big name in a big company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Oh, I forgot about this. Warrior vs. Owen is an interesting match on paper but the action here isn't inspiring and the result is a beatdown from Camp Cornette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruiserBrody Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 I was there live for this. Strongest memory I have of the whole night is how many fans left after they got to see the Warrior wrestle. (and he had another segment and match to come) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exposer Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 I don't think this match is bad at all. Perfectly solid TV match with a strong Owen performance. It is interesting to see Owen work over Warrior for a few minutes. People rarely got to have any sustained offense on him. The post-match is a pretty good heel beat down. Warrior gets carried out & it's the 2014 WWE HOF before we see him again in New York. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
