He had this match with Bret where Bret made him look like a million bucks. This match was the holy grail for collectors.
Tom Magee was insanely athletic and strong as hell but had maybe the worst facial expressions of any wrestler ever. He never really advanced higher than WWF C Shows. He had a stop in Stampede and an infamous trips to Japan where he had terrible matches.

He had a pretty good match with Arn Anderson, as well. But that was because he was in the ring with Arn Anderson, who was bumping and selling like mad while this guy was looking like Kenny Alpha.
I think the most special thing about this match was that Bret Hart was so good, he even worked the promoter.
