Owen Hart

We can all agree that at some point, Owen would have surpassed his brother Bret, had he not died in a wrestling accident in 1999. The younger brother of Bret and a mainstay in WWF both as a babyface and a heel was on the verge of something big. He had, however, never held the company’s main title.

Owen was a two-time WWF Intercontinental Champion; a one-time IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion; a one-time WWF European Champion; a four-time WWF World Tag Team Champion; and the winner of the 1994 WWF King of the Ring. He appeared destined for greatness.
