Gods of another kind will have to wait until the next entry. For now, here's the Hart brother Vince McMahon wasn't particularly interested in: Bruce.

At Survivor Series 1993, Brucey baby teamed with Bret, Owen and Keith (who, the announcers couldn't wait to tell the world, was actually a full-time fireman and hadn't wrestled in years) against Shawn Michaels and his knights. It was supposed to be Jerry Lawler, but the 'King' was busy fending off some legal troubles.

Remarkably, Owen was the only sibling eliminated during the match, and his frustrations helped kick off a memorable heel turn on brother Bret at the coming Royal Rumble. Back to Bruce though; he tried to become a full-time member of the roster, and even pitched himself as the bro who'd stab the 'Hitman' in the back by 1994.

Prichard told on his 'Something To Wrestle With' podcast that McMahon wasn't interested, but did let Bruce contribute some more ideas to the company. He wasn't ever going to make it as a wrestler in the company though, and Survivor Series '93 remains his sole TV match.
