Awesome match between Owen and Davy for the Euro Title. I think as far as a wrestling match goes, this was the best Euro match ever. Shane/X-pac is my favorite European match though as it had a ton of emotion attached to it

For those who may not know, the USWA promotion was actually formed through a merger of World Class and the CWA (Jerry Jarrett). Lawler was pretty much the star of the USWA.

I never saw the European title tournmanet but saw when Davey Boy dropped it to Shawn Michaels...for some reason. Dunno why he needed it.
