Few wrestling fans would have complained even if they knew the truth at the time, but Bret Hart vs. Owen Hart inside a steel cage at SummerSlam 1994 went way longer than it was supposed to; taking liberties with the clock, the Hart brothers went almost 15 minutes longer than the WWF had planned.

This ate into the time allotted to The Undertaker's match with his doppelgänger in the main event, and that didn't make Mark Calaway happy.

After having his headliner cut drastically short to less than nine minutes, a furious Undertaker confronted Bret backstage and told him this was unacceptable. Prichard claims that nobody was in attendance for this verbal spat, largely because nobody wanted to see what might happen if Hart shot back at his peer in anger.

Prichard doesn't think The Undertaker would have threatened Bret, because that wasn't his style, but Bruce does feel Calaway would have told Hart that the move was disrespectful before warning the Canadian never to do anything like that to him again.
