  1. Owen Hart's WWF Run: 1999 and beyond

    Yes and no. From 1994 onward Owen probably made the same roughly as Davey. Owen (under his pre-1996 non guaranteed deal) would have been given main-event money in 1994, while as a tag-team champion in 1995 would have seen his earnings go down. Davey was a tag wrestler for much of 1995 (and not...
  2. Owen Hart's WWF Run: 1999 and beyond

    Two reasons: 1) Vince allowed Davey Boy out of his contract in exchange for Smith paying the WWF a $150K fee. Owen was not given that option. 2) Vince felt Owen was more valuable than Davey Boy for a number of reasons. One - Owen was a better worker than Davey Boy. In some respects he had a...

Marc Merro was the first to get a downside guarantee (ironically even with Nash and Hall still in the...
  5. Owen Hart's WWF Run: 1999 and beyond

    I doubt it. The only ten year WWF deal that I am aware of is the one that Hogan was under, which expired in 1994. In 1996 the WWF began to get a lot of their talent to commit to new deals that had guaranteed contracts. HHH got one, Davey Boy Smith did as well. Both however had deals that were...
  6. Owen Hart's WWF Run: 1999 and beyond

    This scenario begins with the premise that Owen Hart's harness works and that he faces Charles Wright at Over the Edge as planned: Over the Edge 1999: Owen Hart wins the Intercontinential title RAW after Over the Edge: Owen abandons The Blue Blazer gimmick and says he only used it to get the...
