The real-life brothers’ feud started at the Survivor Series ’93, where Owen got eliminated because he was “distracted” by Bret.
Young Owen Hart got frustrated and wanted to step out of his elder brother’s shadow to prove to the world that he’s better.
Eventually, the two brothers met at the ‘Showcase of the Immortals’ where they put on a classic match.
After a series of grapples, suplexes, and punches, the emotions ran high in the match. Eventually, the younger Owen Hart defeated The Hitman and put on a splendid performance which is still immortal.
Eventually, this win proved enough for Owen to put him on the main event spot as a solo contender.
