Owen Hart vs Jeff Jarrett
This is the night after No Way Out 1998. Jarrett is NWA North American champion and Owen is WWF European champion. I loved the NWA faction at the time and still do. Jeff Jarrett, heel Rock and Roll Express and Barry Windham. Hell if that group had stuck around til Severn showed up might be an all time favorite.
Owen goes right after Jarrett and the pace of the match never lets up. Owen is great as a face here and over. He gets most of the offense with Jarrett hitting a move here and there. He hits a ddt but instead of pinning Owen gloats about how smart he is. This being a 1998 Raw with guys roughly at the same level it end with Jarrett getting disqualified when Cornette saves him from the Sharpshooter submission. Still a really good long for 1998 Raw match.
From the same show I think the Rock and Roll Express )Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson) defend the NWA World tag team titles vs the Headbangers. I know some people hate the Headbangers but I always liked them. Good traditional tag team. Always hit their stuff smoothly. The RnR are heels here and do a really good job doing it. Doing a bunch of Midnight Express stuff. Nice spot with Most hitting a double DDT on the RnRs. Looks like the Headbangers win after hitting a powerbomb/legdrop combo but they get disqualified for throwing Robert Gibson over the top rope.
