HART ATTACK
An Untold Tale Of Bret and Owen Hart
#PWHS #Article #HartAttack #BretAndOwenHart
Just to be clear. This is a fantasy piece.
Bret and Owen Hart are without a doubt, the most famous members of the Hart family. This is largely due to the fact that both were featured on WWF/E programming for a number of years. Now, we all know how Bret left and came back. We all know Owen died in a tragic accident. Those situations have nothing to do with this post. This fantasy piece is about what if Owen and Bret won the WWF tag titles in 1994.
In 1994 Bret and Owen challenged The Quebecers for the WWF Tag Team titles at The Royal Rumble ppv. Owen turned on Bret, on that night, and they went on to have one of WrestleManaia's greatest opening matches. Perhaps the greatest match in WrestleMania history. However, what if they won the tag team titles, and made, what at that time was a fairly weak tag division, that much stronger? Let's find out!!
Survivor Series 1993
Eight-Man Tag Team Elimination Match
The Hart Family(Bret, Owen, Bruce, Keith) beat Jerry Lawler, The Red Knight, The Blue Knight, and The Black Knight) in 30:35.
Owen was the only one eliminated and it was Bret who unintentionally got Owen pinned. So, Owen was angry. He came back down to ringside and shoved Bret. But over the (American) Thanksgiving holiday, they made up, and all was well again. So well in fact that on Superstars they made an announcement!
"We have decided that we're going for the World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Titles!"
"That's right, Bret. We have always known there is nobody that can top the Hart Family when it comes to professional wrestling, and we're gonna prove that when we win those tag team belts!"

Bret's knee was still injured. He had the sharpshooter on the 1-2-3 Kid, but couldn't stand on the leg. It gave out on him, allowing the 1-2-3 Kid to roll him up for a pin!
Owen was furious! He had enough! Seeing it as Bret tring to hog the spotlight, Owen kicked Bret's leg out from his leg, and Bret went down in great pain!
And that would lead to their steel cage match at Summrslam, but that story has already been told!
