With regards to the discussion about Owen Hart as a tv worker. I have been watching the Monday Night War era and I am up to July 1998. So from September 1995 to July 1998. I have selected the match of the week between both shows during all of these weeks. Right now between the 2 shows, I have selected a match involving Owen Hart 19 out of 137 weeks which puts him at #2. I have Benoit at #1 with 24. Just strictly my opinion, but definitely some food for thought.
The following matches are not all what I would consider great, or necessarily even good, but they are the best matches in that particular week of the Monday Night War.
w/ Yoko vs Smoking Gunns (9/25/95)
Camp Cornette vs Diesel, Shawn Michaels, and Undertaker (10/9/95)
vs Razor Ramon (10/30/95)

vs Bret Hart (11/25/96)
w/ Bulldog vs Doug Furnas and Phil LaFon (2/3/97)
