Loss Posted December 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Last few minutes. Davey Boy subbed for Owen (I know the storyline reason, but I have no idea the real reason). Owen runs in at the last minute to do the job. The action looked really good, and I'd like to see this match in full sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cox Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 I'm guessing the real reason was, "We don't want any of these teams to win the titles, so let's figure out a creative way to get out of the promised stipulation." Cornette was on the creative team around this time, so they had the expert in getting out of promised stips right there in the match.

Loss Posted December 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Cornette was helping book before SMW folded? Are we sure? I'm not doubting you, I just want to verify that, because I wonder if there are enough hours in a day at a certain point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cox Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 I could very well be mistaken on that. It was more a joke about how often Cornette tried to get out of fulfilling stips in SMW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackToBionic Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 It's such a weird finish. If they wanted to renege on the advertised stip, why involve Owen in the finish at all? Bulldog or even Yoko getting pinned would have made more sense. It's almost WCWian in it's lack of logic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smack2k Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Owen sneaking in and pinning Shawn for the IC Title would have been a MUCH better idea to me... Then the next night could have either a rematch on TV or build to it with the title held-up...Owen vs. Shawn for OCt would have made WAY more sense that Douglas...but the Marines in Syracuse had other ideas.. So...Owen keeps the belt and drops it to Razor in OCt and things can go from there if needed....I'd have Owen keep it longer though....maybe drop it on TV to Razor later in one of those long TV matches that we could be talking about as a gem in a shit year...

Zenjo Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Shawn got to have a title reign without jobbing it back. What more explanation do you need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Weird finish that certainly didn't do Owen any favors. But the action before that was really good--Davey Boy getting whipped into Yokozuna and then getting crushed was a fun spot, as was Shawn using the flying elbow to make a save for Diesel. Shawn & Diesel win the tag titles, which of course isn't going to last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cactus Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 Bulldog is replacing Owen, who has been missing since the show started. This is the first In Your House event to not feature Diesel in a singles match and it's also the first In Your House main event to not completely suck. Coincidence? I think not. There's an awkward moment where Bulldog struggles to get Diesel up for a suplex and I wondering if that was intentional sandbagging by Diesel or if it was just a botch. Michaels wrestles the majority of the match for his team and he's brilliant as always. I love the sumo stand-off that he and Yokozuna had and he ragdolls himself all over the place for Bulldog and Yoko. Yoko might be gaining an alarming amount of weight by this point, he's still able to throw himself around the place when he needs to. Like the Ramon/Douglas match from earlier on, this is yet another decent match hindered by its poor finish. Owen Hart makes an appearance during the final few moments and ends up eating a powerbomb from Diesel and taking the pin. This whole 'Owen Is Missing' storyline was just an excuse to give the fans a feel-good ending to the PPV as the titles would be awarded back to Owen & Yoko the next night on Raw as Owen wasn't technically in the match. ★★¾ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
