Did You Know: Owen Hart...

Post by Bob-O » May 4th, '19, 05:46

TIL the plan for Owen Hart following The Blue Blazer gimmick was to take a more serious turn.

Owen was going to start referring to himself as "The Game", and as a dig to Bret, use the phrase "I'm not just the best in the game... I AM the GAME!"

As we all know, history ran it's course and the gimmick was picked up by a jabroni that nobody remembers and barely saw the light of day.

The Game?

Stupid nickname. It would never get over.
Have A Nice Day!

There's absolutely nothing wrong with what happened, there shouldn't be shame in it...

...but is there a MORE "Kliq-ey" thing to do than steal an unused gimmick from a dead guy and get crazy over with it?

Owen is regarded as a SUPER chill guy with no enemies, so I'm not sure how the Owen/Kliq relationship was, but after everything that went down, I can't imagine him leaving home-run gimmicks to Hunter in his Will...

I heard this just this week. One of those times where its unfortunate that another wrestler benefited from the misfortune of another...
