When Owen Hart first made his debut for the WWE, there was a problem. WWE management wanted to utilize the high flying, exciting Owen as a babyface, but his brother Bret Hart was already an established star and a heel, at that.

In order to keep Owen out of big brother Bret's shadow, they created the Blue Blazer gimmick.

After spending a few years under the mask, Owen finally unveiled himself after Bret turned face. He was often used in storylines where heels would beat him up to get under Bret's skin.

However, the time came for Owen Hart to break out on his own, and huge brother vs brother match was planned for Wrestlemania.

In fact, it's considered one of the best Mania matches of all time, including a shocker ending. But during the lead up to the Wrestlemania match, Owen had to turn heel, which he did by attacking Bret and kayfabe injuring his leg.

Then Owen went backstage to explain his actions...with unintentional if hilarious, results.
