1999/10/04: Chris Benoit vs Bret Hart

An awesome match, dubbed the Owen Hart Tribute Match as it was staged in Kansas City as Bret’s goodbye to his brother. It’s filled with the kind of stuff you just never saw on Nitro – ring psychology, mutual respect, a total lack of bullshit storyline developments and other ga-ga, and a clean finish. The wrong guy went over, but really it didn’t matter in this case. Chris Benoit tapped to the Sharpshooter at about the 20 minute mark, on a TV match, filling me, however temporarily, with hope for the future of the promotion. Two weeks later, Russo was in, and that hope was gone.
