[1997-09-08-WWF-Raw] Goldust vs Owen Hart / XXX Files part 2

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Last few minutes. Austin ends up chasing Owen off and having words with Vince. Goldust is so slow getting up that I keep expecting him to take a stunner from Austin, but he never does.

 

Pillman is back with more of this horrible feud that I don't even really want to talk about anymore.

Owen doesn’t even take off his ring jacket. A Bret sighting! He ends up getting run off with rest of Hart Foundation by Austin. Well, Neidhart had disappeared.

Owen seems to have been shifted down the card a bit and that makes me a little sad as the HF in general are on the downswing. Goldust punches him in the nuts getting himself dq'd. HF attack until SCSA comes in to make the save.

 

We then get XXX Files part 2 with Terri in the shower.

Goldust gets DQ'd for repeatedly hitting Owen below the belt--that's two tournament matches that have ended with guys basically throwing their title opportunity away. Not really an effective method of getting the title over. Goldust gets jumped by the Hart Foundation afterward but Austin makes the save with a broom, then heaves it at McMahon who flips out in a great, crazy moment.

 

Pillman shows us Part 2 of the XXX Files. More of the same.

Fun little match actually with Owen working in his jacket the whole way through. Goldust shows good fire & loses his temper on a payback low blow spot & continues to hit Owen beneath the belt to get DQed. The HF run down & attack Goldust, but Austin shows up out of the crowd with a broom. He whacks away at the HF with the broom & does hilarious sweeping gestures at Vince & heaves the broom at him! He continues to give him shit to great heat. The post-match is a blast. Austin is great.

 

Once Austin leaves, we get the live second edition of Pillman's XXX Files. Marlena has written "I love you" to Goldust on the bathroom mirror while taking a shower (I'm assuming that's the explanation for it) as Pillman continues to mock Goldust about fucking his wife. Yep.
