Bret Hart vs 123 Kid is definitely an underrated match. I think the main reason Kid had a forgettable heel turn was because for years he was built as a plucky underdog, who would in most (but not all) cases appear to be in way over his head, but would do everything he could to overcome the odds. And because of this he just didn't come across as a believable heel at that time and the crybaby match certainly didn't help.

We all wished to be the kid in the front row who got his pink shades before the match. But he obviously put on a hell of a match night in and night out. “Who gave so and so (insert any superstar from the 90s) their best match?” The answer is more often then not BRET the Hitman HART.

Even in WCW when the nWo were basically always winning or matches always ended in about 6 seconds because everyone just interfered straight away his matches had him losing to a few random people.

I remember the uproar when The Kid beat Razor Ramone. You NEVER saw a jobber beat a popular guy cleanly. You just never saw it. It was kind of ground breaking in a way. I might even go out on a limb and say that the first Kid wins against Razor might even be the first time ever that a jobber beat one of the popular guys cleanly, and almost definitely was the first time that said jobber actually gained some popularity. When I was watching WWE back then, I was a huge fan of Iron Mike Sharp. He was hilarious. I saw him wrestle at my local high school, and he was my favorite jobber. The man could do a comedy bit really well. I was really hoping after they gave The Kid a chance that they would do the same thing for Sharp. It never happened, sadly.

I remember really hating the 123 kid. In hindsight he worked the gimmick well.

That's weird. Plenty of people have hated X-Pac, but I've never met one wrestling fan that hated the 1-2-3 Kid.

I saw that match when Kid moonsaulted Razor. I was shocked then i couldnt stop laughing. U can see Razor say "What!!" After he gets pinned.

To me Sean is proof that skill and determination can make you get over despite the limitations. Sean became so good that he was used to test the waters with prospective talent. Chris Jericho credits Sean for helping him make it in the WWE. Fun fact: My brother and me were actually watching the match on T.V. when he upset Razor Ramon. We were actually just joking how cool it would be to see one of these no-name jobbers for a change. Needless to say, we were in for quite the surprise!

Like, when you got a babyface killa like Waltman, you got to be careful how you portray him. Otherwise he ends up looking like, as OSW constantly refers to 'Kid', a little bitch.

Yeah it did. He actually had a diaper match with Razor Ramon. Where Razor won by putting a diaper on him lol
