Good point.

More like a nugget. He should have won the World title at least once. There were a few occasions where he would have fit in as a good World Champ for 2 or 3 months.

I agree with viper I never could have bought Owen Hart as the Game much like I never could have bought Terry Taylor as Mr Perfect.

Good point.

Thanks for showing him to me in 1992

If you ask me if Owen was still alive John Cena probably wouldn't have become so big.

Please explain how

Please explain how

Simple John Cena came into the prominence cause they needed somebody to neutralize the company, somebody young to bring the company forward. If Owen was there I believe John Cena's rise to prominence wouldn't have been so big.

You're not going to get far in life acting like a condescending know-it-all twat, Vips. I'm glad that once again you managed to ignore the point that, at a time, all wrestlers reflected an image far from what they turned into. Think about the rough true born Dustin Rhodes turning into Goldust, or the cocky bleach blonde Stunning Steve turning into Stone Cold, or of course the French aristocrat Jean Paul Levesque becoming the Cerebral Assassin, Triple H. None of them could have been pictured in the roles they grew into until it happened, so you can't tell me Owen Hart couldn't have been effective as "The Game". He was already used to outgrappling all of his opponents and could be one of the cockiest guys around at times, so if they put a weapon in his hand and one or two associates at his side, I think they could have turned him into a threatening entity. I actually thought his whole Nation of Domination attire and attitude were pretty effective in making him look more dangerous than usual, and that was without really trying to make him look especially mean.

If you ask me, it would have been effective. Obviously Triple H IS the better fit. That I won't deny. But I don't think the idea would have been a bust by any means.

Sorry Mitch, but I also fail to see how a dude who died close to five years prior to John Cena's debut had much of an effect on his rise.

 

[Sabretooth]

No it wouldn't have been terrible but I don't think he could have lasted very long.

I believe his argument is that Owen would have been the figure that Cena became instead.

 

[Swinny]

I really don't think there's any correlation between Owen and Cena. Had Owen still been around, it was still several years before Cena came around and Owen could have very well been gone already. He wasn't that young, he was 34 when he died, so by the time Cena came around he would have been in his late 30's and according to what many people have said, he was at the end of his career anyway and wanted to retire soon to spend more time with his family and do other things.

You never know look at HBK

 

[TroyTheAverage]

I miss Owen Hart.

I was watching that PPV when it happened. One of the saddest things I have ever seen. I even cried during Raw the next night.

Thanks for bringing up bad memories... dicks.

Sorry Troy...lets talk about King Kong Bundy now
