>>10652128>>10652178Anon, I love Owen Hart. But let's be honest with ourselves: he was only a draw in that hot minute where he went Black Hart and would come in through the crowd to beat the shit out of HBGay and Triple Bypass after the Screwjob. That only lasted a few months before Gaytch politicked to turn DX babyface and Owen went back to heel and nothing in kayfabe was ever resolved. Owen was a midcarder for the rest of his (short) career. And sadly, Owen has been mostly forgotten today.
The Owen Hart tournament is not going to draw. Perhaps if they called it the Hart Foundation tournament, and got Bret to give the speech instead of Martha, and was dedicated to ALL of the Hart Foundation and adjacent guys like Bret, Bulldog, Pillman, Owen, and Jim, then maybe that could do some numbers. At least then they could use it to highlight Pillman Jr. who has been completely lost in the midcard for over a year now.
