According to Natalya, for a lot of people, it would either be Steve Austin vs. Bret Hart or Shawn Michaels vs. Bret Hart. However, the simplicity of Owen’s and Bret’s match was enough to earn it a spot on Nattie’s list.

Natalya then talked about how big of a role Bret Hart played in his brother, Owen Hart, getting a huge push in WWE. Originally, Owen and Bret’s match wasn’t planned, and WWE had different plans for them. Apparently, Bret Hart stood up for his brother, telling Vince that he wanted Owen to have his moment. The two then went on to have a great match that saw Owen Hart emerge victorious.

She said, “A lot of people don’t know this, Bret was a huge catalyst for Owen getting a huge push in WWE”, said Natalya. “Vince McMahon, there was a different direction they were going to go with Bret that year, and it wasn’t with Owen. Bret stood up and said no I want Owen to have this moment, to be a part of this match, I want him in this.”

Natalya said that what she admired the most was how Bret Hart stood up and fought for his brother. In doing so, The Hitman created a magical moment that has lived on for years. Owen was playing the bad guy at the time but was actually a sweet person.
