There could not be enough appreciation threads for Owen. At least IMO. He was the reason I watch wrestling. The first match I saw of his was with his old tag partner Koko B. Ware against some jobbers.That one little match made me a fan for life. Whenever , whether heel or jobber or face, I always cheered for The Rocket because he was that damn good. And yes, as King Jeriko mentioned, he was under-used and under-pushed especially in his last years. I can't pick a fav match but one match I would have loved to see would be Owen Vs. Jeriko. So,to Owen, thank you for all the hours of entertainment, for being so passionate about his job and his family that he dedicated his life to, and just for making me a fan. He is an inspiration. RIP Owen.
