>>19414344Despite the concussion, Bret kept wrestling - even a hardcore match with the Funkster - which caused him to have post-concussion syndrome and ultimately HAVE to retire. It's stupid what Goldberg did, but Bret should have been smarter as well.
Owen fucked up on a massive scale. Not only did he almost cripple Austin, Austin TOLD him NOT to do that move, multiple times. He almost killed Austin's career, almost killed Vince's next big thing and almost killed the WWF's future prospects. Austin had to sit on the sidelines for months because he clearly could not just return and wrestle. It says a lot of Austin's charisma he manages to keep people interested in him despite his injuries. Along with almost ruining Austin's career, Owen's career after SummerSlam 1997 was basically over. He shot himself in the foot - Austin would no longer want to work with him after Survivor Series and Vince seemed to just have him around for whatever reason to ultimately give him a humilation ritual that results in his death.
