I was in Baltimore when we won the King of the Ring. And about a month later I saw a house show in Ocean City where he wrestled Bret. He had a ton of heat, and he looked right at the crowd and flipped us off. First wrestler I ever saw throw the single-finger salute; just built his heat even more.
I remember the night he died I was watching on PPV. The night was just...weird. You could tell after the accident, nobody cared about the show or the work. They just went through the motions and did what they had to do in order to get through the night.
Owen was one of those workhorses who could elevate anyone he was in the ring with. Edge's first singles PPV match was with Owen. He just seemed like one of those guys who may not have ever been world champ, but a solid talent who would just be on the roster forever. He was a fantastic mechanical wrestler, but he was also a brilliant showman and entertainer. He's truly missed.
