Loss Posted April 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Bret changed his gear and is dressed like Owen instead of in his usual attire. Owen is excited about finally getting his big break and is really good here. They are pretty over as a team, more so than I remembered.

Kevin Ridge Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Owen will finally get his big break. Him and Bret will finally win the big titles. Water under the bridge. I believe it. New tights for Bret. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoe Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Owen as the ultimate babyface is awesome. I also loved his subtle digs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exposer Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Owen cuts a really good promo here talking about the Rumble tag title match being his "big break." This was a great angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 I am really loving this angle and it may be the one that most resonates what has happened in my life. Owen superman babyface promo was awesome with just enough subtle hints at the turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Don't ask me why I keep noticing this, but...viewing Bret in a singlet here and at Survivor Series, you kind of understand why he prefers long tights. It's now pointed out that Bret and Owen will also be in the Rumble against each other--re-using undercard guys in the Rumble itself was a first, and it's practically a giant banner being dropped that said, "OUR ROSTER SUCKS NOW." Owen is just overflowing with enthusiasm, talking about what a big break is coming his way tonight after seeing Bret bring home title belt after title belt. The uber-babyface stuff is a great way of setting up the turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garretta Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 This was one of the best attempted swerves in wrestling history. Other than the understandable stuff about the tag title match being his big break, Owen talks like he and Bret really have made up and are a united pair. Most of the fans were probably seeing the turn as a foregone conclusion, so they needed to create some suspense about it, and they accomplished that here. Despite Vince's tease, Ray didn't ask about the Rumble match, probably because that would have undermined what the interview was trying to accomplish. I see by Graham's page that Owen was eliminated long before Bret even came to the ring, which was a smart move since they wanted to save the brothers' one-on-one confrontation for Mania X. Did Ray ever acknowledge that one of the Quebecers was his brother? I wonder if he ever interviewed Jacques, and how they played it if he did. If I had to guess, I'd say someone else did those interviews, since Jacques was never explicitly recognized as Jacques Rougeau while he was a Quebecer that I know of. Personally, I think Ray would have been a much better fit as the Quebecers' manager than Levy was, whether they acknowledged Ray and Jacques as brothers or not.
