Owen - Hart Of Gold DVD Review: 14 Things You Should Know

11. Owen In WCW

I like to think of myself as a guy who knows quite a lot about wrestling but I never knew Owen Hart had a short stint in WCW in 1991. Footage of Owen€™s handful of matches in the promotion are shown here and he still looks as exciting a performer as he was back in Stampede Wrestling in the mid-to-late 80s.

Edge grew up a big Owen Hart fan and he fondly remembers Owen briefly appearing in WCW but that it just didn€™t feel right. Jim Ross, who worked in Atlanta as a broadcaster at the time, also discussed Owen€™s short run, remarking €œOwen like many who came through there, WCW didn't know what to do with him. He was phenomenal in 1991€. Too right he was.

When you watch old WCW stuff from the early 1990€™s, there€™s a lot of talented wrestlers who weren€™t really given proper characters or featured beyond enhancement matches and Owen suffered from this during his brief run down there.
